Being Green with Your Adjustable Bed

Ontario-Specific Adjustable Bed Questions

Will OHIP or my health insurance help pay for an adjustable bed?

Here's the honest answer - OHIP usually won't cover adjustable beds just for comfort (though honestly, better sleep should be covered, right?). But if your doctor prescribes one for a medical condition, you might get some tax breaks! And some extended health plans do help out. Dorothy always tells folks to call their insurance company - you might be surprised!

What about delivery during those brutal Ontario winters?

Great question! Jeff from our delivery team has this down to a science after 37 years. We're super careful about protecting all the electronics from temperature shock, and honestly, we prefer to deliver when it's not -30 outside! We always let everything warm up for a couple hours before setup. Winter delivery is totally doable - we just plan it right.

Can you really deliver to remote areas up north?

Absolutely! Look, Northern Ontario deliveries take a bit more planning, but we've been doing this for decades. We work with local carriers who know these routes like the back of their hand. Matt from our team coordinates everything, and honestly, we schedule around the seasons to make sure we can actually get to you! Plus, our white glove service means we'll set everything up perfectly no matter how far north you are.

Are these beds actually safe for Ontario homes?

Oh absolutely! Talia (our sleep science expert) is really big on safety. All the adjustable beds we carry have CSA certification and meet all of Ontario's electrical and fire safety codes. For the fancy hardwired models, you might need an ESA inspection, but honestly, most of our beds just plug into regular outlets. Safety first, always!

What about taxes on adjustable beds in Ontario?

So here's the deal with HST - most adjustable bed purchases get the full 13% tax (that's the 5% GST plus 8% PST). But if your doctor prescribes the bed for medical reasons, you might be able to avoid some of that tax! Dorothy always tells customers to keep all their receipts and chat with their accountant if they think it might be a medical expense. Every situation is different!

What if I need service or warranty work done?

Great question! So if you're in Southern Ontario, we can usually get someone to you the same day or next day. Up north takes a bit more coordination, but we've got partners all over the province. Matt from our team handles all the logistics, and honestly, our 60-night guarantee means you're covered no matter where you are in Ontario. We'll make it right!
