Buy a Co-op bed and we’ll buy your old one off you
From now until 4 March if you trade in an old bed or mattress at Co-op Beds, you’ll get cashback towards a new one – up to £150, depending on the size.
Your old bed will also be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, saving you the hassle of getting rid of it too.
An even better deal if you use your double discount
Colleagues get 5% discount at Co-op Beds all year round, which is doubled to 10% during double discount dates – the next one is 16/17 February.
I used the site to buy a bed for my nephew on double discount day. Site is awful. As mentioned previously I clearly put in requirement for a double bed, but cost provided was for single. Then only provision for next day delivery (but not at weekends) which I didn’t want. Finally the delivery address was going to be different from payment billing address, but the site didn’t allow this. I therefore had to phone up to arrange a delivery date I wanted and highlight the payment issues. I then had to phone my bank and make sure the payment would go through. Poor experience overall, but bed is good and delivered when requested.
@Transparent
I think you are making that list up
Re bed bug
I couldn’t agree more, and the last I knew water was not a harmful Chemical
lots of people drown in it – that makes it pretty dangerous!!
Still confused by this deal with silentnight.
Unsure where the co-op difference is? Wheres the value add?
Transparent has too much time on his or her hands .
This site is still very miss-leading. If you filter for Double beds, you are taken to a page titled ‘Silentnight Double Beds – 4’6″ ‘. If you then select a bed from the range (I chose one with prices from £449.69), it asks you to select the size you want – odd, since I am viewing the page stating DOUBLE BEDS. Just watch the price jump by £200 when you select double bed from this new drop down box. It makes the filters and the page headers completely meaningless.
And don’t let the bed bugs bite either..

Hi there, Co-op Beds is the brand for our partnership with Silentnight, but we don’t make them ourselves. When we launched the partnership we were clear it was with Silentnight, and you can read that story here – https://colleaguestories.coop.co.uk/2017/12/04/check-out-the-new-co-op-beds-website-and-get-a-20-discount/

it’s so hard to get organic, fairtrade 4-trans-pentyl-cyclohexyl these days…
Is water really a Volatile Organic Compound?
