Choosing Medley Furniture
Why choose Medley furniture?
We’re a small, family-run team on a mission to make living more comfortable with furniture that’s better for our planet and our homes. Our builders bring each piece to life by hand with special expertise in the USA, accentuating the incredible quality of our materials through their artistry. Sourcing from sustainable textile mills, ethically-managed forests, and eco-certified partners, we choose every material for its durability and beauty. We’d say we're pretty different from most furniture companies for all these reasons. You can find more about our materials here, and for more about Medley, go here.
Will my furniture from Medley last?
Quality is a top priority for us. Our talented production team brings every Medley piece to life by hand with special expertise and top-notch materials. We’re confident that our furniture will last a lifetime (and then some), and to back this up, we offer a lifetime warranty on our alder hardwood frames. You can read more about our commitment to quality here.
How do I know if my furniture will be comfortable?
We pair premium materials, thoughtful design, and expert craftsmanship to guarantee exceptional comfort and support for all our pieces. Our durable, solid hardwood frames offer a sturdy base for cushions filled with comfy, CertiPUR-US®️ certified high-resilience poly foam, certified organic plant-based latex foam, and / or comfy down filling for extra softness and squish. We’ve been exploring materials and construction for the last 18 years and care deeply about your Medley piece making you happy.
Do you have a store? Where can I see Medley furniture?
We are online-only, and we offer an in-home trial for all of our products to make sure you love what you buy.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We're confident your furniture will last as long as you need it to, but just in case, we offer a lifetime warranty on our frames, a 20-year warranty on mattresses, a 10-year warranty on filling, and a 5-year warranty on fabric upholstery. Lifetime guarantees apply to the original owner. Visit our warranty page for more detail.
30-Day Trial and Returns
What is your return policy?
We have an in-home trial for all of our products to make sure you love what you buy. If you’re not satisfied, let us know within 30 days after you receive your order by emailing returns@medleyhome.com—we'll then coordinate a pick up, ship the product back and, once it's received by us in good condition, issue you a refund minus the original shipping cost you paid on the order. Easy breezy. If the reason for the return can be addressed via an alternate solution, we may offer a more eco-friendly fix —but if you're not satisfied, we'll gladly process the return for a refund.
Do you accept returns on clearance items?
Any furniture ordered with a non-stocked fabric is subject to a 20% restocking fee if cancelled, changed or returned. We are unable to accept returns for orders with customer's own material (C.O.M.) after 7 days from your order date.

Do you accept returns on mattresses?
Due to legal limitations, we do not allow returns for bed mattresses. Sofa beds that have mattresses may be returned.
Do you accept returns for international orders or orders to non-contiguous US states?
We ship all over the world, but purchases outside the continental United States cannot be returned. Purchases for Hawaii and Alaska can be returned, but customer pays return costs.
My furniture can't be delivered because it won't fit through my door. Can it be returned?
Please measure and make sure your item will fit into your space ahead of time. We recommend using tape to mark out your space for length, width, and height before placing your order. It can be a little tricky for large pieces and awkward corners, but it’s always worth it to plan ahead. If you’re unsure about the piece fitting through a doorway or stairwell, you can email us at orders@medleyhome.com and we’ll help you take measurements. We charge a 20% restocking fee to exchange or return any item that is unable to be delivered due to sizing/fit issues.
Are delivery fees refundable for returned items?
Delivery fees are not refundable on any order that has shipped and is then cancelled or returned.

Shipping and Delivery
What are your lead times?
At Medley, each piece is made by hand with care and precision and ships directly to you from the US based manufacturing facility. You can view an item's expected delivery date on each product page. Some modifications or a choice of leather will typically add 1-2 weeks in production time. Our mattresses take 2 weeks to manufacture, plus shipping.
After you place your order, you’ll receive an email with an estimated ship date. Shipping delays are subject to carrier lead times outside our control. If for some reason an issue arises that will cause a longer lead time, we will be sure to alert you right away. Deliveries to zones that are outside of metropolitan areas may result in additional shipping time.
If you have a specific timeline in mind, please email sales@medleyhome.com to make sure we can meet your target date.
When will my order ship?
You can track your order on this page for the most current timing, or you can email us at orders@medleyhome.com and we'll be in touch within 48 hours to provide an update. Keep in mind, the estimated shipping date assigned to your order is the expected week manufacturing will be completed and shipped from our warehouse. If paying by ACH or check, items will be prepared to ship once full payment is received.
How do I track my order?
You can track your order on this page. Once your order is placed, your order will be placed into our queue. Updates will be provided via email and by checking this link.
Do you ship to Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, or other countries?
We ship to every state in the US and Canada frequently, and can arrange to ship to almost anywhere else in the world. For Canada, Hawaii, Alaska or other countries, note that the standard is not White Glove service and the furniture will be dropped off fully packaged inside your front door. If you live in a building, this means it will be left in the lobby. If you require more of a full service, please contact us to see if it's possible in your location.
To see shipping costs, you can add product to your cart and enter your zip code. If your location isn't available, please email us at sales@medleyhome.com. If you have any questions about timing, service, or destinations, we can look into these options for you.
Is your business still affected by the pandemic?
We continue to monitor and respond to Covid’s challenges and prioritize employee safety. This includes following recommended precautions and best practices per CDC guidelines. We’re still making furniture by hand with care and precision like the before times, but the pandemic continues to have constraints on the entire furniture industry and the supply chain is slower than normal. While we offer white glove delivery service as a default, you can request the delivery carrier to leave your furniture outside your place or just inside the front door—whatever you’re most comfortable with.
What if I have multiple items on the same order with different lead times?
If you have more than one item in the same order, we will ship them all at the latest lead time by default. If you would like us to ship the items separately based on their individual lead times, please let us know at the time of purchase. We can arrange to split ship your order for a charge of $150 (per shipment) for any additional White Glove delivery.
My order has shipped. How can I get help with my delivery?
As soon as your order is scheduled for shipment, our Medley team will send you the shipping carrier's tracking details for your reference. Once your shipment arrives in your local region, the last-mile carrier will contact you to schedule the day and time of delivery. You can reach out to the delivery company directly, or you can email Medley at shipping@medleyhome.com. Please allow 48 hours for our team to reply.
How do I schedule my delivery?
Medley uses specialized freight carriers because items ship mostly assembled. You’ll be called ahead of time to schedule the day and time of your delivery. The carrier will reach out directly to find a time that works best for you.
What are your delivery service options?
Larger Medley furniture ships assembled through long-haul and local delivery teams and cannot be delivered by common carriers such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx. We offer white glove delivery through freight carriers to make sure you have the best experience possible. The carrier will place your product into any room and remove the packaging. This does not include assembly. If you are more comfortable with the delivery crew leaving the furniture outside your place or just inside the front door, you can specify this with them.
What is white glove delivery? Is it required?
White glove delivery is included and required on all orders (excluding ottomans, poufs and throw pillows) and is the only shipping option available at checkout.
White glove delivery means the carrier company will place your delivery into any room and remove the packaging. It does not include assembly.
If you are more comfortable with the delivery crew leaving the furniture outside your place or just inside the front door, you can specify this with them when you are scheduling your delivery.
Should I inspect my order once it arrives?
Yes, we ask that you carefully check out your furniture once it arrives. In-transit damage is no fun, but unfortunately happens from time to time. Inspecting your furniture and promptly reporting it to Medley allows us to follow up with our shipping partners and fix any issues. Please follow the instructions below to submit record of damage within 24 hours of delivery. Note that Medley can not be held responsible for any shipping damage that is not notated at the time of delivery.
For white glove deliveries:
After your furniture has been unwrapped and placed in your home, take time to check for any damage that may have occurred in transit. If you find any issues, document them on the shipping company's signed delivery sheet, then take clear pictures of the damage and send them to orders@medleyhome.com within 24 hours of delivery. Please include your order number and any other pertinent information.
For standard shipments via Fedex/UPS/USPS:
Please inspect your shipment before unpacking in order to identify any damage to packaging. If you see damage, please take a picture of the box before unwrapping. Proceed to unwrap and take pictures of the product and any damage. Please send pictures to orders@Medleyhome.com with your order number and any other pertinent information within 24 hours of delivery.

Shipments to locations in our standard delivery zone will be charged an additional $175. Additional charges may occur for shipments to outside zones, or for deliveries with special requirements.
What do I do if my furniture doesn't fit through a doorway or in my space?
Please measure and make sure your item will fit into your space ahead of time. We recommend using tape to mark out your space for length, width, and height before placing your order. It can be a little tricky for large pieces and awkward corners, but it’s always worth it to plan ahead.

If an item doesn’t fit into your space, we charge a 20% restocking fee to exchange or return any item that is unable to be delivered due to sizing/fit issues.
Does your furniture require assembly upon delivery?
Beds and dining tables can require simple assembly. Our sofas do not require assembly unless the legs are 7" or longer. These may be shipped separately, and are easily screwed into the bottom of the sofa or sectional. We can also provide assembly instructions ahead of time for additional preparation if requested.
Materials and Construction
Where is your furniture made?
Our furniture is built in North Carolina, and our mattresses are made in Illinois.
Tell me more about your materials.
Do your products carry any eco certifications?
Yes. Our materials are certified by Global Organic Latex Standard, GreenGuard Gold, OEKO-TEX® 100, CertiPUR-US®, and Forest Stewardship Council. You can find more information about each organization on our certifications page.
Learn more about the materials we use on our materials and fabrics pages or email us with any specific questions. We consider transparency important and want to let you know exactly what is going into your home.
Is off-gassing a concern for Medley upholstered furniture and other products?
Off-gassing is the airborne release of a chemical into vapor form. Off-gassing occurs when manufactured items release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals into the air we breathe. Many companies will tell you that everything off-gasses, but some fumes are more harmful than others. Our plant-based latex foam and wool are considered to be non-off-gassing, but depending on several factors can have a distinct smell for sensitive people that dissipates over a short amount of time. While our standard poly foam is made from polyurethane, it is made without chemicals like fire retardants and formaldehydes. So while it's not a 100% natural material like the plant-based latex foam we offer, it's the healthiest version of poly foam available on the market. This is considered low-VOC (less than .5 parts per million), and technically it does have off-gassing. Importantly, almost all of the off-gassing occurs between right after the materials are produced and a couple of months afterwards, well before they are in your home. Because wood is a natural product, our woods do not off-gas. The finishes we use are low-VOC waxes and stains.
Why do you offer polyurethane foam? Is it eco?
All synthetic foams are not created equal. Optimally we would only carry our plant-based latex, but because the material is expensive and more labor-intensive to build, we offer CertiPUR-US®-certified polyurethane foam. It is the cleanest synthetic choice on the market and better than other available polyurethane foams because the material consistently meets updated emissions and durability standards. This material provides a medium-sit and holds it shape for years and years to come, providing comfort and durability.
What if I'm allergic to latex?
A latex allergy is most often caused by the sap proteins in rubber trees. The most common latex allergy is from skin contact with gloves or other latex products. Since our plant-based latex is wrapped in wool, cotton, and then fabric, there won't be any direct skin contact. Some people have an allergic reaction to natural latex by breathing in latex particles, but this is very rare. If you are allergic to latex through a skin allergy, you should be safe to order this product, but you may order a latex sample to test. If you have a respiratory latex allergy, we recommend you opt for the CertiPUR-US®-Certified poly foam option.
Why don't you list anything about Prop 65?
We hired an eco materials specialist to do a comprehensive review and analysis of all the materials used in our furniture. We checked with the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and based on our materials and construction practices, we have no knowledge of hazards or intentional exposures.
Customization and Samples
Can I order samples?
Yes! You can order fabric and leather samples here for all of our products. For wood or filling samples, please contact us directly by emailing us at samples@medleyhome.com and we'll send some your way. It's always free.
Do you offer design help?
We do, and for free! Click here to get in touch with one of our furniture stylists.
How does your fabric 'Decide Later' option work?
Once orders are placed, they go into our queue to be made. If you'd like to get your order started but need a little more time to confirm your fabric, you can select our ‘Decide Later’ option and check out. We will then start coordinating the materials for your order and prepping the frame. If you select your fabric within 6 weeks of placing your order, we'll be able to ship within the lead time stated in your cart (pending no delays). If you select your fabric after 6 weeks of placing your order, please contact us to receive an updated lead time.
Do you offer C.O.M. (Customer's Own Material)?
You can provide your own fabric for any of our upholstered furniture pieces. We’ve provided a tool for you to price out this option on our product pages by selecting the "C.O.M." fabric option when customizing your furniture. This will also provide you with information on how many yards of fabric you’ll need to provide for our team.
Do you offer reupholstery or slipcovers?
We do not offer a reupholstery service, but do encourage you to find a local upholsterer if you would like to extend the life of your furniture piece (we think that’s really cool!) We don't offer slipcovers for our upholstered goods, but most of our cushions have a zipper and are removable. Some can be washed according to fabric guidelines and laid flat to dry. We can also typically accommodate requests for things like arm covers.
How custom can I get?
We offer the ability to select from a variety of sizes, 100+ fabrics and leathers, fillings, leg styles, and finish options. For additional customization, please reach out to our design team at hello@medlyhome.com. We don't typically offer fully custom pieces, but if you have an idea in mind, please send it our way and we'll see if it's something we can do for you.
Payment and Trade Discounts
Can I spread my order total out into monthly payments?
Yes! Our partnership with Affirm offers monthly payment plans available from 6 to 18 months, and 0% interest for those that qualify. You can click here to learn more.
Can I pay by check or ACH?
Yes! You can select this option at the Checkout. Please reach out regarding any needed details for either type of payment type.
Do you offer a trade discount?
We love working with designers, architects, project managers, and anyone else in the trade. We offer exclusive savings on all Medley orders, and if the order is larger in volume we can extend an additional discount.
