How it really works
Some mattresses are eligible for a 19% tax deduction as a medical expense.
This means that a portion of what you spend will be reimbursed to you as an IRPEF refund in your tax return.
Simple example: if you buy a €1,000 mattress, you can recover up to €190 net of VAT.
Who can claim the deduction
All individuals who file a tax return (730 or Modello Redditi) and purchase a mattress certified as:
- Class 1 Medical Device
You do not need a recognized disability or a medical prescription.
Which mattresses are deductible
Only models that clearly state "Class 1 Medical Device" in the product sheet are deductible.
On our product pages, you will always find this information prominently displayed when applicable.
What you need to obtain the deduction
- Invoice or purchase receipt made out to the person requesting the deduction
- Invoice stating:
"Class 1 Medical Device" - Traceable payment (card, bank transfer, PayPal, etc.)
No medical prescription is required.
How to recover the 19%
The amount is entered as a medical expense in your tax return.
The refund is provided as:
- a credit on your payslip
