Our verdict on each
COLAMY
COLAMY sells direct from an entity registered in Germany, with chairs from €199.99, free delivery and a 3 year warranty. It suits buyers who know the chair they want, would rather order online than visit a showroom, and want a home office set up quickly.
Relax the Back
Relax the Back is a US furniture brand whose 10 year mattress warranty and free delivery suit buyers replacing a bed and other pieces in one order. Queen prices sit mid-table, so the pitch is cover and range rather than the lowest entry cost, and shoppers wanting a longer trial should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
COLAMY
Pros
- Priced from €199.99 with free delivery and a €0 threshold, so a single chair costs the same as a second one
- Delivery time of 0 weeks, which ranks 1 of 50 brands on speed
- 3 year warranty, level with the office chair category median of 3 years
Cons
- Assembly included is a no, so you put the chair together yourself and the €199.99 entry price covers the chair alone
- The range is office chairs, dining and armchairs, so anyone wanting a sofa or a bed looks at Dublino Moebel instead
- Warranty of 3 years is shorter than the longest terms in the office chair category
Relax the Back
Pros
- A 10 year warranty on the mattress, a long cover term for a product that has to hold its shape.
- Free delivery is included, and the World LM office chair lists 0 weeks for delivery.
- An in-home trial of 90 days lets a foam mattress be slept on properly before a decision.
Cons
- Assembly included is listed as no, so beds, chairs and desks arrive without a build service and the setup is left to the buyer.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a delivery or warranty question has to go in writing.
- The 30 night mattress trial is short against the 60 night typical here.
Who each suits
COLAMY
Who it suits
- Home office buyers who know the chair type they want and would rather order online
- Anyone fitting out a study or spare room who values free delivery over a showroom visit
- Buyers in the markets COLAMY ships to who want a supplier based in Germany
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want assembly built in, since assembly included is a no at COLAMY
- Bedding or sofa shoppers, who will find beds, bed frames and armchairs at CuddleCo
- People who want to try a chair at home first, since the in home trial period is 0 days
Relax the Back
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want one maker for the bedroom and the desk, since armchairs, beds and bed frames all sit under the same name.
- Sleepers on a foam or hybrid build who want a choice of feel, offered here as soft, medium and firm.
- Anyone who wants to live with a mattress for a full stretch of nights, with 90 days of in-home trial before deciding.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after a hybrid only range: blackroll-bnl covers hybrid and nothing beyond it.
- Buyers whose budget stops at the mattress, since Nectar covers memory foam and hybrid while this brand also carries armchairs, beds and bed frames.

Questions about each
COLAMY
How much does a COLAMY chair cost?+
Prices start at €199.99 for the range covering office chairs, dining and armchairs. Free delivery is included and the free delivery threshold is €0, so the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. There are no delivery fees and no minimum order value.
Is there a membership or a plan I have to renew?+
COLAMY sells individual pieces rather than subscriptions, so there is no introductory price that later turns into a renewal charge. You pay at the point of order, and the 3 year warranty runs alongside the piece rather than being tied to a plan.
Relax the Back
How much does a Relax the Back queen mattress cost?+
The Tempur Luxebreeze hybrid queen is $5,899. That price already carries a 10 year warranty and free delivery, so nothing extra is added for shipping. The rest of the furniture range opens lower, with the World LM office chair at $545.
How long is the mattress trial, and can I sleep on it at home?+
The in-home trial runs 90 days, so a mattress can be slept on properly before a decision is made. Returns on the wider range run 30 days, and the mattress trial itself is listed at 30 nights. Longer nights at home make a difference on a foam build.
