  I had an issue with a mattress where it depressed in only one area of the mattress. I pursued a warranty claim and upon first inspection it was denied because it was 1 1/4 inch depressed but the threshold was 1 1/2. It is obvious that uneven wear would cause issues with pain and sleep but the salesman said that we should try sleeping on it for a few more months until we could reapply the warranty claim again. When we did the new warranty claim now they said it was normal wear! How was it almost there months ago and now it is normal wear? Ive been having back problems and I spent over $3k on this mattress. This whole warranty process seems like a scam to me

  ******* owes us a final refund of $109.38 that has still not been posted.We purchased an Adjustable base and a tempur-pedic mattress from the ************* store on 3/23/2024 and we went back to the ************* location and told the manager that we wanted to take ******* up on the return policy and exchange the mattress for the Avocado Green Hybrid. $4493.29 for the original mattress temper-pedic $2633.11 for the Avocado Green Hybrid mattress For a refund due of $1860.68. This is the original number that ******* (the store manager) quoted us. Last Tuesday, July 23rd, ******* exchanged the temper-pedic for the Avocado mattress. We waited for the refund to show up on our credit card. After one week since the exchange and no refund. I called ******* and asked wheres the refund. The following two things were revealed to us by *******:1.We asked why a refund had not been issued to our credit card. ******* said that she was waiting for us to call and request the refund. What kind of customer service is this? She scheduled the exchange, but not the refund? This is incredible.2.The amount of the refund, which she miraculously was able to calculate today, is $1751.30. Once again when asked how that amount was calculated, she said she had been through that with us. We believe we are owed $109.38 plus one week interest. The difference between $1860.68 and $1751.30 plus interest for not promptly refunding.We also believe we are owed an apology from ******* and ******* for the lack of competency in dealing with this transaction.We then contacted on July 30th ***** ****** District Manager - South ************ He confirmed this amount and told us he would see to the refund.We followed up again on Aug 10, and Aug 21nd and again on Sept 5th with no refund.

  ********* Sleep World, bought a new $6000.00 Mattress and frame from them and our frame makes squeaky noises and our mattress lying on both sides of the bed feels like your going downhill to the floor. We have had them out twice now and in the last report says we did not buy the frame with them. I am tired of messing with these people and company because you can not get someone who cares about how we feel about the situation. I paid good money for this bed and once they have your money, they are done with you. They sent the same man out here twice to check the bed and of course he made the same report but this time added we bought the frame from someone else. I want help and I am the customer!

  We bought an Heirloom brand mattress that was way too soft. So we went to exchange it a few weeks later since they allowed 120 day guarantee. Our salesman told us that you only get to return or exchange one time. So I told him that since we are unsure about what mattress will be right for us, that maybe I will just return it then, and go buy from Tempurpedic direct so I can get their 90 day trial. So he then said nevermind, since I am buying a Tempurpedic now, I will get another 90 day trial.Well a couple months later this mattress is not right for us and we went to exchange it and were told by the store manager that the 90 day rule does not apply.We tried discussing further but were quickly accused of being dishonest and the store manager would hardly even talk to us about it. We were told that their region manager would call us to discuss; but he never called and doesnt return my calls.At one point I was talking with the store manager and I was concerned that we needed to resolve this before the 90 days was up, and he confidently said that doesnt matter since they dont do the 90 day trial on Tempurpedic. Then once the 90 days past, he used that as a partial excuse, saying that sometimes they can do that but we are past that now; even though my discussions started before the time period was up.

  I paid over $6000 for this bed. I am extremely handicapped and within one and a half years I lost the remote to the part of the bed that helps raise the head and feet up! I paid over $80 for a new replacement remote! That didnt work so they sent over two men that dont even speak my language( English) to try to fix it, they were unable to do so, so then I was told they want another $1700 just to fix it! I am by no way, **** and money! I live off of my Social Security! My dad who just passed away bought me this bed! And then, when the two men that came over to try to fix it, they didnt move the bed back so my wheelchair could fit in so I could get into bed! I do not recommend this company at all! I am going to be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau! People be very very careful when going through this company! I am one very very very angry, 70-year-old woman

  In September I purchased a mattress, upon delivery I noticed a strong odor. After 24hours of mattress in the home, I was becoming increasingly ill from the toxic fumes emitting from mattress. Company removed mattress after 3 days, and subsequently charged me ****** for restock/ delivery charges. The product was clearly defective, possibly over sprayed with fire ******ant. I should have been refunded the total amount I spent for this toxic mattress.

  The following is the letter I wrote to ************************* on 9/28/2023 but did nor receive any reply.I have purchased a "********* brand" queen size mattress for my 8 year old son back in November of 2021 (he was 6 years old then). I explained to the sales person that I wanted to protect this bed if and when my son peed. They assured me of the "Protect-A-Bed" mattress protector. I bought three or four of them so I had plenty of spares. Back in March of this year, I reported to the store that my son's mattress is stained with pee and I was told to contact the "Protect-A-Bed" to resolve the issue because it looked like the protector was not doing it's job. I then contacted the customer service at "Protect-A-Bed" and after going back and forth via email and sending them pictures and the way I launder the protector, I guess "Protect-A-Bed" concluded that the customers are supposed to look for defects and they said the protector was damaged. They agreed to replace it and they sent me a new one nut they did not want to do anything else for the stained bed. I never bothered to make a big deal out of this stained mattress and accepted the fact although it is difficult for me to accept the result/outcome they gave me because I followed all the procedures outlined.So when I received the replacement unit from "Protect-A-Bed" in March/April time frame this year, I used it right away but the problem came back and it leaked again and stained the mattress even more. I told the store that they have misrepresented the product and misled me with the purchase because I did not expect the protector which is supposed to protect, did not do it's job I told them that they have misrepresented the product they sold me and that a reasonable solution is to replace the stained mattress at no cost to me. They came back that I should pay $380 if I wanted a new mattress. I feel that I was misled with the product they sold me and that ******* misrepresented the entire leak protection.

  Good afternoon,

  We are sorry to hear that your experioence with Mancini's Sleepworld has been less than stellar. Please email ***************************** with your complaint and a District Manager will contact you.

  Complaint: 20704795
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I have already tried to have the district manager call me several times and they have failed to reach me. I even scheduled a day at a specific time, but I did not receive a call. If the district manager can call me, that would be great. There is no need to send email to ***************************** as they already have my contact information. Please have ***** or another district manage call me or be specific with the time and day. The problem with the district manager is that they always call from different phone numbers and when O try to return their call, they are not there at that number. I leave a message and they never call back. That has been the problem ever since I have reported this problem.
  
  Sincerely,

  We ordered a king ******** from Mancini's Sleepworld in ********** We didn't buy a ******** at the time because our baby coslept with us and we used the ******** on the floor. Time passed, our daughter got older, so we ordered a king ******** from them. When they delivered the ****** the matress was not a good fit. The delivery guys swore to me that we didn't have a king ********* we had a cal king ******** and so they left with the frame. I called the store where we originally purchased the ******** and they confirmed that we indeed had a king ********* They sent the delivery guys back with the king ****** which was still a very ill fit. We decided we needed to purchase a higher quality king *** frame from a different company and when we did, they confirmed that we indeed have a cal king ********* not a king ******** like ****** keeps insisting. Our ******** is also missing the law tag. I suspect we were delivered a used *** in the wrong size, however, Corporate refuses to take responsibility.

  On 8/21/22 I purchased an AIRELOOM BAY PREFERRED COLLECTION AMARGOSA STREAMLINE LUXURY FIRM EASTERN KING ******** from Mancini's Sleepworld in ********** ********** for a total price of $5359.58 from salesperson ***********************. I expressed my needs for a firm and supportive mattress - he assured me this mattress with its Latex topping would remain the same firmness it felt in the store. He assured me that I could exchange the mattress at a pro-rated price even after the initial trial period (which was a set fee for refund or exchange). *********************** is no longer an employee of the store.After about 7 months the latex topping began to soften dramatically. The bed now sinks terribly, to the point my partner has to grab the edge of the bed to pull herself out of the bed if we are both on it. I am a fit 6'0" male at 195lb and she is a petite female at 5'4" 135lb. I enquired to Sleepworld with no reply, not knowing **** is no longer an employee. Eventually my complaints made it through to *****************************, who assured me of the 10 year warranty - and set up an inspection.During the inspection, the inspector from ************************ commented that he saw the way the sides of the bed were deformed and there was definitely an issue - however, Heirloom declined any warranty claim saying it was within normal parameters.The bed is continuing to degrade, it is creating pain, discomfort, and sleeplessness. For a $5000+ product I am in awe that this is not being addressed by the dealer or manufacturer.

  Good afternoon,

  I am sorry to read about your experience. I was able to look at your inspection report. It seems the frame has center legs that are leaning. This is creating a support issue. Once this is corrected and after 90 ays from the original inspection, you can request a second opnion inspection. Manufactures are pretty strict when it comes to their warranty. The also will not replace any mattress is there isn't proof of sufficient support. At this time, the is the most recommended advice for your situation. Thank you

Repeated calls to ******, ********* manager, from May to July went unanswered. On July 22, we visited the store, and ****** consented to a refund. He planned a mattress pick-up on July 24, after which he would initiate the refund. However, our July 24 pickup was rescheduled and July 26th pickup canceled - both without our consent. On July 26 after rescheduling, the drivers wrapped and removed the mattress from our house. As they were leaving we mentioned it was a Nectar trial, the drivers looked at each other, put the mattress on the driveway and suddenly found a stain no human could see with their naked eye.

  Good  morning,

  Thank you forreaching out to address your concern. I am sorry to read that your experience with Mancini's Sleepworld has been less than stellar. I have reached out to the District Manager listed on the report. Pending his follow up and details. In the interim, I have included a copy of our terms and conditions. If indeed the mattress is stained, the warranty would be voided. But before we go down that road, I ask you allow us time to communicate with the manufacturer and see if there is anything else we can do for you.

  We truly appreciate such a timely response! Thank you.

  We're ok with ********* reaching out to Nectar but we are rejecting this response because: ********* provided terms and conditions for standard mattress return which is not applicable to this particular dispute 

  Please provide details  for the Nectar Bed 365 "Risk  Free" Sleep Trial as promoted  on your product page. We note there is  no asterisk, exclusions or other "fine print"  regarding mattress condition for the 365 Risk Free Sleep Trial  as ********* did for other issues on this product page.

  We did not see it printed on our receipt either. ****** at the ********* store also never provided this information when he scheduled our pickup on July 20.

  We also dispute the "light stain" found by the same driver who told us that they get into trouble if they returned to the warehouse with a Nectar mattress. We wonder if it wasn't an imaginary stain, if our mattress would be rejected for another reason. 

  ********* sales rep (and website) used a marketing promotion to gain our business and trust when we were uncertain about a Nectar purchase.  Unfortunately, multiple sclerosis has not made the Nectar a good fit. 

  We have been making a good faith effort to resolve this issue with ********* since May 2023.  We *************************** will do the same and process our return (receipt provided in earlier attachment). 

  Sincerely,
