Sleepy's

Review: Sleepy's is failing to honor their warrantee on a defective mattress. This mattress is DEFECTIVE and they are trying to get out of replacing it because of claim that there is a 1/4 inch scuff on the side of the mattress. They have provided no proof or evidence of this scuff and are refusing to honor the 10 year warranty. Please note, the website claims the mattress must not have any stains and this mattress doesn't have any stains as evidenced by the fact that we purchased the required stain protector cover and have always had the mattress in this cover. The warranty language does not say anything about minor scuffs. The customer service representative is [redacted] at ###-###-####, who refused to provide any evidence of this supposed stain.Desired Settlement: We want our mattress replaced under the terms of the warranty.

Response:

Case #: [redacted]On November **, 2014, the [redacted]’s contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress purchased in January 2012 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. The inspection revealed that although the merchandise did meet the manufacturer’s standards, however there were apparent stains, thus voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Pursuant to the terms of the warranty, the [redacted]’s warranty claim was denied. At the time of delivery, the [redacted]’s received a copy of the manufacturer’s warranty, which clearly states conditions that void the warranty to include: “product that is stained, soiled, or found to be in an unsanitary condition” I have enclosed a copy of the warranty for your files. While we do anticipate normal wear and tear of the merchandise it is the consumer’s responsibility to maintain the merchandise in a sanitary condition. During the initial sale the consumer purchased a mattress protector which bears its own warranty; if the consumer experienced mattress protector failure the consumer was to reach out to [redacted] at [redacted] to report the stain in the time frame [redacted] allots. Contrary to the manufacturer’s warranty and Sleepy’s well-established policies, in spite of the visually stained product and the manufacturer’s guidelines in an effort to assist the consumer we can offer accommodating pricing; this is a deep discount that can be applied towards new selection of bedding. As the cost of transportation is required, as an additional accommodation Sleepy’s is willing to absorb half of the [redacted]’s transportation cost in the amount of $49.00. Once replacement merchandise has been selected, an immediate delivery will be scheduled. Since we have attempted to resolve the [redacted]’s complaint we believe that no further responses are required. If you require any additional information or if I can be of further assistance please contact me [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Review: Purchased a Koolgel Hybrid mattress set in September and had it delivered several weeks later (our home was being repaired from a recent flood). within about 4 - 6 weeks of sleeping on the bed the mattress developed a bulge at the foot of the mattress. Went to local store ( [redacted]) with photo of the mattress and was told to contact Corp. customer service. Called and CS sent a package in the mail for the mattress review a week later. Returned their form and photos of mattress and box springs as requested by email on 11/**/14. called for status 11/ ** or ** and was told I would hear from someone on [redacted] 12/** They emailed me that they were missing pictures, which I sent again to them. Called on 12/*/14 asking for status. Was told that my claim had been denied due to improper bed frame support. At no time were we told we need Special bed frame and support for their mattress. The frame being used is the same one used for the past 15 years with no issues. (claims we need a center support for a queen mattress), This is the 2nd queen mattress I have purchased in the last 20 years and NEVER heard that a center leg support was needed. The sales person at the store was very much aware that we were replacing an old mattress that had become damaged due repairs being made to our home after a flood, and no mention of the frame support we had nor what would be needed to honor the warranty.

Bottom line they claim the manufacture will not honor their warranty due to the lack of the center support. The mattress is separating, in 4 - 6 weeks of sleeping on it. There are 3 layers to the mattress, bottom - springs, middle - memory form, top cooling gel. the memory form in the middle is coming out at the foot of the mattress. The separating of the layers has nothing to do with the bed frame.

Sleepy's stand is they do not offer warranties. but neither do most department stores, The warranty is issued by the manufacture, but any .respectable retail establishment will honor the products they sell. I do not find this to be true of this company. A $1,000. mattress should not come apart after month of normal use.Desired Settlement: We would like to have this mattress replaced or full refund and removal of this set.

Case#: [redacted]On November *, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress purchased in September 2014 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, Sleepy’s provided [redacted] with an in-home inspection kit that will assist her with the validation of her warranty claim. Utilizing the photos and measurements supplied by the consumer it revealed the consumers merchandise was in fact up to the manufacturer standards, however; the mattress was being used on a frame with improper support, which is a condition that voids the manufacturer’s warranty. Therefore, pursuant to the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty, we denied [redacted]’s request to replace the merchandise. At the time of delivery, [redacted] received a copy of the manufacturer’s warranty, which clearly states, “Structural damage due to using an improper bed frame or support system or mattress damage due to an inappropriate foundation or support system.” As an accommodation to [redacted], Sleepy’s is offering an employee discount on a new mattress (excluding Tempur-Pedic, Sealy Cool Sense, Serta I Series, and Serta Cool Elegance). [redacted] may take advantage of this offer in conjunction with employee pricing which reflects a deep discount on the newly selected bedding set of their choice we will provide [redacted]’s with a complimentary frame mimicking the support the manufacture is seeking for their merchandise. Applicable delivery fee will apply. [redacted] may contact me at the contact information provided below to assist with the processing of the accommodation.

[Your Answer Here]

The reason we contacted Sleepy's regarding the mattress, was NOT about a sagging mattress, but because the gel was protruding out the front. A photo of the foot of the mattress was sent to Sleepy's along with all the other photos they requested. A copy is attached. Why would an unsatisfied customer ever consider spending more money with Sleepy's to replace a defective mattress? We have no intentions of doing so.Why were we not informed by the installers of any inappropriate support?? Even if they are contracted workers, THEY REPRESENT YOUR FIRM and should have noted the "so-called" problem (which again WAS NOT the basis for our problem anyway)After reading all of the online complaints, it seems Sleepy's spends more energy on finding ways of voiding warranties and trying to get the consumer to spend MORE money, instead of truely making their customers 100% satisfied.

In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Response:

Case#: [redacted]Sleepy’s is in receipt of [redacted]’s rebuttal. We are aware and apologetic of the consumer’s dissatisfaction with the inspectors documented observations. [redacted]’s additional concern of the alleged gel shifting has been brought to the attention of the manufacturer. If the manufacturer opts to extend a courtesy and offer an exchange based on [redacted]’s concern we will reach out to advise the consumer of this accommodation. In the interim the offer of accommodating pricing will remain available for the next thirty (30) days. Since we have reviewed the consumer’s complaint and rebuttal we believe no additional responses are required at this time.

Review: Purchased in 2009 the mattress exhibits sagging to the point of discomfort, mattress has 10 yr warranty. Company sent a contracted inspector who took measurements at the center of the mattress and did not measure the mattress in the areas where it is actually used, in the sleeping positions. We feel this is an inaccurate assessment which the company used to deny any resolution to the mattress failure.Desired Settlement: We would expect to receive a pro-rated refund, by check, as a fair resolution. With the lack of responsibility the company has taken in a product for which we made a substantial investment it is very unlikely that we would consider further patronage of this company.

Case #: [redacted]

Sleepy’s is in receipt of your inquiry regarding [redacted] and [redacted].

On August **, 2014, the [redacted]’s contacted our Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress delivered to him in October 2009 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. The third-party independent inspection company delivered measurements that revealed that the mattress met the manufacturer’s standards and therefore was ineligible for warranty replacement. Pursuant to the terms of the warranty, Sleepy’s denied the [redacted]’s request for a warranty exchange.

Even though the inspection determined that the mattress was non-defective, in an effort to assist the consumer. Sleepy’s is nonetheless offering the consumer an employee discount towards a new bedding selection. This deep discount will allow the consumer to purchase the mattress of their choice at a deeply discounted price, applicable delivery fees will apply. The [redacted]’s may contact me directly at the number listed below to take advantage of this accommodation.

Since we have reviewed the consumer’s complaint, we believe that no further responses are required at this time. If you have any further questions please contact me [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Regarding this complaint for Sleepy’s, we have left messages for a [redacted] (**?) on 10.**, **.** and again today, 11.** in an attempt to respond to his call to our voice mail on 10.**.14. We have yet to hear back from [redacted] on this matter. Each time we call we get the information that this is his day off and he should return (insert next day here). [redacted] would seem to have a good firewall in his associates.

I note with some interest the proposed resolution by Sleepy’s on your website communications. I also note that you have prematurely closed this case. We ask that this case be returned to active status for two reasons. First, we have had NO return contact with Sleepy’s or their representatives to discuss any resolution proposal. Secondly, if the proposal indicated on your web site is to be the intended resolution by Sleepy’s, we find that offer unacceptable insofar as our rigid decision to have no further patronage of this company.

We look forward to contact from you and Sleepy’s as soon as possible.

Response:

Case #: [redacted] Sleepy’s is in receipt of the 3rd rebuttal regarding [redacted] and [redacted]. As stated in our previous provided responses the offers will remain the same and unwavering as accommodating pricing or a second inspection in the new calendar year 2015.

Review: On May *, 2015 I purchased a mattress set and adjustable frame for this store. I was handed 2 pillows and a mattress pad free of charge. The salesman said he would give me a deal and deliver a mattress with a small scuff mark on it. On delivery the mattress was filthy with an indentation in the middle of it. I refused delivery. I then returned the 2 pillows and mattress pad to the store. I have two Witnesses to this fact. They refused to give me a receipt for this return. I left the pillows and mattress pad in the store. I am now being charged $249.00 by [redacted] for the pillows and mattress pad.Desired Settlement: I would like these excessive charge removed.

My wife and I purchased a mattress from Sleepy's when we found out about their Labor Day weekend deals. Unfortunately, the bed that we purchased did not work out and we wanted to return it. We made a phone call and they told us that we were within the 90 day time frame and that we would be getting a phone call within the next 48 hours to proceed with the return. We contacted Sleepy's in the next 48 hours and they told us that our return was denied because we went beyond the 90 days. When I contacted Sleepy's and spoke with a supervisor, I informed them what the Sleepy's representative told me over the phone and the supervisor told me that what I said does not match what the phone conversation documentation says of that phone call that was made over the weekend. I told the supervisor that I know what the representative told me, I made sure to check my understanding, and that my wife was a witness to that phone call. I don't appreciate the apparent implication that I was being dishonest and/or that I wanted to fabricate information/data to get something out of it. I was very unhappy with the customer service, the supervisor and they refused to work with us. They did not proceed with the return. My wife and I, in good conscience, cannot recommend Sleepy's to our friends and family. We will no longer do any business with Sleepy's because of this.

Review: $300 rebate on my receipt - was sent gift cards in exchange. This was not as promised. Went back to the store on Monday September **, 2013 was was told I would get a $300 refund to my credit card and still have not received. Sales Associate [redacted] will not call me back.Desired Settlement: $300 refunded to my credit card as promised upon purchase of the mattress and again when I went in on September **, 2013

Case #: [redacted]

Review: Please see below. I am an EXTREMELY agitated "customer" right now. I wasted an hour yesterday with an inexperienced sales person (the only one in the store), who LIED to us in order to close a sale. I asked him specific questions, and he answered them with what he knew I wanted to hear, rather than even attempt to get the correct answers. In addition, he e-signed a contract (not even my correct name!) that would have had be responsible for paying 65% interest after 90 days - doubling the cost of the mattress! This is not an acceptable way to do business! I'm lucky I opened my email and got this "agreement" and took the time to read through it before the mattress was delivered this morning. Looking at my paperwork, he put my wrong name down on this "agreement", and e-signed it that way himself!! Could you be any more deceitful?? I SPECIFICALLY asked him - "So the only fee for doing this is the $40 at sign-up? There are no additional finance charges? We're only financing the cost of the mattress? It should be paid off in 12 payments?" The guy basically just told me what I wanted to hear to make a sale. I had to refuse delivery, and am now stuck waiting a week for my down payment to be refunded. If I hadn't read the email before they put the mattress in my house, I would have been stuck responsible for this!I blame not only the Sales guy, but whoever is responsible for providing them the training to complete these transactions properly. It is my hope that you examine how this gentlemen was allowed to man a store by himself and close this deal based on such misinformation.Desired Settlement: Waiting for refund of $300 back to my bank account.

Case #: [redacted]

Review: I purchased queen size mattress and spring box back in 10/**/2011 for the amount of $1199.00 from Sleepys and less than two year time the mattress was found deemed, not up to manufacture stand red. I got letter from Sleepys stating that within 14 days get the exchange from the same store where I purchased the mattress so I got the replacement but had to pay delivery charges again and the taxes. It's been not even four months the replaced mattress got deemed, not up to the manufacture standards. I got the same letter from Sleepys which I got in Sep,2013 stating that I have a store credit for the amount of $799.99 plus tax. But I do want to deal with Sleepys and demanded my money money back but I was told that no money will be refunded back to me but only store credit.Please help me to get my money from them.Thanks in advance for your cooperation.Desired Settlement: Refund I can not deal with Sleepys the mattress professionals for the third time in only 2 years and 4 months time as far as purchase is concerned.Please get me the refund of $799.99 plus tax from Sleepys.Thankyou very much

Review: We Purchased a mattress set from Sleepys. We picked it up our selves for an additional 29.99 (cheaper than delivery). With in a month the mattress started to sag in the middle. Contacted Sleepys they sent a Mattress inspector out to check out the issue. We received a letter yesterday stating that our warranty inspections had our mattress deemed as "Not up to Manufacturer Standards". We are eligible for a replacement or an even exchange. If we wanted the replacement, there was paperwork to fill out and bring to our sleepys or if we wanted an even exchange to call ###-###-####. We decided to just get an even exchange so I called the number above and spoke to [redacted], she took all my info, I told her we wanted the even exchange and she said ok that will be 99.99. WHAT!!!!! I asked for what?? She said delivery and pickup of the old mattress. I told her that this is not my fault and I don't think we should have to pay that, and requested to speak to a supervisor. Her [redacted] came on and I told her, that I shouldn't have to pay for an even exchange, its not my fault. She said its not any fault, I said" yes it is". I have a SEALYS mattress that is defective. With much chatter going back and forth and me getting no where, I handed the phone to my husband, he said we should not have to pay, and that we will bring the mattress back to where we got it and just give us our new one, she told him NO they have to come and pick it up. He said fine, but we are not paying. As this continued, he just told her we are going to report them to the Revdex.com and she stated "FINE SIR". So here we are. This is an outrage!! I had to take time off of work to sit and wait for the mattress inspector who was very nice, but I had a 3 hour window for 2-5. This is time and money that I lost at work, for a crappy mattress and now they want me to have to take more time off and pay them???? I am disgusted and would never recommend them to anyone. I have tried to contact the manufacturer but they are only open Mon-Friday, so they will be hearing from me on Monday. I just want what is due to us with no penalty, because thats what it feels like, that we are being penalized. I feel that they owe me for 3 hours of my time. I want my new mattress.Desired Settlement: I want my even exchange please, with no charge.

Sincerely,

Review: On 1/**/14 we bought a new mattress for the first time in 20 years. Let me first say that I had no idea what this process has turned into and when it changed from simply selecting medium, firm, extra firm to a plethora of choices and claims that have made this a nightmare. With the help of our "mattress professional" in Sleepy's North Conway store, we selected a King'sDown brand floor sample based on the comfort and the fact that it had chilly wave, arctic cool gel something or other that I was led to believe would help me sleep cooler. I do not want to get into my medical issues, but I was very clear that I had read the memory foam can make you hot and I did not want that. I was assured that this would be cool and actually draw the heat away from my body. The delivery was screwed up and I never got the mattress until 2/*/14. They did waive the delivery fee.Long story short. The mattress is very hot. Sleepy's only offers a comfort return and the salesman told me that the $250 comfort return fee would not be charged since I have selected a less expensive mattress with less memory foam. He also was going to give me a bamboo mattress pad at no charge. However, this did not happen. He told us his [redacted] would not allow it even though he promised that he could do that. I now have to pay the $250 and the full retail price for the new mattress-far more than their sale price. I have contacted Sleepy's customer service and spoken to 3 different people. One said she would speak to management and get right back to me. She never did. That was 3 days ago and in spite of numerous promises that I would be getting a call back, it has never happen. I call every day. The "comfort guarantee " runs out on 2/**/14. Then I am stuck with a $1500 purchase that is going to be a total loss as I cannot sell a used mattress.Desired Settlement: Ideally I would like my money back. I would settle for taking the Serta with less memory foam so that I can hopefully layer it with a couple of mattress topper that are breathable. That alone will probably cost me about $400 as natural fibers are not cheap. The Serta mattress is far less expensive and according to their "comfort return" I have to take a mattress of equal value or put it toward a more expensive one. Those have more memory foam which would be hotter.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

I had thought that this complaint was resolved, but as yet, Sleepy's has not kept their end of the bargain. It was agreed that they would deliver a Serta I series mattress without charging me a delivery and comfort exchange fee. That did happen on March *. However, they also agreed to ship me a bamboo mattress topper which I believe sells for around $269 on their website. I have the bill of sale and an email saying it would be delivered around March **. Today is March [redacted] and I have yet to receive any shipping confirmation or tracking #. I realize that to be fair I should allow a couple of more days, but given what I experienced with this company, I am skeptical that they intend to follow through without further input from me. I feel that they are probably waiting for me to just give up on this. They still have $1382 of my money and all I have is a mattress that is of much less value than that. I would like the mattress topper no later than end of business on Monday, March ** which will require expedited shipping or would like all of my money back and they can then come pick up their mattress.

Review: I purchased a Simmons Lucetta Plus Pillow Top mattress, box spring and mattress cover from Sleepy's in January, 2013 for $1699.43. It has a 25 year warranty. In February, 2014 I began to experience backaches every morning after sleeping on the mattress. There was considerable pain and I went to a chiropractor for treatments several times. After experimenting with other beds and mattresses, I discovered the problem was a soft spot in the Simmons mattress, under my hips, which allowed my back to sag, causing the back pain. I reported this situation to Sleepy's and the saleswoman said, "You must have a "crater" in the mattress". She gave me a number to call to report the problem. I did so and Sleepy's said they would send an [redacted] to my house, which they did after waiting two weeks. The [redacted] examined everything and said there was a soft spot where I had indicated and she would report it to Sleepy's who would contact me within 7 days. When I did not hear from Sleepy's I called and was told that there was a stain on the mattress which invalidated the warranty. (The [redacted] had said nothing about a stain.) I asked where in the warranty it said anything about a stain, pointing out that there had been some tea spilled on the mattress edge and that the mattress cover which I paid extra for,was supposed to prevent any stains from going through. The man transferred me to a [redacted] who said the reading the [redacted] had taken on the mattress did not show enough weakness in the springs to warrant replacement and there was nothing they could do. I am 89 years old, [redacted], so a weakness on the tiny scale the [redacted] used would be very different from when my body is on the mattress. When I go back and lie on that part of the mattress I can feel the "crater" under my hips.I hope they are not taking advantage of my advanced age.Desired Settlement: I would prefer a refund of the amount paid, but I will accept a new mattress and mattress cover to replace the damaged products. I would also expect to be compensated for the chiropractic treatments amd for the pain which the defective mattress caused.

Case #: [redacted]

On February *, 2013, [redacted] received a Simmons Beauty Rest Lucetta queen size mattress set, which was part

of his comfort exchange. On April *, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer

Service Department claiming that the Simmons queen size mattress was sagging.

Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated

for an inspection of the merchandise. The inspection report revealed the

mattress showed a slight visible body impression still within the manufacturer’s

specifications standards and a light blemish, which automatically voids the

manufacturer’s warranty. Pursuant to the terms of the warranty, Sleepy’s denied

[redacted]’s request to replace the merchandise. [redacted] was informed of these

findings on April **, 2014.

Dissatisfied with the results of the inspection, [redacted] filed with your agency. Contrary to the manufacturer’s warranty and Sleepy’s

well-established policies, but as an accommodation to [redacted] we contacted Simmons

Bedding Company and provided them a copy of the inspection results. Simmons

agreed as a courtesy to replace [redacted]’s mattress only as long as he selected

another Simmons mattress.

On April **, 2014, the Customer Relations Department of Sleepy’s spoke with [redacted] and informed him Simmons

will be replacing his mattress. An exchange has been scheduled for May **,

2014.

Since we have resolved [redacted]’s complaint to their satisfaction we believe no further action is necessary. If

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

However, It should be noted that Sleepy's refused to take any action until this matter was referred to the Revdex.com and published on their website. After the publication Sleepy's suddenly came up with a solution and we were able to reach a compromise.

Sincerely,

Review: My ordeal started with Sleepy's started around September 2013 wherein I explained the medical circumstances of my seeking an appropriate mattress to the sales associate. Nonetheless, and contrary to my surgeons advise, I followed the many sales associates advice. I have tried the Tempur-pedic, Phenom, Legend, Euro top Sleeping beauty, the statesman sleeping beauty, and now the GS Stearns. I also have a serta i-series which I plan to return for lack of appropriateness. I must preface this complaint with the fact that I was told at the beginning of this process that if I was not satisfied with the mattress I could get my full refund within 21 days. I soon found this is not the case. You have to purchase a mattress or something of equal or grater value. This policy has caused me to spend great amounts of money in sleepy s products which does not help my back. Because of these fact I am requesting that Sleepy's make a onetime refund of my purchase of the GS Stearns Mattress and the I-series together with the delivery charges so that I can seek out other products which may accommodate my [redacted].. My experiences with Sleepy's has been exhausting. My research has revealed that most mattress stores does give a trail period which offers a full refund of you money. Why doesn't sleepys. Anyway, your consideration of this onetime request is solicited and appreciated. FYI, for the record, I have not had the many exchanges as listed in your file for me. After finding that I could not get my money backs, I just kept trying mattresses to see if they would work for me. I believe I have had only 6 or 7 actually delivered to my home.Desired Settlement: Refund of the purchase price of the 2 beds currently in my home

Delivery took place on October **, 2014 for her full size bedding and October **, 2013 for her queen size bedding. [redacted] was advised of the 90 Night In-Home Trial offered by Tempur-Pedic. The details of the trial are as follows: “All vendor in-home trials require that you sleep on your mattress for a minimum of 30 days to get its unique comfort and support qualities. If you are not happy thereafter, we will allow you to return the mattress for a refund or an exchange provided you are within the applicable period. A one-time shipping and handling fee of $175.00 will be billed for all returns.”

On November *, 2013 [redacted] initiated a Comfort Exchange from the queen size Tempur-Pedic set to a queen size ComforPedic set. Delivery took place on November *, 2013.

On November **, 2013 [redacted] initiated a second Comfort Exchange from the queen size ComforPedic set to a queen size Simmons Legend set. Delivery took place on November **, 2013.

On May **, 2014 [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the queen size Simmons Legend mattress she received in November 2013 and the full size Simmons Beautyrest mattress we delivered in October 2013 were both sagging. Since this is what would be a potential warranty issue, Sleepy’s dispatched a third party inspection company to perform an inspection on both products. The results indicated that [redacted]’ queen size Simmons mattress and box spring were up to the manufacturer’s standards and therefore, a warranty exchange was not approved. The results of [redacted]’ full size Simmons Beautyrest mattress indicated that the mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s standards and was eligible for a warranty exchange.

On June *, 2014, [redacted] returned to her local showroom to facilitate the warranty exchange of her full size Simmons Beautyrest mattress. She selected a full size Serta iSeries mattress and box spring set. Delivery took place on June **, 2014.

On July *, 2014 [redacted] took advantage of our Satisfaction Assurance Program which allows consumers to exchange their merchandise for a fee of $150. [redacted]’ exchanged her queen size Simmons Legend set for a queen size Kingsdown Elisa set on July *, 2014.

On July **, 2014 [redacted] initiated a Comfort Exchange from her queen size Kingsdown Elisa set for a king size Kingsdown Statesman set, a full size bed frame and a king size bed liner. Delivery took place on July **, 2014.

On July **, 2014, [redacted] initiated a second Comfort Exchange from her king size Kingsdown Statesman set to a king size ComforPedic Phenom set. Delivery took place on July **, 2014.

On August **, 2014 [redacted] took advantage of our Satisfaction Assurance Program and exchanged her king size ComforPedic Phenom set for a queen size Stearns and Foster set. She was informed this would be the last exchange that Sleepy’s would extend to her as each customer is provided an allowance of one Comfort Exchange and one Satisfaction Assurance exchange per purchase. Delivery took place on August **, 2014.

Dissatisfied, [redacted] filed a complaint with your agency. Sleepy’s has made an exception to our No Refund Policy and will be picking up [redacted]’ king size Stearns and Foster set for a full refund. In addition, we will be processing a return for the full size Serta iSeries set she received in June 2014 which falls under the 120 day In-Home trial less a $175 fee.

We will continue to work with [redacted] until her pick up and refund is completed. We believe that no further action is required at this time. If you have any questions please contact [redacted] at [redacted] or at ###-###-####.

Mattress is defective,completely caves in the center when layin on it,causing me severe back pain. The mattress information states that it is a air spring and provides complete back support. Not true. I have complied with manufacturers instructions on rotation. The mattress just caves in on the 4 inch pillow top and sins down to the mattress. Now below so called pillowtop the mattress in buckling in. I am single and weight only 145lbs this should not be happening. distortion of matress causing sever lower back pain. I went to original place of purchase Mattress discounters to complain on October **,2013 [redacted] and representive who sold mattress to me said ,it was out of her handsI had to directly contact Sleepys. [redacted] was on the phone with me to sleepys while making my complaint to Prudence a Customer service rep. Prudence noted my complaint and said I would get a call from warranty dept within 5 to 7 days. I waited for 10 days, no call from warramty dept. I called Sleepys again October **, 2013 to find out what was going on,another customer service rep. said my complaint was sent she would send another e-mail to warranty dept. to wait for there call. Novermember *,2013 I still have not heard fromSleepys warranty Dept so I make another call to customer service. Customer service rep. writes another e-mail of my complaint, Representive tells me she has all complaints on file and dates thru my phone number.

I recieved no messages from anyone from Sleepys warranty dept. All my call history is saved from that date.

That is what Sleepys rep. wrote on my complaint, Can you please help me there is somethin very deciving going on with this situation. I am not able to sleep on this defective mattress. I am living on a small income from SSI disibility cannot afford to purchase another one till I am at least refunded or credited a full refund.

Case: [redacted]

On January **, 2013, [redacted] purchased from Sleepy’s a Spring Air queen size mattress model # 0960

and box spring model # 4900. On October **, 2013, [redacted] contacted our

Warranty Support Department to advise that her mattress was sagging. Since this

was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection

of the merchandise. Sleepy’s arranged for a third-party independent inspection

company to inspect [redacted]’s merchandise. However [redacted] has not heard

from the inspection company as the representative inadvertently provided an

incorrect telephone number for the customer. We spoke to the customer November

**, 2013 and apologized for the error. We have sent a request to the inspection

company to expedite [redacted]’s request and to schedule the earliest

appointment they can make to accommodate this customer.

We will update this response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

I finally did get a inspector from Sleepys to come to my home on Thursday Dec *,2013 and

inspect mattress so Sleepys may deal with the issue with the manufacturer for their reinbursement.

Inspector also had to return on Friday Dec *, 2013 to retake photos that he accidently erased from the prior day.

I spoke with [redacted] from Sleepys and she assured me that I can go into one of their stores and I can recieve a full credit on another mattress purchase. I will select another mattress hopefully this weekend or begining of next week.

I need to set up a time with [redacted] when she will be able to process a credit over the phone with a [redacted] so that I can use my credit to obtain another mattress.

Sleepy’s is in receipt of rebuttal

regarding case #: [redacted].

Sleepy’s Customer Relations

representative reached out to [redacted] on December **, 2013, and offered to

visit Sleepy’s showroom to select another mattress set and complete her

warranty exchange. If we can be of any further assistance or, if you should

require additional information please do not hesitate to contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Review: We purchased a Simmons "recharge" mattress with boxspring on 12/**/13. Within the the first month, the mattress began to sag greatly. We contacted them and they exchanged the mattress only with the same model with no issues or cost and extended the 30 day return policy. This exchanged mattress also began to sag, but by the time it was apparent, it was just past the 30 day return period (33 days). So an inspector was sent out who deemed the mattress faulty and a full credit of $756.09 for the mattress only was issued on 3/*/14. (This credit must be redeemed within 14 days which is tomorrow). When we went to the store to select a new mattress, we selected one higher cost model, Sterns and foster for about $300 more, and one lower cost model, Sealy SE5710, which is about $300 less than our purchased mattress. We will not purchase another Simmons from Sleepy's as it is proven to be a faulty substandard product. Sleepys said that they will exchange the lesser cost Sealy as "an even exchange", even though it's $300 less. Also, they will not take back the box spring from the original purchase even though it is useless to us without the Simmons mattress because we'd have to purchase the Sealy boxspring to have a warranty on that mattress....and as Sleepy's has showed us, it is most important to have a warranty.

The above position from Sleepy's was explained during a call to a Sleepy's customer service representative, [redacted] on Friday night, 3/**/14, from a Sleepy's store in [redacted] The customer service representative would not yield to any offer to settle the matter amicably.

The failure of the current Simmons mattress is causing loss of sleep, loss of quality of sleep, as well as body aches and pains. Not to mention the extreme loss of time in attempting to remedy the situation.Desired Settlement: A full refund would be acceptable as we do not feel comfortable dealing with Sleepy's anymore and we have no confidence in their Products. Otherwise, we would like a refund for the cost difference between the purchased Simmons and selected Sealy...this is about $300. and delivery of the new Sealy with box spring should be free, no charge. Warranty terms should also be extended.

Case #: [redacted]

On December **, 2013, [redacted] purchased a Simmons Beauty Rest Recharge queen size mattress set along with a

full/queen size frame. [redacted] received delivery on December **, 2013.

On January **, 2014, [redacted] returned to his local showroom stating the Simmons queen mattress was

showing signs of visible sagging. The Mattress Professional contacted our

Warranty Support Department and arranged for [redacted] to receive an even

exchange since the merchandise has been in the residence less than thirty (30)

days. Delivery was completed on January **, 2014.

On February **, 2014[redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service

Department claiming that the Simmons queen size mattress was visibly sagging. Since this was what would be a potential

warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. The

third-party independent inspection company delivered measurements that revealed

that the mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s standards and the box spring

did meet the manufacturer’s standards, therefore, the Simmons queen mattress

was eligible for a warranty exchange only.

A letter of credit was mailed to [redacted] on March *, 2014.

On March *, 2014, [redacted] returned to his local showroom to facilitate a warranty exchange. [redacted]

chose another Simmons queen size mattress of greater value. [redacted] was

informed he had to pay the difference in price as well as a delivery charge

which was reduced from the standard $99.99 to $59.99.

On March **, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service to express his dissatisfaction

with having to pay the balance. [redacted] was offered a different Simmons model that could be offered as an

even exchange or the option of reselecting outside of Simmons to a different

manufacturer.

On March **, 2014, [redacted] once again contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service to express his

dissatisfaction with amount of credit being given since the box springs met the

manufacturer’s standards. Upon delivery, [redacted] received a warranty

booklet, which clearly outlines the manufacturer’s limited warranty. A

stipulation in the warranty under “What is Covered” states, “Replacement of one

piece does not automatically result in the replacement of the other piece.” [redacted] decided to call back the following week to discuss the matter with a

[redacted].

On March 17, 2014, Mr. Larrabure spoke with a manager in our Customer Service Department and was

advised the warranty covers the item found defective only. [redacted]

advised he liked a set from a different manufacturer. Contrary to the manufacturer’s warranty and Sleepy’s

well-established policies, but as an accommodation to [redacted] we

contacted Simmons Bedding Company and provided them a copy of the inspection

results. Simmons agreed to replace [redacted]’s box spring as a courtesy.

[redacted] selected another queen size set manufactured by Sealy and received his delivery on March 25,

2014.

Since we have resolved [redacted]’s complaint to his satisfaction we believe no further action is necessary. If

there should be any further questions or concerns, please contact Alicia Van

Exel at (516) 861-7210 or [email protected].

Review: Bought brand new mattress 9 months ago that completly sank in the middle and caused back problems and is not usable in the current condition. No one can sleep on a mattress this defective. After complaining Sleepys sent out an inspector who said the matress was stained and voided the warrenty. English is my second language and I did not know what I was signing. In any case I could have cleaned this slight discloroation and didn't because it was no big deal. The mattress is in perfect condition other than the defect. I asked for another inspection and they said they only inspect once a year.Desired Settlement: They keep trying to tell me they can give me another for the employee discount ($600). This is not acceptable to sell me more merchandise. I require a replacement at no additional cost.

Case: [redacted]

On August *, 2013, [redacted] purchased a King Koil king size mattress set, along with a metal frame. All

merchandise was delivered on August *, 2013.

On May *, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming

that the mattress was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an

inspection of the merchandise. The results of the inspection revealed that the

mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s standards and also showed signs of a

liquid blemish, which voids the manufacturer’s warranty. Pursuant to the terms of the manufacturer’s

warranty, which states “The warranty does not apply to: Mattress damage due to use

with an inappropriate foundation or support system as well as any product found

to be in an Unreasonably Unsanitary Condition which would include bodily

fluids, blood borne pathogens or other substances,” Sleepy’s denied [redacted]’s request to replace the mattress.

On May **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department to inquire on

the results for the recent warranty inspection. [redacted] was informed the manufacturer’s

warranty was void due to the visible stain on the mattress. [redacted] was

offered the option to select new bedding and Sleepy’s would offer a substantial

discount on the new bedding to accommodate [redacted] requested

a copy of his invoice as well as a copy of the inspection report.

On June *, 2014, [redacted] again contacted our Customer Service Department disputing

the results and was not accepting the offer of accommodating pricing on new

bedding. [redacted] was once again informed that Sleepy's would offer a substantial

discount on the new bedding and in order to assist him further he must return

to his local showroom.

On June **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department from his local

showroom requesting to have another inspection. [redacted] was advised being

the warranty was voided; another inspection could not be accommodated. [redacted] advised he would contact legal counsel for further advice.

On July *, 2014, a friend of [redacted]’s contacted our Customer Service Department

requesting to speak to a [redacted] regarding the outcome of his recent

inspection. [redacted]’s friend alleged that [redacted] was taken advantage

of since his primary language is Spanish and not English. [redacted]’s friend

was explained Sleepy's policies and procedures as well as the warranty of King

Koil. Dissatisfied with this response, another [redacted] was requested to be

spoken to about the matter. Upon speaking with another [redacted]

and his friend were again informed that due to the visible stain on the

mattress, the manufacturer would not accept the mattress back in order to give

full credit. Again the same offer of a substantial discount on a new mattress

was reiterated. [redacted] advised he would return to the showroom and call

back with different options of bedding.

Upon receipt of [redacted]’s complaint filed with your agency, a representative from our Customer Relations

Department followed up with [redacted]. In an effort to resolve [redacted]’s complaint, Sleepy's offered will offer partial store credit to be

used on ANY new bedding of his choice along with a discount on the new bedding.

[redacted] was also informed as an accommodation; Sleepy's would offer him a

mattress protector for his new bedding. [redacted] advised he would return to

the showroom to see what else he might be interested in and call back.

As we take these complaints very seriously, we believe that no further action is required at this

time. If I can be of any further assistance, or if you should require additional information, please do not

hesitate to contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Review: I purchased merchandise with 48 month interest-free financing. According to Sleepy's agreement, this financing arrangement could only be altered if NEW purchases were made.

I made EXCHANGES and my financing terms were altered. Thus, Sleepy's is in breach of their own agreement. I was not made aware that these changes would occur at the time of the exchanges. I never would have chosen 48 month interest free financing if my intention was to pay off the bill in 6 months.Desired Settlement: I would like my original, 48 month interest free agreement restored and the accrued interest removed, otherwise, Sleepy's can keep the payments I've made, cancel the entire agreement, and collect their merchandise.

Response:

Case#: [redacted]

On February *, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department advising that the terms of his

financing agreement were changed without his knowledge. The customer was

initially offered a promotional term of 44 months of equal payments with no

interest through GE financing. He subsequently had four exchanges on his

original purchase. On each of his exchanges he received additional financing

through GE but they were offered under a different promotion of 6 months interest

free financing.

We spoke to [redacted] on March **, 2014 and advised that we would partner with our [redacted]

Review: I purchased a mattress on 5/**/14. Several weeks ago we complained that the mattress seemed to be sagging or not comfortable, waking up with back pain. We contacted our local Sleepy's to be informed to call the customer service line directly. An appointment was set-up approximately 1 to 2 weeks ago and someone came to analyzed the mattress. The tech took pictures and measurements. We received a call from customer service yesterday (7/**/14) to inform us that our mattress did not meet the warranty requirements as our bed frame did not have a 3rd middle frame. We've had another king sized mattress for well over 15 years with no problems. This new mattress is supposedly made differently since 2008 and requires no flipping. Hence, the need for this 3rd frame bar. Upon purchase, the salesman only asked if we wanted to purchase a frame without advising that the frames are made differently now and would affect our warranty. A customer [redacted] tried to sell us some package for $139.99 which would allow us to exchange the mattress if it wasn't comfortable. I was looking for a resolution, not make another purchase!! I am presently awaiting a call-back from the salesman that helped me with this purchase and felt it was necessary to file this complaint. I've spoken to several people that either refuse to help me or do not comprehend that we were never told about the need for this new frame. My warranty has been affected by this and I do not wish to spend any more money than I already have for this mattress. The total purchase price was $1,241.16Desired Settlement: I would like a replacement of this mattress with the required bed frame that supports it properly. This was not explained to me, otherwise I would have purchased the bed frame so that my warranty was not affected. If they refuse my request, I would like a full refund. Thank you.

Case #: [redacted]

On July *, 2014, [redacted] visited his local showroom and made a selection of a King Koil Ortho Posture cushion firm mattress and matching foundation. At the time of sale as the consumer’s invoice reflects it indicates the offered/declined items, the consumer signed the invoice and was also provided a copy for his records.

On July *, 2014, the consumer contacted our corporate office with claims of the mattress he purchased in June 2014 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. The results of the inspection revealed [redacted] was utilizing the mattress on a foundation which provides improper support.

On July **, 2014, [redacted] was contacted and advised that in accordance to the manufacturer warranty guidelines this is a condition that voids the warranty. Therefore, pursuant to the terms of the warranty, [redacted]’s manufacturer’s warranty was voided.

On August *, 2014, Sleepy’s Corporate Office received this complaint with claims of [redacted] stating the Mattress Professional never advised of the benefits of a frame. [redacted]’s sale was completed over two (2) months ago now alleging that the Mattress Professional never cautioned on the framing cannot be founded.

Contrary to the manufacturer’s warranty and Sleepy’s well-established policies and procedures and in an effort to assist [redacted] we are offering the consumer the opportunity to take advantage of our Satisfaction Assurance Plus Program which is located and detailed on the Terms and Conditions provided at the point of sale which states in clear and concise language:

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

[Your Answer Here]

I am declining this resolution, for the simple fact that none of my concerns have been met. Customer Service seems to not want to comprehend the fact that we were never informed of any warranty void due to an insufficient bed frame. They continue to contact me by phone and now in this complaint, with the same information. I DO NOT want to purchase any Customer Satisfaction Warranty, I should still have a warranty!! I want you to understand what I'm saying, however, you not only 'void' out my warranty, you also 'void' out the salesperson's responsibility for selling a mattress without explaining anything! I will again repeat myself as you're doing, the salesperson NEVER explained any warranty voids due to an insufficient bed frame. He sat us down at his desk and asked us questions, concerning an 18-month interest free credit card which we could purchase this mattress with. During that time as he obtained personal information for this credit card, he casually asked if we wanted a mattress pad or a bed frame. I told him no, because we already have a mattress pad and since we've had a king sized mattress for years, no I do not need a bed frame either. He acknowledged all this without mentioning that my warranty will be affected if I don't have this 'new 3-bar' bed frame. He prints out some papers and says sign here! That's it! I have contacted your local office to try to reach him and to no avail has he even called me back. What I see is that Sleepy's improperly trains their employees and does not delegate any responsibilities to them whatsoever. Just sell mattresses, get your commissions and Customer Service will deal with any problems. Well that's not how it should be, the salesperson should have called me back. You cannot have any foundation for this complaint, because you weren't there! What happened to the customer is always right? You are literally calling me a liar and that's bad business!

The only warranty papers I have is for the 'tag law' nothing concerning bed frames, as Customer Service said I should have these warranties in my possession. I have started a dispute with GE Capital, the credit card company which this purchase was made. Your Ce should not require for me to pay you more money. Accept the fact that your salesperson did not do his job! Improper training will result in problems and bad business on your part. Accept what I'm saying and offer me a resolution to that. I do not want to be responsible for anything, I am the customer. You sold me the mattress, you did not explain the bed frame to me, you took my money and now expect more money from me to solve a problem. This seems more like a scam than a resolution.

If it was explained that the bed frame would have affected my warranty, I would have gladly purchased a bed frame to accommodate my mattress. However, I will NOT pay you more money to obtain an exchange for something I am not responsible for. Until you can offer me something different, rather than repeating the same resolution over and over, which I have already denied, this complaint will remain in place, DECLINED!

Thank you,

While we are aware of the consumer’s refusal of the proposed resolution unfortunately; the offer will remain the same. The consumer has expressed their dissatisfaction in the previous inquiries/rebuttals in which the same offer has been and will continue to be reiterated.

Review: There are two primary issues I have with Sleepy's The Mattress Professionals. First there was a misrepresentation issue, and second, the mattress that they delivered to me is defective and they are refusing to give me a refund.

The misrepresentation (which may also be deceptive advertising) is in that they promised their beds contain "cool gel" memory foam. I am familiar with memory foam and I hate it, and I told the salespeople that I hate it and they promised me that the "cool gel" memory foam is different. After I got the mattress I found that the mattress is extremely hot to sleep on. I tried it with and without the waterproof cover, as suggested by the saleslady and it made no difference. It is so uncomfortably hot that I would wake up in the night. (no other mattress that I sleep on has this issue and I've never had this issue in the past, EXCEPT when I'm sleeping on a memory foam mattress.) They want to exchange the mattress for another one under their "comfort guarantee" BUT they do not make a mattress without memory foam. I went to every single Sleepy's store in my area--4 of them--and non had a mattress without memory foam and I was told repeatedly by different salespeople that there is nothing without memory foam. So that is one reason that an exchange is unacceptable.

The first night I slept on the mattress I found myself gradually migrating toward the head of the bed until my head hit the headboard! Naturally this woke me up. It happened repeatedly and was very puzzling to me as I did not notice anything visibly wrong with the mattress. The same thing happened to my partner. We kept the coverings on the mattress until the Bed Check person that Sleepy's sent to inspect the mattress arrived out of fear that any small stain would get on the mattress. (I've read many complaints about warranties being denied because of small stains) After she arrived we took the bedding off the mattress and I was shocked to see a significant slope in the mattress toward the head of the bed, visible to the naked eye. It was not evident with the bedding on, not until I really looked at the mattress could I see it sloping toward the head and one corner. Our warranty claim was denied on the grounds that there was not a 1 1/2 inch difference in the level of the mattress. 1 1/2 inches is a huge difference!! and it's normally applied to body compression--sag in the middle of the mattress after people have been sleeping on it for some time. We have only slept on this mattress for 2 nights. That's all I could tolerate as it also, besides making me hot and hit my head, makes my back hurt. I've also never had back issues in my life so I know that all of these issues are directly related to this faulty mattress.

I have made repeated phone calls--many more than I can list on this form, I've gone through their warranty process and jumped through their hoops and the end result is that I am extremely dissatisfied. What other industry can sell you a defective product and refuse to give you a refund? They have sold me a defective product and I want my money back.Desired Settlement: refund-credit card credit

Case #: [redacted]

On August **, 2014, [redacted]

purchased from Sleepy’s a queen size Simmons Ultimate mattress and box spring

and received delivery on August **, 2014. On September **, 2014, [redacted]

called our Customer Care Department requesting to return her bed. She was

informed that she cannot return the bed but she can exchange it under our

Satisfaction Assurance Program. The customer requested to speak to a [redacted]. The

[redacted] on duty reiterated our terms & conditions.

On September **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Care Department requesting a full pick-up and

refund of her queen size Simmons Ultimate queen mattress and box spring. [redacted] stated the mattress had an odor and was visibly sagging toward the head

of the bed. [redacted] was offered an exchange, however the offer was refused

and [redacted] stated she would dispute the charges with the credit card

company.

On September **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Care Department again regarding the sagging in

the mattress. [redacted] spoke with the [redacted] on duty and was informed that since

this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we would coordinate for an

inspection of the merchandise. The inspection report revealed measurements

within the manufacturer’s guidelines indicating the mattress met the

manufacturer’s standards. Pursuant to the terms of the warranty, Sleepy’s

denied [redacted] request to replace the merchandise. On September **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Warranty Support Department to discuss the outcome of the

recent inspection. [redacted] was advised the mattress met the manufacturer’s

standards and therefore was not eligible for an exchange; however the box

spring was considered defective and would be eligible for an exchange.

Disputing the results, [redacted] requested to speak to the Customer Care

[redacted] she has spoken to previously. [redacted] was informed the [redacted] was

not in this day. [redacted] advised she would call back.

Upon receiving [redacted] complaint

filed with your agency Sleepy’s contacted Simmons Bedding Company and provided

them a copy of the inspection results for further review. Simmons agreed to

replace [redacted] mattress, therefore making the set eligible for an exchange.

At the point of sale, [redacted] was provided an invoice which outlines and

specifically states, “No refund will be offered after delivery, with the

exception of partial adjustments with the Sleepy's Price Guarantee Policy.

Merchandise may only be exchanged in accordance with the Sleepy's Satisfaction

Assurance.”

In an effort to resolve [redacted] complaint, Sleepy's is offering and even exchange or store credit to

reselect different bedding. If there should be any further questions or

concerns, please contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

I am not interested in doing any more business with Sleepy's. I am not interested in any of their mattresses. They all have memory foam, which I cannot sleep on (and which they falsely advertised as "cool gel") and the quality is so low (Even for a $4000 mattress) that a mattress with this severity of defect is considered to be within the warranty. (I was not even able to access all of the details about the warranty until after the mattress was delivered and I looked at the code on the mattress tag.) I've learned my lesson and I would be a fool to do it all over again with a different mattress from Sleepy's. In fact, I'll never do business again with any company that refuses to offer refunds under any circumstances. Sleepy's was sued in 2004 and 2007 for some of the same issues that I have had so I know that this is a regular way of doing business for this company. Sleepy's does not have a product that I can use and therefore, anything less than a refund is unacceptable.

In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Sincerely,

Review: We bought a mattress that we weren't sure would be good for my wife since she has [redacted] and is [redacted]. The sales rep told us we could exchange mattress if we didn't like it. We tried it out, it made my wifes back hurt so much she could barely sit. So we went back to exchange. Then proceeded to inform us of the exchange fee and delivery fee which was never disclosed to us or we would not have bought the mattress. The fee turned out to be almost as much as the mattress itself. Called the company, the person assigned to our case told us it was on receipt. Oh the receipt we got after buying our mattress in fine print? They should have disclosed this to us and we would not have purchased the mattress.Desired Settlement: Refund credit card.

Case #: [redacted]

On October *, 2014, [redacted] received delivery of a King Koil Ortho Posture king size mattress and box spring. At the time of purchase, the consumer received an invoice containing a statement of Sleepy’s No Refund Policy in clear and concise language (see attached). The No Refund Policy is also conspicuously posted in Sleepy’s showrooms.

On October *, 2014, the customer requested a pick up and refund of his box spring due to its incompatibility with his plat form; contrary to our established policy [redacted]’ s request was honored. The consumer was refunded in the amount of $289.39, restored to his Visa credit card account last four digits [redacted].

On October **, 2014, the customer visited their local showroom to complete a Comfort Exchange. [redacted] disputed the Comfort Exchange and delivery fee with claims of not being made fully aware, of the fees associated with such exchanges. The consumer was referred to his Terms and Conditions documented on the back of his invoice.

On October **, 2014, a member of our Customer Relations Department contacted the consumer and attempted to discuss his complaint. The customer was only interested in discussing the issue on the pretense we are prepared to refund all fees associated with the Comfort Exchange. This is a request that unfortunately; cannot be honored.

We are aware of the consumers continued dissatisfaction and perplexed we are unable to honor his request. However; we are offering the consumer a complimentary set of pillows.

Review: I purchased mattress, boxsprings, frame, mattress protector and sheet set 12/**/2014 at this store. Price of sheets was $59. After five or six washings the sheets do not fit the mattress any longer. I returned to the store to make my complaint and was told to call ###-###-####, corporate headquarters. I called that number and was informed that the sheets are under warranty by [redacted], telephone number ###-###-####. I called that number and was told that [redacted] is a distributor only and does not warranty any products. I feel that I have been given the run around. Can you help?Desired Settlement: I would accept a refund.
