Sleepy's

Review: We bought a Lucetta plush/firm mattress less than a year ago - CUSTOMER ID #[redacted]. Within six months it started to sag! This is a $1,200 mattress! It took 2 weeks to get a call (!) from a warranty inspector to schedule a visit to measure the obvious sagging; then another 3 weeks for him to actually come out! Five weeks! And now another week to get a phone call back from Sleepy's that now they have conveniently discontinued that model. That means we have to go to their store (again!) and find a comparable model and hopefully (?!) a comparable price. This is a horrible business practice. How convenient when we already paid for a 10-year warranty that should cover the replacement in the first place! This has been a disaster and I plan never to use Sleepy's again at this rate. We have back problems from this mattress and for the pain and suffering alone, we don't plan to spend any more money on a "comparable" Simmons mattress.Desired Settlement: We want the "comparable" (as they put it) updated model that works with the box spring we originally purchased for the Lucetta. However, if there is a price increase for this updated, "comparable" model, we should not have to pay that difference in price. It should feel as comfortable as the Lucetta model we originally purchased. They decided to discontinue our model, and this mode of business we find questionable, to say the least.

Case #:

On November

*, 2013, [redacted], contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that

the mattress he purchased in January 2013 was sagging. Since this what would be a potential warranty

issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. Sleepy’s dispatched

a third-party independent inspection company to [redacted]’s home to inspect his mattress.

The inspection results revealed that the mattress was not up to manufacturer’s standards

and therefore was defective. Sleepy’s offered [redacted] a store credit in the

amount of $1,203.35 to select a mattress of his choice of equal or greater

value.

On December **, 2013, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department. [redacted]

requested an identical replacement of his mattress. Unfortunately, [redacted]’s mattress

was discontinued by the manufacturer and [redacted] was offered to select another

mattress. In addition, we offered [redacted] an accommodation pricing on the

replacement mattress.

Upon receipt

of the complaint filed with your office, we reached out to the customer on

December **, 2013. We were unable to speak to him and left him a voice mail

message. When the customer contacts us, we will assist him with his replacement.

We

believe that no further action is required at this time as we await the

customer’s response. If you have any further questions please contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted]

Review: On 4/**/2014 my sister and I went to Sleepy's in Bowie Maryland to inquire a some mattresses. We asked the salesman if they had layaway and he stated that we have financing and that everyone who applies is approved. He ran the credit application and stated that we were approved each for $1925.00 we selected some mattresses and set up a delivery date later to find out that we were issued a rental/lease agreement with sleeps. After I discovered that this was a leasing agreement we have been trying to return these mattresses. I have spoken with the corporate office managers on different occasions and was told that they do not have a return policy basically without me paying an additional fee to return them. On today I talked with a [redacted] by the name of [redacted] and she said that she would exchange the mattress if we go in the store and select some mattresses that cost $3000.00 to take up the cost of the high finance charges so they won't lose a sale. The finance charges are over $1500.00 and Sleep’s answer to their salesman not disclosing the information about the lease to own is to select a higher mattress to make up for paying an additional $1500.00 Sleepy's idea of dealing with a disgruntle customer is in their favor. If we don't accept their terms we are stuck with paying an additional $1500.00 this information was not afforded to me or my sister if the sales person had informed us that this was a lease to I would have never signed an agreement with him I guess this is how he make his sales/commission. The sales person pushed for us to get the most expensive mattress in order to spend the limit on the approved credit. We both asked for firm mattress and we got soft. This deceptive practice is unacceptable. I feel like I have been bullied into buying a mattress worth $300 dollars that costing me $3000.00. Sleepy's reviews on the websites are horrible.Desired Settlement: I want a refund of my $40.00 in addition to Sleepy's picking these mattresses up and their policies need to be change if you go in a store and the salesperson states that they have financing and nowhere does it state a lease to own that should be change. Sleepy's should be put out of business.

Case #: [redacted]

On April **, 2014, [redacted] visited her local Sleepy’s showroom and purchased a queen size

Simmons Beauty Rest Recharge mattress set along with a mattress protector. [redacted] paid the order in full via financing through a new alternative financing

program Sleepy’s offers its customers by the name of Progressive. [redacted]

received delivery on April **, 2014.

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

exchange the standard box spring received to a low profile box spring. [redacted] was informed the standard applicable delivery charge would apply and

refused the offer. Upon [redacted] completing her purchase and upon accepting

delivery, [redacted] received an invoice outlining the terms and conditions in

clear and concise language. The terms specifically state “Sleepy’s does not

offer refund after delivery, with the exception of partial adjustments in

accordance with the Sleepy’s Price Guarantee Policy. Merchandise may only be

exchanged in accordance with Sleepy’s Satisfaction Assurance.”

Upon receipt of this complaint, a Customer Relations representative attempted to reach

out to [redacted] to no avail. A message was unable to be left due to the

voicemail being at full capacity. Since customer satisfaction is our main goal,

Sleepy’s will offer [redacted] the opportunity to do an exchange.

Notwithstanding our well established policies and procedures, Sleepy’s will

allow [redacted] to select another bedding of lesser value and offer her the

difference as a refund.

As we take these complaints very seriously, we will continue to work with [redacted]

to make sure her complaint is resolved in its totality to her satisfaction. If

I may be of further assistance, please contact [redacted] at ###-###-####

Review: We first went to the Shirley Sleepys following an online advertisement for a free mattress with the purchase of a Platform Ledge Bed. The Platform Ledge Bed, is the basic bed frame, lacking a headboard and is sold for roughly 299.00 for a queen sized bed. When we got to the store, the [redacted] told us the sale was only if you also purchased a headboard and we must have read it wrong. So we got home, found the ad (which we took screen shots of) and called customer service. After several hours we were finally contacted to a [redacted] who acknowledged the lack of conditions notioned in the advertisement and agreed to honor the original advertisement as published. We went to the [redacted] store, where the [redacted] even confronted by customer service, told us "They (customer service) didn't know what they were talking about, had no authority, and would not sell us the mattress without the headboard." This was also accompanied by complete hostility and name calling. The online sales representative and his [redacted] admitted the misprint, the [redacted] admitted it and attempted to mend the situation, however this store [redacted] flat out refused to admit the mistake and refused to honor the agreement we had reached with management of customer services.Desired Settlement: We'd wish for the customer service agreement to be honored with the purchase of the Ledge Platform Bed and free mattress in queen size for 299.00, in addition we request a formal apology from the [redacted] store [redacted] for his breach of agreement and unnecessary hostility.

Case # [redacted]

Sleepy’s is in receipt of the complaint filed with your agency. In June 2014,

[redacted] and his fiancé went to a local showroom requesting a specific

package that was advertised for $299 which included a platform bed and a free

mattress. Although this add was a misprinted

in our advertisement, it should have been honored at the point of sale.

A Customer Relations representative has since reached out to the customer and honored a purchase price of $341.00,

which happens to be our manufacturer’s cost for the product, along with free

delivery. [redacted] also shared details of possible poor conduct of a member of showroom personnel which has

since been addressed with management.

If further assistance is needed, please contact [redacted] at [redacted] or via email [redacted].

Review: I purchased a bed frame and mattress on 7/*/14. I was told that both would be delivered either Wed 7/*/14 or Friday 7/**/14. I received a call on Monday 7/*/14 from the salesman stating that the bed was out of stock and could not be delivered until 7/**/4. I had already disposed of my son’s bed to make room for the new bed. The salesman admitted that he knew the bed was out of stock when he sold us the product on 7/*/14 but did not inform us of this fact at the time. We agreed to take delivery of the mattress and wait for the bed frame to be delivered later since my son no longer had a bed. The mattress was delivered on Wed 7/*/14. I inspected the label on the packaging and matched it up to the item number on my receipt. The delivery truck left. Upon further inspection, I noticed several labels with information regarding varying size mattresses on the packaging. I also noticed that the fabric pattern on the mattress differed from that of the model in the store. I went back to the store and took a picture of the label attached to the mattress we had chosen and then compared it to the mattress which was delivered. The mattress that was delivered to me did not match the one I was sold. I visited the store website and discovered it was considerably inferior in quality. I became suspicious that Sleepy's had intentionally mislabeled the item or repackaged a used mattress. I called the salesperson and was guaranteed that the correct mattress would be exchanged before 8:00 am on Friday 7/**/14 so that I would not have to take additional time off work for the exchange as I had already taken time off to receive the original delivery on 7/*/11. At 8:05 am I called the delivery service only to learn that the mattress would not be delivered until 9:00 am thereby making me considerably late for work. I then chose to cancel my order and was told that Sleepy's had a "no refund" policy and I could not cancel. After many calls and much persistence, I was able to get a verbal commitment that Sleepy's would pick up the mattress and refund my order. They did pick up the mattress. However, I lost two days of work dealing with what I view as misleading and deceitful practices of this company's employees. My main concern is that Sleepy's may be misleading consumers by delivering used or mislabeled mattresses and then may be bullying them into paying for inferior products and service. Had I not made a trip back to the store, I might have paid for an inferior, possibly used mattress. Had I not been as persistent with customer service, I would have been forced to give what I view as an unethical company my business by not receiving a refund. I feel strongly that so many issues with one purchase are not coincidental and should be investigated to prevent these potentially illegal practices from happening to other consumers.Desired Settlement: I am hoping that the refund that was promised to me will be honored but am concerned that the company will not honor its word.

Review: My husband and I bought a mattress from Sleepy's in Newton, MA. The mattress was sitting in the warehouse as it was not taken by it's original purchasers so it was available immediately and delivered a few days later. 2 days later my husband leaves on a trip when he returns roughly 2 weeks later, we notice that there is a severe lump in the middle of the bed. We call Sleepy's and they tell us this is indeed not normal and that we should set up an in-home assessment. After weeks of phone calls (and our daughter being in the ER twice) A man comes to our home and it's found to not have issues. This is ridiculous because you can SEE the lump with the naked eye. You can hear the springs "pop" with every move. We called to appeal. My husband leaves messages and every time we call back no one is there and Sleepy's returns calls days later only for us to miss the call again while at work. We're so upset about this large purchase being a dud and no one will own up to it.Desired Settlement: We'd like a refund or replacement.

On May **, 2014, the [redacted]’s contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress purchased in April 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 that the mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s 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 the [redacted]’s request to replace the merchandise. At the time of delivery, the [redacted]’s 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 the [redacted]’s, Sleepy’s is offering an employee discount on a new mattress (excluding Tempur-Pedic, Sealy Cool Sense, Serta I Series, and Serta Cool Elegance). The [redacted]’s 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 the [redacted]’s with a complimentary frame mimicking the support the manufacture is seeking for their merchandise.

Review: Ordered a mattress from company totaling $2300. Guarenteed 90 day in home trial / replacement and lifetime warranty on the mattress. The mattress was chose to support my pregnant wife and myself who suufers from multiple [redacted]s.

After a single day in our home the mattress had a pronounced lean to one side. We called and reoprted the issue. After 2 weeks of having the matrress in our home a certified inpsector came to our home and confirmed that the mattress has a sag in the mattress and reported his findings to the company (Sleepy's). The inspector took pictures of the mattress at that time. The company called and explained to us that the sag was not great enough to warrant a warranty claim. We said that we wanted a new mattress per our 90 day in home trial and we were told that we would have to pay an additional $150 dollars to have a new mattress delivered, which we refused because we had been sold a defective product. After 2 hours on the phone my wife was able to speak to a [redacted] in New York who agreed to deliver a mattress free of charge.

On 10/**/2014 (Original purchase date 08/**/2014) the new mattress delivery team arrived at 6:00 PM and were let in the house to remove the old mattress. They removed the mattress from the box spring, dragged it into an adjacent room and then claimed that there was a stain on the mattress and the warranty was therefore voided. The team left my property with the new mattress that they had come to deliver without documenting the condition of the mattress other than telling me and somebody on the phone that the mattress had a stain on it. No pictures were taken, forms completed etc... they just left.

I called the company and stated that this was unlawful and unethical on their part. I have [redacted] and my wife is [redacted] pregnant - we now had a defective bed that was out of place that we are tasked with moving back into its proper place and we do not have the bed that we need to support us in our current health condition.

The corporate headquarters did offer to sell me the identical mattress to my own for another $1000 plus a protection plan. It is insane to thinks that I would pay an additional $1000 to got through this nightmare again. I informed the company that the only exchnage of money would be from the company to me and not from me to the company moving forward. My family has no desire to continue a relationship with this unscupulous company at this point.

Immediately after the phone call I took multiple pictures of tha mattress as is stood in the room where it was left to document the condition of the mattress surface (no stains are present). The pictures were emailed to a Sleepy's headquarters for review and I have retained all original files as well in their high quality format.

Again - The mattress was defective the second it was brought in the door, it was inspected and the defect is docuemented. The company is refusing to honor their commitmment to quality. The company has attempted to get my family to pay more money to them in order to move forward. the company has no regard for the health of me or my family - not recongnizing that we made a $2300 purchase to protect our health. The yhave refused every recourse along the way in terms of exchange, rectification, remediation and refund.Desired Settlement: I want the company to come get their mattress and refeund all of the money that I am out of pocket. I have no desire to exchange this mattress at this time as thsi process has taken over 2 months and the company is unable to complete the exchange without multiple excuses and artificial road blocks.

Case #: [redacted]

Sleepy’s is in receipt of the inquiry regarding [redacted]

On September **, 2014, the [redacted]’s contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming the mattress delivered in August 2014 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 captured empirical measurements of one (1) inch. Therefore; pursuant to the manufacturer’s warranty the [redacted]s’s were not eligible for an exchange.

On October **, 2014, [redacted] reached out to our Customer Service Department with claims of still being dissatisfied with the merchandise, after the completed inspection and captured measurements. The consumer was reminded of the options available to her at that time, which was an even exchange of the merchandise or the option to return the merchandise for a vendor return fee of $175.00. The consumer opted for the even exchange of the mattress, the request was honored and the invoice reflecting the exchange created.

On October **, 2014, the date of the scheduled exchange upon the driver’s arrival and attempt to complete the exchange process there were apparent stains observed. Unfortunately; this would be an unsanitary condition that immediately voids the manufacturer’s warranty. The driver followed the established company policy by reaching out to our corporate office and advising of the observation, the driver was instructed, the exchange process could not be completed. The consumer dissatisfied with the warranty guidelines; began to become agitated with the driver on our Customer Service line where all calls are recorded.

On October **, 2014, the same day the consumer phoned in and discussed his concern with a supervisor in regards to the observed stains. The consumer requested to escalate his call within our management team; and at 7:26pm [redacted] was transferred as requested. The consumer’s concern was addressed in great detail; where he was reminded the mattress is in fact not defective in accordance to the manufacturer’s criteria. The consumer was insistent there were no stains present on the mattress; in an effort to assist, our management team requested clear, properly lit photos for additional review. The consumer was advised if there were no stains present than the same options advised of on October **, 2014, will be available to him. It was also detailed to the consumer if the provided photos did in fact display a stain, we will be unable to proceed. The consumer agreed and supplied the photos.

On October **, 2014, at 6:45pm, the consumers photos were received where there were stains present on the mattress.

On October **, 2014, the same day the photos were received a follow up call was placed to the consumer to review the supplied photos. The [redacted] advised [redacted] that there were stains present in the photos and unfortunately; we will not be able to proceed with the exchange. In way of immediate resolution; the consumer was offered employee pricing in the amount of $1,000, for the same mattress currently in his home baring no warranty. The consumer declined this offer and demanded a refund; [redacted] was advised we are unable to honor his request of monetary reimbursement.

On October **, 2014, the same day the consumer reviewed his concern with management Sleepy’s corporate office received this complaint from your office. While we are aware and apologize for the consumer dissatisfaction however; the previous offer of accommodating pricing remains unwavering. The consumer can contact me at the number listed below to process the pricing accommodation.

Since we have reviewed the consumer’s complaint and extended resolution prior that will remain the same, we believe no further responses are 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 me at [redacted] or [redacted].

Consumer

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:

1) The mattess was inspected and photographed by a certified inspector, in my home, and no stains were present on the mattress. At this point the company should have honred their guarentee, which they initially refeused to do. Sleepy's is failing to acknowledge that the defective product that we purchased is/was defective per a certified inspection (by an inspector of their choosing)

2) When Sleepy's finally agreed to come get the mattressm their driver dragged the mattress off of my bed, into a hall way and then into an adjacenrt room before claiming he saw a stain on the mattress (which was not there). Not only did this man act in a irresponsible manner but a driver is not qualified to void the opinion of the professional who Sleepy's hired to evaluate the mattress. This act is repeated in the lawsuits and complaints filed against this company in the past.

3) Sleepy's request for more money to replace a defective product under their 100% satisfaction guarentee is borderline criminal. My wife and I will not pay an additional $1000 on top of the $2300 to a company that has failed to support their product after 1 minute in my home.

4) The customer service at Sleepy's informing me on the phone that she is the supervisor of all the individuals in the Revdex.com complaint handling unit and therfore my complaint would not succeed in remediating this claim is a shallow tactic in attempting to get me pay more money for another defective, 2nd hand mattress.

This mattress was purchased at a premium to ensure my wife's pregancy was comfortable and that my [redacted] could heal following multiple procedures this year.

This company had failed in their quality promise, warranty claims, sutomer satisfaction guarentee and has cost me a great deal of money.

This matter no closed and will not be closed until one person has the integrity to stand up and admit that these practices are hurting many people, not just [redacted] and [redacted].

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

Review: I had a bed defected 2 times when the first replacement was done I asked if we could upgrade from full to queen. I was told yes just have to pay the difference. Not knowing much about beds I inquired about a bed frame because queen is bigger than a full. I was told by [redacted] at the end of June of 2013. She looked up my info and informed me that the frame was good I did not need to purchase a new one. The bed was delivered by sleep's professional and they took the old bed and put the new bed together. Well a little over a year later a called for them to come look at the Sealy bed. The independent contractor informed me the mattress was dipped at least 3 inches in center. I was informed I would hear from them for an exchange when the letter came it said the warranty was void do to the bed frame being the wrong one. I went to the [redacted] store in ** and was telling the man that it was a sleep's issue not A Sealy defect.The man from [redacted] called head quarters and I was informed they will not replace it.I started to yell at the man I only have this mattress a little over a year and the dip is so deep do the frame. So he said sarcastically to me we tape all phone calls they will pull the tape and see if I asked about purchasing a new frame because we went from full to queen I asked please do. Well I was informed by [redacted] on 11/**/14 that they could not find my tape. I expected that. So now the offer they made me was a replacement at there cost. The bed I have I paid aprox 700 for but they don't make that one so the new version of it was a little over a Thousand dollars and they would give it to me for mid 800 no shipping. I did not agree. When you have staff there and your told you don't need a new frame and the delivery men don't inform you either I feel that sleepys was unprofessional and it is there problem to replace the bed since they cant find my missing tape that they have. So I want my bed replaced they had 2 chances to let me know about the bed frame and did not.Desired Settlement: I want a replacement of the existing bed I have.

Case #:[redacted] On October**, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Warranty Support Department claimingthat her queen size Sealy mattress (model # SE66935/0) purchased on July*, 2013was sagging. As this was potentially a warrantyissue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise with our third-partyindependent inspection company. This inspection was carried out on October**,2014. The results of the inspection revealed that while the box spring wasperforming up to standard, the mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s standards.Furthermore, the bed was being used on a frame that did not provide adequatesupport. Pursuant to the manufacturer’s guidelines, we voided [redacted]warranty due to improper support and refused her request to replace themerchandise. [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department on November**, 2014 due to herdissatisfaction with our decision to void her warranty. She spoke with one ofour Supervisors who offered her accommodation pricing on a new set. Thecustomer feels that we should be held responsible for the damage to hermattress because we did not properly advise her about the frame that she wasusing. Customer had upgraded from a full size set to a queen size set on aprevious exchange and she alleges that she was told by the MattressProfessional that she did not need a new frame as most full size frames adjustto fit a queen size set. Customer refused the offer of accommodation pricing toreplace her set. Upon receiving the complaint filed with your Agency, we reached out to the customeron November**, 2014. We discussed her warranty requirements and the issuesregarding her improper support. She does acknowledge that she did not know toinquire about the center support bar that a queen set needs in order to keep herwarranty intact. We offered [redacted] accommodation pricing to replace her set and frame and areduced delivery fee of $49.99. [redacted] accepted our offer and received delivery of her new merchandise onNovember**, 2014.Since we have resolved the complaint to the customer’s satisfaction, we believe that no further action isrequired at this time.

Review: The mattress set I purchased from Sleepy's has three main problems: First, the mattress is caving in even without weight on it. Second, the mattress doesn't have the original warranty tag with it. Third, the mattress has a tag showing a price of 113.99. It's not the price i've paid for.Desired Settlement: Refund

Response:

Case #: [redacted]Sleepy’s is in receipt of your inquiry regarding [redacted].On January **, 2014, the consumer received delivery of a King Koil Perfect Solutions queen size set and a queen size mattress protector. On August *, 2014, the consumer contacted our Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress delivered January 2014 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. On August **, 2014, two days after the consumers inspection was coordinated [redacted] phoned into conform if she was to receive a refund if the merchandise was in fact found not to be up to the manufacturer standards. The consumer was reminded of the manufacturer’s warranty which entitles the consumer to a store credit of their invested amount only. At that time [redacted] opted to cancel her coordinated inspection. On October **, 2014, [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department once again seeking to coordinate another inspection. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. The third-party independent inspection company took measurements which revealed that the mattress and box springs met the manufacturer’s guidelines. At the time of delivery, [redacted] received a copy of the manufacturer’s warranty, which clearly states, “This warranty DOES NOT apply to “Normal body impressions of a 1 ½ or less.” Pursuant to the terms of the warranty; Sleepy’s denied [redacted]’s request to replace her mattress. [redacted] was advised the manufacturer allows the consumer one inspection per calendar year, which entitles her to another inspection within a sixty-ninety (60-90) day time frame. We were surprised, as this is the first we have been made aware of a complaint from the consumer regarding law tags missing from the merchandise. Since the purchase was in January 2014; and the merchandise has been in the home for over ten (10) months I am sure you can appreciate, it is difficult to attribute the loss of the law tags to some act or omission of Sleepy’s prior to delivery of the merchandise. All of Sleepy’s merchandise comes into our warehouses straight from the manufacturer, sealed and complete with the proper law tags. Even though the inspection determined that the mattress was non-defective, in an effort to assist the consumer. Sleepy’s will nonetheless reiterate the offers of a:1. Second inspection in the new calendar year of 2015 OR 2. 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.

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:

[The business failed to provide answers to my three main questions. First, it's the sagging problem of the product. They confirmed the sagging but saying it doesn't meet the 1.5 inch sagging standard. They said there's basically nothing they could do to fix this problem. Second, the warranty tag was missing, which was supposed to be attached to the mattress. Third, there was an attached label showing the price of the mattress was actually 113.99 which was significantly lower than the price I had been charged which was 391.04 (for the mattress alone, not mention the box). The discount they were offering for another product from them is just not acceptable. How could they expect their customer to buy another product from them with this existing problem unsolved?

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:

They are not really do anything about this defective product.Not only the mattress was sagging so bad but also in the process of dealing with them, I realized it's not the mattress I paid for. Surprise, surprise. What I paid was significantly higher than the price label attached to the mattress, what I paid was supposed to be a much better quality mattress. Furthermore, the warranty form was not even there, later I learned it's supposed to be a brand new mattress and the warranty form was only supposed to be removed by the customers. What I found was only a sample warranty form. When I called them about the sagging and later the warranty form, they said it's possible it's ripped off during the delivery... Oh, well.Their customer support service and warranty department were not nice and were not helpful: hang up my phone twice, never responded my emails. To some point, it doesn't only show the mattress is in poor quality, it also shows it's a fraud. Overall, this was a very bad experience, bad experience of buying a poor product sold by them, bad experience using it, bad experience with their customer service and warranty department, bad experience finding out more problems along the way...I'm deeply disappointed with the business's issues of overcharging, fraud, selling a defective product to their customer. I won't buy any more products from them and would like to share this bad experience with others so they won't have to experience what I had. I wish their other customers with the similar experiences also share their stories here. Together, we learned better.I don't need any further response from the business. Thanks Revdex.com for being here for better business.

Review: My mattress begun sagging approximately one year after I received it on 03/**/2012. I called three times in attempt to exercise the warranty and have the mattress replaced. I was told that a company would contact me to inspect the mattress but I have yet to receive a call or visit for the inspection.Desired Settlement: Exchange of damaged mattress with comparable new mattress.

Case #: [redacted]On February **, 2011, [redacted] received delivery of a Kingsdown 200 series Blue/Red king size set mattress, box spring, king size bed liner and one set of king size sheets. On December **, 2011, [redacted] contacted our Customer Care Department with claims of the mattress sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the mattress. The inspection results revealed that the mattress did not meet the manufacturer’s guidelines and, therefore, was eligible for a warranty exchange. In accordance to the manufacturer’s warranty [redacted]’s store credit was reflective of the amount he invested in his mattress which was $826.70, plus tax. This enabled [redacted] to utilize his store credit towards any new mattress of equal or greater value. If the new merchandise is of greater value, he would have been responsible for the difference in price, plus tax. On July *, 2015, Sleepy's corporate office was surprised to receive this complaint from your office with [redacted]’s claims of not being contacted by the third-party independent inspection company. Unfortunately; Sleepy's warranty process does not entail a third-party independent inspector’s visit to the home. The consumer is provided with the necessary in-home self-inspection kit required to complete the inspection process by capturing the required measurements and photos. Our records indicate the consumer has been previously provided the in-home inspection kit since December **, 2014. To date we have no documented communication from the consumer into our Customer Care Department where all incoming and outgoing calls are recorded to advise non receipt of the self-inspection kit. At this time it is the consumer’s responsibility to utilize the contact information below to coordinate the release of a second mailing of the in-home self-inspection kit. If I may be of further assistance please contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

Review: Defective king size mattress two years old with high ridge down entire middle length of bed. Twenty year warranty. Sleepy's will not proceed with letter of credit so we can have them pick up their defective bedding and allow us to re- purchase non defective bedding. Multiple calls and emails. They won't budge - only offer in a discount on purchasing a replacement without honoring the warranty. We paid two thousand dollars for a high price item that is a total lemon. They will not stand by their products as claimed. We want the letter of credit in order to purchase a new mattress without major lumps and ridges.Desired Settlement: Letter of credit for entirety of initial payment. Sleepy's to pick up defective item once we receive such letter

Case #: [redacted]On May **, 2015, the consumer contacted our Customer Care Department with claims of the mattress sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, an in-home inspection kit was provided to the consumer. This enables the consumer to capture and depict the areas of their concern. This in-home self-inspection process is provided to all consumers in regards to warranty claims and requires completion to evaluate the merchandise in question.On June **, 2015, the consumer provided the required information to assist in the assessment of her mattress in accordance to the manufacturer guidelines. It revealed the consumer’s mattress was in fact performing up to the manufacturer standards. Therefore; pursuant to the manufacturer’s warranty the [redacted]’s request to exchange their mattress was denied (see manufacturer’s warranty). On June **, 2015, the consumer was contacted via phone by our Warranty Support Department where a detailed message was left asking the consumer to contact us directly at [redacted].On June **, 2015, an additional attempt was made to reach the customer and advise of the results of the in-home self-inspection. The consumer was attempted at ###-###-####, the number was no longer in service; the alternate number ###-###-####, was attempted and a detailed message was left. On June **, 2015, an another attempt to reach the consumer was made at ###-###-####, where the consumer was reached and advised the inspection detailed her merchandise performing up to the manufacturer standards. The consumer expressed her dissatisfaction advised she wanted to contest the results and requested a copy be mailed to her residence. This request was honored and a copy was mailed. On June **, 2015, the consumer phoned back into our Customer Care Department now with claims of the in-home self-inspection results being incorrect. [redacted] advised the representative that she was going to stop payment on the July 2013 purchase and requested an independent third-party be dispatched to her home. [redacted]’s request was honored. On June **, 2015, the consumer was contacted by the independent third-party inspection company and the inspection was scheduled for June **, 2015. The third-party independent inspection company delivered measurements that revealed that the mattress and box spring 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 (see attached). On July *, 2015, the [redacted]’s were contacted at )[redacted], where they were advised the merchandise is in fact performing up to the manufacturer standards and was not eligible for a warranty exchange at this time. As an alternative option the consumer was extended the option of accommodating pricing or a second inspection within a six (6) month time frame to allow additional body conformity. The consumer dissatisfied with the inspection results requested to speak with a supervisor. The member of our management team detailed to the consumer the required threshold of the warranty required by the manufacture which is a one and a half (1 ½) requirement; the offer of accommodating pricing was reiterated. The consumer requested to speak with the manager’s superior. On July **, 2015, the consumer contacted out Customer Care Department once again demanding a store credit reflective of her mattress purchase price. The consumer was reminded her merchandise was in fact performing up to the manufacture standards and a warranty exchange/store credit was unable to be offered. Dissatisfied with the results of both inspections the in-home self-inspection and the third-party independent inspection the consumer filed a complaint with your agency. On August *, 2015, a supervisor from our Consumer Relation Department attempted contact with the [redacted]’s and reached [redacted] where as an immediate resolve a partial credit in the amount of $600.00, plus tax was being offered in conjunction with accommodating pricing or the offer to re-inspect the merchandise in sixty-ninety (60-90) days utilizing the in-home self-inspection kit to confirm if any additional body conformity has occurred. [redacted] will like to review the offer and will follow up at a later time. If I may be of further assistance please contact Chanda N[redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

[Your Answer Here]

We are requesting a letter of credit to enable us to have the defective mattress picked up after we have purchased a reliable substitute mattress. 600 credit on a 2000 dollar defective item isn't fair. Why must we wait and re- do the inspection? We are forced to sleep on a lumpy bed with a hard ridge in the middle which spans the length of the bed. Sleepy's continues to promote itself as THE sleep professionals. They are good at sales and awful at customer support and satisfaction. We will continue to work towards a deserved full letter of credit, and expect Sleepy's to follow through in a timely manner. A 20 year warranty should support our complaints - we purchased our bed with the warranty as a major factor.

Case #: [redacted]Sleepy’s is in receipt of the rebuttal regarding [redacted]. While we are aware of the consumers dissatisfaction with the king size Kingsdown Ashleigh plush the merchandise has however; been inspected two (2) times, as mentioned in the previous response. One set of measurements were captured via the consumer by utilizing the in-home self-inspection kit. The measurements obtained did not capture or depict a manufacturer or structural defect. The second sets of photos/measurements were gathered via the neutral third-party independent inspection company, as the consumer requested. This also revealed, no manufactural and structural defects were present, identified or observed; and the bedding set did not meet the required threshold of a one inch and a half (1 ½). The [redacted]’s are requesting a store credit reflective of the mattress purchase price unfortunately; we are unable to honor the consumer’s request, unless a manufacturer or structural defect has been identified. In an effort to assist the consumer with an immediate resolve the offer of a store credit in the amount of $600.00, was extended the consumer has refused this offer via his rebuttal. It is suggested the consumer review his warranty card for clarity on guidelines of the manufacturer. At this time as the offer remains the same a store credit of $600.00, plus tax or a second inspection within the allotted time frame of sixty-ninety (60-90) days. To assist with the coordination of the second inspection or to assist with the accommodating pricing offer the consumer can contact me directly at ###-###-#### or [redacted].

We will only be satisfied with a full letter of credit for a seriously defective product . We are dismayed that we are being asked to wait yet another three months, at which time we have to repeat the self inspection kit from mattress marshals ( through Sleepy's ) We are disappointed to have the process drawn out over time when there could be an expedient response We are frustrated by Sleepy's prolonging satisfaction of true customer service on a high ticket item which carries with it 20 year warranty Both the company that manufactured the mattress and the mega company that sells the product should easily be able to expedite customer dissatisfaction and follow through in a timely manner . Ms Chandra N[redacted] and I have spoken ; the only recourse given us is the three month wait which we find ridiculous and frustrating .

Sincerely,

Review: I've purchased several beds from Sleepy's. I was sold a bed based on an assessment I completed in their store. It was more than I'd imagine spending but was convinced that because I spend a third of my day sleeping I shouldn't go for the cheapest product and if I wasn't satisfied I'd have a lifetime return policy. Needless to say my sleeping experience continued to deteriorate and I went take advantage of the guarantee that was promised at the time of purchase. After all, I spent approximately $3K on a bed this should last more than 2 years. I was turned down for the warranty because the bed didn't sink by 1.5 inches. Although I wake up with a sore back everyday, the bed didn't sink enough so I am stuck with the product. I spoke to a manager at the corporate office (Chris [redacted]) and shared my experience. After debating about how this isn't a Sleepy's issue and it's a manufacturing issue, I convinced him how poor of an explanation that was and that as a consumer I can easily buy my bed elsewhere. Why would I allow another certified assessment pick the wrong bed or allow to be deceptively advertised to. He told me to go to the store and pick out another bed, at that time, have the salesperson call and he would provide a substantial discount for the experience. I did just that, tried to find another bed (at Sleepys). I even tried to upgrade the bed from a different manufacture in hopes that I wouldn't have the same experience. I did all of this only to be told...that type of bed wasn't included in the offer. I was even laughed at, as if I were to know that this bed was an exclusion item. I can't imagine this is the service or reputation Sleepy's wants to be known for however maybe I am just one customer and life goes on. Nonetheless, I will let my voice be heard and allow another retailer benefit from the new bed purchase(s) for my family.Desired Settlement: Honor the original agreement when I purchased the bed and apply the amount I spent on this bed toward the purchase toward ANY bed you sell.

Case #: [redacted]On July **, 2015, the [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress purchased in October 2012 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty issue, an in-home inspection kit was provided to the consumer which enabled them to capture and depict the areas of their concern. The consumer’s submission was reviewed in accordance to the manufacturer guidelines and revealed the mattress and box spring in fact met the manufacturer’s standards and therefore was ineligible for warranty replacement. Pursuant to the terms of the warranty (see attached), Sleepy’s denied the [redacted] request for a warranty exchange. On October **, 2015, a member of our Customer Relations attempted contact and reached [redacted] where she detailed their complaint wholly. The consumer is aware the manufacturer requires the indentation to be one inch and a half or greater (1 ½) for a defective to be deemed however; the expressed concern was a described alleged hump in As you can understand, although customer satisfaction is our primary goal, Sleepy’s cannot process a warranty claim without documented defects. In the pursuit of Customer Satisfaction the manufacturer has been directly contacted and advised of the consumer’s concern in regards to the merchandise, we are currently awaiting their reply and will follow up with the consumer to advise of the manufacturer’s response. If you should require additional information or in need of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me Chanda N[redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted] to further discuss.

I have purchased a mattress from sleepy that the salesman recommended to me. He also recommended that I do not necessarily need a frame to the bed, the floor is more than enough for proper support. Little time after I have used the mattress it began to sink and the dents in the bed have become very unbearable. I have been recently sleeping on the floor rather than the bed. I called the sleepy's where I made the purchase and they again assured me that this specific brand of mattress has been recalled because of the defects it possess. I have been trying to make y insurance claim and it has been nothing but a head ache with the [redacted] company. I have only owned the mattress for a little over a year now and this problem has been going on for about a year now. This problem should have been solved a long time ago.

I purchased a bed and box spring from my neighborhood Sleepy’s hoping to do my part in supporting local business. I was told that there is a satisfaction guarantee policy for customers, that if I was not satisfied I could simply return the merchandise.

I liked the bed, but quickly realized that because I had purchased a loft bed frame (which comes with built in support), that I would not need the box spring.

I called the store (to let them know I’d like to return the box spring), and they told to call the 800 number, so I did. I called the 800 number and they told me I needed to call the store, so I did (again). I called the store back, and they told me to come in, so I did.

Talk about the runaround!! That right there is enough to complain about (but I won’t).

Post purchase, I quickly found out how "anti-customer" Sleepy’s return policies are.

What I was NOT told prior to my purchase was that, not only would I not be able to get my money back, or even a store credit, but that I could not even exchange the box spring for a pillow and a bedliner . I was then told there would be a “fee” to pick up the box spring. Are you kidding me? So not only am I losing money, but you’re charging me more??

Being the reasonable person that I am, I asked your customer service “can you simply just come and pick up the box-spring with no fee and it will be a wash”. I’ll eat the $92.57. Even that was not accepted by Sleepy’s.

Needless to say I am very disappointed with my Sleepy’s experience and I would not reccomend anyone do business with them.

Case #:

On October

**, 2013, [redacted]’s son [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s Customer Service Department claiming that the mattress received

in May 2013 was sagging. Since this was what would be a potential warranty

issue, we coordinated for an inspection of the merchandise. Sleepy’s dispatched

a third-party independent inspection company to [redacted]’s home, and the

inspection results revealed that both the box spring and mattress met the

manufacturer’s standards, and therefore did not qualify for a warranty

exchange. A copy of the inspection report was mailed to [redacted] on

November *, 2013.

Dissatisfied with the outcome,

[redacted] filed a complaint with your agency. On November **, 2013, our

Customer Relations Department contacted [redacted] expressed

her dissatisfaction that she has towards the mattresses. She also stated the body

impressions are still prominent in the mattress. [redacted] was offered

another inspection in sixty (60) days or the option of taking part in our

Satisfaction Assurance Plus program. The program would allow [redacted] to

exchange the mattress for a premium fee. [redacted] and [redacted] opted

for the exchange. [redacted] is scheduled to have delivery on November **,

2013.

Review: On February **, 2014, my Husband and I went to the Sleepy's store located at [redacted]. We left a $150.00 deposit for the Serta I-Series Firm King Mattress. The Customer Service Representative we were dealing with was [redacted]. He informed us that this particular mattress was one of their best sellers. We were advised to come in before March **, in order to finalize the purchase. The balance was paid on March [redacted]. I was told at that time that delivery would be on Sunday March **. Early the following week, we received a call from [redacted] stating that the mattress was discontinued and we needed to come in and pick a replacement. My Husband and I returned on March [redacted] and picked another mattress. Only when it was time to discuss the purchase price did [redacted] refer us to his [redacted]. She assured us that the mattress we initially wanted, the Serta I-Series would indeed be available for delivery on March **. On March [redacted] we received an automated confirmation for delivery on Sunday March **. On Saturday at 6:54, (A day before the scheduled delivery), we received a call from [redacted] at the warehouse saying the mattress was on backorder and MAY be delivered on Wednesday March **. At this point, I am disappointed in Sleepys promise to deliver the mattress. I was under the impression that when an order is placed, the warehouse knows then and there if an item is on backorder. To wait until the day before delivery is simply unacceptable. At this point, I have no faith that it will even be delivered on March **. Not to mention, the time spent/wasted picking out another mattress only to be told that it would be in stock and delivered on our original date. As a consumer I have many choices. I chose to do business with Sleepy's because I thought they were a reputable company. Now I am not so sure. In addition, I am starting to question if the "[redacted]" I was speaking to was actually a [redacted] and not another salesperson.Desired Settlement: I want the mattress that we picked out delivered.

Sincerely,

Review: I purchased a Sealy's mattress at Sleepy's in June 2006 under a 10-year warranty. Recently a mattress inspector found the mattress to be defective. The mattress is now discontinued and no longer manufactured. Sealy's warranty for purchases made After June 2003 states the following: "If identical materials are not available at the time of product service, Sealy reserves the right to substitute material of equal or higher value, or, at our option, provide a refund." I called Sealy's about the warranty but Sealy's said they cannot deal with me directly and that I need to contact Sleepy’s, the retailer. Sealy's said Sleepy's needs to contact the Sealy's representative covering Sleepy’s to request my refund. I called Sleepy's customer service several times regarding requesting a refund in writing from Sealy's, but Sleepy's has declined to cooperate. Several times Sleepy's customer service agents have either sent me or quoted me the Purchased Since 2008 Sealy’s warranty, which does not apply to my purchase date, or they have simply declined a refund. In sum, Sleepy's has declined to ask Sealy's for a refund on my behalf, despite the fact the warranty allows for a refund and as I consumer I am entitled to request it.Desired Settlement: I want Sleepy's to request in writing from Sealy's a refund for my specific mattress (Tag number, model number, etc.). Then, I would like to receive a copy of Sealy's written response letter to Sealy’s with reference my specific mattress. If Sealy's accepts my refund, then I want a check or a credit to my credit card. If Sealy's doesn't allow for a refund, then I want a 6-month extension to use my credit with Sleepy's instead of the 14-day credit I was issued. (The customer service agents I spoke to said a 6-month extension to use my credit is an option).

Case #[redacted]

On March *, 2014, [redacted] contacted Sleepy’s

Customer Service Department claiming that her Sealy mattress that was purchased

in June 2006 had workmanship issues. Since this was what would be a potential

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

party inspection company confirmed that the mattress did not meet the

manufacturer’s standards, Normally under these circumstances Sleepy’s provides an

even exchange or a store credit towards another mattress.

Upon receipt of the complaint filed with your office, our Customer Relations Department reached out to [redacted] and

reviewed the Sealy warranty, which states the following: “If identical materials are not available at the time

of product service, Sealy reserves the right to substitute material of equal or higher value, or, at

Review: I originally purchased my mattress at Sleepy's located at [redacted]. When I purchased the mattress, I was told that the warranty included a 10 yr. 100% money back guarantee and from 10-20 years it would be prorated it there is a covered warranty. In the past, I purchased all my mattresses from Sleepy's. I lived in New Jersey for 35 years , but I moved to Florida in 2013. ON September **, 2008, I received the mattress in this dispute. I contacted Sleepys in early July 2014 because my wife and I realized the mattress is sagging and not giving us the back support it should. We are both suffering from back pain and went to the Doctor for the pain. We both have had MRI's done that show there is back damage. Sleepy's sent a company called "Bed Check" to examine the mattress on July *, 2014. WE received a letter from Sleepy's stating that the mattress is deemed "Not Up to Manufacturer Standards".

I received a credit memo from Sleepys for $1,561.09 plus tax ($1,670.37). Along with this credit memo were unrealistic demands. I have to go to there show room, which there are none in Florida or order a mattress online. I cannot order a mattress online, I need to feel the mattress and buy the one that suits our backs.

I asked Sleepy's if they work with a local mattress dealer here in Florida that I could deal with. They said they do not work with anyone in Florida.

I feel Sleepys should send me a refund check for the credit memo I received so I can purchase the correct mattress for our backs. The doctor has given us a prescription for a mattress. When we purchased the mattress, we were told that there is a 10 year money back guarantee, now they want to make up rules as they go.

Sleepy's knows I now reside in Florida when they sent over the company to examine the mattress, why would they send me a credit memo that they know I cannot possibly redeem in their store.Desired Settlement: I want Sleepy's to send me a refund check for $1,670.37 as per the terms of the original sales money back guarantee warranty.

**, 2014, [redacted] was contacted by Sleepy’s Customer Relations Department regarding

At the time of purchase [redacted] lived in New Jersey. Now [redacted]

lives in Florida, where we do indeed have the capability to deliver her a new

mattress but do not have store fronts, in which [redacted] can try out

Review: Defective Mattress/boxspring. We purchased two mattress/box spring sets and within less then one year, the pillow top mattress on the one set is completely worn in the center, there is a crease that runs across the top of the mattress from side to side. You cannot sleep on either side of the mattress. This mattress is in worse shape then the mattress we replaced after owning for 12 years. We contacted Sleepy's because the mattress is under warranty. They sent an inspector out, who deemed that the mattress seemed defective and that it had a 2 1/4 inch dip in the center of the mattress and that in his opinion, should be replaced. He then inspected the Box spring on the other set and stated the wood frame was broken and should also be replaced. No one from Sleepy's contacted us after his inspection. We called Sleepy's customer service today (2 weeks after the inspection was done), they will not replace the Queen size mattress, but they will give me a $67.50 credit towards the full size box spring they no longer carry.Desired Settlement: I am not looking for a refund, I just want a replacement that we can sleep on. We paid over $2,000 and feel that we did not get the service or the quality we deserve.

Case #: [redacted]

On September **, 2014, the consumer contacted our Corporate Office with claims of the mattress she purchased in September 2013 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 box spring was broken and mattress was in fact performing up to the manufacture standards. Therefore, pursuant to the terms of the warranty, [redacted] was eligible for an exchange of the box spring only.

On October **, 2014, the consumer contacted our Customer Care Department and requested the results of the inspection. It was at that time the representative relayed the merchandise was performing up to the manufacturer standards. Dissatisfied with the results of the inspection the consumer filed a complaint with your office. At that time of delivery [redacted] received a copy of the manufacturer warranty which states in clear and concise language “Replacement of one piece does not automatically result in replacement of another piece”.

Even though the inspection determined that the mattress was not defective, Sleepy’s is still attempting to assist the customer by nonetheless offering:

1. Accommodating pricing which is a deep discount. As the cost of transportation is not covered in the manufacturer’s warranty, as an additional accommodation Sleepy’s is willing to absorb half of [redacted] transportation cost in the amount of $49.00. Once she selects replacement merchandise, an immediate delivery will be scheduled.

OR

2. A second inspection which will be completed by the consumer utilizing the in-home inspection kit we provide. This will enable the consumer to capture any area of the mattress that maybe her concern.

Since we have reviewed [redacted]’ complaint, we believe that no additional responses are required at this time. If the consumer opts to take advantage of any of the two available options she can reach out to me directly at the number provided below.

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:

The complaint was for TWO (2) mattresses (A FULL and A QUEEN). When evaluating the Full size mattress, it was determined that it wasn't the mattress but in fact the box spring was broken. HOWEVER, the second mattress (Queen size) was also defective and not preforming to standards and noted by the inspector they assigned.

I believe that Sleepys is only referring to the full size mattress that we agreed the box spring could be the problem since it was deemed defective/broken. I am still left with a defective Queen size mattress, that they will not respond to.

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

Response:

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.

Sincerely,

Review: In 2010, purchased Kings Down mattress set from Sleepy's in [redacted]. Spring of 2013, began to develop shoulder pain, back pain and general discomfort while sleeping. Contacted original salesman who directed me to warranty department. Department sent rep. to house for examination of mattress.Received letter shortly after that mattress was deemed to be "defective" and given credit for mattress. At store, told that I was no longer a new customer, so I am not given the discounts that new customers are given on mattresses. Also new mattresses require different box springs than the ones purchased in my "set", so I have to purchase those as well. All said and done, I would be charged $1100 on top of the approx. $1500 credit to replace the defective mattress. Outraged, I was directed to customer service. Customer service stated they couldn't help and sent to a supervisor. [redacted] claimed box springs were not defective so I'm not getting credit for them; eventhough they are not able to be used with a new Kings Down mattress. [redacted] stated he can give me a discount on the replacement mattress, but I can't expect to receive an even exchange for the "defective mattress". [redacted] then told me to buy the new mattress with the old style box springs. Salesman stopped him and told [redacted] that my box springs cannot be used with new mattress and that the new mattress with older box springs would cause additional back and shoulder pain because of support issues. [redacted] said I cannot expect to exchange "defective set" for a replacement set. Contacted Warranty support also. Warranty support reiterated [redacted] and made it very clear that "I am not a new customer anymore and cannot expect to get the discounts or benefits that new customers do". Also he furthered that "I" must understand that Sleepy's must remain profitable at all costs. Best part, before he gets off phone with me rep says: "By the way, whatever you choose to do, the Labor Day sale ends on Monday and your credit on the defective mattress only lasts six months"..Not a millimeter of care, understanding or attention to what occurred or what the issue was.Desired Settlement: Originally, I wanted the credit for the "defective mattress set" that I purchased so I could apply it to a new set. After experiencing the complete disrespect, lack of integrity/ professionalism and belittlement as a customer from this company, I am demanding a full replacement: Kings Down mattress of equal quality and 2 box springs at no cost at all. I have never felt or experienced such lack of care and professionalism from a company. I was treated like a complete worthless entity.I really would love to express my true feelings about the manner in which I was treated, but I am a professional and refuse to lower myself to those standards which obviously this company and their staff/[redacted]s operate.

If I am not satisfied in the above manner, I am keeping the "defective mattress set" and all documentation/ confirmation of such defect. My intensions are to proceed with this matter further through a local news channel that I am in constant contact with. I have already arranged to have this matter brought to an anchor specializing in broadcasting such issues. Obviously, I have secured legal advisory as well.

Case: [redacted]

Review: Sleepys and it's warranty personnel have not backed up the promises and commitments made to me from early November to this date Dec. **, 2013 and have continually not come to our home to look at the mattress and have not called us back as promised more than twice.

I purchased a $2,237.94 I-Series T Top KG set May **, 2012 at the [redacted] store. TV advertisements and the Sales man in the Seabrook store told me that Sleepys stands behind their products with the best 25 year warranty in the marketplace.

I weigh 165 lbs, my wife is 125 lbs. After several months we noticed deep depressions forming on both sides of the bed where we slept and we woke up with aching backs every morning. We then went to Florida for 5 months and returned to our NH home and bed. After sleeping on mattress and getting bad backs I called [redacted] as instructed to by the store personnel. SLEEPYS told me that I would have to speak with and arrange with a NON Sleepys company to come out and look at the mattress. I did speak to Mattress Marshalls who had me crawl under the bed to tell them type of support (Metal) how many slats to support the mattress (6) and they told me they would come out to my home in 3 1/2 weeks from our phone call.

I told them that we return to Florida at the end of December and we would like to have everything corrected before we leave. "Not to Worry". Mattress Marshalls told me that they don't get to NH that often and we would have to wait until December [redacted]. I waited and the evening of Dec. [redacted] I received a call from Mattress Marshalls that they could not be in [redacted] until January [redacted]. The reason was that the Mattress Marshall person got into a car accident several weeks prior and things had to be move back.

I inquired if there was more than one (1) person at Mattress Marshalls that comes out. The Mattress Marshalls person told me that YES, there is only the one (1) person who services NH.

I called [redacted] and spoke with a warranty person who said they were sorry, but, that's the best that can be done. I asked for my call to be elevated to a [redacted]. I was put on hold and a SLEEPYS person came on the phone stating that he was the [redacted]). After hearing the long dreadful treatment I was getting from SLEEPYS [redacted] assured me that he would get a warranty company out to my house within days and that he would call me back later that day or [redacted] of the next. [redacted] NEVER CALLED ME AT ALL. After waiting for days I again called SLEEPYS and asked to speak with [redacted]. No one knew who [redacted] was or "maybe he he isn't working today" was the answer I received.

I was put on hold again as SLEEPYS warranty personnel looked to locate a working [redacted] After 15 minutes on hold I got a dial tone. SLEEPYS had hung up on me. I again called SLEEPYS and asked to speak with a [redacted] After a 4 minute wait on hold a woman came on claiming she was a [redacted]and how could she help me. All she told was that there was a open ticket for warranty with my name on it.

After explaining why I bought from SLEEPYS and the months of suffering on the bed, the countless weeks trying to get SLEEPYS to live up to their commitments and warranties she told me that I had to work with Mattress Marshalls and wait for them to come out.

I told her that no where in the TV advertisements, no where durring the sales process, no where on the warranty that customers have to deal with a 3rd party after the sale.

If I or any customer understood that SLEEPYS sells and forgets you,, then no one would buy from SLEEPYS. In fact, my wife and I went to a SLEEPYS store in [redacted] to inquire about how best to call Mattress Marshalls. The salesman welcomed us until we told him why we were there at his store. He immediately turned his back to us, threw his hands in the air and told us that "he didn't know anything about Mattress Marshalls". He sat back down at his desk and without looking up told us to call [redacted].

I wish to have any company doing business to back up what they sell and live up to what they promised.Desired Settlement: I want to have SLEEPYS contact me and arrange for this defective returned to SLEEPYS and a different one of my selection to replace it. If there any upgrade charges that are acceptable to me I will promptly pay them.

Case:

On May

**, 2012, [redacted] purchased a Serta king size mattress and split low

profiles box springs from Sleepy’s. On December *, 2013, [redacted] contacted

Sleepy's Customer Service Department claiming that his mattress was defective.

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

inspection of the merchandise. On December **, 2013, [redacted] contacted Sleepy's

Customer Service Department regarding his delayed inspection date. Unfortunately,

area where [redacted] resides has limited amount of inspection appointments

available. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay has caused [redacted].

Upon receipt of the complaint

filed with your office, our Customer Relations Department made contact with [redacted] on January *, 2014. Sleepy's reiterated the reason for the delay. [redacted] explained that he would be at his [redacted] home until May. We apologized

to [redacted] for the delay and offered to compensate him with a set of

sheets. [redacted] accepted this offer and will schedule the inspection

appointment for when he returns to the home where the mattress in question is

located. The king size sheet set will be received at [redacted] residence

anytime within two weeks after January *, 2014.

Since

we have satisfactorily resolved [redacted]’ complaint, we believe that no

further action is required. If you need any additional information please

contact [redacted] at [redacted] 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:

My complaint with SLEEPY'S is not resolved or settled. All they said on the phone call was that SLEEPY'S was sorry but I will have to wait until June of 2014 to have a person come to my home in ** to look at the mattress. They however told me that they are sending me sheets to make amends. I spent $2,000.00 on a faulty mattress and they think a pair of sheets is going to make me satisfied.

Please leave this case OPEN until the mattress is examined and a new one received.

Thank you,

Consumer

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 purchased the $2,000 + mattress from Sleepy's and was told by Sleepy's that Sleepy's was the company that gives the warranty and stands behind the warranty. Now that the sale is done and monies have been paid to Sleepy's, Sleepy's is stating that they are no longer involved or responsible for any and all parts of the warranty. Sleepy's is stating that once the sale is over a little no name "third party" is responsible for my 25 year warranty that I paid dearly for.

I will deal with Sleepy's directly upon my return to my home in [redacted]. Currently all we can do now is push Emails back and forth to each other. I suggest my complaint be put on stand-by until I return to **.

I have told Sleepy's and I have told NYRevdex.com that I am in [redacted] until mid May 2014. I do not know where Sleepy's sent sheets to, in a insignificant way to try to state they are doing the right thing by me and my wife. I told Sleepy's in early January 2014 that I would be in [redacted] until mid May. I hope I don't return to my home in [redacted] and find wet and dirty sheets thrown on my front door steps from January 2014.
