    I have a Sealy King size mattress and the dimensions are wrong. Per Sealy the mattress should be 79 x 76, my mattress is 77 x 75. Sheets don't fit properly. The problem is that I am well outside the warranty period because I could not use the mattress which was in an apartment without a functioning bathroom. Only in December was I able to use the apartment and sleep on the mattress. When I tried to put fitted sheet on the mattress, it did not fit. So, I finally measured the mattress and discovered that the dimensions were not what they're supposed to be.

    I called the store where I purchased the mattress and they simply state that I am out of the warranty period and have no claim. Sealy, on the other hand, agrees that the mattress dimensions are wrong but "per company policy the third party that sold the mattress has to handle the claim." So, I am up the proverbial creek. I should have looked at reviews before. Consumer Affairs shows at customer rating of 1.2 out of 5. Would I buy another Sealy mattress? Absolutely not.

    They tell you when you pay $2500 for a mattress there is a 10 yr warranty. They will not honor it. First if it isn't a certain measurement they will not replace no matter the dip. Then when you get to the measurement the least amor of discoloration after 7 yrs of use makes the warranty void. They expect to get a spotless mattress back after 7 yrs of use. They never intended to honor the warranty.

    I ordered a Sealy mattress and canceled the order before it shipped and was still charged 185.50 for shipping. I received a email saying it was canceled and then another email saying it was shipped and another saying how do you like your mattress. Horrible, dishonest company to do business with. They also put a different mattress on email than what I ordered and canceled. Beware very shady!

    I bought this mattress this past year in November of 2023 and when we put it on the bed frame it already looked like it had been slept on. It was sinking on both sides where someone would lay. I thought it was my imagination so I just said sleep on it and see how it sleeps. The first night it slept worse than my 30yr old mattress. I thought, "What’s going on" so I’ve been giving it a chance since then and it’s getting worse. It’s sunken down right where I lay. I paid somewhere around a $1,000 for this mattress that really needs to go to the dump. It’s awful.

    Do not fall into the same marketing scam that we fell into, thinking that it is the best investment to buy a Sealy. We bought the medium-firm mattress since both me and my husband have lower back pain. Let’s just say that we end up sleeping on our couches every night due to intense back pain. The mattress started showing denture where we sleep since the 4th month of purchase. Now we are stuck with two expensive queen mattresses and are unable to purchase new ones, let alone trust another company.

    I have had an unfortunate experience with Sealy Canada. My mattress arrived with a yellow stain. I contacted Sealy and their only response was to reach out to the store from which I purchased it. Sealy has not made any effort whatsoever to resolve the issue. This is a big purchase and needless to say, the experience has been horrible. Given the competition, look elsewhere for your next mattress.

I would not recommend this brand of mattress to anybody. I suffer with a lower back pain. And this mattress just intensifies it.

    Read the very fine print. They will not let you return the foundation. It is not part of the 90 night trial period. If you decide you don't like the mattress, they will charge you $125 restocking fee for the mattress and if you bought a foundation you will not be refunded $350 and will have to keep the foundation. You will lose $475. They will pick up the mattress and LEAVE. The foundation will not be picked up. This is ridiculous. I will never use Sealy again.

    I purchased a Sealy King Size Albany Medium Hybrid Mattress for over $2000 in August 2022. In May 2023, we found a large 6-inch + seam rip on the mattress. We called the local furniture store, and they said Sealy did not warranty this and offered to send someone out to stitch it closed. I called Sealy and was told, "Sorry, we can do nothing about this. We don't warranty a seam rip." ARE YOU SERIOUS? I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A SEALY AGAIN. YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER. This mattress and Sealy show poor quality, warranty, and lack of service. How horrible to be stuck with this expensive mattress that will obviously not last the promised amount of time.

    We recently purchased two Sealy beds and box springs from Mattress Firm (online). Less than six months ago. Delivered Nov. 2022 - in a dumpster May 2023. I am a 6' 210 pound man. About a week ago, I sat down on the side of my new bed as I've done my entire life to get ready to go to sleep. As I sat down, there was a pop noise and now my new mattress is deformed. I tried multiple times to contact Mattress Firm for a warranty claim. We've gone back and forth several times, but it keeps coming down to a "law tag" on the end of the bed that isn't there. Their final word is no law tag, no warranty. I did not remove any tags from our new beds. There is no, and was no "law tag" on these mattresses. And they have full records online when and where I purchased our mattresses. So, they are fully aware they are new!

    Mattress Firm and Sealy refuse to help us and warranty their defective mattress. I never removed any tag from this mattress. When I contacted Sealy I was told this tag (attached photo) was just as good as the law tag. Mattress Firm says no, it's not and they will not warranty our mattress. I simply can't believe the ** run around I've gotten from Mattress Firm and Sealy over this defective mattress. Okay, well it looks like I've lost over a thousand dollars for a less than six month old mattress. I fully intend to go to each and every review site and post my experiences with Sealy and Mattress Firm. With pictures.

    I noticed I'm not the only one with this issue. As I posted my complaint with the BBB. I saw several other posts there with the exact same complaint. (Posted on the BBB website by the BBB) "Sealy has an A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau. Most complaints are about issues with the brand's warranty after needing replacements, and some customers who received defective mattresses." So, if you're reading this researching mattress brands or reputable retailers to buy from... In my opinion, Sealy and Mattress Firm are the worst! They manufacture and sell defective products they refuse to stand behind. I imagine it's because covering all the warranty claims would most likely put them out of business.

    I purchased a mattress while it was on sale like 4 weeks ago. After 2 weeks it never shipped. I called and they said to wait one more week and reach out to them if it never ships. Without realizing 2 weeks go by. I give them a call, only to find out that around week 3 they cancelled my order and no one can figure out why. So now if I want to reorder, I have to order at full price, and after waiting for weeks they wouldn’t even give me expedited shipping.

    Purchased Sealy's top of the line mattress though Big Lots. Sagged within 6 weeks. Big Lots had me go to Sealy, who finally sent an inspector out, who verified the mattress was defective. I called Sealy back (they NEVER reach out to the customer). There's no number to call the warranty dept, so you always have to go through customer service, and explain the entire situation to them, and plead to be transferred to the warranty department. This takes 30-45 minutes just to get to the warranty dept. Once there, I'm told they will replace my mattress, with the SAME model, which makes no sense, since it sagged immediately, and reviews of my model all say the same.

    Then I'm told, if I pick out any other mattress, I'll be paying extra (they won't tell me how much), and no matter what, I have to pay another $140 delivery fee and a $65 disposal fee!! Sealy tries very hard to make you give up. Every time they tell you to send something, and you do that, they make you jump through another loop, all of which accomplishes nothing at all! Meanwhile, 6 months of hassle has gone by, while my back is hurting and my sleep is awful. I wish Sealy would just help me by giving me options of a different mattress in the same category. They won't. I highly recommend you avoid this company altogether.

    Actually this furniture store is glove in hand to this fraud. Ashley furniture store is from where we bought this mattress. The sales rep had told us if you don't like the mattress you can always return it. Within 4 nights we started experiencing discomfort, back pain and above all too hot to sleep on this hybrid mattress. We called Ashley, they asked us to call Sealy, we went back and forth for couple of hours. Sealy people told us you have to use it for 30days only then you can ask them to take it back. Now after 30days when we ask them for return they say, "You cannot return it, you can only exchange it." We didn't even sleep on that mattress. It's brand new now, and above all how can you force someone to buy your brand who has lost confidence in your brand.

    This is not the experience we are looking at. When you go to buy any mattress you lie down it to check how you feel, in a few minutes you can't decide, especially when sales representatives are trying to forcefully convince you just so that they get their incentives. Above all, why are these sales representatives doing unethical selling. Since when did returns become a big headache and causing stress in life. My wife is stressed out coz sealy is not only trying force us to buy the mattress but also trying to fork out $3000 for the mattress.

    Updated on 05/27/2022: I have reached out to Sealy, providing more pictures than they requested in an attempt to get them to honor their mattress warranty. I was told they have to be manipulated to be sized small or they can’t receive them; that many customers have a problem with this but it is not Sealy’s problem, it is the customer’s; they expect me to call to see if they have the pictures otherwise who knows when they might get to it, and the list goes on.

    My mattress is CLEARLY collapsing on one side near where you would lay your head/shoulders. I have sent them both pictures and videos showing them this, using a level to show how far this had collapsed (2 inches), yet I must send more and call them to see if they receive it. They refuse to let me send anything while I am on the line with them to confirm their receipt as they “don’t have time” for that. Even though their online warranty claim form states they might have to send someone out to your home to check the mattress, box springs, and frames, the warranty department says they don’t do this. Don’t purchase a Sealy mattress if you want to get a quality product by a honest company that backs their warranty. Clearly this company provides neither!

    Original Review: Purchased a Sealy queen mattress, foundation, and box springs in 2017. One side is clearly collapsing and Sally is playing the game of asking for the same information again and again, even though it has been sent. This is a case of not only an indentation of more than 2” in the shoulder area but also one where the side of the mattress has clearly buckled. I have sent all of the pictures they have requested and then some, along with videos, and copies of the receipt, yet they continue to send emails requesting the same, exact pictures that have been sent. The emails appear to be a “form letter” as it doesn’t vary.

    I have sent six emails with pictures and letters (all of which show successfully sent on my end) in addition to what was sent originally with the claim application. Yet here I am with the same email from Sealy again! Simply put, Sealy is giving me the runaround so as not to honor their warranty. DO NOT PURCHASE A MATTRESS FROM SEALY. IT IS A POORLY MADE PRODUCT WITHOUT AN HONORABLE WARRANTY.

    If I could do minus stars I would. Bought mattress from Mancini in Gilroy ca. 2017. Was good for about a year. Was not aware there was a 10 year warranty until recently. Went through the process of having measuring guy come out. I know indentation was 2 inches. Got result no chance of replacement. Said because I used old box springs. What crap that was. Never suggested I should buy new one for warranty to hold up. Just bogus answer. I wanted to upgrade and also buy a different one for another bedroom. Stay away from this company.

    First mattress lasted about 4 years. I knew it was time to replace it when I rolled out of bed and the dresser stopped my fall after my face smacked it. It was "on sale" $600. I thought maybe I need to buy a better mattress? So they warrantied it, doubled what we spent, $1200 plus tax. Not even 3 years later, it's junk again. BUT, the place we bought it from said "it wasn't bad enough yet" to replace yet. Huh? My back hurts, we're not talking body impressions, we're talking sagging. They blamed it on Sealy. Why? They're so strict, so I reached out to Sealy. I got the automated response, no customer support after. Bottom line, Sealy has a 10 year warranty. In less than 7 years I need to be on my third mattress. But they won't honor their warranty. Only conclusion, stay away.

    I bought a mattress topper to try and mask the imperfections. I fully intend on waiting them out and telling them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. BUT, I want a refund, I want to buy something else from a manufacture who will stick behind their warranty, not hide behind excuses. NEVER buy a memory foam. You need to stick with coil and springs, screw one sided mattress also. Last mattress was from Verlo. 2 sided. It made it 15 years no issues. All I can do is warn you.

    They'll look for ANY excuse. If, your box spring only has 4 support boards? You voided your warranty because you only had 4. It has to have 5. No staining! Your mattress is stained. No kidding. Would that be from the drink I spilled while in bed, or from the chocolate ice cream I spilled. Changing the crap factory's diaper on the bed? Stained, no warranty. Any excuse. Sealy, shame on you. I guess water, ice cream or whatever ruins the memory foam.... Sure it does.

    The purchase of a Sealy Mattress had a 10 warranty attached to the details. Upon reaching the 5 year mark, the product showed a significant sag in the middle of the pillow-top mattress. The manufacturing company was notified as was the furniture company where the product was displayed and sold. The Sealy company has a putrid aire about their Customer Service Dept. (as validated by the high number of negative/similar complaints posted on the internet).

    With over a month of providing pictures, exchanging purchase proof, and speaking with no fewer than five agents, the ball has failed to move off of square one; we're exactly where we started or left off. Hence, the serious complaint about; a) breach of contract and, b) fraud and, c) interstate fraud and, d) failure to meet a good faith agreement and, e) warranty of merchantability. To this, I would strongly suggest any person considering the purchase of any mattress be advised and 'buyer beware.'

    I purchased a double box spring and mattress for my son in 2012. I also made sure to get the suggested bed frame and mattress cover to ensure the mattress was protected and that there would be no issues with the warranty if there were any issues in the future. My son was in his twenties at the time so no jumping on the bed or anything like that. After four years I was changing the bed one day and noticed the stitching had come out of part of the bed about two thirds of the way around and the thread was just hanging there and the bed was open.

    It would take pages to detail what we had to go through with Sealy to get that mattress replaced. It took months of back and forth and practically begging - pictures, explanations, original receipt, we had to physically cut a label out of the mattress and send it - it was bizarre and RIDICULOUS. They were unpleasant to deal with and made it very difficult. Eventually they did replace the mattress. Now four years later the mattress is sagging so badly I can hardly believe it. It is still under warranty but I would rather buy another brand than go through that again for another garbage mattress.

    I'm so put out that a company can hide behind a warranty/setup guide to keep from making a product right. We paid for set up and delivery of our new mattress. Their employees are the ones who set up the mattress set. We paid extra to have it set up right because a mattress set is not just a purchase it's an investment. The company is hiding behind a 4 slat verses 5 slat rule in the warranty/setup guide to keep from replacing or refunding us for a king size mattress set that is less than a year old. The mattress is sagging deep on both sides and a hill in the middle of the mattress. We're out almost $2,000, which will be much more since it looks as if we'll have to buy another mattress set.

Upgraded to supposedly top mattress "The Crown Jewel". 3rd mattress, The Crown Jewel", inner coils and support collapsed after 3 months. The Crown Jewel mattress pillow top has enough stretch to mask the impressions, which must be greater than 1.5" to qualify for a warranty claim. The mattresses all have been cared for with new box springs each time, new mattress covers, and were only used by one 6'2", 205 lb senior.

It's been over 30 years, and the mattress is only now starting to show signs of 'wear'; honestly! There is no indentation in the mattress; still firm; no backache or other discomfort. Flipping the mattress every 6 months, may play a key role in it's longevity.
