    I purchased this mattress in 2004. Since that time, the bed has developed sagging of greater than 4 inches, the sides are bulging. I contacted the place where I purchased the bed. I filed a complaint form. They sent out an inspector and then 10 days later, I received a letter stating the mattress is stained and they cannot replace the mattress and are voiding the warranty. The mattress is not stained and in attempt to not honor their warranty, they used a blanket unsanitary condition to void the warranty, while their warranty has not defined unsanitary condition. Mattress cost was $3,699. I have developed arm and hand numbness only when I sleep. It wakes me up constantly. It is painful but it goes away when I get out of the bed.

    We had a mattress from Sealy & it went bad so after many many months of trying to get ahold of someone we were actually able to get a replacement mattress. However, we were not able to order it from a Sealy store directly but had to order it from the warehouse instead. Now you have to understand that when dealing with Sealy, you can not talk to them in person,but everything has to be done via email. So this process to get someone to confirm that there was even a problem took forever, but also to get the OK to get a new one. We did however get 500.00 to put towards the new mattress. After we picked out a mattress at a local store, we then ordered one through the warehouse and once we got it, it was not what we had tried in the store. It was to be a foam mattress that conforms to your body and unless you weigh about 400 lbs, it is not going to conform to anyone's body. It is hard as rock and we have done everything from jumping, walking and rolling over the entire mattress to soften it up. It has been about 1 year and I have not been able to sleep in this bed because when I lay down, my feet are elevated. We have tried to email them but they refuse to email back and I even notified the BBB and they replied back stating that Sealy will not respond to their requests either. There is no way to contact Sealy in person. I will never purchase their products again and we have 6 beds in our home.

    High end Stearns & Foster, subsidiary of Sealy, mattress purchased '05 for my daughter who has scoliosis. Defect, sink hole, in mattress apparent after 6mos. Mattress & box carry 10yr 'warranty'. Sales slip misplaced 'til 11/08. Macy's retailer called after slip found & co. rep inspected mattress & found small 'stain' that voided warranty dispite measurements that confirmed defective mattress. Macy's will not honor warranty.... in no area on original mfg. warranty card are stains mentioned. Minor wear & tear is cause for voiding warranty & SUPERCEEDES STRUCTURAL DEFECT. BEWARE OF MACY'S & ALL PRODUCTS MFG'd BY SEALY CORP!!!! Their product warranty is smoke & mirrors. NO PROTECTION FOR CONSUMER. How long will this injustice be tolerated? I am headed to Small Claims Court, where I believe I will only recieve the satisfaction of a moral victory.

    We purchased a Sealy Posturepedic True form King Visco Memory foam mattress from Raymour and Flanigan on 5/26/07 and began using the mattress in 6/07 upon moving to our new home. Within a month of use, we experienced an unlevel distribution of the foam, as it slanted to one side. Called the store and they sent a representative with a rope with a weighted end to evaluate the situation. They claimed that there was not a 2 1/2 inch dip in the center to warrant a new unit.

    We purchased the Sealy Right Touch mattress and bed 12/30/06 picked it up on 1/5/07. Worked fine until around August 2008 when one side began to lose air. Sept 2008 contacted American Furniture 4800 ELMORE AVE DAVENPORT, IA.
    We were told to contact Sealy directly as Sealy doesnt allow them to troubleshoot their mattress. They gave us 1-866-237-8233. After quite a length of time. We did get ahold of them and they asked us to troubleshoot with them. We did everything they wanted us to check and tech stated he would send out new hoses. We recieved the new hoses 10/5/2008 and installed them and the bed still deflated as before. Tried calling them back at Sealy left our phone numbers multiple times and no one called us back. Called American again explained what has been going on CS rep said she would get someone from Sealy to call us back right away. Several hours later got a call back and spoke with Robin who again started at the beginning on troubleshooting the mattress again. Which meant taking it all apart again. He had us disconnect the hoses and see how long it took for the bed to deflate. And gave us his direct line 336-861-3933. When we called him back phone just rings most of the time. Called American back talked to Krista who said she was the manager and just tells us to keep trying to get ahold of them. This bed came with a 10 year warranty but unfortunately no one from Sealy or American will resolve this issue. As a disabled fireman with a proshetic leg and bad back this is causing great distress. Not to mention the stress involved. Sincerely, Mike and Tammy Whitmer

    My husband and I purchased a Sealy mattress in 2000 from Room Source. It came with a 10 year full replacement warranty. A few years ago, I believe in 2005, we had it replaced due to sagging. The first time we had it replaced, we went through Room Source and had to make several phone calls because they were trying to just give us a credit for the original amount we paid for the mattress. However, the closest model to our original was more expensive in 2005 than what we had originally paid. We argued that the original mattress came with a full replacement warranty and simply giving us a credit and expecting us to pay more for a replacement was not exactly fullfilling the warranty. Eventually, we settled the matter and received a new mattress delivered to our door without having to pay anything more than what we originally paid. In June, 2008, we had an inspector come look at our mattress again (this is our replacement mattress) due to sagging. It was determined again that the mattress was defective and we qualified for a new mattress. However, at this same time, Room Source was filing for bankruptcy and refused to cover our claim. Thus, we sent all paperwork directly to Sealy. They agreed to replace the mattress with a similar model but would only deliver it to us if we paid for the cost of delivery. Thus, we had to pay $120.00 for them to deliver a new mattress because the one we had was defective. My complaint is that I don't think I should have to pay anything. I think that a full replacement warranty means that the company is responsible for replacing a defective product. It should not be my responsibility to pay because their item failed. I want my money back. Also, they wanted to charge me an additional $60.00 to remove the old mattress. I declined to pay that and so now I have to deal with the inconvience and cost of discarding their defective product. I am very disturbed by Sealy's lack of customer service and lack responsibility that they are taking to fulfill their warranty. I think this may very well be my last Sealy purchase.

    I purchased a Sealy mattress from Sears and am now having trouble with exchanging it under the warranty. I noticed that the tag that is sewn on the mattress says it was manufactured on 06/12/03 my sales slip says that the mattress was delieved to my house on on 06/11/03. Is Sealy making mattresses and sewing tag with a later date? That's one thing with this mattress. The other thing is the mattress that is under warranty has been discontinued. The warranty is for 5 year no charge replacement. I did find one that was another name same everything but Sears is saying I would have to pay the difference in what I paid for the 1st one. I was told every couple of years they discontinue them How is someone to get the same mattress under warranty? The Sears exchange dept. I've been dealing with is 1-800-549-6178 Please let me know how Sealy can put those tags on the mattresses. Thank You

    I filed a claim for a mattress that has a 10 year warranty. A co. came to do an inspection on the bed and Sealy has denied our claim. They DID agree to replace the box spring though we did not put a claim in for that. I assume because it squeaks. The method in inspecting the bed was not in any way sufficient for discovering the condition of the mattress. This was a thousand dollar mattress. I would like Sealy to stand behind their product and replace this mattress.Even to the naked eye the sink holes that they call indentions from sleeping can be easily seen. Then to add insult to all of this Sealy states that the remainder of our warranty is voided due to a stain on the mattress. This discoloration was due to a medication I was previously taking and in my opinion not only can they not reuse this mattress, but this is merely an excuse for not standing behind their product.


    My wife has connective tissue disease, FMS, and other health conditions that require not only a good nights sleep but also support. This bed is a constant source of pain.

    Mattress purchased Oct 2004 from Mattress Warehouse,
    Raynham, MA.

    10 Year Warranty on Mattress

    Mattress failed, developed a large crater, it was not holding shape.

    Contacted MW Oct 2006.

    MW Sight unseen declared Mattress unsanitary and stated there was nothing that could be done.

    November 12th wrote letter to Sealy after researching warranty rights on line and the Sealy Company.

    November 28th received same response from Sealy that due to health concerns for their workers there was nothing that they could do.

    We purchased a new mattress from a different company, took delivery Dec 17th 2006

    December 29th, filed claim with the Taunton MA District small claims court.

    January 2007 phone call from Sealy.

    Asked if we wanted a replacement mattress, stated we had already purchased a replacement mattress. Sealy stated in an intimidating tone, that they had no choice but to turn it over to their legal department.

    March 7, 2007 first and only court date.
    We spent the morning at the court house, after many hours preparing to state our case. Sealy did not show.

    Default judgment was given for us.

    Payment review scheduled for 04/09/2007
    We went to the court house.

    Sealy did not show. Sealy has ignored the court and the judgement

    We now possess a Capias (Civil Warrant of Arrest) for the defendant. Expires 04/29/2008
    We called a constable in Taunton, they informed us they need a Ma office to serve the warrant.
    We have looked hard for a Sealy Massachusetts office with no results so far.

    We are looking for help in what steps to take next.

    Additional Information:

    The Warranty documentation does refer to Heavily Soiled Mattresses not being covered? We have many pictures that show that this mattress looks like new and is not lightly soiled. This tactic taken by Sealy is insulting and intimidating. There strategy demonstrated to be aligned from the corporation and their distributors is irresponsible.

    The Sealy Mattress product is inferior and their warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on.

    We purchased a Sealy mattress less than one year ago. It has a limited ten year warranty. After six months we began to feel significant sagging beneith our bodies. We are of normal weight and size. Nine months later there was a dramatic warp visable on the side of the mattress.

    A independent party arranged by Sealy, was sent out to inspect. The individual who looked at it, worked full-time for Jordans (where we purchased the mattress.) I don't believe he could be unbiased. He found our nine year old box spring to be the problem, and suggested several remedies which all included spending more money. He found depressions of 2 and a buckle on the side. No stains and proper frame support (except that our box spring is nine years old.) Claim #244232, though I have not seen his report yet.

    Jordans claims that Sealy must accept the mattress as defective to get any remediation. Sealy representives claim that the warranty is not covered unless it is supported by a Sealy box spring, or equivalant.

    Was given the impression that their prices were better because it was coming direct from Sealy (based on the name of the store), but I found the same beds cheaper at other retailers in the area. Why would they claim to be Sealy Factory Direct if their pricing is no better than any other store that sells Sealy? Seems like false advertising to me.

    In January of this year I purchased a Queen Size Sealy Mattress from JC Penny in Northridge, California. After 3 months use and the sole person using this mattress if made a complaint / claim thru their customer serive dept. This mattress cost over $1100.00. An inspector came and his report stated my claim as denial as to two factors. (1) the mattress met guidelines of only 1 inch as it would have had to have 1 1/2 in. depression. (one person using this and the mattress sags in the middle, even after said mattress has been flipped) and (2) there was a stain which according to the manfacture voids out my warranty , But the stain is at the lower side portion of said mattress and it is only cosmetic as stains can be removed. A sagging mattress in the middle by a sole user after only 3 months clearly states to me that there is a default in the quality of said mattress.


    This mattress and box spring set was purchased in January, 2003 and paid for in full. I had this mattress set to replace a previously one after 18 plus years. I do not like having a sunk in middle in this bed and it is not confortable to sleep. It has taken me some time to acquire the funds to made this purchase without charging it. I feel my needs and concerns are not met. All that I wish for is a new set, one that is not defected.

    About six months ago, my wife and I, bought a Sealy mattress from the store, Tops Appliance City. It has been only six month's since we bought the mattress and already we have abnormal indentations on both sides of the mattress which is bothering me and my wifes back. When we bought the mattress we recieved instructions on how to flip and rotate it in order for the best feel, we have followed the instructions and still experience back pains.

    We are sure it is from the mattress because the only time we feel the pain is when we wake up from sleeping and we know that the indentations that are on both sides are not normal because they are greater than 1-1/2 and the warranty that came for this mattress states this as a qualification for repair or replacement.

    We have a warranty for ten years for this mattress. I have tried to contact Sealy Mattress Company for more than five time to see what they can do to solve this problem, but they transfer me to a answering machine saying that they will call back but they never do. The back pains me and my wife are experiencing from the mattress are getting worse and we feel that something must be done to fix this problem.


    Both my wife and I have experienced bad back pains from the mattress. And the customer service the Sealy Mattress Company provides is one of the worst I have seen and is basically useless, because no customer service is provided. It is very stressful.
