Bought a Simmons Beauty (Ugly) Rest mattress in February. In about two weeks it started sagging. Called Godwin’s Furniture - they send tech out. They say it is not bad enough. It is Not the same mattress we test in store. Godwin’s manager is failing to contact us. Reporting this to Consumer Affairs and Better Business Bureau. The mattress feels like you are sleeping at a cheap motel. Feels like I am getting sick. My body is all ache as if I am getting the flu after a night of rest - Lol.

I GIVE UP!! I bought a Simmons Beautyrest from Mattress Firm and I have been trying to get a tear in the seam fixed, only to find out that warranty does not cover that. It is definitely a defect in the manufacturing of the mattress, but NO ONE wants to cover it. My only recourse left is to say, "I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND SIMMONS COMPANY TO ANYONE."

My mattress sags like everyone else noted. I had Simmons out to inspect and they would not honor the warranty because the large crinkly tag by my head had been removed. I had the mattress a little of a year and can barely sleep on it. I have the receipt and the tag. Please contact me if you have had a similar situation.

I purchased this mattress about a year and half ago and paid about $1500 for it. I noticed right away it is much softer than in the store. I decided to give it a try. With time, it has gotten to where there is no support. The middle sinks in. Where ever you sit or lay sinks down several inches. It's like you are sitting in a hole. I plan on putting in a complaint for a defect. Can anyone who went through he process give any advice? What do they check for? What should I be looking for? Has anyone had success in getting a new mattress or refunded? There is no way this bed has the same consistence as the model and the materials to make it are questionable. My email is ** for any advice in how to pursue this. Thank you.

I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest about 5 years ago. And when the mattress was around 3 years old, I started noticing an indentation. Keep in mind I am 111 pounds. As a result, I decided to rotate the mattress so I could sleep on the other side. Now the other side has a hole, dip and I wake up with an aching back. Because I can't afford a new mattress, I've resorted to purchasing a foam topper but this didn't help with the hole so I put a pillow in between the mattress and box spring. I'm just so disappointed with the quality of this mattress. I will never purchase a Simmons product again.

I have had my Simmons pillow-top mattress for just over 3 years. I started to notice a dent in the middle of the bed after about 2 years, but thought it would get no worse. Well, a year later and the dent is "the worse the inspector has ever seen" and I wake up with a stiff neck everyday. I went to Ashley Furniture where I bought the bed and they had my purchase on file in their computer system, never asking if I had removed the tags. We had to waste everyone's time by having an inspector come out and spend a half hour taking pictures of the mattress from every angle (knowing full well when he saw the tags removed that I was out of luck.) I was feeling confident that I would be able to get a new mattress UNTIL I got the call the next day..... I had cut the huge annoying TAGS off the bottom of the mattress! I explained that the tags said they could be removed by the consumer, to which the rep replied, "But did you keep them? Without them, the warranty is invalidated and there is nothing we can do." Lesson learned -- KEEP THE TAGS ON YOUR BED!

Purchased a Simmons (King Bryanna Plush) 1.5 yrs ago for over $2,000. I am angry with myself for not sending it back to the store the very next day. It is noticeably higher in the center and we have to sleep on the very edge. It doesn't at all compare to the store sample. Now, after one and a half years, I feel like I'm sleeping in a ditch and can feel the coils. Wish that I had my old mattress back. My $500-$600 mattresses of the past were much more comfortable... even after 10 years. After procrastinating for so long, I finally called the customer service tech. He is coming next week.

Mattress no longer provides needed support to hips resulting in severe pain and sleeplessness. Mattress sinks/sags approximately 4-5 inches or more when I lay down (I only weigh 150 lbs). Pain goes away as soon as I get up. Warranty applies only if "surface" sags 1 1/2" or more, no one laying on it. I'm screwed. Started when mattress was approximately 2 years old and has progressively worsened to where I have to sleep on the couch to get any rest at all. I purchased for $2,500 from Sleep Train and they have told me there is nothing they can do for me.

After having a mattress 15 years, it was time for a new one. I purchased from American Freight in Ann Arbor MI. another brand first, that within a week sank, so they replaced it. I chose to upgrade to a FIRM Beautyrest for my bad back, thinking the Beautyrest would be worth the extra money. I paid $1000 for it. After 2 weeks it sank worse than the first one! My old mattress was better than this Beautyrest and oh how I wish I would have kept it! My back is killing me and I am on disability, so buying another mattress is not in the cards for me. I have literally put towels in the sink hole and then a piece of foam over that just so I don't have to crawl out of it every morning. DO NOT BUY BEAUTY REST!!! Don't waste your hard earned money on this crap.

My husband and I went to Raymond and Flanigan to purchase a king size mattress set just 2 months ago, May 2014. After trying out different bed sets with the sales person, our choice wasn't available except of the floor model. We were very concerned about purchasing the floor model. We were assured that the quality and manufacture warranty in buy would not be a problem. What do you know, the mattress already started to sag. I spoke to the manager who said he'll get back to me and never did. After calling and calling customer service, they told me the floor model is not refundable and the manufacturing warranty is also not valid. We paid close to $1500. Five thumbs down for Beautyrest and Raymond & Flanigan in Farmingdale, N.Y.

Purchased our Keira plush less than 3 yrs ago at the marine corp exchange Parris island. Not sure after how long it started to indent. We had no clue of a warranty until recently when a friend said she just purchased one and had warned her of the condition of ours. Then she told me about hers having a 25 yr warranty or something. So after looking into it and contacting Simmons we have a "10 yr warranty". Bed check came out... Measured 3" and 3.5" impressions. The "normal impression" is 1.5" or less. Well because of "soilage" they denied your warranty. No wear in the warranty card does it say stains void the warranty. Anyways lesson learned. Screw them. Just like the other reviews the warranty is all baloney. I will NEVER buy a Simmons again.

Purchased a Simmons Levana Lux (black style) mattress & box spring set last June (2013) through "Ortho". The bed heavily squeaked shortly after having it, which, their "inspector co. partner" tried to say it was my original frame. I insisted that we remove each box spring away from the frame and compress down on them. Sure enough, it was one of the box springs!!! Since about January/February of this year, I've developed a 2"+ sinking in the mattress. I checked with a competitor mattress manufacturer who insisted it was the "cheap foam" Simmons uses atop the mattress. However, they were "afraid" to address such a matter in writing (probably out of fear of a legal war with Simmons). WHAT I NEED ARE OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO ARE WILLING TO GET TOGETHER ON WHETHER WE CAN INSTITUTE A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THESE PEOPLE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I'M IN S. CALIF, LOS ANGELES AREA. Apparently, I'm the 193rd such customer complaining just on this site, so imagine how many more there are out there? Thanks for reading.

We bought a brand new $1,300 - 1,400.00 Simmons mattress that now has impressions in it from our bodies laying in it after countless nights of sleeping. We are by no means, overweight huge people at all. I find this very unacceptable after having owned this mattress ONLY for 4 years. After we made a warranty claim, a local store Steinhafel's (place purchased) had sent out a warranty rep of Simmons. They noted an almost invisible smaller stain in which they have said voided the manufacturer's warranty. Therefore, nothing will be done and this mattress is no good anymore. Money down the drain. I expected that this mattress of a well known reputable company would have lasted at least 8 - 10 years. Typical American crap. Stay away from their garbage.

And by the way this one, we've only had it since February 2014 and it's now the end of May 2014. It's like I keep telling the store manager...

As part of my divorce from my husband who is a National Account Rep for SIMMONS, I picked out and received a mattress and box springs in the neighborhood of $1,300.00. This was in the fall of 2009. Within 6 months, the bed began to sink in the middle. I contacted the warranty department - at this point the divorce is already final. They finally sent someone out who told me there was nothing wrong with the bed and that I needed a different box springs - which they charged me $85 to deliver. The damn bed sinks so bad now I have to climb out of the middle every morning - I roll into it at night. Putting a piece of plyboard did nothing. And I was married to one of their reps for almost 10 years. I never ever would recommend one of their products.

The mattress was a Beautyrest Recharge Edmore Plush. I have had the mattress less than a week. Within 3 days the top of the mattress had separated from the rest of the mattress and bunched up making it like sleeping on rocks. Defective would be putting it mildly. Cheaply and poorly made would be more accurate.

We purchased a Simmons Black in May 2013, from Macy's in Short Pump/Richmond Virginia. By January 2014, the mattress was noticeably compressed. Neither of us is overweight, both thin adults. Macy's has given us the run around by contracting out with a 3rd party called Tristate rather than Simmons. It is now month 4 and still not able to get anyone from Tristate to come look at the mattress. Is this how Macy's takes care of customers?? We are told this same Tristate company manages complaints on furniture sold at Macy's as well... so buyer beware. DO NOT BUY ANY FURNITURE FROM MACY'S!!!!! A woman named Melinda is sending us a $25.00 gift certificate for our "troubles" with our $2,000 mattress. Is she kidding? The next appointment to have Tristate come out is late April.

Contacted Mattress Firm who sold me the mattress in May 2013. Original complaint was faxed to Mattress Firm on 1/17/14 by Mattress Firm in Conroe Texas. Inspection was done on 2/26/14 and a $25.00 fee was charged. When the report was received, it showed the mattress with a "body impression" of less than 1-1/2" although it was sagging 1/2". I was certainly never told that Simmons had such unrealistic tolerances and would have certainly not have purchased a Simmons mattress if this information had been provided. When reviewing other complaints, this seems to be a standard complaint.

I filed a warranty claim with Simmons Mattress on March 12, 2014. The original Company that I purchased my queen set (Simmons Beautyrest Fontelina) from has closed down which was Mattress Warehouse of Newport News, Virginia (Date of purchase January 09, 2010). On March 12, 2014 Simmons stated that they would have Bed Chek come and inspect my mattress within three to five business day. That did not happen. So, I called Simmons on March 18, 2014 and ask them why has not Bed Chek came to check my mattress. Simmons told me that they would send Bed Chek an e-mail and also gave me Bed Chek's phone number.
I called Simmons back and spoke with Miki (which did not have an employee ID Number nor a last name). I also ask to speak with a supervisor. "Miki stated there was no supervisor there. And that a supervisor could not help me." Needless to say when I called Bed Chek no one answered the phone and I left two voice messages marked as URGENT. The reason I put in the warranty claim is that my mattress is sagging also; causing my neck and back pain to increase. I did emphasize to both representatives. Their response was we cannot do anything until Bed Chek inspects your mattress. I also looked up to see if, I could find a Bed Chek Inspector and had no luck finding a business to check my mattress out for Simmons guidelines. This is really truly sad. This is not customer service. So, I will proceed with the next step.

I bought the mattress from Macy's, it is a Beautyrest Black Queen Mattress, Rita Tight Top Extra Firm. I have had the mattress 22 months. It now sags 1". Macy's sent out a rep who place a piece of string across the mattress weighted at the end and photographed the 1" dip. However, if you sit or lie on it, it pretty much completely depresses. Macy's customer service very nicely told me to continue sleeping on it until it reached 1.5" Then they could exchange it for another. I explained that I have back issues, hence the extra firm mattress and that I have to sleep on my stomach, but now that the mattress is beginning to have a trench in it. I can't sleep on it. After much back and forth. They said they would do nothing until the dip is 1.5". As per the Manufacturers Guideline. I am not impressed with Macy's and will never buy anything from them again. It appears that Simmons has an appalling reputation. Why Macy's would want to be associated I do not know. It looks like I will just have to call back when the dip hits 1.5".

I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Cole Valley Euro top mattress May 2013, from Carson's. It was delivered on May 14th, 2013. It is like new except for the HUGE BULGE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS. Not in the center, where they claim there is a two inch drop, where I don't sleep and have never slept. I am the only one who has ever slept on this mattress, and I sleep on one side. It is without a doubt a FACTORY DEFECT, and have been told so by several who have looked at it, who actually know what they are talking about.
My mattress came with a '25 year warranty'. For what? Exactly what does the warranty cover? It's not even a year old. My previous mattress I bought in 1998, and I, like others, back hurt, and assumed it was my mattress. I found out it's a misalignment in my spine. And since I still have my other mattress, and it is still in exceptional shape, I will probably switch back to it. I was also talked into buying an $80.00 mattress pad, because my warranty would be void if one stain got on it. What the hell does a stain have to do with it? I don't have any on mine, like I said its like new, but I have read other complaints and that seems ridiculous.
My claim was denied because they said there was a 2-inch drop, I have four slats instead of five, and I don't have a center support, that are solid wood at least a inch thick. So here goes Simmons: It has a 2 inch drop because there is a 2 inch bundle of foam on the edge!! My other mattress is a double pillow top (purchased at J.C. Penney), that weighs twice as much. My box springs from same set has no sag, and is fine according to the person who came out. My frame is fine according to the person who came out. What is my warranty for?? It was measured from the foam hump to the other side, of course there's a drop.
Carson's just screwed themselves out of more money because I was hoping to purchase a better mattress knowing there would be a depreciation value. I just got off the phone with a Carson's 'supposed' supervisor, who was so rude and demeaning that I now am contacting Bon Ton headquarters to file a complaint on her.

We purchased a Beauty Rest Model M24919-6 (Home Comfort Number) and within 2 months we had such a depression on each side of the mattress that we exercised a restocking option offered by Home Comfort. Bottom line we lost $700 on the transaction. The depressions were so deep that you felt like you were sleeping in a hole. When they made up the bed you could see (even through the comforter) two large depressions that looked terrible. I blame Beauty Rest and Home Comfort for fleecing me of $700 on a product that does not deserve to be offered to the public.

After sleeping on my mattress for less than 6 months the huge hole/dent in my mattress showed up. At first it was small but it grew in size quickly. I have been dealing with Simmons and the place I bought it at San Marino Furniture for about 3 months now. Today I was finally contacted by Simmons saying they won't warranty the mattress because YES it is defective but sorry there's a stain on it. Actually, there's apparently a stain that covers more than half my mattress according to Brad ** at Simmons (**). There is no stain so he made it up. Actually maybe the guy with the string made it up. There was a guy that came in 2 weeks ago to "look" at the mattress. He had a piece of string and looked at the mattress and wrote down some "pretty complex stuff" that he could not share because apparently there was bodily fluid on the mattress.
I am experiencing back pain, etc due to the mattress problem. I am writing on here to advise anybody considering buying a Simmons mattress to NOT buy it.

We bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black from Jordan's Furniture one year ago. My wife started experiencing back pain about 6 months ago, and we spent $2000 in physical therapy to help her. Then shortly afterward, my back started to hurt. I didn't think it was our bed until I traveled on a business trip and the pain went away. As soon as I got home (after one night), my back pain started again. The mattress has a one inch sag. I have since been on other business trips and the pain goes away. As soon as I return, it comes back.
The warranty requires a 1.5 inch sag for a replacement. However, there is a Consumer Protection Act and you can sue Simmons and the retailer for False and Deceptive Business Practices. There are rules to this and you need to send a demand letter first. We have been offered $900 (half of the mattress price) from the demand letter. But, with our therapy costs, I am not sure this is even close to fair. At either rate, we will never buy another Simmons and we are telling everyone that we know about our problems with the mattress. Beware.

We bought a Simmons Beautyrest Warrenton Pillowtop with the help of Mattress Firm and after a couple of months it was not satisfactory. We got a replacement courtesy of Mattress Firm and found the mattress to have the same defect. Now we had waited too long but were offered a chance to make a warranty claim, which we did. They sent an adjusting company out at our expense to determine if we had a claim and the result of that inspection was an outright denial. The basis for that denial was that the measurements with no load did not satisfy the 1 and 1/2 inch requirement of that warranty guideline established by Simmons. The adjuster pressed down on the mattress cover and released the scale he used and recorded the result. These results were 1 and 1/4 inch according to his measurement. This is with his measure where a string is passed across the mattress with weight on either end for a "taut" base line.
I was naive enough not to measure the scale or the impression of the string for their accuracy and probably should have known better. Nevertheless here we are with a mattress which my wife cannot stand to sleep on and that will not adequately support us. A call to Simmons customer service was to no avail and in fact left a very bad taste in my mouth. The Simmons representative was downright nasty. We were told by Mattress Firm that they would consider additional evidence should we submit it, as this mattress is sold with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. I intend to make that submission, as I fully expect that this mattress will in fact fail and meet their requirements.
The time involved and having to sleep on the uncomfortable defective product in order for it to meet their requirements may not be worth the aggravation. As they have set the requirements I see no other course at this time and feel that litigation is not a viable option for a mattress. Having a forum to air these concerns is invaluable and sleeping apart from my spouse is a horrible cost to bear. I would think the adverse publicity on their "American made" products would result in an immediate cost to the Simmons Corporation and after dealing through Mattress Firm would hope they reconsider their sales of such products which are not something they can be proud of selling. I doubt that I would ever purchase another mattress with the Beautyrest or Simmons name. . .

Bed-check came to check it and the guy said it was obvious before he even took measurements. Then our claim was denied. They said we had a stain on the mattress which is yet to be seen by any of us... and they passed the buck to the mattress cover people... There is no stain on my mattress... period. Even if there was, which there's not, the mattress is still very much defective. So here we are 3 months later still getting the "runaround" on the mattress. I go to bed in pain and I wake up in pain... All we want is a replacement, and no one will talk to us.

Okay in 2011 we bought a Simmons Beauty Rest Mattress from Ashley Furniture Store in Amherst, NY. We noticed the mattress was sagging and started bothering my back. I called Ashley and they sent out a tech who took pictures back to Ashley. This was problem number one. The guy sent pics over and claimed the mattress was soiled and shouldn't be replaced. We asked Ashley to send us pics and they did and we were astonished. These weren't pictures of our mattress which was soiled free and not a stain on them.
Well I took pics and sent them to Ashley and they agreed to send over another tech and he agreed the mattress WASN'T stained nor any stains on the mattress and wondered WHAT the first tech took pictures of. So Ashley called and said they refused to take back the mattress because a tag was missing - A tag that we were NEVER told to remove when we bought this mattress. Now for the third issue. We contacted Simmons and they claimed a rep would contact us and after two months we STILL haven't heard from them. I'm done with Ashley and I will NOT buy another Simmons Mattress EVER. Buyer Beware IF you’re looking for a Simmons Mattress from Ashley, keep looking. DON'T WASTE your time with either company or you WILL be sorry.

Purchased a Simmons Eastern King Beautyrest Constance Eurotop in September 2011 from Ashley Furniture. After approximately a year we noticed a divot on the sleeping surface. We didn't think much of it, figured it was cosmetic as the mattress was still comfortable. About eight months those thoughts started to change. Now there is almost a 2-inch depression making sleep painful. I contacted Ashley's in November 2013, they no longer carry Simmons and referred me to the Simmons Warranty Center. I filed a claim and a couple weeks later, a third party inspection company came to view the complaint.
The tech confirmed the depression was just over 1 3/4 inches and anything greater than 1 1/2 was warrantable. He mentioned that they may have a concern with the water stain at the foot of the mattress. Since it was more than 3 feet from the failure he said it should not present a problem with the warranty, unfortunately it did. I received an email stating that although the depression was a warrantable concern due to the water stain the warranty is void and the claim closed.
I thought it over a couple days and just couldn't justify their decision. I phoned the warranty center and tried to explain to them that the water stain was not in the area of failure. Even if the stain was in the failure area I said, it surely wouldn't cause an internal structural failure. She held firm and reiterated that ANY stain, Even the size of a dime is a void in coverage. I explained that this must be the reason the fabric isn't stain resistant and a plain water spill leaves a discolored outline. She did offer to send my concern to a supervisor. About a week later I received the email letter below:
"Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist you. After reviewing your warranty claim, we will offer an AS-IS replacement of your MATTRESS ONLY. YOUR REPLACEMENT PRODUCT WILL BE STAMPED AS-IS AND CARRY NO WARRANTY DUE TO STAINS ON YOUR CURRENT MATTRESS. There are no manufacturing concerns with your boxspring/foundation(s). We are unable to pickup used product; therefore, you will have to dispose of the product.
According to our records, your current mattress is the Eastern King Beautyrest Constance Eurotop (M13919.7758). We will be replacing it with the Eastern King Beautyrest Recharge Arianna Plush (M45815.7904), from our current product line. Due to the design changes, your product may contain latex or memory foam. As the manufacturer, Simmons does not offer comfort exchanges.
This offer is valid for 15 days from the date of this letter. Simmons cannot guarantee that the fabric of the replacement piece will match that of the original purchase. Firmness of the replacement product may vary slightly because construction specifications do change over time. A delivery company will contact you to schedule an appointment once they have received the product from the local manufacturing facility. Please thoroughly inspect the bedding BEFORE signing for delivery. Your signature on the shipping documents signifies that you are accepting receipt of the merchandise in good condition. In the unlikely event of damage, please refuse the shipment, note the damage on the shipping documents, and contact us immediately.
Your order WILL NOT be released for delivery until all items listed below are received by Simmons (address provided at the bottom of this letter). In order to process your claim more quickly, you may fax a copy of this letter along with all items (satin label, medallion, law tags, etc.), and credit card information (if applicable) to 770-613-8575. If faxing the required documentation, we must receive the original items BEFORE we will ship the product. DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE PRODUCT UNTIL YOU CAN VERIFY THE ITEMS BELOW ARE RECEIVED BY OUR OFFICE. We recommend FedEx, UPS, certified or registered mail. The address is at the bottom of this letter.
REQUIRED ITEMS TO RELEASE SHIPMENT: * ORIGINAL Satin label from mattress (3x7" label from side or 6x9" from top surface). * ORIGINAL Oval medallion from mattress foot/side panel. * ORIGINAL White "Under Penalty of Law" tag from mattress.* ENTIRE offer letter, signed below (signature required for ALL offers). * Phone number for delivery **"

I bought a Simmons Beautyrest Corita Plush mattress set in 2012 and I'm so disappointed in this set. I bought it thru US Mattress and dealt with Josh ** and he was a great salesman. I had bought my last mattress in 2006 and it broke down where my husband laid and also where I lay. Josh assured me that this mattress would not do that and I was convinced, but it didn't take me long to see the indentation showed up. I would turn the mattress once a month trying to prevent this "valley" where our bodies laid, but to no avail. It is sad that mattresses cannot be flipped anymore.
I'm having severe back problems now and my Dr. said it is coming from my mattress. I would like to hear from you and what kind of warranty you stand behind as would like to get this corrected?

I bought a Simmons Recharge King Size from Ortho Mattress in Santa Monica, CA just under 6 months ago. In a matter of about 12 weeks, a significant 'indentation' occurred in about a 4 foot wide area where I typically sleep. A service manager from Integrated Bedding Group came out on 12/23 to measure the indentation, which he found to be 1.5 inches at 'rest'. He put a tape across the width of the bed. This does not fully reveal how the mattress collapses from my weight (210). Note: I've been sleeping alone of late.
I've been waking up with a backache every morning for not less than three (3) months. Upon laying down, the bed collapses in what could be described as a hammock effect. I try to sleep away the bed's center. I contacted Simmons in Atlanta to complain, and they referred me to Ortho, which earlier had sold me one of their own branded beds, which indented radically after about 6 weeks. I traded up to Simmons to a firm mattress, paying the difference. As this site shows, info about Simmons bed indentation issues are known. And Ortho sold me this mattress anyway. Get this - I know the Ortho CEO. Our kids went to the same preschool in Santa Monica Canyon. I've been to his house...
Simmons 'Limited Warranty' states that 1.5 inches is a 'Normal Body Impression'. Bull... That 1.5 figure does not address what happens to the bed upon laying on it. The Simmons Warranty is questionable. I'm a Creative Director and marketing director. Based on my experience, I'm sensing that I'll be going public on this via social media, news organizations, consumer protection entities, etc. I am beside myself angry. This will be a mission in life.

In October 2012, I bought a Beautyrest Noelle Plush Firm mattress from Back to Bed in La Grange, IL. BIG MISTAKE. Back to Bed had denied me my money back after a supposedly "free trial" of a Tempur-Pedic mattress and told me I had to select another mattress from the store. So I picked the Beautyrest because it seemed to be the best option and was close to the same price (but $300 more than the Tempur-Pedic). The display model felt comfortable in the store, but the one they delivered has been extremely uncomfortable from day 1. Of course they told me it needed to be "broken in" so I waited to break it in but instead of getting more comfortable over time, it has gotten worse and worse.
Now, a year later, it is in worse shape than the old worn-out mattress I got rid of. It is lumpy all over and the coils stick up and put pressure on my back and limbs. In addition, the mattress has a ridge all the way around it which takes away 4 inches of usable space on all sides and makes the mattress too small even for a 5-foot tall person. I thought I could eliminate the ridge with a mattress pad but that doesn't work. The mattress is so high no sheets will fit it properly and extremely heavy and unwieldy as well, so it is almost impossible to make up the bed. I hate everything about this mattress and everything about the criminally dishonest store where I got it.

My Dad insisted on going back to Carson's, and bought another Beautyrest. This mattress arrived and was at least an inch and a half higher on one side, awful! Carson's would not automatically take it back. We had to wait for an inspector again. This time Sean was busy, and another good inspector contacted us, measured for the issues, and YES, the new mattress was deemed in fact defective. Carson's only wanted to replace the top, whereas the box spring was warped as well, the wood inside was warped - bowing. Thank God Carson's took it back, and we will never buy another Beautyrest mattress, nor another Mattress from Carson's.

Upon reading more about this mattress, it has been reported that 25 percent of customers experience this sagging in the mattress early on. Really, really irritating for a product that was not cheap. And then the manufacturer requires you pay an intermediary to "evaluate" the mattress-- anyone can see the canyon in the middle of the bed, fee of $50 and then a delivery fee on top of that... for a product that was defective.

Below is the response to a warranty claim for my Simmons/Beautyrest Mattress. The test they ask you to do is a total sham, pic attached. Extend a board across the top of the mattress then gently place a measuring tape downward to measure the impression depth. Anything less than 1.5" is a pass. Of course when you put an average size male 185 # or female 130# on mattress, it completely hammocks out in the primary sleeping areas. Oh and they do the test with pictures as to not waste any time sending someone out to deny your claim. Buyer Be Aware. They DO NOT stand behind their product. It's amazing they spend all kinds of marketing dollars to explain how they test the product and this is the test for pass/fail on warranty.

My wife and I both have back and arm pains from trying to sleep on this mattress and experience loss of sleep. I also have developed a case of insomnia as a result of the mattress. In fact, in order to get a decent night sleep I go to bed in the guest bedroom that has a ten year old Sealy mattress that is a lot more comfortable.
We contacted Simmons and they sent us all the information we needed to send them including pictures. And in my opinion it showed the deep troughs very clearly. What we got back was a form letter denying our claim, they didn't even send out a Rep to look at it. We thought of suing in small claims court, but the store was not in the same county, so if there is a class action suit out there, I'm in.

Bought a Simmons Thompson Bay mattress and box springs 4 years ago. It started to deteriorate within a couple of years - I tried two different mattress toppers, but they did not help. The mattress was so saggy that you had to grab the edge of it to turn over. A couple of months ago I started getting knee and hip pain. I tried putting folded blankets between the box spring and mattress, but that just made it seem really hard.
I contacted the seller, Sleep City. They sent a couple of "warranty inspectors" (the delivery guys), who came over with a camera, a plumb bob and a little box with numbers and levels written on it. After numerous inquiries to the store, Sleep City finally told me Simmons had denied the warranty claim because it hadn't sagged enough - had to be 1-1/2" and mine was only 3/4". I don't know how that test is an accurate measure, because it sure sagged when I lay down on it - but that's what they did. Today I gave up and bought a different mattress from another company.

I am first sadden to see myself and others of you on here for your horrible experience with Simmons. My first point I will like to say is that in 2005 I was informed by my physical therapist to purchase a good quality mattress and one that was firm. I went to BACK TO BED and the experience was awesome and so I got two queen size MILLER (discontinued) mattresses with box springs and frames for less than $1,000! It is now September 2013 and I still have those mattresses and they are still firm as ever.
Fast Forward to 2010 - I invested in a condo in Scottsdale, AZ and I decided since I was moving a lot of stuff from the burbs of Chicago, I would have BACK TO BED just place the mattresses on the PENSKE truck for me. Once again, I got an amazing deal from the same manager I purchased my first mattresses. My purchase included a Haynes (new firmest mattresses at that time) King, Queen, and twin mattresses with frames and the whole package. Now I got my mattresses set-up by Jan 2010 and the Queen and Twin were awesome, truly amazing to my surprise and even more firm than the Miller I had back in Chicago. Now for the KING, well we got a fancy sort of frame for that one where the mattress seems like it is sunk in but we used the SIMMONS box spring since I needed the support. When I got on the mattress for the first time that spring (March), I thought to myself there has got to be something wrong with the frame. I checked over everything and the box springs but I thought to myself maybe it needs to be broken in or something.
In 2012, I was blessed with my first child and my wife and I decided to move to Arizona for good and after sleeping on the mattress for 90 days or less my back was aching. I ended up sleeping with my wife in our guest room where the Simmons Queen mattress was and it was like night and day. Well in 2013, I couldn't take it so I decided to contact Simmons and let me tell you WHAT A JOKE IT WAS WITH THE THIRD PARTY!!! I am a mechanical engineer and I can tell you a string isn't the way to test the spring rate or comfort of a mattress. I was ready to drive to Simmons headquarters myself and give the CEO a piece of my mind!!!! I am still pursuing this because I can't believe how this company does their customer service. My point to all of this is that I believe their quality has gone down since the economy in this country has tanked in 2009 until present. This doesn't probably make anyone happy. I have been calling their Georgia location 877-399-9397 and trying to get at least 50% off a mattress thru them for this so I will let you know in a few months if I win this case.

Bought a King Simmons pillow top mattress 4 years ago and paid over $2000 for it. Have not slept on it for a while now because I feel like I'm sleeping in a hammock. Both sides of this pillow top mattress have collapsed and the indents are so bad I told my husband he looks like he is in a coffin. We have had an inspector out twice and have been denied both times any form of warranty from the Simmons Company. DO NOT BUY one of these mattresses. They are the WORST ones I have ever seen and the company does not stand behind their product.

We purchased a top of the line Beautyrest mattress in late 2010. After little over a year, it began to sag in the middle. We called and they sent someone to inspect the bed. After just over 2 years, it sags 1 1/4 inches. If it was 1 1/2, they would replace it. I stated that after 2 years it is that bad and has another 8 years left, how bad will it get. They said that was normal sagging for a 2-year old mattress. We both sleep terrible and after paying for top-of-the-line, this is horrible and after researching the warranty practices it seems to be the norm. Never again!

My son purchased a Simmons Edmore Plush Queen set. He paid $799.00 for it and was told it was a quality set with a 10-year warranty. Within 3 months, it started to cave in the middle. He moved from Florida to North Carolina. He left the bed at my house and left the state again. The bed was 5 months old and continued to cave, with no one sleeping in it.
Simmons sent a couple out to inspect the bed. The claim was denied because the center bracket was not attached to the frame when he moved from FL to NC. (The bed was dropped off; no one was sleeping in it.) However, it was attached originally when the bed was first purchased and it was caving then. They offered to sell me another mattress for $429.00 plus shipping. That makes the cost of a less than year old bed $1,228.00. I found this site, and see that people agreed to the terms, bought another bed, changed the frame, and the same thing happened!

I have ALWAYS bought Simmons Beautyrest mattresses since 1974! I still have a queen that was our MB bed since 1980 and is praised as the "most comfortable" bed my guests have slept on "in years!" as our guest room bed. Unfortunately, they don't make them like they used to!!!! We bought our first $2500 Black Label comfort firm mattress in 2009, only to be in so much pain sleeping in "holes" after a year. Unfortunately, it took two years of sleepless nights, and back pain, to get someone to admit that it was defective.
Jordan's Furniture told us we could "pick out a new one" which was now $1000 more for a comparable King. After 6 mos, it developed the same huge "holes" which now, after 3 years, we are still trying to get them to declare it defective! Writhing in pain all night long, and yet, unless you figure out how to "suck the air" out of the top gauzy layer, you can' tell that there is more than the visible 1" depression (which really is about a 2" depression), which doesn't show up when they place a "string" across the diagonal of the mattress! A STRING! The real support under the top fabric that is always "tufted" to keep it puffed up is really non-existent and a depression which is obviously deeper than the required 1.5" needed for return. But if they take long enough to declare it defective, the "money back" gets less and less!
Why don't they just make mattresses the way they used to, and stand behind them?!! Having a 10-year warranty that only requires you to buy another one which costs more money is like a pyramid scheme that just keeps escalating! I slept on our boat's 4" mattress this weekend and had no pain compared to the sleepless and painful experience I had upon returning last night! I think it is time for me to order a Temperflow, or some other foam mattress that doesn't have non-disclosure as its mantra!

A technician was sent out and concurred the mattress was defective. It was replaced and within 2 years, the replacement mattress did the same thing. After a lot of consternation and "measuring", etc., we had the mattress replaced again and shortly after that incurred the same problem and paid a $400 upgrade to one of the highest lines of Simmons product and now, lo and behold, we are once again experiencing the same thing. I have requested our money back and now I am supposed to wait on a technician Elder-Beerman is sending to try to get resolution.
My problem is we do not want a Simmons... They are junk. And the last time, Elder-Beerman substituted an ugly mattress (pillow-top) that did not look to be of the same quality. Simmons changes the names of their mattresses like I change my underwear so you never know what you are getting.

We purchased a mattress, a Simmons Beauty Rest (Dearborn style) and were dissatisfied with it within a month of the purchase due to indentations in the memory foam top that would not go away and became worse after the second month. Also, during installation, they actually ripped the material from the foundation. We phoned Art Van, and they sent a tech out to measure the indentations and said they had to be 1 1/2 inches deep to qualify for warranty exchange. We waited another month and decided to have another tech come out and look at the mattress. He gave us the ok to have the mattress replaced, also noting the tear in the foundation. We were then left to wait for a rep to get in touch with us, thinking Simmons would call.
Art Van phoned instead, offering us $600 for a set that was brand new and had just cost us a little over $1,200. They also told us we would have to keep the foundation. Here's the catch, per the warranty, we have to have the foundation that goes with the mattress in order to make it good. We will not buy the same mattress due to too many consumer complaints. Almost every company says "our foundation" or no warranty. Also, the industry standard states that the indentions may be 0.75 up to 1 1/2 inches before warranty kicks in. Why? Who made the industry standard that way? Try sleeping on a mattress that has permanent indentions of even 0.50 and you will notice. There should be no indentions. I have a Peerless Brand Mattress that is 35 years old and it does not have any. I would like a full refund from Simmons, and I would like to hear from them. I believe Art Van is being given the full warranty price on our mattress; I don't believe they are being upfront with us about that. We just want another mattress, and we want our money back so that we can buy one, a good one.

This is our second Simmons Beautyrest World Class Exceptionale. We replaced our much loved first one, which was a Queen, with a King in 2007. Well, within a few weeks, the sagging started, deep impressions that left little back support. We were told that this was "normal" and had to be over 1.5" deep before it is considered a defect. We were unsatisfied, but whatever. Fast forward to 2013 and recently, we noticed that one side of the mattress is bulging out over 2"! The one side is flat and flush, as it should be. The bad side bulges out on the side, which causes that side to sag, and it's impossible to push it back in even momentarily. It won't budge. I have filed a claim with Simmons, but based on the dozens of negative reviews from users who have had the same problem, my claim will likely be denied as well.
My mattress has always been protected by Simmons' own quilted Beautyrest mattress pad/cover and has always been on the box springs we bought with the mattress as a set. There are no stains on it, but after reading the reviews, I did go back and look at mine and there are many threads that are unraveling - despite the fact that it has always been protected with Simmons' own mattress cover! This needs to become a class action. Sadly, this seems to be the only way companies can be held accountable for their products anymore. A 10-year warranty means nothing if you never honor it! You can clearly see the bulging side and unraveling threads from our mattress (and yes, you can also see the protective mattress cover pulled back to reveal this as well).

Simmons is claiming that because the purchase was at an "outlet" store, they will not honor their warranty even though the store has a "10-Year Warranty" advertisement for Simmons or at least did at the time of purchase. The bed was purchased approximately 2 years ago and is now falling apart. There are several places where it is caving in. This is a scam to get out of honoring their manufacturer's warranty for a product clearly suffering from a manufacturing defect. Even the tag on the bed says their factory sent it to them shortly after purchase or around the time of purchase.

I purchased a Simmons Portsmouth Plush Pillow Top Mattress on 09/12/11 at a Mattress Giant store in Hollywood, Florida. A little over a year later, I noticed a large dip, about 10 inches in diameter and almost 2 inches deep in the middle of the mattress. Remembering the mattress came with a warranty, I contacted Simmons and explained the situation. The next day, they had someone there to inspect it, which included taking measurements and photos.
Today, about a week later, I learned that my claim has been denied cause there is a visible stain on the mattress. The warranty excludes burns, stains or soil, which is reasonable. However, it also says that Simmons products that are stained, soiled or infested by vermin are not covered. I read this to mean that any mattresses stained by, soiled by, or infested with vermin are not covered, in which I also find that reasonable.
The stain on my mattress was not from vermin, but Simmons is claiming that because there is any stain at all, that the warranty is completely void. When I tried to talk to the customer service person about this, she said, "Our lawyers assure us that your warranty is void." I was rather perplexed that such an insignificant claim over structural failure had made it to their legal department.
In addition, to the stain issue, Simmons is also claiming that the "impression" on my mattress is less than 1/4 inch in depth. I called the "independent" person who came to inspect the mattress and told him this, and he said that he clearly saw a much deeper impression. However, when I asked him if he would contact Simmons and discuss this with them, he refused and said he was their "eyes and ears" and would not discuss this with them.
Here is yet another case of "bait-and-switch" by an insurance company. I realize now that the only reason they sent someone out was to get pictures they could use to deny the claim, and that their warranty was a sham from day one. I would never buy a Simmons product again.

The mattress set is less than a year old. I contacted Simmons for a total of 4 months before they sent someone out to look at the mattress set. They said they will deny the warranty claim because of a stain on mattress where my dad fell asleep with a pen in his hand; it made a small ink spot on mattress.

I used to be a huge fan of Simmons BeautyRest World Class mattresses, but now I hate the company and their products! I originally purchased a king-sized, ultra plush super pillowtop from Rooms To Go 10 years ago in July of 2002 for about $1,700 - their top of the line Simmons Mattress at the time. After about 5 years, I noticed that the pillowtop itself was coming unraveled and contacted Rooms To Go to see about getting it repaired (as I adored that mattress). They sent over a technician who said it's no good after his string test. Rooms To Go honored Simmons' 10-year warranty and told me to come to the store to do a reselect, which I did. I wasn't expecting them to replace the mattress in the first place because it was just thread, but I thought I would be able to find another mattress by Simmons that was comparable so I went for it.
It cost me an extra $100 to do this, but I was happy to pay it and appreciated Rooms To Go taking care of this problem for me. The bed that I reselected was actually a more expensive Euro pillowtop bed. It was really soft, too soft actually, because I could barely pull myself out of the bed in the morning. I literally sunk in the bed. I contacted RTG and told them I made a mistake picking that mattress and it was just too soft for me. They let me pick another one, for another $100 reselect fee of course! OK, now I've invested $1,900. The mattress I ended up picking was almost identical to the original mattress from 2002, but it was now called something else. I loved this mattress so much that I convinced my boyfriend to buy the same mattress for his place and we constantly oohed and aahhed about that mattress because it was just so yummy!
Fast forward to another 3 or 4 years, the damn mattress was sagging so I called RTG. They once again sent out a technician and they deemed the mattress no good. They told me to come to a store and reselect, again! My complaint is in no way about Rooms To Go. Other than the fact that they were making money off of me every time I reselected, they were wonderful to deal with and made sure my problem was rectified in a timely manner. When I went back to their store to reselect, I found out that they don't even carry the Simmons BeautyRest World Class mattress any more. I'm not even sure if Simmons still makes them or if they are just calling it something else now!
Here is where things got really screwed up - through no fault of my own or Rooms To Go. The mattress I picked looked good and felt good in the store. Price-wise, I thought it was very similar to the one I was replacing. When I took delivery, I noticed that the end side of the mattress was going downhill and was obviously defective. RTG replaced it immediately, so again no problems with them. After sleeping on this mattress for a couple of nights, I noticed that my pressure points on my hips, shoulders and back were very sore. I complained to RTG and believe it or not, they were willing to replace it again but I had to pay another $100 and do another reselect. At this point, I felt compelled to contact Simmons and ask them where I could find a comparable mattress to the World Class mattresses I had owned and loved in the past; and to see if maybe there was still one around Dallas, TX somewhere.
They have an outlet here in Dallas, so I thought it was a possibility and at least they could tell me what was comparable since they were the manufacturer after all. What ended up happening in response to my phone message was someone from Simmons calling Rooms To Go and telling them to just give me my money back from my original purchase in 2002, and for me to basically kick rocks! Huh? Really? I never even had an opportunity to speak with anyone about why I was calling in the first place and it certainly wasn't to complain about Rooms To Go! After all, they were more than willing to help me and did several times! Apparently, the person that got my message to call me was someone very high up at Simmons corporate offices. They took it upon themselves to just go around me instead of calling or emailing me and contacted Rooms To Go customer service.
When customer service from RTG called me and told me this, I was completely shocked and angry! I sent over a very lengthy email to this executive at Simmons, explaining why I had contacted them in the first place and that I didn't appreciate them taking matters into their own hands and speaking on my behalf without even contacting me. I waited several days and didn't even get any type of response from them! Even more shocking! I somehow convinced RTG to please help me and they did; although they said they couldn't honor the warranty or help me anymore since it has now been 10 years since my original purchase. I thought that was fair and reasonable because they had been so accommodating to me for 10 years. Against my better judgement, I ended up picking out the best Simmons mattress they sold and paid an additional $400, thinking that this would be the end of it. Boy was I wrong.
Now I wake up constantly in the night and when I get out of bed, I have an extremely sore neck and shoulders; to the point that I am actually stiff and it never seems to go away! A mattress is supposed to be an investment because "what price sleep?" You are supposed to feel rested when you get out of bed and I sure used to with my other World Class mattresses, but that is not the case with the BeautyRest Elite. I don't know what to do now because my only option is to contact Simmons directly. I am pretty sure I know how that is going to turn out. I don't know why they have changed their products so drastically in the last several years, but now I wish I had never complained about that mattress that I adored and just lived with the saggy spot on it! I don't have the money to buy another mattress and this one is making my life miserable.
If I could actually pick that mattress up, I would throw it through their window just like in the Discount Tire commercial! They have no concept of customer service, which is apparent after reading all of these complaints. If I ever have the opportunity to buy a new mattress, I will still buy from Rooms To Go because of their excellent customer service. But it will most definitely not be a Simmons! Bear in mind that RTG will honor all manufacturers' warranties and do all the legwork for you, so you don't have to hassle with the manufacturer yourself. They keep accurate records of all of your purchases on their computer so getting proof of purchase, date of purchase, etc. is simple. They are wonderful and I give them 1 million gold stars and an A plus for their efforts!

I will never again buy a Simmons product and hope this stops anyone else from buying one.

I purchased a high-end Simmons mattress 5/11. The first night I noticed a hump in the middle. This is the first king size I have had and thought it wasn't that big of a deal. Boy was I wrong! I never thought that I would continue sinking, which makes the ridge high and the mattress uncomfortable. I contacted the retailer. They sent out a tech to measure and it was less than 1.5 inches, which means you are out of luck. I contacted Simmons. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. They will not even listen to your story and keep telling you that you have to go back to the retailer. What manufacturer doesn't even listen to their ultimate consumer? I hope they will change their policy but not holding my breath. Stay away from any Simmons products!

I purchased a Simmons Beauty Rest mattress from a well-known mattress store in our town, and I was told it was a great mattress. Within six months, the mattress had a definite sag where I slept; and I am not a heavy person. I was having terrible backaches and visiting the chiropractor for adjustments weekly. I never had backaches or woke up sore and hurting prior to sleeping on this mattress. After visiting the store where I purchased it, they gave me instructions on filing a claim, how to document and measure the sag in the middle, which I did. I have a very good frame with seven feet touching the floor, and I purchased new box springs from them at the same time I purchased the mattress.
After submitting pictures, they agreed the sag was outside of the norm. It was a "defective" mattress, and they did replace it. All was well for probably two months. Well, it apparently is a bad mattress line, because now six months later, the second mattress has the same issue. My old mattress that I had for 10 years was more comfortable than this $1400 six-month-old mattress. I am extremely disappointed and certainly would never recommend a Simmons to anyone. It seems Simmons knows they have a problem after reading same type of complaints from others. I am going shopping again to find a mattress to replace this one. I do have pictures to document both defective mattresses.

We purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Plush Pillow Top Mattress from Ashley Furniture. From the first week we had the bed, we have been so uncomfortable. Our backs hurt so bad from the uncomfortable bed and I called the salesman and he said it had to be broken in. He said to give it at few weeks to a month. It took about a month for my back to not be so stiff but it still hurt. I finally went and bought a mattress topper since Ashley would not allow us to exchange the mattress. It was great the first week, then it got too soft and I had to return the topper. The mattress has since started sagging. It's so bad in the middle, like a big sinkhole, and under our backs, it sinks so bad. The back pain wakes us up every night and every morning hurting so bad till we get up and walk around for a bit. Then, it disappears. You can see the huge indentations in the bed for a long time after you get up.
I filled out a warranty claim with Simmons a week ago and have not heard a thing. So, I called Ashley's customer service and they are sending a technician out tomorrow to check the mattress. I hope they allow us to replace this junk mattress. I will never ever buy a Simmons mattress again. We had the best luck with Sealy Posturepedic and we should have stayed with them.

We purchased a Simmons Captivation set from Mattress Firm in Albuquerque, NM in November 2010. After only a few months, there are permanent indentations in the mattress. Simmons states on their website that 1 1/2" compression is normal, but I have no idea how they gauge that, and there also seems to be no side support either as the mattress folded in half when we lifted it up to move it. I have sent an email, a letter, and filled out a warranty claim form but have heard nothing. Apparently, this seems to be the typical response from Simmons. As we are in temporary housing at this time, our set is in storage until early 2013, but it is accessible should a representative care to inspect it.

Mattresses sales is the used car business of the 1960s and 70s, before protections and lemon laws. We need a mattress lemon law in this country. I bought a premium priced Simmons Beautyrest pillow top mattress just a few weeks ago. The first night I slept on it (I weigh less than 170 lbs), there was a deep indentation about 6". Unbelievable! After sleeping on a 40-year old "vacation" bed my family had for years, with a mattress about the thickness of a wafer, where I got out of bed each morning feeling perfectly fine, I looked forward to the comfort of a new, pricy pillow top. The Simmons felt great at the store, but then the first night, the trough happened. I thought it was a break-in period. But after a week, my back was killing me. The trough takes about 15 minutes to rise back up after getting out of bed. By then, it's too late. It has done its damage to one's back.
I called the store. They sent an inspector, who measured the depth and determined that the mattress was in normal guidelines. He called the store's warranty department who told me they would not, repeat, not replace the mattress for which I paid nearly $1,400.00! I called the manager of the store who repeated the same thing, played hardball with me now that they had my money. I called Simmons. They said they'd call the store, but I have no hope of getting this replaced. My only choice is to pay the store a restocking fee of $200 and the price difference and delivery cost for a new mattress. There is but one choice we consumers have - file a formal complaint with the attorney general of your state and the Better Business Bureau.

So I get this Simmons queen mattress for about $1100. I never even noticed there were no tags on it. Within a few days, my back was so sore that I had to get out of bed to feel good. I called both US Mattress and Simmons, and US Mattress told me to give it time. Simmons said basically they will not cover any "comfort" issues. What are they selling if not comfort? With that logic, they could have sent me a rock without any regrets.
US Mattress then proceeded to waste my time, as I tried to find a resolution by telling me they are going to send out a "mattress inspector", who is a surly guy with God-knows-what qualifications and who expected me to be on his schedule because he only works a few hours a day. I had to remind him who was the customer. Someone from the mattress inspector's headquarters in TX told me that no matter what, US Mattress will say there is nothing wrong with the mattress. Instead of dealing with my problem, US Mattress was furious that this employee told me that. They passed the buck to Simmons who had such inept employees that they even attempted to deny I had a Simmons mattress!
They then also proceeded to waste my time by sending me a form that requires I photograph the bed from top to bottom as well as the box spring and the stand.

Additionally, the bed interior structure is noisy whenever you sit or lay upon the mattress, a series of creaking sounds emanate from the mattress.
I find this mattress is impossible to sleep on causing me to wake up through out the night. The mattress obviously has a defect. I have purchased numerous beds in the past and never had an issue. I specifically purchased this Beautyrest due to its name brand recognition, known for quality. I contacted Macy's, the manager, forwarding my concerns to Simmons Mattress company, to no avail. They stated there is no warranty due to the price structure and discount they give to Macy's. Then I checked the internet and found that this is an ongoing problem with Simmons Bedding.

Do not buy a "W" bed from Simmons! Complete junk in just 3 years!
We purchased this bed after a very pleasant stay at a W Hotel and were delighted that the make "their" mattresses available for sale on the web. We purchased it in the summer of 2008. Immediately upon arrival, we strongly suspected this was not the same mattress at all -- much softer than the one at the W hotel. But we decided to keep it and it was fine for about a year.
In year two, it began to become very noticeably soft in the middle. My wife and I could literally roll toward each other. By year three, we were waking up with backaches every day. There is a 10 year warranty on this allegedly premium product, and for the first time that I or anyone I know has ever had to do, I called a mattress manufacturer, Simmons for warranty service.
They asked for photos of the mattress and descriptions of the problem, fair enough. But we knew this was going to end badly when Simmons asked us to measure literally with a tape measure the amount of 'depression' in the mattress. There is no visible depression, nor would there be with a pillow top mattress. We thought Simmons' question had to be a joke. No, it wasn't.
We sent the photos of course. But the problem with this mattress isn't a matter of looks, it's that the mattress is so over soft that two normal sized adults can't sleep on it after just 3 years. Simmons' response was outrageous. They claimed we were experiencing "normal compaction" and basically told us tough luck, we're not going to do anything. No inspector, no nothing, too bad.
They actually said the mattress was performing as expected, and that "normal compaction" is experienced with every mattress. For goodness sake, even the cheapest, lowest quality mattress will give you more than 3 years of use. For this "premium" product to become unusable so soon is ridiculous and inexcusable.
Simmons' refusal to even consider any remedy has guaranteed that we will never consider buying one of their products again, and I recommend to anyone reading this complaint to run the other way from this bed and from Simmons.
I've been in the consumer products business for over 25 years working with dozens of companies, and I've never come across the kind of callous, dismissive disregard for a customer that I've seen from Simmons. This company is a disgrace as far as I'm concerned, and a must to avoid.

I have a Mount Elbert Plush with Visco-King Model no. M95043608107. I called the Simmons Company after making the complaint to Direct Buy where the mattress and foundation were purchased and shipped to me last April 19, 2008. After telling the Simmons company representative all the required specifications, he simply told me that the warranty has expired. The Simmons mattress is not worth the $692.96 I shelled out. A letter will be sent to leading newspapers to announce to customers never to purchase Simmons mattresses.
