We purchased a King-size mattress & boxspring set only to have problems with it right away. We had problems with the fibers/filling seperating causing the Euro-top to flatten and seperate. We had to have their "guy" come out and take a look at it to verify...he is their delivery guy. He then informs us they have had nothing but problems with that mattress. They agree to exchange it for a Serta Perfect Sleeper Privilege Elite.
We slept on the mattress one night.."horrible!" It was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable!! We then went to a different mattress store to purchase a memory foam topper to have some type of comfort! After only 3 months we had over an inch and a half body impressions.
We then went back to the store where it was purchased to get papers to fill out, to be sent to Serta for warranty. We had to measure the impressions and so forth and send them back, to be contacted by a Serta representative.
We were then told to go the store we purchased from and try out the 2 mattresses they would change out for being the "Celebtration" or "Moonbeam Mist."
The Serta rep @ that time had told us the mattress we now had was discontinued & that they had problems with it too!! We were able to go by the store and decided on the "Celebration."
We were then told by the owner of the store (Karen) that we would have to pay a difference for that mattress & would not get a matching set as originally stated, only the mattress. This was never an issue or problem discussed by us or the Serta rep at that time, only that these were our choices. It turns out that the owner of the store & the Serta rep are good friends, not in our favor!
We also were told that the rep was no longer with Serta and we would have to settle things with the store we purchased the mattress set from. We asked to meet with the store owner and see what could be resolved. We were told we only had one choice and would still have to pay if we wanted the "Celebration." I was also told during conversation prior to this by phone we were beating a dead horse!
Why should we have to pay for what they say is an upgrade and a delivery fee to top it off, for a defective product?? We then asked for a refund and was flatly refused. The owner now refuses to do anything and does not treat the customer fairly in any way. Not a way to handle business....& Serta does not back their warranty!!! Nor do people who sell them!!

What's this? #2 UPDATE Employee
America's Mattress IS an honest business

This letter is in response to the report written by "Gary". I was absolutely shocked to read his report; what he has described is NOT the high standard of customer service that we strive for every day in this business. It made me curious enough to research his sale and the circumstances of his warranty claim.
What I found was this:
America's Mattress replaced Gary's bed THREE TIMES.
The original bed Gary purchased was a set that retails approximately $1200. The Celebration, the bed Gary wanted as a replacement, retails at $2300. Of course the company needed him to pay the difference on that kind of upgrade.
Our normal delivery fee is $65. This pays for two hourly workers, a truck, fuel, insurance, etc. Gary paid NO delivery fee for any of the four deliveries that were made. He was told that to do a fifth delivery, he would need to pay the delivery fee. I do not think this is an outrageous thing to ask.
America's Mattress took a loss of approximately $2800 on the string of exchanges that were done in an attempt to make this customer happy and they CONTINUED to work to try to satisfy the customer after taking that much loss.
As long as beds are manufactured by human beings, there is going to be a margin of human error, no matter how small. I have seen this company stand by the Serta product time and time again. ANY defective product is replaced as quickly as possible. (My store's normal time for a warranty claim, from the first customer contact, to the delivery of the new bed, is less than two weeks.)
America's Mattress owners and employees strive to always provide the highest level of customer service, before and AFTER the sale.
