Leave the last S off for SWINDLE
In January 2010 I bought a Stearns and Foster mattress (no boxspring) from Sealys for $1100.00 (a splurge for me!) and was in heaven. After years of lower back pain and chiropractic I was finally waking up without having felt I was sawed in half.
My friend from out of state visited, LOVED it, and went home and bought one for herself. Fast forward a year and a half: where my boyfriend and I sleep are without support, there's a small mountain up the middle, and I went through the hole thing of calling, having a tech come (who would tell me nothing) then getting a letter in the mail telling me the bed was not sagging enough (not in those words). Two weeks ago I actually drove myself to emergency with chest pressure, and after X-rays, CAT scans, stress test, blood tests...I was told my heart was fine, and the chest pressure could be something muscular stemming from my back...and it's all making sense to me now!!!
Sealys has not heard the last from me...I will be visiting the store where I bought the mattress, and I am positive I will not get any help, but I need to speak with a human being-not some pie in the sky letter from somewhere out there. Anybody have any suggestions where to go, besides this website???
Sealy is a company that I will never deal with again!
Sealy uses deceptive marketing and sells low quality products
Sealy Mattress
Mattress industry scam - No Durability
How many of you remember having a bed mattress for 10 or more years? It was not uncommon. Yes, eventually the mattresses finally broke down but it was after many, many years of service. Today, most mattresses utilize cheap foam top layers all in the name of comfort. Yes, they feel great in the store and promise sleep time bliss. But, the horrors will soon begin.
The more softness you crave, the higher the "pillow" top the more your world will come crumbling down. And soon.
My Sealy mattress ( mid-range cost, non-pillow top) was wonderful, for about 4 months. At that time it began to show the dreaded "body impressions" which I now learn are commomplace and a source of much complaint in mattress forums. Our body impressions are now about 1" deep, permanent and a cause of increasing back pain and discomfort. We haven't reached the magical 1.5" that manufacturers say represents a quaity problem. WTF? I say the 1" definitely represents a problem whether they want to admit it or not. My back tells me so.
There are technical solutions for this. Higher quality foams or even different foam materials such as natural latex which has a long history of durability. But manufactures are driven by costs or, certainly, the highest possible profit margins. Apparently, they aren't tuned-into the buzz and complaints because they continue to crank out products that clearly have an Achilles heel. The dreaded body impressions that feel and look bad due to breakdown of cheap closed cell foams.
So, I've had it. I'm moving on to a 100% natural latex foam mattress which, by many accounts, is far superior. I can truly expect years, even decades, of good performance. I'll do my homework and make sure I buy a high quality latex mattress ( beware of cheap versions or immitators). I'll pay more than the $1300 I paid for the Sealy but, you know what? I'll make it back in longevity, no back pain and better appearance compared to the saggy Sealy. Plus, I'll send a message ( ok, it's not much of a message) to the large mattress companies that they can take their junk and shove it. We want quality and durability, not marketing fluff and puff.
Company sold me a terrible mattress
Sealy - NEVER BUY THEIR PRODUCTS!!!
All Sealy's Latex Mattresses Poor Quality!!!
The Sealy's latex mattresses feels great in the beginning but then lower back pain kicks in and you start to wonder.
My 1y old Sealy's latex mattress lost all its support and Sealy's will not exchange because it is not sagging "enough". So beware!!! Almost all latex mattresses will not sag enough to qualify for Sealy's warranty. Their inspection is an unbelievable joke.
I called and visited many stores and ALL sales reps confirmed these issues and strongly advised me to stay away from any latex and foam mattress from Sealy's, Stearns & Foster and Bassett, which are all the same company!
Sealy's is ripping off customers with their cheap and overpriced foam and latex mattresses. If you check consumer reviews you will find many negative reviews about Sealy latex mattresses. They should be investigated for their shady business practices.
I now have lower back pain and am out of $2,000, plus medical expenses.
We are our 2nd mattress and and it's no good
Sealy posturpedic is junk and so is warranty
Faulty sealy mattress 10 year warranty, they replaced it with a simmons without warranty
i have paid for rent to own furniture. my mattress was a sealy with ten year warranty and i found it to be faulty, i reported this to them.
i moved to new location and they bent my bed frame. they told me they would replace the frame, instead they brought used, rusty frame. they would not replace it with the same mattress with same warranty. instead they replaced it with a simmons with no warranty.
i feel like they have taken advantage of me and i feel like i have been robbed. asked my girlfriend help them moving mattresses.
