I emailed Tempur-pedic about my Tempur-pedic mattress purchased in2015 that became defective they agreed to compensate me with a new mattress. Order details below. The mattress was delivered WITHOUT A LAW TAG. I have contacted them several times in a dispute and they refuse to do anything about this. In state of Arizona it is against STATE Law to sell a mattress with OUT a Law Tag. I think this is a USED mattress. HELP PLEASE! thank you in advance.

We purchased a 9" foundation--basically just a box spring--from tempurpedic. It was more expensive than we thought it should be, but figured we would get the product made for our new mattress. On the day of delivery we discovered that we wanted to exchange the 9" foundation for the 5" foundation, but upon calling the company we were informed that foundations are not returnable and not exchangeable.
This policy was not made clear to us during the order process. If it had been clear or pointed out, we likely would not have purchased it from the company. We called the company and they informed us that that is the policy. When I told them we had no communication on this policy prior to purchase, they pointed me towards the website and the representative hung up on me.
I have included a screenshot of what the checkout screen looks like. Unless you scroll to the bottom, there is no mention of a return policy, and you have to click a separate link to get to a return policy page. The link is in the form of the question "what is our return policy?" This link is blocked by a pop-up requesting the customer email (see screenshot).
I think the issue is not even so much the return policy itself (although it is unreasonable), but rather the lack of communication from the company about this policy. Yes, it is there, but it appears that they do their best to make sure customers are unaware of it. This company appears to be operating with a "buyer beware" mindset. I am again requesting an exchange or refund.Business Response

Tempur-Pedic refuses to honor the warranty and tries to weasel out of honoring it. My mattress has a removable cover and it was discolored in the dryer however they are saying stains void the warranty this is not due to any liquid that would ruin the underlying foam it was a female menstrual cycle stain that we tried to remove. Put my through embarrassment and won’t honor my warranty. Do not buy from them!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because nothing made it to the mattress itself only the cover which was removed and washed. Your warranty is a scam as this would not at all affect the mattress and cause it to sag. I’ve told everyone not to buy your products anymore.

Hello! Hope all is well. We purchased a mattress topper online directly from Tempur-pedic on October 19, 2024. The order confirmation number was ************. The topper arrived in a box and it was rolled up tightly and held in place by shrink wrap. We didn't even need to remove it from it's packaging to know that it's not as firm as we'd like it to be. So, we reached out to Tempur-pedic to begin the return process. We were told that mattress toppers can't be returned and were referred to see their return policy. The policy states initially that "Given the personal nature of these products...". We understand if we had used the product not being able to return it. However, if we buy something online and immediately, without removing it from it's packaging know it's not what we wanted, we should be able to return it. The product is unused and is still packaged and sealed as it was sent to us by Tempu-pedic. All we'd like to do is return the item for a refund. Thank you for assisting in any way possible with this request. If you require any further information, please let us know. Be well!Business Response

I encountered a warranty issue with my mattress and sought assistance from Tempur-Pedic. They acknowledged the matter and proposed a warranty replacement. However, the replacement mattress offered as comparable to mine was priced approximately $3,200 higher than my original purchase. A lower-tier model was suggested for a one-to-one exchange, which I declined. Consequently, I reluctantly paid an additional $3,200 on 8-5-2024 for a new mattress that matched the specifications of my original one.
Upon delivery of the new mattress, I began experiencing severe back pain that hindered my mobility significantly. Upon reviewing my order details, I discovered that an incorrect mattress had been dispatched to me. I promptly contacted Tempur-Pedic to address the error, only to be informed that they would not provide a replacement as all sales were deemed final. The error had occurred as they had mistaken my previous order for a medium hybrid mattress, whereas the one delivered to me was of a firm variant.Business Response
Date: 11/12/2024
There is no record of customer advising us that we shipped him incorrect model. There is a call that the customer made complaining of the firmness. He was advised at that time that all exchanges are considered a final sale and there would be no refund, exchange or return made available to him.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: My previous mattress was a medium hybrid, and I had requested a replacement with the same specifications. I never intended to order a firm mattress, and if that happened, it was an honest mistake. Unfortunately, I was required to pay an extra $3200 for a mattress that was similar to the one I originally had. I am unsure how I ended up with a firm mattress, as I expected to receive the same level of firmness as my previous one.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I DID NOT select a firm mattress this is incorrect.I immediately contacted them when I realized it was the wrong mattress. I even told the delivery drivers to take it back and they told to just accept and to contact tempurpedic for an exchange.even the representative I spoke to was sympathetic with and said "sometimes they make exceptions let me see what I can do" the poor guy went back and forth three times. I just want a medium hybrid like I had before.
I really just wanted an even swap for my mattress but they forced me to pay additional money for a comparable mattress. this is not fair customers should not be treated this way

******* ****Customer Answer

All of my communication took place over the phone. The customer service representative I spoke with was named *****. He informed me that this situation has occurred in the past and that he typically receives approval from upper management for a swap. However, he mentioned that after going back three times, they continued to deny the request, which he found frustrating. I feel this is unjust. When I opted for the mattress swap, I expected to receive the same level of firmness. Currently, I am experiencing severe back pain to the extent that I need to take ice baths. I simply want the same level of firmness as my previous mattress. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: they haven't offered any solution. I paid over $3,000 to upgrade to this mattress, but I received the wrong firmness. I specifically requested the medium hybrid model, which includes springs. All I am asking for is an exchange. They are ignoring my notification to the delivery company about the wrong mattress. I initially hesitated to accept the delivery, but the drivers advised me to accept it and contact Tempur-Pedic for an exchange.

I went to a furniture store to purchase bedroom furniture and a mattress. The salesperson swayed me away from the original mattress to a tempurpedic adapt 2.0 medium hybrid.
Long story short- I am not satisfied with the mattress. I can’t return it but can exchange it. Problem there is, I don’t wish to exchange the mattress period. The mattress is still uncomfortable and I don’t like it. I don’t wish to deal with the store I purchased the mattress from.
I’ve spoken to several people about the mattress and they only offer an exchange.Business Response

My husband and I needed a new mattress, but I am a teacher, he is a police officer, and we have a tight budget. Because of this, I thought purchasing a topper from a highly trusted (so I thought) company would provide us with the relief we need until we can afford a new mattress. Well, we got the topper and tried it for about a week, and it has made both of our backs hurt worse, making us resort to sleeping on the couch. I called today to try and make a return, but apparently, I missed the fine print. You can find through a link at the bottom of the page that toppers are not returnable. As someone who uses technology on a regular basis, I missed this, and I am sure many of people have also missed this. I was told there is essentially nothing that can be done. Why do they allow mattress returns but not toppers? Surely, it is easier to do. We are now out of $300 we didn't have to waste, and we could have put towards a new mattress. They should have it clearly stated in checkout for everyone to see, without having to click a link and read the fine print, that these are final sale items. Super discouraged for trusting this company. The market price for these is almost $500 with no return policy? Especially one that is not easily seen?! Horrible customer service.Business Response

We have spoken to this customer earlier this morning. She was advised of our published policy regarding final sale, no returns, refunds or exchanges on out toppers.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: As someone who has a masters in technology integration, it should NOT be that complicated to see that items are final sale. It should be clearly identified at checkout that items are final sale. This comes across as purposefully dishonest so people unknowingly (like myself) are stuck with a product they cant use that cost hundreds of dollars. Hiding a return policy through a link and the fine print at the bottom of the page is not acceptable for any company, especially such a well known company.

Temperpedic did not inform me that the a exchange is a final sale, it also doesn’t say anything on the receipt or policy packet I received, all it says is “ only 1 exchange is allowed in your 90 day trial “ I am still in the 90 days from original purchase on 08/18/24 and delivery date was 08/26/24 so I have a trial until 11/25/24 but it is refused saying that the exchange is a final sale, I am disputing this and plan to take it to court as Final sale needs to be stated clearly and it wasn’t!!! I absolutely can not sleep on this mattress and so is my husband, we both have hip pain and never had hip pain before, both mattresses we tried were terrible for us, not what I expected at all from top name mattress company and I would never bought if trial wasn’t offered, sales person said to us “ you have nothing to loose, you can try mattress for 30 nights, if it’s not comfortable you can do the exchange option we offer and if you are still not happy after 30 nights or before 90 days expire you can return for full refund and ship somewhere else for another mattress “, of course now salesperson is denying he said that and we can’t proof verbal statements but it doesn’t have clear statement on the receipt or policy info I was given, I feel that I was tricked in this situation as I would not do the exchange if the salesperson didn’t tell me about it, very dishonest people, can’t believe company like Temperpedic have such poor customer service!!!Business Response

I purchased a Breeze ProHi Pillow - queen size pillow for the price of $229 on 5/12/24. The pillow comes with a 5 year warranty. Less than 6 months later, the pillow no longer keeps its shape. There are divots and the pillow no longer supports my neck. I have filed a warranty claim with the company. On 10/29/24 I received a reply from Jessica that they cannot replace my pillow because does not meet the guidelines for replacement. This is not acceptable as the pillow no longer supports my neck as it did when first purchased.Business Response

Our pillow warranty covers the following:
