I am filing a formal complaint against Sleep Number regarding the misrepresentation of the warranty and ongoing issues with my mattress.About 2 years ago, I purchased a Sleep Number bed for nearly $7,000, believing it came with a lifetime warranty. However, I later learned this warranty is limited and was not communicated during the sales process.Within months of purchase, I experienced malfunctions requiring replacement parts, including a used pump. Now, nearing two years, my bed goes flat every few hours, forcing me to sleep on the floor while still making payments. I was recently told I must pay for a new prorated mattress, which I find unacceptable.This mattress has become a money pit and has caused significant frustration. I demand that Sleep Number honor their warranty and replace my mattress at no cost, as I was promised at the time of sale.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

Case # 22416998
Dear Better Business Bureau:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the complaint of
our customer, Ms.****
The 1-15 Limited warranty clearly states that: Sleep Number
Corporation (“Sleep Number”) warrants its mattresses, adjustable bases, and
non-adjustable integrated bases against defects in material or workmanship
under normal use and service for a total period of fifteen (15) years from the
date of original purchase consisting of a Full Warranty during the “First
Warranty Year” (the time period between the original purchase date up to, but
not including, the first anniversary of the original purchase date) and a
Limited Warranty thereafter. Labor is not covered after the 1st year. This same
information was provided to the customer with the receipt at the time of
purchase.
Best regards,
Executive Team ConsultantCustomer Answer
Date: 10/14/2024
I am rejecting this response because:
I am writing to reject the response provided by Sleep Number. The company has failed to address the ongoing defects with my bed, which started from the beginning of my ownership. The replacement pump they provided me was a used pump, which has since proven to be faulty. This defective pump has caused additional issues where the bed no longer inflates correctly, severely affecting its functionality.
I was unaware that labor would not be covered past the first year of the warranty. In fact, I was told by the sales representative at the time of purchase that my bed came with a lifetime warranty, which is clearly not the case. I feel misled by Sleep Number’s sales tactics and their product’s performance, especially given the premium price I paid for the bed. Now, the company expects me to purchase a new mattress due to an issue caused by their faulty equipment.
Sleep Number’s limited one-year full coverage warranty for such an expensive product does not reflect the level of quality they claim. I believe this warranty limitation is indicative of their awareness of potential defects in their products, which makes the customer bear the burden of their faulty designs after the first year. I request that Sleep Number offer a more reasonable solution to this ongoing issue, as I should not be responsible for purchasing new parts or a new bed due to defects they provided from the outset.
Thank you for your time and attention.Initial Complaint

Hello,Sleep Number told us the the problem we had with our deflating bed was to buy a new pump. So we listened to the representative and bought the pump. We put it on and still had the same problem. The pump did not fix the issue. When we called Sleep Number to return the pump, they said the pump was non refundable. During the time of purchase, the representative never told us the pump was a non refundable item. We were only told this when we were trying to return it. Sleep Number records their conversations with customers. I'm sure if you listed to the recording, you will not here the repisentive say the item was nun refundable. Had we known, we would have bought the item form a 3rd party for less money and have to ability to return the pump if it didn't work. We trusted and followed the advice of the experts. A Sleep Number representative told us this would fix the problem and it didn't. We shouldn't' be stuck with something we don't need because Sleep Numbers suggestion was wrong. They are the experts and that's the only reason we listened to them and bought the pump. The followed their advisee and they were wrong. We should be able to return the item and get a refund.Business Response

Purchased our Sleep number I 8 bed approximately 14 months ago, at that time Purchased mattress pad protector, pillow,sheets. Had an accident and a mattress pad did not protect bed and left stain. Called to report. All went well. They sent someone out to replace mattress pad, cover and foam. But what they didn't tell me was this replacement foam is not the original bed. It is replacement FOAM! It is not anything like the original I 8 mattress that I had and loved. This does not have the 4 layers of memory ceramic cooling gel and is not soft as the original mattress. They replaced with hard black egg carton foam, they are calling replacement foam. I called immediately to complain as we cannot sleep on this bed that I still owe for. They refuse to replace with new mattress saying my 100 day trail is over on original mattress. I love my original mattress and would not have exchanged that one, this is not that one. This is a whole new bed given to me 2 weeks ago. They refuse to do anything about it. I need help for replacement or return.Business Response

I had half of my lung removed in August and I needed a good bed that would help me up and down. This business sold me a kids mattress ( I was unaware of this at the time) and told me I had 100 days to try it. On the second day I called and complained about the bed and they said I had to keep the base. That was never discussed and I do not have any paperwork stating this. I do feel they were not honest with me and it is not okay for them to force me to keep this base. I have stage 3 lung cancer and I feel i have been taken advantage of by this business. I want this removed from my credit. I am taking this base back to the store today and it will no longer be in my possession. They had every attempt to try to make this right and refused.

I am rejecting this response because: the sales associate Did not point out to me that the base could not be returned. She kept telling me that I could try it for 100 days. I called them on day two and let them know. It was not comfortable. Thats when I found out that the base was not returnable. Because of this misleading information and advertising. I took everything back to the store and then the Associate that was there that day Would not print anything out for me to sign showing that I had returned the base and remotes. After asking him mutable times. He tried arguing with me from the time I came through the door. Which is very unprofessional. I have video evidence of this. But the file is too big to upload here. I am more than willing to send this over if there is another way.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: 1. I tried to get the Sales person to let me sign that I was bringing the remote and other items back but he would not print the paper work and kept talking hateful to me. I am telling you I have video evidence of this and you do not care to see it. 2. Your commercial's and sales **** are misleading by stating that you can try this product for 100 days and return it if your not satisfied. 3. I have stage 3 cancer and the way I was treated by your sales *** is uncalled for. He bullied me and kept arguing with me for over 20 mins and would not print the paper I needed. You now want to get every dime out of me you can and I brought all of these items back. The sales *** that sold me this product DID NOT STATE that I had to keep the base. She said initial, initial, sign and that is what I did. She also did not give me a copy of my paperwork. Your business is Misleading and is not trustworthy. I should have took the time to read everything, however I was sick because I just had half of my lung removed and trusted that I had 100 days to try your product because that was what your sale *** emphasized the entire sale. She new I just had major surgery and was more interested in making a sale instead of being honest. This is not good business and you all should be ashamed of yourself for allowing your sales **** to behave in the manner they have. Especially the man that was bulling me and saying things like " I have people in my family that had cancer and it is not that bad" He was a complete bully. Shame on him and your company.Initial Complaint

Horrible service and ability to have the bed fixed. Haven't inflated correctly in a year!We bought a FlexTop ILE King size bed in the fall of 2020. It started deflating in 2023 and when we called to resolve, since we had a warranty, we were told to follow videos to troubleshoot and fix. It's a king size bed and it required us to lift it to troubleshoot. When we did and it was still deflating, we called to schedule a technician to come and fix. We were told that we had to pay $190 for a technician to come and troubleshoot, even though we already did. After 30 minutes with multiple people and us trying to explain that we already did and what the problem was, we finally were able to get a technician for $427 (warranty apparently starts disappearing pretty much as soon as you get the bed). There is still no guarantee that the bed will be fixed because techs apparently do not have supplies. Based on non-technical user experience, the company orders parts that the user must pay for and hope that they will be enough to fix the problem.Service is horrible, tech support is dismal, warranty is a joke! We paid >$6K for this bed. Never again will we buy a Smart Number bed and we would not recommend it to anyone!!!Business Response

We bought a sleep number bed believing that theyd stand behind their product. Weve had nothing but problems with this mattress. We bought it about a year ago and paid $4000. The money isnt the issue. The mattress is falling apart. There have been service technicians to our home several times over the past year. Some parts were replaced. The last time the techs were here, August I believe, they told me that the same problems are happening over and over again. I was also told by the ***** that this was a promotional mattress and inferior to their regular mattresses. We were not told that this was a promotional product when we ordered it. We called several times to complain pretty much begging for a better mattress but they put us off until the warranty had expired. Im sure the techs that were here will verify that this mattress had been falling apart. All I ask is that they offer me an upgraded mattress. Im not looking for a refund. I just want a mattress that we can actually sleep on! After all Ive been through with these people I think we deserve at least that.Business Response

We had to throw the bed a way they will not make this right they wont give me a new bad Ive talked to the corporate headquarters they just want money money money and I paid like $4000 for it and I think thats wrong. They should stand by their product and they should send me a brand new replacement bed the one I got from them was no good . And it is still under warranty.Business Response
