My fiancée and I went to buy a mattress on 1/6/24. They did not go over the terms or conditions of warranty nor explained that this mattress was ineligible for a refund. There was absolutely no discussion of this with us. There were no initials or anything in the designated checkboxes to indicate one way or another on our receipt. We didn’t notice this until after the delivery. Furthermore, the salesperson misspelled my fiancée’s first name on the receipt.
The mattress was delivered on 1/8/24, and we were not prompted to sign for the delivery.
The memory foam bed was not nearly as firm as the test model the store had us try out, but by then it had been 4 hours since we got it (as it needed to decompress, as a memory foam bed), and the delivery people were long gone. Calling the store, it turns out their copy of the receipt was allegedly initialed, and this mattress was apparently ineligible for a refund according to the salesperson. Although the salesperson “wasn’t supposed to show me”, he showed me his copy of the receipt to confirm this, via text message from his personal cell phone the next day. He did say he would speak to his supervising manager and get back to me that evening. No callback.
I called the next day and he said he left a message but that was not the case. I was then told to file a warranty claim for an exchange because the bed was supposed to be firmer than I’d claimed, but it was way softer. I did, but it will apparently only be good for an exchange and not a refund.
We want our money back. My fiancée is getting no sleep and is getting out of bed with severe back spasms from this, starting when we first tried sleeping in the bed. There is no support for her back or neck from this mattress as all of the edges sink into the box spring supports. This is wholly unacceptable.

I purchased a King Sized Mattress from Metro Mattress on 5/22/2023. My customer number is *******. The sales number *********. The salesman assured me that in addition to the mattress order that 2 twin box springs which would be appropriate for use under the King sized mattress. I told the salesman that it would not work based upon my bed frame but he insisted that they would (so despite my better judgement, I purchased the 2 twin box springs). When the delivery men came, they agreed with me that the twin sized mattresses would NOT work with my bed frame.
I signed a form that day declining the 2 twin box springs delivery and I only accepted the mattress. Since then, I have called the manager ****** **** monthly asking to be reimbursed for the 2 twin box springs. Each time I have been told something different why I haven't received my reimbursement i.e. waiting for corporate to approve, waiting for his manager to be available ( I called on the weekend and they needed a week day to process the reimbursement), and 3 weeks ago I was told that the "check was in the mail". I have been receiving the "run around" for months and do not know how to resolve this issue.
The model number the twin box springs is * ****** *********** ****** *** ** ***********. The total for this $ 599.99
I am so frustrated that I was also talked into a mattress protector as well that I don't use or want. Model:: ******* ***** ****** ***** **** **** Protect $229.99
I would appreciate any help with my refund. Thank you.
Sincerely,
**** *****Business Response

My wife and I purchased a bed from Metro Matress after speaking with a sales representative and trying out a bunch of mattresses. We settled on a *****-***** ********* and had it delivered. We were told we had a sleep trial for the bed to see if it suited us. After a week of sleepless and painful nights we called to see if we could switch or exchange the matress. The sales person said we needed to sleep on it for about a month to "break" the bed in. We knew *****-***** has a 90 day sleep trial so we figured we were good. We called after 1 month and said it was still uncomfortable and asked to exchange the matress. We were told that the 90 day trial was only if you purchased directly through *****r-***** and metro matress only offers a 30 day trial. We asked why we were advised to try it for a month if their policy was only 30 days. We received no help and are now stuck with a matress we are uncomfortable on and will be paying on for 5 years. In my opinion this company lies to their customers just to make a sale and does not help when it's needed.Business Response

They sold us a *********** we were told we would receive it in three days it took about 21/2 weeks. Upon delivery the box spring was torn they gave us the floor model and floor model matress which came with multiple stains and a beat up remote with dead batteries. After multiple calls and complaints for an additional two weeks they finally ship us another bed and box spring promising and ensuring it all be brand new. YET Again box spring came messed up was loud and making noises the matress was another filthy floor model!!!?!!I took more photos and reached out to their regional manager ***** who never even once responded back. I bought the bed for my girlfriend who has degenerative disc in her neck and spine and I myself run my own home improvement company so my job is physically demanding. I spent alot of money for this bed that I'm still making payments on and it's wrong to have to go through all these issues when we just wanted the proper bed we paid for we received trash and we were repeatedly treated wrongfully. I am writing now to you in hopes to get this situation resolved.Business Response

Metro Mattress has already come and done an inspection. Metro Mattress came about 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday night at 5pm and did an inspection. Therefore, this inspection that Metro Mattress is claiming needs to be done has already been done. Therefore, we would appreciate an offer of resolution in this matter.

Please make my nightmare go away. I bought your ***** king sized adapt bed
---Big Nightmare Was Lied to Manipulated. Confused I'm disabled.
With no disrespect I hated my ***** .Even delivery driver was nasty and rude.
Was lied to by metromattress who sells ***********, swindled into spending $5,000 for a mattress that was never for me. It caused my back to go out several times. I could never sleep more than 3 hours.
I got physically sick. And still am. In fact, I've developed a cough, Due to these 90 days of hell. I can't get rid of ever since I tried sleeping on this supposed soft mattress which is hard as the floor. I never broke it in, It never molded to my body.
I was told they would honor ***** 90-day guarantee. And waive $99 return fee.
I tried to contact the regional sales manager who sold me mattress.
On day 11, and 13 telling him the nightmare I was having asked for advice. That if he wasn't able to help me I want mattress picked up at once.
***** is a shady salesman that will say anything to get the sale, then abandon you once sale is done.
I have his personal email. ***** **********
He claimed it was day 92 when I txted him to come pick up the mattress. After sending him several emails. Stating he won't take it back.
I'm on *** disabled both physically /mentally. ***** * from Metro Mattress lied, took advantage of me, and said he won't take it back before 90 days.
Everything he said was a lie,
I tried to return mattress on the 11th day [ 6/20] and resent ***** email on [6/22]13th day of ownership,
and then what I thought was the [90th day] ***** said was the 92 nd day.
***** was unclear by so many things. I thought he said I had to give it at least 90 days to break in the bed before he would take it back.
I truly am confused by this whole thing and ***** was not honest to me on ANYTHING.

Metro Mattress has a 30 day comfort exchange fee, which is printed on the sales terms and conditions that the customer signs and is responsible for. *********** offers a 90 day comfort exchange program, not Metro Mattress.The reason the customer can not contact the manager he speaks of, is because that employee is out on medical leave and unavailable, even to Metro Mattress. All mattresses have a break in period and the fact that the customer was advised to was advised to wait beyond 11 days was to be sure the mattress properly broke in. If the customer waited beyond the 90 days Metro Mattress would not be able to return the mattress to *********** on behalf of the customer.I have attached Metro Mattress' sales terms and conditions. Metro Mattress does not mediate warranties for ***********.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. ***** never responded on the 11th or 13th day to attempt to resolve my complaint. Instead after the sale he never responded to any of my emails. Where before the sale he always responded to my email. Doesn't this seem a little shady behavior? ***** told me that he would always be there for me and help me if I had any concerns with the new mattress. He failed to live up to his promises. And was never there for me. I trusted him and he broke that trust. In addition, the mattress never molded to my body. Gave me health problems galore. Put my back out in many times. I overheated, and never was able to sleep more than 3 hours. It is absolutely the worst nightmare, and mattress I ever slept on. Plus it was out of my price range. I never before trusting ***** spent more than $900 in my life on a mattress. I beg of you to reconsider these facts. And help me get rid of the nightmare that's wasting space in my bedroom. I haven't slept on your mattress since Sept 9th. I'm also disabled and on ***. This is 6 months of my income. Won't you please I beg you help me get rid of this problem. I still owe $731 on it. Also never disclosed to me is $49 annual charge with ******* finance company. You see why anyone in my situation would not be happy? Never once was any of my complaints and problems acknowledged during this trial.

Was part of our 90 day agreement. $5,582.50 I'm on hook for in total. and for trouble since I read the platform is non refundable I do wish to keep for its necessary for my newer king bed in box. Just want mattress returned, and to have no more responsibility to this company. ***** said he'd throw in platform thing. When filling out warranty online it states no return. ---PS if you do this, I'll allow you to keep the ******* account open til end of year -12 mos. Which I guess will be in May 2024 or Jun 2024. Because I still need a good pillow. The account has allowed me to gain several points in my credit rating. through the $7500 credit limit. Trying to find something positive to say. Since sadly I can't with your bed. Nov 21st 843AM ****, you can keep the base. We do not warranty or service the bases, so yes, you would deal with the manufacturer directly for the base.I will contact the store when they open and let them know that this will be for mattress only.

Purchased queen mattress and adjustable frame from Metro Mattress, 600 Jefferson Road, Rochester, NY on 8/9/2023.
Amount: $2,499.08
I changed my mind in 2 days because adjustable frame/mattress would not work for my setup.
Let Metro Mattress know on 8/11/2023. They cancelled delivery.

I bought a mattress on August 15th at the Metro Mattress in Middletown, NY. It was a King size and I wasn't sure it would fit and they told me I had 30 days to return. It was in a box and I was required to buy a mattress cover as well for $119. When I got home and measured, I realized it would not fit in room, so I did not open the box or the package for mattress cover. When I went to return, I was told I couldn't. They could not fit me a queen anywhere. This was so deceiving. Looking at the amount of claimants, it is staggering that this company is still in business. I then told them I am returning an unopened box as they could not find me a queen mattress to trade. Another sneaky thing is they told me I had 30 days to return and that they could order me a queen mattress, but that would be a month. This would negate the 30 day return!! Also I opened a credit card to pay for purchase and they told me I wouldn't have a payment for 60 days. I just got the credit card statement and I owe on October 1st!! They then told me that they would trade for a queen floor model for the same price. I returned the cover mattress and I was expecting a $119 and when they gave me a statement to sign, it appears they charged me another $100 after saying that they would exchange. I thought they were crediting me $100 and saw the extra charge after. I called them and their headquarters called me back and told me that they would not return the $100 and told me to file a complaint at BBB. This company is one of the most awful experiences I have ever had. Lies upon lies. There has to be some sort of safeguard for consumers with this company. They have BBB Accredited all over their store, but I believe they use it for credibility and making the consumer feel they have recourse.Business Response

The customer assured the salesperson that the requested size would fit, then, per the customer's statement went home to measure after the fact. The sales terms and conditions (attached) clearly state what is required for an exchange. The $99 is not a refund, it's the fee for a comfort exchange. Metro Mattress offers exchanges on qualified merchandise. No refunds.Customer Answer

This is a complete lie! I never told them it would fit. If I did, why would they give me 30 days to return. I didn’t even measure at that point. I just stopped in and was assured I could return. That is clearly on my receipt that I uploaded. I took a floor sample. That is not an upgrade. The money is not even an issue. Their deceptive business practice shows me what kind of company they are.The fact that they blatantly lied is very concerning. I believe people should be aware that there is no bottom for this company!!! I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. They are an unethical company.

I purchased a mattress in early August, and after several delivery delays, one because they said they were at my address but they never showed up, and another when the mattress wasn't on the truck for that day, I received my mattress on August 15th...about 10 days later I contacted my salesman (******* who had been great during the delivery debacle) and told him that I wanted to get the less firm pillow type mattress, the one I purchased was super firm...they were from the same manufacturer but one wasn't as firm and the pillow top offered more comfort and my wife has scoliosis and it was causing her lower back pain...he told me to give it 2-3 weeks to break it in and if it was still an issue, I could exchange it as long as it was within 30 days...I contacted my salesman on September 11th, he gave me his private number cause of the delivery issues and he was off the day it was supposed to be delivered and he wanted to make sure I received it, and said he had just left the company but to contact either a **** or John and they would help me exchange it...I called **** today and he looked it up on the computer and on his computer it still hadn't been delivered...so that tells me they aren't as professional as I though...he told me it shouldn't be an issue but had to get in the replacement order today, August 13th to meet the 30 day deadline...he called me back and stated that I didn't purchase a mattress protector, which I was never told to, and they could not take it back..when I said nobody told me that was the deal to return it, I was only told I had a 30 day return policy...all he said was "that's probably why your salesman isn't with the company anymore"...so basically I am stuck with a mattress that is causing my wife more severe problems than she already has because the salesman I purchased a mattress from was not trained properly and for that he was let go from the company..I would have purchased the protector because of my wife's scoliosis to protect myself.Business Response
