  I am 89 years old. I purchased a mattress from the Chillicothe location less than 3 years ago. It is covered under a warranty for defects. 

  I contacted them a year ago. they came out twice, once they turned the mattress for me. And another time, they took it back to the factory, and brought it back the same day, saying nothing was wrong with it.

  The sides are much lower than the middle, so much so that I am afraid I will roll out of it on to the floor.

  I am in receipt of your
  letter dated May 8, 2024 regarding complaint # ********* 
  
  The
  Original Mattress Factory believes in doing business the right way and we stand
  firmly behind our products and their quality.  
  We realize that we will never be able to satisfy 100% of our customers,
  but when a situation does arise we do our best to resolve any issues and strive
  for the win-win solution. 
  
  We have thoroughly reviewed
  all documentation on our correspondences with the complainant since her initial
  purchase on November 23, 2021 and feel we have absolutely stood behind our
  product in this situation. 
  
  In
  the unusual situation where a customer has a non-warranty issue related to
  personal comfort preferences, we offer a one-time replacement option, which we
  have offered on several occasions to the complainant.  The original purchaser may within one (1)
  year of the date of delivery with the proof of purchase, tender the original
  product to us for disposal or provide us with a receipt showing that the
  product has been donated to a legitimate charitable organization.  We will then provide the customer with a
  replacement mattress and/or box spring from our current model selection for a
  replacement fee of 25% of the list price of the lower priced selected model for
  comfort issues.  We will absorb 75% of
  the list price to assist the customer who made a selection mistake.  In addition, the customer will be responsible
  for the difference between the cost of the model originally selected and the
  newly selected model.  The customer is
  also responsible for all applicable pick-up and delivery fees.
  
  In response to the complainant’s
  concerns about the performance of her mattress, our records show that we have
  done the following to date:
  
  On Tuesday, November 23, 2021, the complainant went into our Chillicothe
  store to purchase a full set of Orthopedic Ultra Plush, which was
  delivered on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. 
  
  On Friday, November 3, 2023, the complainant contacted our
  Chillicothe store stating that the mattress was defective, and that the
  center of the mattress rolled to the edges.  After listening to the complaint, our
  sales associate referred the complaint to our customer service
  representative.
  After setting up a service call, our customer service manager
  visited the residence on Thursday, November 9, 2023 to conduct a full
  inspection of the mattress set.  The
  in home inspection revealed that the mattress appeared to be built to
  specifications, showed a body impression on one side that was well within
  expected tolerances and the mattress was performing as intended.  An explanation was provided to our
  customer regarding a product defect versus a comfort preference.  Since the complainant was still
  convinced that the product was defective, we offered a factory inspection
  of the mattress, which was scheduled for Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
  During the factory inspection, the mattress was disassembled piece
  by piece and inspected for any material or structural defects. The top
  panels were trimmed about an inch to account for normal stretch during
  almost two years of use. The complainant was offered a comfort exchange,
  outside of the normal time limit, but declined the offer.
  On Sunday, March 3, 2024, the complainant again called our
  Chillicothe store to state that she was still rolling to the edge.
  On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, our customer service manager again
  visited the residence to assure the mattress was performing appropriately,
  and found no structural issues, flipped the mattress and again explained
  the expected crowning of the mattress and the option for comfort replacement .
  On Friday, March 22, 2024, the complainant called our Chillicothe
  store stating that she was still unhappy and that she did not want to talk
  to the customer service manager, but rather his boss.
  On Thursday, April 4, 2024, our sales manager called the complainant,
  explained again the difference between a defective product/warranty issue
  and a comfort issue. He explained that the mattress she chose has a crown
  (a slight rise in the center of the mattress) due to the amount of foam.
  He further explained that we have confirmed the mattress has no structural
  defects.
  
  In
  response to the complainant’s desired settlement for a new mattress, it is our
  conclusion that the mattress that was originally chosen is in good working
  order and that her complaint of roll to the edge is created by the amount of
  foam in that type of mattress. By replacing the mattress, we would not solve
  the issue but rather duplicate it. It appears that her concerns are issues of
  comfort selection rather than any defect in the manufacturing of the
  mattress.  To address this, we are
  willing to extend the offer of a comfort replacement, if she so chooses until
  June 14th. 
  
  We have a product warranty
  for those rare situations in which there is a defect in material or
  workmanship.  Please note that the Orthopedic
  Ultra Plush mattress set purchased by the complainant has a 12 year,
  non-prorated warranty. See Limited
  Warranty Service Policy & Mattress Care Guide for details.  Please understand that comfort is not
  guaranteed and that it is up to each individual to select a product that is the
  right comfort choice for them. 
  
  If you have any additional
  questions or would like more information on this matter, please do not hesitate
  to contact me.
  
  Sincerely,

  We purchased a King Size Mattress in 2017. It had a 12 year warranty. We began having problems with the mattress three months ago or so & called the store to tell them we were having back problem issues sleeping on the bed. So they sent out a Customer Service Rep to inspect the mattress and was scheduled for October 19 but was cancelled because the rep was sick. The inspection took place the following Tuesday, October 24. Upon inspection, the Rep measured the bed and took different measurements and stated the bed was off by over an inch on each side. He suggested they take it back to the factory and open the mattress up to see what problems existed as there were definitely some and fix them and re-Strech the cover. He said the mattress would be even more firm which we did not want. I asked him if we could get a pro rated credit for another, softer mattress and he said he would talk to the powers to be. He finally called me back on Thursday, two days later and stated I could get a $200 credit towards another mattress which was what it would cost them to take ours back to the factory to fix. I said after talking to my wife, I would take the $200 but would apply it to a different brand mattress as I no longer trusted their brand. If this one costing over $1200 only lasted 5 years I wanted something different. They refused to give me a $200 check towards a different mattress. I would not buy another one from Original Mattress Factory after this experience. So I am looking to have the BBB contact this business on my behalf to help us get the $200 they promised. Just because I selected a completely different brand, they said no. This is not right. We selected a Plush Hospitality Mattress as we have had good luck sleeping at Marriott Hotels, so this was what we went with. We would like the $200 back from Original Mattress Factory. This is a terrible business attitude towards a customer that experiences a bad product from them.

  I am in receipt of your email
  dated October 31, 2022 regarding complaint #********. 
  
  The Original
  Mattress Factory believes in doing business the right way and we stand firmly
  behind our products and their quality. We realize that we will never be able to
  satisfy 100% of our customers, but when a situation does arise we do our best
  to resolve any issues and strive for the win-win solution.  These efforts
  have allowed us to maintain our A+ rating with the BBB.
  
  In response
  to Mr. *******s desired settlement for a refund, please understand that our
  warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Our warranty covers body
  impressions with more than 1.5 inch indentation if the mattress is supported by
  a matching box spring and used with an appropriate frame or center support/slat
  system. In the event that service is required from a defect the mattress and/or
  box spring will be repaired or replaced.
  
  Conversely, please understand
  that for the protection of the consumer, The Original Mattress Factory sells only
  new bedding products with all new materials.  Therefore, we do not accept
  returns or exchanges on upholstered bedding products, including, but not
  limited to mattresses, box springs, pillows, sheets, mattress pads, covers and
  protectors.  This position is clearly stated on signs displayed on our
  sales desks, in the warranty card, on our website, on the back of the invoice
  the customer received at the time of purchase and stamped on the front of the
  invoice the customer signed at point of delivery. 
  
  If the concern is one of comfort,
  within one year of purchase.  Because we
  do not re-sell previously used bedding products there is a replacement fee to
  the following: 25% of the less expensive mattress only price, any applicable
  transportation costs and any applicable retail charges (if you select a more
  expensive model).  The existing mattress
  can either be donated to a 501c3 charity (proof of donation to be submitted to
  us) or disposed of by The Original Mattress Factory.  
  
  In this case, we have gone above
  and beyond our normal warranty and comfort assurance policies. In response to
  Mr. *******s concerns with his mattress that be purchased on August 30, 2017,
  we have taken the following steps:
  
  October 13, 2022: We received the initial complaint from Mr. ****** that they felt like the mattress was causing them back pain. They stated they had concerns about how the mattress was wearing.
  
  October 13, 2022: Our customer service manager contacted the Mr. ****** to set up an appointment on October 19th, 2022 at customer’s home to inspect the product and understand customers concerns directly.
  
  October 19, 2022: Customer service manager was ill and unable to attend work. Customer was informed of the situation and ensured that the customer service manager would create an alternative appointment.
  
  October 20, 2022: Customer service manager set up an alternative appointment for October 25, 2022.
  
  October 25, 2022: Upon inspecting the mattress the customer service manager measured body impressions in the mattress which measured a max of .75” (warranty covers body impressions with more than 1.5 inch indentation). After inspecting the mattress we found the quilting to be oversized by one inch. The service manager discussed that we would be happy to bring the mattress in for service to address any issues with the panels as well as double check the internal material and structural components. We explained that by tightening the panels it could result in a firmer mattress.
  
  The customer stated that they
  understood that there was money involved in the process of servicing the
  mattress and asked if he could have a discount towards a softer mattress. He
  stated that the mattress was already too firm already.
  
  The customer service manager stated
  that the warranty was not set up to allow for such an accommodation, but we
  would discuss that as an option. The service manager also offered a piece of
  foam free of charge to help soften the mattress should we make the correction
  on the mattress (retail value of $55.00). The customer refused.
  
  October 27, 2022: Our concern was that the customer was unsatisfied with the mattress, and by correcting the panels we would be making the mattress firmer than what the customer was comfortable with. The customer was likewise outside the 1 year window of the comfort replacement policy. We agreed to offer a discount of $200.00 off of a new mattress, which would be used to replace their current mattress.
  
  Customer stated that he would prefer
  use the $200 to shop somewhere else. We said that we stand by our offer to
  service the mattress, provide a 1” piece of foam to help soften the mattress or
  provide a $200 discount to the selection of a softer option from our offerings.
  
  The customer declined.
  
  Thank
  you for your assistance in bringing this mattress to resolution. Please call me
  at (614)921-1223 if you have any questions or I can provide any additional
  information.
  
  Sincerely,

  While we are confident we clearly expressed the terms of the
  resolution, I realize that I cannot answer for what was heard. As a result, we
  will defer to the customer’s desire that they receive $200.00. I will wait for further direction until then.
