Sears Mattresses Consumer Reviews - Page 3

JACKSON, TENNESSEE -- We bought a Serta mattress from the Sears store here in Jackson, TN on Oct 19th 2011. We were told it would be delivered to our home on Thursday Oct 27th and that we would get a phone call telling us what time. My husband received the call stating it would be between 2:30-4:30 that afternoon. He made arrangements to be home an hour and a half before the earliest delivery time. Our daughter who is 22 called her father at 12:45 telling him they were already there.

She gave her phone to the delivery man and my husband asked they wait 10 minutes for him to get there. They refused. They came in on my daughter who was home alone, trying to go to work and had to call and tell her employer she would be late. They did not bring the bed frame but told my husband they would bring it tomorrow.

He told them no and to wait because he didn't want anyone to sign something he didn't see in case it stated they did deliver the frame and we didn't get it. That's exactly what happened. We didn't even get a copy of it but Sears (although they have been nice about this) states the frame was on the truck and shows it was delivered. My husband who NEVER gets mad is so angry he doesn't know what to do.

I am angry because these men walked in on my daughter without permission, scared her, would not listen to instruction and then they lied on top of everything else. We still don't have our bed frame today and was told it would now be tomorrow.

We were told we would be compensated by being given free shipping. We were supposed to have free shipping anyway. You can't compensate for scaring my daughter. I understand these delivery guys are sub contractors and not employed by Sears but I can tell you one thing... I work in commercial insurance. They are supposed to have some liability insurance as a sub contractor and should be background checked before they are allowed to visit peoples homes. SHAME on Sears. This is so unacceptable!!!

PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA -- We purchased a mattress and box spring set at Sears in Palmdale, CA. The store itself was alright, but the delivery and customer "after care" was horrific. The guys they sent to my home to deliver the products did not speak any English and showed up with hands covered in some sort of black substance. I asked them to wash their hands and even went so far as to provide them a sink, soap and a fresh towel (which had to be trashed after). They put in the box springs and as they were lowering the mattress I saw greasy hand prints all over the bottom and sides of my new $3K bed.

I said "stop... look at that grease and dirt on my purchase, that is disgusting and will invalidate my warranty". The guys, who did not 'speak English' said "oh no, only piss or blood on the top will invalidate warranty, it's no problem". I said it was a problem and I'd like to see the delivery manifest. I asked them to step outside my home, wrote comments on the manifest and took a photocopy, refused to sign for the delivery and called Sears.

Sears said "yes that does invalidate your warranty, we will replace both box springs and the mattress". A week later another truck shows up, with one box spring. We are waiting on two new box springs and a new mattress tomorrow, God help us! This is the very last time I spend my hard earned money at this establishment.

Note: Sears will not provide the name of the delivery company. Sears will not provide the name or ID of the delivery people. How safe do you really feel shopping with a store and having your wife alone at home accepting products in your home from strangers, a group of unidentified men in this day and age? Sears does not care about its customers. Sears does not care about the safety of its female customers in their homes, and they will never receive our business again.

Note 2: The (800) Sears service call center provide incorrect phone numbers when asked for a complaints department. They claim to be running some sort of contest on their sales receipts and they provide you with a web site to give feedback. The only way to actually get the right number is to put "Extremely Dissatisfied" as your survey responses. The number listed is the "Sears National Customer Relations Center", but the guy I talked to tonight (Solomon) Unit # ** said that this department name has not been used for over three (3) years. Sears...you really do suck!

NEW HAMPSHIRE -- SEARS LIAR!!! LIAR!!! LIAR. I am so disappointed in Sears warranty and customers service. I could not imagine that can happen in a country like CANADA!!! Where are the law makers and police to catch all these LIARS who rob innocent people in a very VERY MODERN WAY...

My story is very simple and straight I bought a high end Mattress just thinking that sleep is the most important thing in our lives to get yourself ready for the next day and I paid through my mouth and nose to buy that Mattress and salesman (LIAR A BIG LAIR) told me that this mattress has 10 or 20 years warranty if it sags or bulge or anything goes wrong with the mattress. After buying that mattress in 4 months it has started Bulging and sagging from the sides. I GOT BACKACHE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE...

I called Sears customers service (MOST ILL MANNERED SERVICE REPS... THEY JUST DON'T ABUSE YOU otherwise say everything just to force you to end up the call)... anyway according to their report mattress doesn't have 2 inch depression so they can'™t do anythingCAN YOU BEAT THAT... I'M HAVING BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THE MATTRESS and any blind person can tell you that mattress is sagging and bulging and has dents on both sides of the mattress... I mean that's a limit... then they simply refuse to change or repair the mattress NO MATTER HOW BAD BACKACHE I HAVE!!!

My wife has stopped sleeping on that bed and sleeps on 2 inch mattress on floor because of the pain... that'™s sooo outrageous... I belong to India (A third world developing country) but sorry to say EVEN THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN THERE... THERE IS NO HONESTY IN SEARS PEOPLE. THEY ARE SIMPLY LIARS... NEVER purchase anything from them... so disappointed.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- I purchased a Sealy box spring and mattress set from Sears which cost, on sale, over $ 850.00. After less than 18 months it began to sag in the middle, making a V. I called about the warranty. WHAT A JOKE!!!! They sent out an adjuster who spent the total of 1 minute checking it over. Next day I get a call telling me they will not cover the warranty because there is a small stain on the mattress, which I might add is no where near where it sags and was caused by the delivery men when they set the mattress set up. So I will never never never step foot into a Sears store again to purchase so much as a toothbrush.

BREA, CALIFORNIA -- I will never again buy so much as a sock from this company!!! This store by far is the most dreadful of this low end chain I have yet had the displeasure to deal with!!!!! I purchased a $1500 mattress set on 5/31 and was promised delivery on 6/3. The actual delivery was on 6/13. They promised the box springs were free with the purchase of the mattress... Actual cost of king box spring set $400.

The display mattress was ideal, but the actual bed was the most dreadful piece of crap! It felt like I was sleeping on a cement block. I slept one night on it and called to try to fix the situation the next morning. Customer service gets an f- as well. Nobody at this store claims they know a thing about mattresses and the store manager himself claimed he had no authority and asked me to drive all the way back so he could.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- I purchased a queen mattress set and a full mattress set from Sears. The Delivery date was February 19, 2013 and paid for them to haul away the old mattresses. When they arrived I informed the driver that they were to haul away the old mattresses. He informed me that it wasn't on the sheet and that they don't haul away old mattresses. I informed him that oh yes it is, I paid for this service, if there wasn't any haul away service then I would have gone some place else and purchased my mattresses.

He then stated I will look on the sheet when I go back down stairs. He bought the sheet upstairs and stated that it was on the sheet to haul away the old mattresses. He then started to tell me that the reason that he couldn't haul the mattresses away was because there was a man who worked at the warehouse and broke all out and that it was discovered that he had been bitten by bed bugs and that this was a insurance matter.

I informed the driver "what am I supposed to do with the old mattresses?" He then stated that "we will take them to the alley." I informed him that wasn't what I paid for.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA -- The first purchase I have ever attempted to make at Sears was a mattress and box springs. The lady who helped me ** was knowledgeable and helpful. She told me my mattress would be delivered the following week. Today is the day the mattress was supposed to be delivered. I had not heard from anyone. A call to customer service came up with a guy who could barely speak English, told me it would be delivered in another week, and when I asked to speak to a manager, he put me on hold for 15 minutes. He then told me there was no manager to speak to. I called my local Flagstaff AZ Sears.

The manager said she would look into it. I had not heard back from her so I went to the store where she was rude and confrontational. She said that the delivery date I was given didn't mean anything and I would only hear from Sears if they were going to deliver the mattress. She called me later to say they didn't know if the mattress was in stock in their warehouse and therefore had no idea when it would be delivered. In the meantime, Sears has already charged my credit card for a mattress they don't even know if they have. I have cancelled my order and will get my money back.

CERRITOS, CALIFORNIA -- Bought a queen size bed from Sears 1 years ago. Since then I have returned two because they sagged in the area in which my wife and I sleep in only a 4 month time. Now Sears is running me around through a third party to see if I can now get my money back. This mattress I was told carried a 10 year warranty. When calling in this third party inspection, I received two different stories from Sears Customer support personal. One said I could just go into Sears and pick out a replacement. They would deliver the new selected mattress and pick up the damaged mattress and return it to the manufacture.

The second person said I had to go through this third party which requires me to call it in and wait from what I can tell a this point 3 days for them to set up the appointment to look at the bed. Who knows how long before the decision is made whether I get my refund.

FREEHOLD, NEW JERSEY -- Sears Home Delivery was just at my house to deliver a queen box spring and mattress set. They "attempted" to get the box spring up the stairs and LITERALLY after 5 seconds gave up, and didn't try any more. They said it "wouldn't fit" and I'd need to get a double box spring instead. I live in a townhouse with hundreds of other identical houses around. Everyone around here I've spoken to said their queen box springs fit up their stair case. It just takes a little effort. I'm extremely pissed off that I paid $70 and they didn't even try to get my mattress up the stairs. Now I have a box spring sitting in my living room and a mattress sitting in the way in my bedroom.

Don't ever buy a mattress from Sears. I spent over $850.00 on a queen Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Ocean Whisper in September 2010. Within weeks, the mattress sagged in the middle forming a V. The local Sears gave me an 800 number to call. After several phone calls, emailed pictures, and a discussion with a manager, Sears agreed to send a second mattress. They even agreed to waive the $70.00 delivery charge. The second mattress (brand new) arrived one week ago. It is even worse!

After one week, it sags and forms a V down the center. I called Sears today. They refuse to waive the $70.00 delivery charge. They refuse to refund my money. They care little about their service, their customers, or their products. The manager explained that my warranty starts in September - when I originally purchased the mattress. So, even though my mattress is only one week old, they only acknowledge the original September 2010 purchase date. No returns. No service. Please don't make the same mistake. Sears cares little about customer satisfaction.
