Poor quality of mattress

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We purchased a king and a queen sorthopedic set at the same time. We spent lots of time in the store testing the many mattresses before purchasing.

The delivery people damaged the king mattress because they folded it in half the wrong way to carry it up the stairs. We contacted the company and a representative came and agreed that the mattress was damaged and that it would be repaired. One year after the repair the mattress has obvious valleys in it. We contacted the company and a different representative came and measured the top of the mattress and said that the valleys were body depressions and to rotate and flip the mattress.

So we did. The mattress still has valleys in it and when you sleep on it your body rolls into the valley and your back and hips pull out of alignment resulting in chiropractor visits. We contacted the company again and can not get someone to respond. The queen mattress has also developed a valley in it and whoever sleeps on it wakes up with a backache.

The mattresses do not last after a year's use and customer service to resolve issues is not satisfactory. They are not the company that they used to.D

Buyer Beware! - Dissappointing Mattress - Worse customer service

There are lots of good options for a quality mattress with good customer service and support.

Unfortunately I found out the hard (expensive) way that the Original Mattress company is not one of them. My frustrating experience with them has had the feel more akin to buying a used car, rather than quality bedding. Based on my recent experience I would strongly recommend that someone looking for a quality bed/mattress as well as professional customer engagement/service/support look elsewhere.

After testing a number of mattresses on display at the Clearwater location, I selected a comfortable mattress /box springs/frame set for $1,600. The mattress selected was not in stock, so delivery was scheduled for the following week.

When the bed was delivered it was immediately clear that this knew was not the same mattress I had selected.

The bed had the feel of laying on a hard floor - Laying on the bed for any period if time caused physical back pain. After trying and failing to sleep for three miserable nights, I returned to the store explaining the matress delivered was not the same mattress that I selected in the store - and was told as I had taken delivery there was nothing they could do - unless of course I wanted to buy another mattress for "only" a 25% fee (again this was three days after it was delivered and had not been slept in!).

After restating that the mattress delivered was not the one I ordered, the below is a list of the "customer service" provided to date:

a. I was initally told that I should give 30 days to get used to the bed and "the pain would likely go away"

b. After being persistent that the bed delivered was not the bed I tested - a manager scheduled a visit to my house to "inspect" the mattress." This "inspection" consisted of the manager showing up with two yardsticks, taking 30 seconds to "measure" the mattress, before informing me that based on his opinion the mattress was just fine.

c.

Even though neither my or my wife had been able to sleep a full night on this bed - and trying to do so resulted in painful backaches - I was again advised that I needed to give this uncomfortable bed a few more night "to let your body get used to the new bed."

d. The manager then pulled out a piece of 1" foam padding out of his vehilce and suggest I put the foam padding on top of the new mattress - To be clear the manager of the store is sugggesting that I need to attach (tape?) a piece of 1 inch foam to my new $1,600 mattress in order to make it functional!

- I again returned to the store to At this point I again returned to the store again returned to the store When returning to the store to again complain that the bed delivered was not the bed I had ordered - I was told (with a straight face) - I was mistaken and that customer comfort is subjective - I was then told that I probably seleced the wrong mattress because I didn't take my shoes off when initially laying on the mattresses in the stores; and the best of all: - I may have selected the wrong mattress because I was wearing jeans when testing the mattresses in the store - whereas no one sleeps in jeans at night.

At this point I'm stuck with a bed from this company that I will never use, and the only resolution offered is for me to give them more money (25% fee plus the difference of the cost of another mattress -about $840). The whole situation has the feel of a bait and switch/nickel and dime hustle.

Just about every other mattress manufactured stands behind their product and offeres much better customer service and customer experience.

Three weeks after spending $1,600 at this company, I'm back shopping for a new mattress set - but it will not be from the Original Mattress Company. Suggest you strongly consider the importance of customer service and support as well before considering this company.

Finally, in case you are wondering about the positive reviews here, it's worth noting that the company aggressively solicites positive reviews and feedback via sweepstakes surveys.

Miss My Wife

Original Mattress Factory - Miss My Wife
Within the first couple months, we noticed that both my wife and I were forming lower areas on each side of the mattress, with a hill in between us. We are both about 160 pounds. The store manager suggested we rotate the mattress, and we do, but there is no position that removes the hill between us. Because the King mattress requires a set of box springs, I can't help thinking the hill is caused by the edges of these two together down the center. The photo doesn't quite capture it, but there is a visible shadow on either side of the higher center.

According to the Original Mattress Factory return policy, it is possible to address a side-related issue for a 25 to 50% fee. There is also the option to exchange the mattress if it isn’t comfortable.

If you have a comfort-related issue with your new mattress, you have one year from the time of possession to address any comfort-related issues with your new mattress. Within this time, you have the ability to reselect a different model for a fee of 25% of the less expensive mattress or set price. You may find more information about the Original Mattress Factory in the article “Mattress Firm vs Original Mattress Factory Pros and Cons.

You may also reach out to the Original Mattress Factory customer care team for assistance. The company contact information is available on the Original Mattress Factory Contacts tab on the Pissed Consumer website.

You guys need to do your research better the original mattress factory has no stores outside of the USA and the mattress firm vs original mattress factory is very inaccurate on both companies... I love it this author has no clue what she is talking about terrible research on both companies...

this is a lazy Millennial trying to act smart typical millennial there’s a reason your generation has such a bad reputation.... You’re not trying to be helpful at all you’re just trying to hurt two companies

Piece of Junk

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This mattress looks like it is 20 years old. The store does not back up the mattress.

They sent us a piece of foam and told us to flip the mattress every 3 months. After reading the reviews on the internet, I have found out that we are not the only people having this problem. I would not buy their product.

I could not give this company any stars, except they need to start listening to their customers and make a better product. They are not the company they once were.

Don’t buy from them

Guest

I think I bought the same. What was delivered was completely different from what we tried in the store.

The mattress delivered is so uncomfortable we can hardly sleep on it. It leaves painful areas on our hips after 2-3 minutes.

Worst ripoff of my life as a consumer. I hate these people.

Very Angry in Monroe N

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I am a paraplegic and I bought an adjustable bed from Original Matress Company in Monroe NC. When you raise the bed up and down the matress slides and pushes the matress catch bar out of the holes on the bottom. This make me have to sleep with the matress down to the point that bend is not in the place where my back bends. Call Original Matress in Monroe they sent someone out to access the problem after three weeks the guy come back with a Velcro strap to put around bed he put it on I made the bed go up and down and the matress does the same thing even without me being in it. I Have called back several times and all I get is “ we don’t have a fix for it”. Terrible customer service and a terrible product. I would advise anyone not to buy from them if this is the way they treat their customers. My old bed was worn out but I wish I had it back at least I could sleep through the night without be in pain and uncomfortable.

Off gassing of the newest models is a problem

Older couple, been buying OMF beds for years but had to return the latest purchase. The "normal" off gassing lasted over 6 months and was making my husband sick. Original Mattress Factory took the bed back. They did right by us but it is frustrating. We never had this before with their beds. I think it is the dark fabric, the customer service guy thinks it's the foams inside. Either way, please would you guys go back to using the old materials? They didn't stink, not even from the first day and the beds were wonderful.

We have Orthopedic EuroTop Set(King) that was purchased 12-19-17 as Christmas gift.We have spent the last year trying to get the Original Mattress Factory to work we us because of constant back problems.They have removed the mattress and kept in for a week(asked if we wanted to pick it up)and was told something was missing inside the mattress when delivered back to us.The very next day Matt called to ask how the mattress was doing?You think he would have waited a tad bit longer!Again constant back problems so I called back and of course Matt called left a message saying he was wanting to talk but the problem is they DO NOT HONOR their warranty.They tell you they will replace the mattress for 25% more on a new one!!!!! After spending $1,777.39 they still wanted 25% more.Am I pissed???You damn cookie I am! I sleep on a 20 year mattress rather then the Eurotop to relieve my back pain.Honor your warranty OMF!!!

Back pain is a comfort issue warrantees do not cover comfort from any corporation on any item. Sounds to me like you want your money back because your back hurts that has nothing to do with the quality of the product you snowflake I bet you're overweight your back hurts because you have what's called lordosis which is what pregnant women get

Whoever wrote this review about a mattress at OMF has never bought a mattress before. No companies accept returns on mattresses. Welcome to Earth. I've bought 3 mattresses from OMF. One was just the wrong size. I bought a queen instead of a full. Guess what. No returns but you can get 50% off the next buy. I donated my other one and took the full tax deduction. Seems fair to me. My personal advice would be to buy the orthopedic luxury firm mattress. It's a basic no nonsense standard mattress that's well made. The review above is ridiculous. I have a neighbor a little like that. He'll use something for 6 months and then want to return it. Yes I'm aware they just bought the mattress. That's why they have models all over the floor. Lie down on them.

I agree that they will work with you I’ve bought from them many times, just last year I bought one for my mother in a nursing home facility she said it was too firm guess what I bought another one and it was only 25% of the total cost of the new mattress seems fair to me my mother’s 93 years old so she was unable to come in and lay down on the mattress so I had to guess, you’re just complaining like most people do because you chose the wrong mattress and now you want the company to give you your money back. I know they tell you you can’t return them...

Be an adult and take responsibility for your own actions in life that’s what’s wrong with this entire country lately, it’s full of a bunch of big babies like you. Grow up!

I disagree. I bought the mattress you mentioned.

It is horrible. Original Mattress Factory will do nothing to correct. They just want me to spend more money.

Or should I say waste more money. A nightmare of an experience.

They Damaged Mattress during delivery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Purchase of King orthro was second mattress . Delivermen damaged coils, hinging during unprofessional delivery on a Saturday. That Monday contacted store in Douglaville, GA. A 'fix-it' guy came to my home a week later, inspected the mattress and acknowledged damage. They pick-up the mattress and returned it to their factory to open and do an internal inspection. I didn't pay for a damaged, re-opened, repaired mattress. I requested a new mattress of same type. I refused re-delivery, so they still have the mattress. AmEx reversed charges after a month long investigation. I went and purchased two other kings'. One month later, after recevieving an intimidating response from the Original mattress Factory, AmEx reverses their decision. I no longer need a King mattress, but am expected to pay for a mattress that the Original Mattress Factory has. They could have resolved this months ago. There are warranties that donate returned mattresses to charity. The Original Mattress Factory chose this route!

FYI the only way American Express Visa MasterCard or any other card provider will reverse the disputed charge is if you are in the wrong. They always initiate an immediate credit to the account pending the outcome of the investigation it's in your card term agreement.

There are laws that they have to follow so according to your statement The mattress factory did everything they agreed to do in your purchase agreement which is a legally binding contract might I add and I'm sure they'll bring your mattress back, since obviously you own it... i'd be willing to bet there's a clause in their warranty that they will repair or replace at their discretion all warranties have that clause does not matter what the product is...

but this is the world we live in nobody is responsible for their own actions anymore and everybody is the victim.... pretty sad state of affairs we have become a nation of pansies

Yeah this person is crazy no way American Express would let the merchant keep the money if the merchant was in the wrong I work for a credit card processor I see this type of stuff happens all the time The only way that you get to keep your money is if you prove the fraud... it's funny by this person issuing a charge back they committed fraud against the mattress company lucky for them Credit card companies don't actually prosecute people for attempting fraud against them unless it exceeds $10,000....

there's a reason credit card provider have people sign an affidavit stating that this is true and accurate when you issue a chargeback... be lucky that company is not pressing charges against you... what an idiot...

you basically put online that you committed fraud... your like these young kids these days that rob peoples houses and post the video on YouTube and wonder why they get arrested

Bought top of the line mattress. Ruts in less than 30 days.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am a middle-class person, so $1500+ for a mattress and box springs was a lot of money for me, a major purchase. I bought the top-of-the-line mattress and box springs in a queen size.

My husband and I are normal-weight people, and we stated our weight to the salesperson in case that would impact which mattress we should consider. Within 30 days of deliver there were two sunken areas on the mattress where we sleep and a raised area at the sides and middle. When we make the bed it looks terrible, like we have an old, worn-out mattress under the linens.

We bought the mattress and box springs because our old set was too firm and causing us hip pain. Guess what? After 2-3 weeks of blissful comfort on the new set, we are now back to almost the same level of discomfort both while in the bed and when we get up.

The return policy is tough luck. Your only recourse is to exchange the mattress and box springs for another model (plus some charge). Since we blindly trusted that their products were quality products and bought the top-of-the-line set, where does that leave us? Trying a cheaper model?

Any mattress with two sunken areas after less than 30 days of use is a piece of junk. Don't be fooled by their folksy, earnest commercials. Spend your hard-earned money on a known name-brand mattress and box springs.

Sincerely,

Susan T

They’ve changed attitudes for the bad

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I also had been a happy previous customer til this last purchase. We bought a $1400 California queen pillow top as I had purchased many years ago and it was a great mattress for 14 years. I checked around before going back to omf and couldn’t find anyone that makes a cal queen. Since I’d bought and loved the previous mattress I figured it was safe to buy again from omf. 11 months later we noticed a low spot in the mattress and we were waking up with back problems. I called omf and they sent someone out, he agreed it had a 1” indentation but said per specs they’re allowed up to 1-1/2” indentation (what????). Representative said they could take it back to factory take it apart inspect to see if they could find a problem. They picked it up had it for a day and sent it back and said they didn’t find anything wrong with it. That night sales Mgr and production mgr called me said they found nothing wrong with it and they weren’t going to do anything else, basically I spent more money for their mattress and I was stuck with a sagging mattress less than a year old. Ok, got me once but you won’t get me twice nor will my friends and contacts cause I’ve posted this and told friends looking for mattresses. I’ve notice they’re advertising more than I can remember they ever did before, huh. All they had to do was keep putting out a good product but they forgot about the customer and providing a good product that I want to buy again. When I replaced the year old mattress, I didn’t even consider Original Mattress Factory (omf). Friends don’t let friends buy junk (omf).

Most people are completely unfair to companies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have bought from these folks numerous times and yeah usually a new mattress feels a tad firmer than the one in the store because people try them out in the store it's not brand new however if you need foam I know for a fact they will give you the foam for free to soften the bed and they let you donate the old set if you reselect and you pay 25% of the lower-priced item so if you donate it covers your cost which is very fair if you ask me you're just complaining because you're dissatisfied that you can't return something that you changed your mind about I own a beer drive thru in rocky river and you can't return the beer once you've left even if it's not open. people complain online to try to hurt the business reputation instead of working something out and being adult about it.... I don't understand why people have the attitude now a days that they're not responsible for anything it's always someone else's fault I know for a fact they tell you that you cannot return the mattress once you buy it like I said been a customer of theirs for 20+ years only defending them because I've always treated me fairly and I've had the same issue you've had in the past.
