Chanda Nixon is one of several people within Sleepy's whose job
description is "sketchy". During my complaint process, she told me that
I didn't know anything about mattressess and didn't know what I was
talking about. She has always seemed non caring and nasty whenever I
have spoken to her. David Holly is the same way.
They will offer you a pittance to try to get rid of you. Do NOT accept this pittance if your have a major complaint.
I spent FOUR months writing letters and making phone calls to get them
to honor a 25 year warranty on a defective bed. They sent inspectors
who came up with excuses after excuses. As it turns out, the inspector,
who works for an outside company - in my case Bed Chek LLC - turns in
their report who then forwards it on to Sleepy's who make the final
decision. It is the fox watching the hen house. I video taped the
inspection process and found that the report was different than what
was video taped. I wonder who changed it?
If you have a legit complaint, contact the BBB in NY at
[email protected] then write the Department of Consumer
Affairs for the State where you bought your mattress...and NEVER STOP
CALLING SLEEPY'S. Call daily if you have to. Eventually, they will want
to get rid of you and may attempt to offer a reasonable solution. In my
case, they offered me a 90% refund. I'm taking the money and running
but I'm still letting the BBB know that I was cheated out of 10% of my
money. You can also file a complaint with small claims court for about
$70. Sleepy's will HAVE to respond by sending an attorney. If you have
postive proof of your claim and have the documentation, you've got
them. It will cost them a lot more than $70 to send a lawyer to YOUR
local court house.
Never stop being a pest. Call, write, badger...never give up. They will
eventually give in. The problem is, most people get frustrated and give
up. If you have something more expensive than a $300 bed [mine was over
$2200], it's worth the time.
And don't take any of their crap, either. All of their customer service
people will say "NO" the first few times. Keep at it. I did and I'm
getting a refund and they're taking away this broken bed.
