  I was in need of a matress and purchased a matress on an online promotion to be able to afford it. I went with "Ortho Matress" to make sure I got something good for my back, since I have been having some issues. The matress unfortunately is horribly uneven, sinks in the middle, not firm how it was requested, edges are hard and uneven. I then reached out to them, and I was surprised to find out that i had to pay for someone to come check the matress, a fee of $65, and, if it was considered faulty, I would then get a replacement , but first pay an additional delivery charge of $99.99. All these extra charges due to their bad product. All I would like is an exchange for a good matress or a refund if not possible. I can not afford the extra charges they are requesting. I did not even include the bad delivery experience I had with them as well, by not following delivery instructions. But that is a different story. Thank you.

  We purchased a mattress at a ortho store in 2018. Factory warranty is for 10 years. We called Ortho regarding the mattress and they told us to fill out a form and send a check for $65 fee for a service technician to come out and look at the mattress. At the time of purchase of mattress, the customer representative was told that my husband had a bad back. She informed us that the gel mattress was firm and would be good for my husbands back. She also informed us that we would not have to flip the mattress in order for it to stay firm. The service technician came out, took pictures of the mattress, and he could clearly see the indentations in the mattress. We were informed of the decision by Ortho and they stated to us that we had it in insufficient frame support. At the time of purchase of the mattress, we were never informed that we had to buy a proper bed frame. We had recently just purchased a bedroom set with a brand new bedframe.

  Hi ****************, 

   

  We're sorry to hear about your mattress inspection outcome. After reviewing your report, your mattress does not meet the warranty measurement guidelines, even with the improper frame support. In order for your mattress to be replaced, the mattress needs to be sagging/sinking 1 1/2 inches. and right now it's only at 3/4. At the time of purchase, you received a Policy card where it states you need to have the correct support to not void your warranty. With that being said, there's no further action to take. I am happy to offer you a discount towards a new mattress if you're interested? 

   

  Thank you,

  On 3/25/2023, I purchased a twin club signature luxury firm mattress from Ortho mattress outlet in ******** **. with a 10 year warranty. Within 5 months I developed a slight limp that would come and go that only got worse. On 2/26/2024, I was unable to walk without a cane due to the pressure points and sagging of my club signature mattress. A family member and I switched mattresses for two weeks because I couldn't stand the aches and pains the ortho mattress was giving me and I recooperated. My aches, pains and limps went away. Then, I filed a warranty complaint with ortho mattress and they agreed to replace my mattress after I sent them pics of all the sagging of my mattress (that was under a year old with a 10 yr. warranty). I tried to get store credit and buy a mattress elsewhere since I believed the mattress make and model was defective, but ***** at ortho mattress said that I only qualified for the same mattress as a "one and only courtesy exchange" unless I spent more on another mattress or bought a cheaper mattress (-what happened to the 10 year warranty the salesperson, ***** sold me on?) On 3/16/2023 I picked up the new mattress and slept on it for 3 days (today is 3/20/2024) and I started having the same problems with walking that I had with the previous mattress because, I believe, the pressure points on the mattress are the same or very similar. I firmly believe the make and model of the mattress is defective and that ortho mattress is selling the mattress by saying it has a 10 year warranty, when they can't even stand by that warranty. I would like my money back, but am willing to get store credit. The mattress I bought and its replacement are both defective and causing me serious muskoskeletal problems, so I bought a new mattress elsewhere and it will be delivered to me on Saturday.

  Hello ********************, 

   

  I'm sorry you're experiencing body pain. Can I ask how you know the pain is caused by our mattress? What tests were done? Do you have the mattress properly supported? I was able to pull your records and it clearly shows ***** exchanged your mattress as a courtesy even though  it was over 11 months old. Our policy states that all of our mattresses must be inspected by our third party vendor to determined if the mattress has a manufacture defect. We understand you didn't want to go through the hassle of getting your mattress inspected and that's when ***** asked you for some pictures. We have notes in your account that you just want the credit to purchase a foundation and a frame? We're very sorry, but our warranty states its an item for an item exchange. We are dying your  request for a refund and/or credit. If you think your new mattress has a warranty defect, you may contact us to up an inspection.

  I am rejecting this response because: Although I do appreciate that ***** tried to appease me by exchanging the mattress, which I got on 3/16/2024, the fact that the original mattress , which I received on 4/1/2023, couldn't even last one year without seriously sagging, which is why ***** and Ortho was willing to replace it, with a 10 year warranty, goes to show that it's not a good mattress and doesn't even come close to holding up to it's 10 year warranty promise.  When I bought the mattress, I felt rest assured that it was going to last me about 10 years or so...surprise! it didn't even last me 1 year! and whats more it cost me aches and pains and a lost day of work and the reason I strongly suspect that mattress I bought from you is the culprit, is because I developed aches and pains for the first time by sleeping on the mattress AND when I couldn't stand the mattresses pressure points any longer, I traded mattresses with another family member for 2 weeks and my aches and pains went away. My limp went away and when I started sleeping on the mattress from ortho that I got on 3/16/2024 (exchanged), by 3/17/2024, the aches and pains started returning as well as a slight limp with the leg I feel the most pressure on. Furthermore, the reason I wanted store credit for a new boxspring and frame is only because I was planning to purchase a new mattress because my physical health and mobility are at stake and it only comes is full and larger  and because they didnt have it in a twin, which I preferred, I needed a new frame and box spring for a full size bed. I have been forced to buy a new mattress because my sleep comfort and mobility are at stake.  There is nothing wrong with the twin box spring or frame I had on the original twin mattress. In the meantime I have no real use for the twin mattress as it is so uncomfortable and would be willing to return it to you for a refund. I never took off the plastic wrapping because I suspected it wouldn't be uncomfortable enough(and I was right) and I would have to return it.

We're very sorry your unsatisfied with the whole outcome, however, once again, we do not cover comfort. There is nothing wrong with the current mattress you have at the moment.

  I am rejecting this response because: You say there is nothing wrong with the mattress but if it sags 2 1/2 inches within a year when it has a 10 yr warranty, I say there is something seriously wrong with the make of your mattress.  When you give a mattress a 10 yr. warranty,  the average person would assume that the mattress should last more or less 10 yrs but your mattress didnt even last more tha a yr. I have had to purchase another new mattress because of your defective mattress within a yr of purchasing one from you. Im very disappointed with Ortho Mattress. You promise a 10 yr warranty that you cant even stand by. I will never purchase another mattress from Ortho.

  On November 24, 2023, I purchased a mattress from Ortho Mattress at ******************* for $1851.66 with a 10-year warranty. After I finished signing the paperwork and got the receipt, I asked about their return policy and was told I could not return it. At that point, I had to accept the purchase. The mattress was delivered the next day. That evening I could not sleep because the mattress made a lot of noise, it even sounded as though something was moving within the mattress.I called customer service on November 26 and talked to ***********************. I told her what happened, and she said she would send an inspector to check the mattress. The inspector came and just did some measurements of the mattress. The next day ***** contacted me, she said nothing was wrong with the mattress, but that I needed to replace the box springs. I told her I never had problems with box springs.That day *********************** from customer service called and told me I had 2 options. They can replace the mattress, but I had to replace my box springs or they replace the mattress but if I dont get new box springs I will not get a warranty. I asked if I could buy the box springs somewhere else, she said if I did they would charge me a $100 fee, but if I bought the box springs from them, it would be waived. On December 4th, I called the store and talked to *****, she said that she was only going to waive the $100 fee if I spent $1700.00 on an adjustable bed. I told her the defective mattress was not my fault, I shouldnt have to spend more money to correct the issue. They should honor their free trial, and 10-year warranty. They refused to replace my mattress without charging me and requiring me to purchase new box springs or adjustable bed frame. I am requesting that they honor their free trial, and their 10-year warranty, by replacing the defective mattress and not charging me the $100 fee as it is not my fault. I should also get the 10-year warranty that is supposed to be included.

  Hi ****, 

   

  We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with the outcome of your inspection. After reviewing your report, there's nothing wrong with the mattress. However, the reason why you hear "animals" in your bed is due to the stack of old CD's/books in the middle of your bed. One other thing is that your box spring is older and it's not providing the correct support for the mattress. At this time, your options are to utilize our 100 ********* comfort exchange which is done at the store OR we can replace your mattress as a one-time courtesy through the warranty department, however your new mattress will not have warranty.  

   

  Any questions, you may contact me directly at **********************.

  The Ortho Mattress Inc. is lying again about cd and books in the middle of the bed. It was a couple of posters and old magazines that put under the bed to flatten. And there where in the right side of the bed. I felt the noise in left side of the bed. And I am still hearing the noise with nothing under the mattress.Also, the 100-day guarantee is a false advertisement because if you are not happy,they do not guaranty your money back.

  I will buy new box springs. I also want mattress exchange for new one and delivered for free with warranty included. If you disagree then I want a full refund because the 100-day trail comfort exchange has not pass and I am not happy.
  Also, the complaint I made about regional manager ***** when I called the Whittier store and ask to speak with manager.  ***** answer the phone and denied being a manager and refused to give me managers name and number. I have not heard back from customer service about my complaint.  This is how much Ortho mattress cares about their customers. Once they sell you the mattress, they don't want to deal with you anymore. And that's the way I feel now. 
  My experience with Ortho Mattress has been terrible.

  ****, 

   

  We have nothing to lie about. We have pictures from the inspector. 

   

  The 100 day trial is a comfort exchange, not a refund. If you wish to utilize the comfort trial, it's $99.99 delivery fee. That's stated in our Policy Card you received upon your purchase.

  Subject: Urgent Resolution Needed for Ortho Mattress Order #******* Dear Ortho Mattress Team,I trust this message finds you in good health. I am writing to express my significant concerns and dissatisfaction regarding my recent purchase of a Falcon Adjustable Base and an Aireloom **** King size mattress under Order #*******. This purchase was made in July with a scheduled delivery in August.First and foremost, during my visit to the store, I was led to believe that the Falcon Adjustable Base I purchased would include adjustable legs. However, upon the base's delivery, I was surprised to find that it did not come with these adjustable legs. This inconsistency between what was promised in-store and what was actually delivered is deeply troubling. The adjustable base I received is noticeably lower in height compared to the display model in the store. To address this issue, I am respectfully requesting an in-person inspection to verify this discrepancy and take the necessary corrective actions.In addition, I believe that an adjustable base should include the necessary legs for customization, a fact that was not adequately communicated during my initial interaction. It is of utmost importance that this matter is promptly clarified with the store representative to ensure accurate information is provided to all customers.Furthermore, I was never informed that the mattress I tested in the store came with an additional topper. I assumed that the mattress was complete as presented to me and was given a total price that included all the items I observed in the store, including the adjustable base. The difference between the mattress I experienced in the store and the one I have at home has left me feeling misled. Transparency in business transactions is a fundamental principle for me, and, as a result, I feel compelled to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to address this issue.

  I purchased a Club Signature IV Mattress from Ortho Mattress on ****-************************************************************************************************** on 12/7/22. It was delivered on 12/8/22. Within a few weeks, the mattress sunk more than 1". I called and emailed customer service and sent them pictures. They replaced the mattress with the same model and the second Club Signature IV Mattress sunk more than 1". I let them know and they referred me to the salesman in the store. I asked for my money back but was told that they would not give me my money back. I do not trust Ortho Mattresses products any more and do not want another one. They will only do an exchange for a mattress of the same price or more and I would have to pay the difference if selecting a mattress that is more than the price I paid for the Club Sig. IV. $779.00 + taxes and fees for a total of $875.09 They claim that a "comfort exchange" was issued, but it is not a comfort exchange- their product is defective. The same thing happened two times with this model. The original mattress and the replacement.I need to purchase a new mattress and do not want to buy one from Ortho Mattress as I do not trust their products.Thank you.

  Hello *********************, 

   

  I am sorry to hear you're unsatisfied with our product. Looking over your paperwork, Ortho honored a one-time courtesy exchange without having it inspected to keep you happy.

  In order to verify your mattress is actually sinking more than 1 inch, we will have to get it inspected. Normally inspection cost $60.00, however, I am happy to offer you a final courtesy.

  In order to move forward, please contact me directly at **********************.

  I am rejecting this response because: I do not want another Ortho Mattress. The business responded that there was a one-time courtesy exchange. But, I don't think that is a courtesy, that is how a business should deal with a defective mattress, the mattress sunk/developed an indent defect in under 30 days. Furthermore, the mattress was exchanged with an identical mattress that had the same defect. It sank/dipped in the middle in under 30 days. 

  This is not a matter of comfort. It is a matter of the quality of the product.

  At this point, I do not want to exchange this with another Ortho Mattress because I do not trust the product. I am also not in a position to pay any more money and do not want to invest in another Ortho Mattress product. 
  
  I would like to take the money that I spent on the mattress and buy a mattress with another Company that is more reliable and reputable and will stand behind their products with a refund if something like this happens. 
  
  I also spent more than enough money for a good quality mattress that I can find at another business for a fraction of the cost.

  Hi ******, 

  We're sorry to hear the mattress is not fitting your frame. Our mattresses are man made products and can be up to a 1 inch variant.  Frames are occasionally bigger than mattresses and that's what causes the mattress to look small. 

  I am happy to offer you a one-time courtesy inspection to have your mattress measured  by a professional. If the outcome comes measured small, we will replace it. However, if it's between the variant, we won't be able to replace it.

  Today, is 6-21-2023. I bought a bunkie board from Ortho Mattress 6-11-2023 with order number #**** at: ********************************************************************************* It had a grand total cost of: $279.04 consisting of: original price of $154.99, plus a $10.50 charge, shipping *****, and tax $13.56. The information on their website said that the board was 2 inches thick. It was not 2 inches thick. It only had a 3 inch boarder that was 2 inches thick. It had a small thin 3 inch by one half inch thick support board going across the middle of it. The entire bunkie board was covered by a thin cloth material that covered up this poor quality design and poor quality materials. The board is not what their website shows, and it is not what I expected it to be, so I am not happy with this purchase. The board is still in the original packaging, and it has not been used. I called Ortho Mattress yesterday, and they had a representative from their ******* ********** store call me back today 6-21-2023. I explained that I needed a refund, and they did not hesitate to hang up on me abruptly.

  We bought a super luxury mattress from Ortho about 2.5 years ago with a warranty duration of a minimum of ten years. We noticed lumps and deformation two years into this warranty period and contacted Ortho customer service. First, let me tell you about our experience with Ortho customer service in one word, it was "horrible". She was rude, unsupportive, and irresponsible on the phone. After hearing about the condition of the mattress, they told us that we need to pay and schedule an inspection visit. We paid for the inspection and the inspector came. After examining all components including supporting frames and box springs the inspector told us that the mattress is defective but we need to wait for the report and Ortho customer service will contact us. The Ortho Customer Service denied the warranty and claimed that the foundation beneath the box springs caused lumps and deformations at the pressure spots on top of the mattress. There is no mention of any issues with either the bed frame or box springs in the inspector report. Needless to say that the bed frame has been supporting mattresses for more than twenty years and we never had any problems with the bed frame in the past as Ortho is claiming as the basis for warranty denial. At the same time box springs are in perfect condition and there is no sign of drag or sagging on them. After several unproductive phone calls and email communications with their showroom and customer service person, we decided to let everyone know about this experience and the quality of Ortho products and their services. It seems like Ortho Mattress company is reluctant to adhere to the terms of their warranty and makes any type of unheard claims and reasons including the act of god to void product warranties.

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/11/25) */ Martin, I am so sorry to hear about this issue. I was able to locate your paperwork using your name. The reason why your mattress got denied for a warranty exchange is because your mattress is stained. Per Ortho Mattress warranty, if mattress is found to be in an unsanitary condition, abused, or damaged through accident or neglect the warranty is therefore voided. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/12/08) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I dont accept Ortho Mattress response. According to them, the warranty is voided if mattress is stained? I purchased the mattress cover from them and used it from day one. I dont understand what does the faint yellow stain have to do with the comfort and quality promises in warranty? The mattress was $1400. This mattress does not serve its purpose so are they gonna resell it? Don't understand and it does not make sense. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/12/12) */ ******, If you purchase a mattress protector, you need to file a warranty through the protector company. Please give us a call to guide you and provide you the number.
