This is one of the most common questions I get asked; the truth is that the majority of people buy their mattresses from the big box stores. Mattresses are typically a relatively cheap option compared to furniture, so you might be surprised how often something like this will get on your shopping list.
There are actually a number of reasons why people are buying mattresses, but it’s because they’re cheap. The first big reason people buy mattresses is because they often come with warranties. Typically a lot of mattresses come with a 3 year warranty, which means you can get a refund if something does happen to your mattress. If you buy a new mattress you can usually get a refund if it’s scratched or damaged by the time you try to return it.
Unfortunately, some warranty companies have been known to be a bit less than ethical. If a mattress does come with a warranty, you should still be able to get a refund. Though, it is important to note that a warranty is a warranty is a warranty. If a mattress is scratched or damaged in a way that it is not covered by a warranty, it is not covered by your warranty and you are responsible for the cost of the replacement.
I’m not big on warranties in general, but some companies are more than happy to honor them. If a company is willing to honor a warranty, it doesn’t mean they are completely honest. It means they are a little more willing to let you know when they aren’t honoring their word. I personally doubt many companies will honor warranties because no company wants to be responsible for someone’s death.
It’s hard for me to recommend a brand that is more honest than the majority of major brands. I personally don’t want to hear someone say, “Oh, he was just in a car accident and was fine. He should have had that mattress replaced.” I also tend to think that someone who gets a lot of money from a company gets to make the company pay for the replacement. A lot of companies just don’t want to be responsible for someone’s death.
This is a problem with just about every major brand. A lot of companies want to make sure their warranty is not going to be the company’s responsibility. Others care more about the fact that their warranty is worth less than the actual risk of a death. But you don’t have to like it. It just has to be there. You can go with either of these two options. If you’re a fan of the company or the brand, you can still enjoy the warranty.
I am not a fan of any company in this day and age. I do not care that they are liable for my death. But if they have a warranty they should be willing to offer it to me.
The warranty is not one of those things that can be waived. The warranty in this case should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. The fact that a warranty is not offered is a warning sign for the company. It could be for the same reason that you don’t see a warranty for airbags on cars. It could be that the manufacturer is just not interested in warranty issues. Or it could be that there is a very strict policy that makes warranty issues non-negotiable.
There are some companies that are very, very strict about warranty issues. In my own experience, buying a car is one of those times where you end up asking the dealer or the manufacturer about warranty issues. We ended up going to our car dealer to find out what the rules were. The dealer gave us a copy of a form that they had sent out, and we ended up filling it out.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the law, especially since it’s so complex, which is something we’ll have to start out with.
