Consumer Paranoia? Or Hustle? Advice solisitied.

You raise a good point… Look on the bottom of the bed to see if the mattress tags are still there.

Dude, did you just insult his love life?

Seriously, what** Lissa** said.

How enjoyable is a bed anyway, if you don’t put it under an undue amount of stress?

I took it to mean he wasn’t being abusive - no jumping on the mattress, or stuffing it with contraband. Normal wear and tear should be fine. Can’t keep a bed in a glass case, after all.

Did you at least get a sales receipt? Who’s the manufacturer of the mattress?

If you find out who the manufacturer is and contact them and tell them you have a sales receipt there should be no problem. You could even ask them how to register it with them should any need arise to contact them about a warranty.

I’ve never had a product refused service because I didn’t have the warranty papers (unless were talking a car or other major purchase). They usually just want proof of purchase with a purchase date.

What’s the fun in that?

Ummm…this is a bed, not a matress.

Well, there’s the scam right there. They sold you a bed without a mattress.

That doesn’t answer my questions. Did you charge the purchase? (If so you can dispute the charge, bed assempled or not). Have you contacted the Manufacturer? Will they honor the warrenty?

Umm…yes, no, & I don’t know.

At the moment, the bed is fine.

Tell that to the Seven Dwarves.

Close outs are tough situations, but usually warranties are worthless. Either the bed was normal construction, in which case it will perform normally. Or it wa defective, in which case it would not last a week. There is not much middle ground for beds.

They weren’t out of business, they just relocated to a bigger store outside the Mallo.

I called them this AM, & the warrantee & instruction manual will be mailed to me ASAP.

The instruction manual?

The INSTRUCTION MANUAL?

Here, let me help you with that.

Probing optional (their option, not your’s).

NO!
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU LOOK UNDER THIS BED!
Especially at 2 a. m. in the morning!

What about 2 a.m. in the afternoon? :smiley:

Bosda, I think you’re getting a bit too up in arms about this.

Perhaps you should sleep it off.

Can’t. Waiting for the instructions.
