Warranty Information

Length of Warranty:  back to top  
Your warranty protects you from the day you purchase your sleep set and continues according to the “Warranty Schedule” found on this card. In the event that we repair or replace your sleep set, this warranty continues your protection from the original date of purchase.

Warranty Coverage:  back to top  
This warranty covers the following items during normal wear:

Examples of proper bed frames for queen- and king-size bedding:

Items not covered:

Items and damages not specifically listed in the “Warranty Covers” section are not covered, including, for example:

• Mattress fabric
• Border wires, which run along the perimeter of the mattress and box spring, bent due to moving or bending the sleep set
• Structural damage from using an improper bed frame. This warranty applies to queen- and king-size mattresses or box springs ONLY if they are used on an appropriate frame with a rigid center support having at least 5 legs or a rigid center support with 5 hardwood cross-slats
• Used bedding or bedding sold “as is” and floor models
• Bed height
• Sheet fit
• Comfort preference
• Body indentations less than 1-½"
• Mattress damage due to an inappropriate box spring. A mattress is designed for full performance when used in conjunction with a box spring as part of a total sleep set
• Replacement of another piece in the sleep set, unless such other piece is also defective
• Mattress or foundation damage due to abuse
• Transportation costs

Flame Resistance- Your new bed set is engineered as a system so that it is more resistant to open flames. Sealy WILL NOT warrant your bed set, and your bed set’s open flame resistance may be seriously impaired, if any of the following occurs:

• A non-matching mattress and foundation are used together. The mattress and foundation are engineered and built as a systemized set to withstand rigorous flam tests. Using a non-matching foundation and mattress together voids all terms of this warranty and seriously jeopardizes the open flame resistance of the bed set.
• The outer cover of the mattress or foundation is damaged, torn or punctured.
• The handles of the mattress are torn from the side of the mattress from abuse. Tears in the mattress fabric will impair the flame resistance of your mattress. If the handles pull out from the mattress fabric as a result of a manufacturing defect, and not abuse- Sealy will warranty their defect according to the conditions stated in the limited warranty found on this card.
• The bed set has been misused or abused.
• The bed set has been treated with an unapproved stain repellant or similar post purchase application.
• Beds and many other furnishings in a bedroom or a house are still flammable and can burn rapidly and emit smoke and hazardous gases. It is important to keep open flames or any incendiary or extreme heat generative devices (such as halogen lamps, candles, space heaters, frayed electrical cords, etc.) away from your bed set and our of reach of children. Do not smoke in bed.

Your new Sealy Mattress has one sleeping surface. This means you will never have to flip the mattress. This mattress has Stay True™ upholstery padding which increases its longevity and support performance. Body indentations can be a normal occurrence in your new mattress, and indicate that the upholstery layers are conforming to your body’s individual contours. Do not attempt to sleep on the box spring or the non-sleep surface of the mattress as they are not made for that purpose.

If a Warranty Problem Occurs...  back to top  
We make every effort to be sure we manufacture our sleep sets with the finest materials available. If, however, you do discover a defect in your new Sealy mattress box spring, simply contact the retail store where you purchased your sleep set. If you can’t reach the store, or if you’ve moved, all you need do is write directly to us at: Sealy Inc., Customer Support Dept., One Office Parkway, Trinity, NC 27370 or call 1-800-MY-SEALY(697-3259).

If a defect occurs during the warranty period (which is described in the Warranty Schedule), Sealy will repair or replace (at our option) the defective mattress and/or box spring within a reasonable period of time.

In order for this limited warranty to be valid, you must:

• Be the original consumer purchaser, and have purchased the sleep set from one of our authorized dealers in the United States or Puerto Rico;
• Provide a copy of the original store receipt, or other proof of date, place of purchase and purchase price; and
• Provide the law label from the defective product.

If identical materials are not available at the time of product service, Sealy reserves the right to substitute material of equal or higher value, or, at our option, provide a refund. You’ll be responsible for transportation costs of the product to and from the store or factory, as applicable.

Your warranty does not cover products found to be in an unsanitary condition, or when the product failure is due to causes other than defective workmanship or materials. Please refer to the “Do’s & Don’ts of Bedding Care” section of this brochure for proper sleep set care.

ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL NOT EXCEED IN DURATION THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHICH BEGINS WITH THE DATE OF PURCHASE BY THE CONSUMER. THE SERVICE TERMS STATED IN THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE THE CONSUMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF PRODUCT FAILURE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

Sealy does not authorize any person to create for it any other obligation or liability in connection with this warranty.

Do's and Don'ts of Bedding Care:  back to top  

• Do give your new sleep set time to “air” upon removal from its plastic packaging. Dispose of all plastic packaging as soon as possible.
• Do carry your mattress flat on its side. It’s easier to handle and you’ll be less likely to damage the mattress.
• Do keep your bedding clean. We suggest using a mattress pad, especially if children use the bed.
• Do replace the old box spring when purchasing a new mattress. An old box spring may not provide sufficient support. It may appear that your new mattress is sagging when it is really the box spring, which supports the entire mattress.
• Do use an appropriate frame and center support for queen- and king-size sets. Using the right support frame will ensure that your warranty remains in effect.
• Do keep your retail receipt in a safe place.

• Don’t let anyone stand or jump on your mattress. It was not built for that kind of weight concentration or abuse.
• Don’t Don’t allow your mattress to get wet, because some of the upholstery materials may compress. Protect it from water or other liquids.
• Don’t Don’t place a board between your mattress and box spring. Your sleep set is designed specifically to provide you with proper support, and the box spring plays an important role.
• Don’t Don’t bend your mattress more than 20°. Such treatment may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways.
• Don’t Don’t remove the law tag label at the end of your mattress. This serves as a means of identification to establish your warranty rights.
• Don’t Don’t use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals will damage some of the construction materials.
