Since I cannot find an entry for the online store, I will be leaving this review on all Purple Mattress sites so people are aware:
Several years ago I decided to splurge and buy a new mattress, the first one I have ever purchased. I went all out and bought a pillow, sheets and mattress cover and have been happy with all items.
Last month, I decided to be a returning customer and place an expensive order with the purple company buying over $800 in new pillows and sheets. I planned to use a card that allows to split the payment (affirm) and placed the order. Less than 10 minutes later, I realized I clicked the WRONG option and the payment went through in FULL on my debit card. Over $800 out of my account that I was not expecting. I IMMEDIATELY looked into how to cancel or reverse the order and emailed at least 2 different emails trying to fix the issue and just change the payment method. No one answered. The next day I got an update saying that the order was being prepared. I emailed AGAIN and asked for assistance and NO one responded. I called several numbers, and ALL noted that the offices were closed for the weekend. On Monday, I called at my lunch hour - just before 12 - to speak with someone about the order and was informed that it WAS TOO LATE to help me with my order. HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE?!? They had only been open for 4 hours! How am I too late to correct this issue? It turns out their warehouses are open on the weekend and apparently do more work than their customer service personnel because NO one could help me. They confused the situation several times and before I knew it, the order was canceled, but they were giving me NO confirmation WHEN the $800+ would be returned to my account. I could not wait over a week to have the money returned as I had to bills (this was just before the 1st of the month) and needed to buy groceries. I called my bank who did an IMMEDIATE reversal and by Tuesday, I could access the money in my account again.
I then reached out to Purple to see if any of this situation could be rectified since this was incredibly stressful and frustrating going back and forth between Saturday-Tuesday and I was offered a 25% discount on my new order (response copied below):

I emailed asking how I would utilize this discount and was then informed of the following:

Hi Jessica,
Unfortunately, all accounts linked to the name, email address, and shipping address will be flagged. As a result of the dispute that was filed, Purple has applied a permanent block to the associated account(s). This policy remains in effect even if the dispute has been settled, and no future orders can be placed.
I understand this is not the resolution you were hoping for, and I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause.
Thank you for your understanding, and I wish you all the best. Have a great day.

Over a WEEK later and the order was finally reversed on Purples end and I saw the charge back on my account. I contacted my bank and confirmed their side of the dispute is closed but for whatever reason, it is not with Purple and now they are refusing to honor a discount they originally offered. Now they are saying that my account has been blocked and I won't be able to make another transaction, but WILL NOT tell me for HOW LONG. Indefinitely?! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
This entire interaction has been completely unacceptable and now they are saying I CANNOT MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE. INSANE! read more
