This review is about the delivery service, not about the store or the product. After 2 hours in the store we settled on the i8 series mattress. When buying a high end product such as a $6,000 "smart bed" /mattress it is expected that delivery service will be on par with the price. Delivery arrived one week later and within the 4 hour promised window, however the delivery crew did not make a promised call 30 minutes prior to arrival. Two guys spoke limited English, one of them practically none. When arrived, they were not happy that the bedroom is on the second floor and said that the mattress is 200lbs. (!??). Moving on, our bedframe had 6 crossmember support slats screwed into the frame. They said slats need to be removed and they are not allowed to disassemble furniture and carry no tools. None of this was mentioned during the 2 hours sales pitch in the store in South Windsor, CT. Not a hint that the bedframe must be diassemled by the owner prior to delivery. So my wife, being home alone at the time of delivery, had to use power tools to partially disasemble and unscrew a bunch of screws in our bed while 2 delivery guys watched and waited. When the mattress was put inside the bedframe, it was put too high on its adjustable legs, metal base of the mattress protruding 2 inches above the bedframe. Another round of arguments and sign language to make them readjust the height.
When the bed was quickly connected to wifi one of the guys simply handed over a form to sign stating that he provided training and demonstration of the product. None of that was done. When asked to move the old mattress to another room, one of them blurted something out that they are not working on the commission and are not supposed to do that, even though
SleepNumber's delivery policy clearly states that the set up and demo will take about 2 hours, training will be provided, old mattress will be either removed or moved to another room at owner's request.
This delivery from Sleep Number was a terrible experience, nothing close to promised. You should screen and train your delivery contractors more selectively and responsibly so they don't ruin your reputation. Customer does not expect that 2 delivery morons show up and complain about the weight of the product, set it up improperly, are not allowed to use tools to prepare installation, are not able to clearly communicate and need to be convinced to move the old mattress. read more
