2. Is Sleep Number a Good Brand?

To evaluate whether Sleep Number is a good brand, we checked out customers' experiences with the company as per reviews and ratings on PissedConsumer.com.

As of the date of writing this article, the company had an average rating of 1.8 stars according to Sleep Number reviews on PissedConsumer.com. Customers have so far claimed losses to the value of 1.8 million dollars.  Sleep Number rating statistics reveal that the majority of the customer reviews are one and two-star ratings out of 1.2k total reviews.

As evidenced by the reviews, there are numerous Sleep Number complaints in regards to:

Poor customer service

In some instances, customers could not reach the customer representatives despite contacting them within the Sleep Number customer service hours. Some customers complained that the Sleep Number support provided inaccurate information or did not disclose vital information regarding the refund and warranty policies. In other cases, the representatives were not helpful at all to customers seeking assistance for specific issues that they couldn't find solutions for in the Sleep Number FAQs.

Unclear warranty, returns, refunds, and exchange terms

Some customers attempted to return adjustable bases only to find out that these parts were non-returnable.

Poor quality of products

In some cases, items delivered were malfunctioning while in other cases the products did not perform as advertised.

Unforeseen shipping and delivery fees

Some customers complained of being charged for shipping and return shipping in the case of returning items, yet those terms were not clearly stipulated at the time of purchase. Also, installation and setup are not free. In some cases, there was a significant delay in delivery, and the customers sought to cancel Sleep Number orders in vain.

Review #2395835 highlights the top Sleep Number complaints, including poor customer service and delivery issues. In the video review, the customer narrates how they bought a second bed from SleepNumber.com after being satisfied with the quality of their first bed in 2017. However, this time, things did not go as smoothly.

After ordering, the delivery date was set at 3 weeks. However, the company did not manage to deliver it and set the delivery date a few days after 3 weeks. They were later called by the delivery team, who said that the delivery had been canceled without any explanation.

On contacting the Sleep Number support to further follow up on the issue, they were told the earliest delivery date would be in a week. The customer noted that even though the Sleep Number beds have exceptional quality, customer support is lacking.

3. What Is Sleep Number Refund Policy?

The Sleep Number customer service returns policy allows for a 100-night in-home trial period for beds (mattresses), non-adjustable bases, DualTemp layer, and Sleep Number Remote control. If you are not satisfied with the products after using them for 30 nights, you can return them for a refund or an exchange.  

SleepNumber.com notes that exchanged items are not eligible for a new in-Home trial period. Return fees, including shipping and pickup fees, may apply for returnable items. 

Some items are non-returnable, including:

  • adjustable bases;
  • bedding collection;
  • upholstered furniture collection;
  • Factory outlet, Demo, Display, Clearance, and Closeout merchandise.

Sleep Number customer service returns must be authorized by the company. To get authorization, call Sleep Number corporate office contact for returns (800) 472-7185) and request to be issued with a Return Service Order (RSO) number. There is no Sleep Number email for returns, and while you could start a live chat, it is best to call to get the RSO. You must return the authorized item within 30 days of receiving your RSO number.

Once you have returned the item and the company team verifies that it is in good condition, you will be refunded for the purchase price of the item, less the return shipping, and delivery fees. If the item is unauthorized for Sleep Number return or it is in bad condition, you will not receive any refund. Qualified refunds are issued within 21 days of the original payment method.

Several customers complained about difficulty returning their items. Some didn't get a response to their request for a Return Service Order (RSO) number. Others say that the return policy did not indicate that the items bought were not returnable. Yet, others were frustrated that the return costs were quite expensive.

There are several reported cases of delivery delays whereby the customers would rather cancel Sleep Number orders. The company notes that you can change or cancel your order immediately after placing it by contacting them via phone. However, it cannot be canceled once the order has been processed. The only way to cancel Sleep Number orders that have already been shipped is to refuse the items at delivery or receive and then return.

Sleep Number cancel order terms

There are specific cancellation terms for customers in New Jersey and Maryland. The delivery timeline for purchases made in or delivered in New Jersey is 8 weeks, after which you can opt to cancel your order for a full refund or accept delivery at a later date. 

For Maryland, if you do not receive your order within 2 weeks after the provided 8 weeks, you can cancel your order for a full refund or have Sleep Number reschedule. However, the company has the right to refuse the cancellation if they are not in a position to cancel with the manufacturer or supplier.

Except for the C-2 Classic Series model, most mattresses come with at least one layer of comfort foam that sits between the air chamber and the mattress top. The foam density and thickness vary from one mattress to another, with higher series having more cushioning.

The mattress top holds the mattress together. Some have a zipper that allows you easy access to the interior of the mattress.

  • adjustability;
