I purchased a matress a few weeks ago, I went to sleep on it, loved it, , I woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night itching and scratching, , I turned on the lights and i noticed all these pink welps on my skin .. In the morning i looked on the floor and saw a red bug, , so i did research and it was definately a Bed bug, I never itched so bad in my life, This is terrible, so to make along story short, I called customer service to let them know and they told me, The bedbugs probably came from my house, That really pissed me off, I live in a private home, , Now if i had bed bugs in my home I would have called the exterminator emmediately before i even though of buying a matress, Why would i want to sleep on a bed knowing the bugs are going to sleep with me, Anyways they wouldn't refund the full money i paid, , , First OF ALL

Oh I am sorry to heat that you have encounter such problems with a long time retail establishment. Perhaps instead of getting a full refund, an even exchange would be permitted? Since you still have to get a new mattress, why not give them a benefit of a doubt, and took misfortunate event as a one time ordeal. Yea, but I do agree, that sears should be less careless in their delivery department. They should have to exterminate the trucks after disposing people's old mattress.

I too bought a bed from Sears: I bought the mattress and the bed! Little did I know that there were bed bugs in the damned head board! This is ridiculous! Sears know that they pickup and deliver so why aren't they held responsible for instances such as this! I am just appalled that this large retail giant would even put up with such as this. First the bed was delivered and assembled poorly! Then I find bed bugs! I am not home all week until the weekend, but just recently I have been working 100% from home. This is when I noticed these bugs, but of course they were coming out to feed! I couldn't find anything, until my husband opened the lining in the back of the head board and voila! Hundreds of bugs! This is disgusting Sears! Absolutely disgusting!
