Hi estcstm3,
If the depth of any visible impressions in your mattress (that you can see when you aren’t on the mattress) are greater than the warranty exclusion then it may be worth pursuing a warranty claim although it’s likely that you may have the same issues fairly quickly because of the lower quality/density and less durable foams that they generally use in their mattresses.
Some people that were successful with a warranty claim have sold their replacement mattress still wrapped in plastic to recover some of their original cost and used it towards purchasing a better quality/value mattress.
If you are purchasing another mattress then I would also make sure that you’ve read the mattress shopping tutorial here which includes all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choice … and perhaps more importantly know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
In its simplest form … choosing the “best possible” mattress for any particular person really comes down to first finding a few knowledgeable and transparent retailers and/or manufacturers that sell the types of mattresses that you are most interested in (either locally or online) and that you have confirmed can provide you with all the information you need to know to make an informed choice and make meaningful comparisons between mattresses and then …
-
Careful testing (hopefully using the testing guidelines in the tutorial) to make sure that a mattress is a good match for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP … and/or that you are comfortable with the options you have available to return, exchange, or “fine tune” the mattress and any costs involved if you can’t test a mattress in person or aren’t confident that your mattress is a suitable choice.
-
Checking to make sure that there are no lower quality materials or weak links in the mattress that could compromise the durability and useful life of the mattress.
-
Comparing your finalists for “value” based on #1 and #2 and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
