On 1/22/2024 I placed an order for the WinkBeds ******************* for $338.94, order number *******. When the foundation arrived, it was damaged to a degree that it would cause issues with the products safety and functionality. I contacted WinkBeds and was refused a return with the reasoning the platform foundation was a final sale item and not eligible for return. Upon further inquiry, the business offered to send a replacement part, however multiple parts are damaged and unusable. ************** from the business were excessively long with around 48 hours passing without communication. Over *********************************************************************************************************************** refund.Additionally, their advertising is contradictory regarding the return policy. After placing the order, I received an email from WinkBeds stating Your 120 Night Trial Awaits in bold text. The website also advertises a 1 year warranty on the product, however warranty terms are unavailable to the consumer on the website anywhere.Business Response
Date: 03/18/2024
We have offered to replace any damaged part or piece of the product free of charge. The free trial period is not in any way contradictory as it only applies to mattresses, and this product is a bed frame.Customer Answer
Date: 03/18/2024
Complaint: 21407765
I am rejecting this response because:Federally, retailers must accept returns if the product is defective. The merchant must prove the bed frame was not damaged when they sold it. Goods must be satisfactory and as described.
The merchant should be obliged to issue a refund since the bed frame is materially damaged, breaching the contract. The item is protected by warranty, which means it should be fit for its purpose. Due to the damage to the product, it is unusable and should be able to be returned.
Additionally, following the purchase, WinkBeds directly sent an email to me directly stating "YOUR 120 NIGHT TRIAL AWAITS" if this is not the case for the product I purchased, it is false advertising.

I bought 2 mattresses from Wink and within ******************************************************************************************* different mattress I was told that my 120 day trial would be voided and I must finish 120 day trial before I could do any returns or exchanges. So I waited 2 days before my ********************************************************* my 120 day trial period so I needed to wait although it was only one day left August 2nd trail period was up. I called today August 3rd one day after my trail period and was told my trail period is up and I no longer could exchange or have the mattress picked up that I now had to keep it because my trail period expired. I am so confused and angry I just want my mattress to be picked up and to get a refund the mattress doesn't fit my bedframe anyway I need twin XL and its twin. I told them this as well in live chat day 10 of me receiving my mattress.

I purchased a mattress (EcoCloud model) from Winkbeds.com on March 25, 2023. The mattress arrived as expected. After trying the mattress for a period of time, I requested to return the mattress on July 15th via email per the telephone number provided. Upon my request, I was told that I was ineligible for the 120 night sleep trial advertised on their website because I had previously purchased and subsequently returned a mattress with them before. The previous mattress was purchased more than 5 years prior and was a different model (TheWinkBed). At the time of purchase, I was unaware that the 120 day sleep trail did not apply to my purchase, nor did WinkBeds notify me that all sales were final and I would not have an opportunity to return the mattress, purchased online sight unseen. I attempted to work through a resolution with the company and continue to get a canned response from the customer service representative. I have asked twice to be contacted by a supervisor with no contact being made. I do not believe my purchase of the first mattress five years ago, a different model, with different sleep trial terms at the time are covered in the language of the new 120 day sleep trail as the two mattresses and trials are materially different. Lastly, I understand that WinkBeds needs to have provisions in place to prevent consumers from consistently buying and returning mattresses but that is very far from the case here. What business would not want the opportunity to earn a customer back after 5 years with their new product? I am requesting that WinkBeds honor their 120 night sleep trial and fully refund our mattress.Business Response
Date: 07/25/2023
The terms of our free trial period are clearly stated on our website. If a WinkBeds mattress is returned or exchanged, that customer and shipping address will not be eligible for additional 120 night trials. Trial is limited to one mattress per customer and shipping address.Customer Answer
Date: 07/25/2023
Complaint: 20334547
I am rejecting this response because:The statement on the website, provided by the business states that upon return I would not be afforded another 120 day sleep trail. I have never received a 120 day sleep trial for a purchase from WinkBeds. At the time I purchased the first mattress more than 5 years ago, I received a materially different sleep trial of a shorter duration. In addition, if winkbeds has the data to reject a return claim after 5 years, then they have the ability to provide notification at the time an order is placed that the sale is final with zero opportunity to seek a refund or return. I believe this is a predatory tactic that is misleading to customers in my situation, especially given the lack of specificity in their return policy regarding timelines or product lines. It is confusing that the company name and the name of one of their mattresses are named the same and that name is also used in their policies. I continue to request a full refund and return of the mattress purchased. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

The customer did receive a free trial with purchase, as does every single one of our customers. Customer also received paperwork explaining the free trial and warranty terms together with the product they originally purchased. This paperwork explains the free trial is limited to one per customer and shipping address.Customer Answer
Date: 08/01/2023
Complaint: 20334547
I am rejecting this response because:I believe it is beyond unreasonable for me to be expected to retain or remember sleep trial and warranty information from a purchase and subsequent return of a mattress purchased more than five years ago. I will reiterate that WinkBeds choosing to not notify people, when they clearly gather and retain enough information to do so, that they are disqualified from their sleep trial at the time of purchase can only be seen as predatory. In addition, since that purchase, WinkBeds has continually sent me email marketing, advertising their new 120-night sleep trial without any indication that I may not qualify for the trial when I previously had a 101-night sleep trial 5 years ago. I have attached a few emails I received leading up to our purchase this year. When receiving these emails, I am led to believe that I do qualify for the trial, a belief that gave me confidence in ordering a mattress online sight unseen. Go on ********, order a mattress, if you don't love it, we'll give you a full refund. I am seeking to return this mattress at no cost to me and receive a full refund.
Sincerely,

We provided a screenshot detailing our free trial and warranty terms, which the customer received the benefit of on their first order. Accordingly they were not entitled to a second free trial period on their subsequent order. Our response directly relates to the issue at hand.Customer Answer
Date: 11/02/2023
As I shared in my previous messages and attached emails, any objective person can reason that the marketing by WinkBeds provided confidence that I was making an expensive purchase online with minimal risk. The marketing materials made no mention of the restriction on the sleep trial, even encouraging me to purchase with the comfort of the sleep trial. In addition, the screenshot provided by the business states that if a WinkBed is returned or exchanged, that customer and shipping address will not be eligible for "additional" 120-night trials. When I purchased the first mattress more than 5 years ago, the company was offering a completely materially different guarantee that was not a 120-night trial, it was only 101-day sleep guarantee with different terms. Given this difference, it was my understanding that since I had not previously had a 120-night sleep trial that this policy did not apply to my previous purchase. In addition, I still hold that the business had the data, including name, address and email address on file to deny my claim under the sleep trial but failed to warn me or make it explicitly known to me that I was ineligible. I was completely unaware that the purchase I was making was final, something that I can only consider to be a predatory practice. I am still seeking a refund and return of this mattress. It is clear to me that this company failed to provide clear consistent messaging regarding the sleep trial, taking minimal efforts to prevent consumers from this scenario, and fails to recognize and accept responsibility for their actions that contributed to this situation.Business Response

We understand customer's frustration and would invite them to take advantage of our "Any Reason Replacement Guaranty" where customer can select a new mattress of their choosing for 50% of the retail price.Customer Answer
Date: 11/13/2023
Complaint: 20334547
I am rejecting this response because:The solution proposed is a discount on another purchase with the same company, still without the sleep trial I was offered. I am still seeking a full refund on my mattress purchase. At a minimum, if the company is willing to take a 50% reduction on a future purchase, why not make the offer on my current purchase by providing a partial refund, recognizing their part in this matter.
Sincerely,

In accordance with our company policy clearly stated on our website, each customer and household is entitled to a single 120-night free trial period. This customer used their ********* free trial period and returned a mattress purchase for full a refund. Therefore, future mattress purchases are no longer eligible for the same free trial period. We understand customer is not happy with their mattress and we invite them to select any new mattress at 50% off.Initial Complaint

I ordered a bed platform (which costs about $250), because the frame that I originally bought ((which is $100 less) didnt come with a platform. There werent any other affordable options. They ask me to pay the additional money to get that platform sent out. They canceled my original order for the frame. I receive this product and it is of very poor quality. I messaged them to try and return it and they have refused to saying its a clearance item. This is unacceptable, because the platform is unusable especially for a person of a heavy weight like myself. They need to give me my money back!As you can see by the pictures attached, they dont have very many options (only 3). There is a heavy frame for about $100 something. Then there is the platform for $250 approximately, which is the one I bought. Then the next level up is $1000 mechanical type platform which I cant afford. The platform I got is so badly made.Business Response

Complaint: 19860754
I am rejecting this response because regardless of whether this is a clearance item (which sales person who spoke to me didnt advise me), you cannot sell something thats very poor quality. No one would sell an item of this quality. That is unacceptable.if this was a good quality item, that would be something else, but it is not. It is so far from good quality that I am ashamed on behalf of your company.
I buy things from clearance all the time. it does not mean that you can sell garbage in clearance. And this item was bought online, so I had no way to examine it before I bought it!! How can you in good conscience sell THIS for money and not accept a return??Sincerely,

I bought a winkbed in 2021 wanting the plus for heavier people firmness. I was discouraged from purchasing it by the sales rep who recommended the luxury firm though I explained I had a disability that made it difficult. We moved into our home after living in hotels for several months after movers stole our belongings including the winkbed mattress. I purchased 2 new winkbed mattresses was told I could exchange them if the firmness level was not helpful for our disabilities. I confirmed multiple times over the phone with sales reps this would be possible. They are now stating it is not possible though I have purchased 3 mattresses from winkbeds over the past year and 4 bed frames including 2 malfunctioning bed frames. Additionally a bed frame they delivered is malfunctioning the motherboard does not work with the leg lift function I would like a refund of that bed frame. I was initially just going to request a replacement of the motherboard but it would require paying a handyman again to assemble the bed and more money and investment into winkbeds that is not worth it.Business Response

I purchased the Gravity Lux Mattress from WinkBeds with the assumption that I would receive this product with a 120-day trial period, and the purchase receipt makes no indication that the sale of the mattress would be final. I would like a full refund of the purchase price since I requested the return prior to the end of my trial period. You can see I made the purchase on 12/30/2022, and I requested a refund on 3/3/2023, well within the 120-day trial, which does not actually start until receipt of the mattress, which was not until 1/10/2023. If you look at their trial period policy, it states that if you return a Mattress that you are not eligible for another trial. I originally purchased their WinkBed, which is the brand and model of their hybrid spring and memory foam bed. I returned this product, then I purchased their Gravity Lux brand bed, which is completely different from their WinkBed, and they are claiming I am not eligible for a trial of the Gravity Lux, but that was not made clear to me when I purchased. WinkBed was not forthright about their policy nor is it clearly apparent that the two brands fall under a single trial period. They should have contacted me prior to fulfilling my order to ensure that I was aware that I would no longer be eligible for a trial of their all-foam mattress, which is completely different product from their WinkBed. I feel like I was not fully informed upon my purchase or is there any evidence on my purchase order of the Gravity Lux that it would be a final sale purchase. I want a full refund from WinkBed since I requested the return within the 120-day trial as indicated on their website. I have attached all pertinent documentation.Business Response

Our 120 night free trial period is limited to one mattress per customer and shipping address. As this customer had already purchased and returned a mattress, the second purchase is not eligible for a free trial period. The customer made mention of these terms in the complaint.Customer Answer

Complaint: 19547921
I am rejecting this response because: WinkBeds is not forthright in the sales of their products. It is not clear that trial is only for one mattress, regardless if you are trying out a completely different product in their line of mattresses. They could have easily informed me that according to their records that the purchase of the GravityLux would not be eligible for a trial. Winkbeds does not stand by their product, which I received and the quality is dismal at best. The all foam mattress has never uncompressed fully, clearly the quality of their foam is subpar, yet they do not want to honor the quality of their products to their customers.

Purchased this mattress under the impression that it will relieve back and hip pain but it has worsen it. I brought this to a wink representative and was told that i should give it a bit more time. After some time It was too late and was now force to keep the mattress. I taught maybe give the mattress some time but it has been maybe about 3 years or more and its getting to the point that my wife and I life is terrible. Every morning we wake up with the worse body aches, its terrible and stressful. I have brought this issue to wink bed many times but they keep on asking to do measurements and stuff but I dont believe the bed has problems with sinking its just either defective or maybe its sinking or whatever they call it. We are not getting younger and im afraid this will affect us for the worse in the future.Business Response
