I ordered from Avocado Mattress, Order No. A603759 on 4-27-22 a king size base with 2 extra long twin mattresses. To date I have never received any of it. Multiple texts telling me they were looking into it with no results. The amount I paid is $7,485.72. I wanted an organic bed and had read some good reviews. Oh how I wish I would have checked the BBB site first. 95 complaints in 3 years does not inspire confidence. I have asked to speak to a supervisor or manager but that has not happened. The tracking number they gave me on 5-2-22 was ******* with ***************** Systems. The info on the page never changed and tells me nothing. Every time I ask they say they are waiting for answers. This has gone on for weeks. On this past Saturday I received a text from ******** saying Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the base was never picked up and not shipped out due to the fact that we are out of these bases. She said nothing about the two mattresses. I am not going to reply because its like banging my head against a brick wall. I really hope you can help. I will send copies of the texts if you would like.Business Response

The mattress's smell was overpowering for the first three weeks. So much so that my whole apartment smelled of it. (I have a one bedroom in Manhattan.) I assumed, based on the reviews, that I had an outlier. Instead, apparently this happens, and they won't declare it defective for thirty days. Or exchange it. Funnily enough, there's almost nothing about this online. And based on my conversations with customer support, I'm not the only one who had this problem. I asked several of my friends to smell it, to make sure I wasn't crazy, and they all did. I wound up having to change my sheets every night. And doing laundry every other night. Which wound up ruining my comforter. Which is not exactly environmentally friendly. And I still couldn't sleep very well. Also, I had to keep my windows open all day. Even when it was cold, or raining. Or noisy.They did suggest putting baking soda on top of it, leaving it for a few hours, and then vacuuming it. It helped. But it clogged my vacuum, and now I need to buy a new one. They were right. At the 30 day ****, the smell has dissipated a bit. So I can imagine that if I was willing to live like this for a couple months, at some point the smell would be gone. I'm having mine replaced anyway. Because I'm hoping that based on the reviews, the new mattress will better. But I'm furious. And people need to know this is an issue. A month of absolute misery and no sleep is not OK. For the record, I've had two new synthetic memory foam mattresses before, and never had a problem sleeping.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Consumer service finally replaced the mattress with one that doesn't smell. After the trial period was over, so they had no choice. They were legally obligated by the guarantee. It took them a month accept that the mattress was defective. In the meantime, my entire apartment stunk. Literally. And I got barely any sleep. I fell asleep in client meetings. And I was too tired to look at other mattresses. All of which would have taken too to long arrive. Especially since your customer service kept telling me the smell would stop soon.I did not get any compensation for the vacuum cleaner that I broke on your customer service's advice. Or the comforter that I tore by having to wash it every other night. Or the pain and suffering I went through for over a month. A week to air out the mattress is reasonable. 30 days is not. The very least that needs to happen is that people need to be warned that this can happen with your product.
