Are Rent-A-Center stores selling refurbished mattresses as new??
My boyfriend purchased a bedroom set from a local Rent-A-Center approx 2 1/2 years ago. The set came with a Sealy mattress and box spring. After a little over a year, this mattress had fallen apart. The springs stick thru all over, it is lumpy and the sides cave in and you sit on a long wire. The warranty on the mattress is for only 1 year. A Sealy mattresses should not fall apart after only 1 year. I had never thought about the fact that the mattress could be getting us sick, but come to think of it, I wake up with headaches alot and I never feel rested when I wake up. A while back, I saw a program on refurbished mattresses and how they find them and put them back together. Anyway, how can I find out if the mattress I have has been refurbished and sold as new and what should I do if this is the case. Also, has anyone out there had a similar experience with a Rent-A-Center store or any other rent to own store? I would be interested in hearing your story.
