Awful company
Sleepy's is having financial difficulties in this hard economy. Apparently charging too much for merchandise still isn't enough to keep their heads above water. They have terminated all of their store assistants (hourly employees) by claiming the position was never meant to be a long-term position. They now are claiming that the job position of assistant was meant to transition to the full sales positions in the company... when in reality they needed to cut costs so they got rid of many hard working people.
I was with the company for two years as a hard worker and was then told a completely bull excuse of why I was being terminated, with no notice at all, from my job. Since NY is an 'at will' state for hire and fire I have no legal recourse. I guess they can change the terms of someones employment or position whenever they want. Sleepy's is hurting and this is their way of cutting expenses. Sad.

Terrible experience
I recently purchased a mattress from Sleepys and was told that it would be delivered the following day. It was not, and we did not know that it would not be ariving until we called Sleepy's AFTER it was supposed to have arrived. The mattress did come the next day. The delivery people smashed the mattress up the stairs so hard that there was a 2 foot lump in the middle of the mattress. When. The delivery people told us that we would have to file a warranty claim. We finally convinced them to take the mattress away while the customer service people told us that they would have a replacement to us the next day. The next day came and went without a mattress and without them informing us that they would not be able to deliver the mattress as scheduled. The same thing then happened several days later at our next appointment because they "forgot" to put our mattress on the truck. They say that they are now going to "squeeze" us in today and the mattress will arrive between 2 and 10 tonight. I am supposed to wait 8 hours for them to arrive to bring a mattress that they have failed to deliver on multiple ocassions previously? I have never experience a combination of incompetence and terrible customer service before. It appears that I should have checked the internet before and I would have seen countelss complaints and that Sleepy's has been sued by multiple states for fraud and customer abuse type cases. Don't make the same mistake we did- buy elsewhere.

Potential fraud or mislabeled merchandise
Purchased Kingsdown mattress color-coded to be specific firmness; however mattress received turned out to be much firmer. Upon inspecting the tag, it was the correct color coding (green/blue) but then noticed that it was glued on top of an alternate tag for the firmest mattress available (red/red). So I am skeptical that I actually received the correct product - either a manufacturing issue with Kingsdown or alteration of label by Sleepy's. Working with Sleepy's to resolve now, with little success so far.

Bad experience
On 06/14/08 I purchased a mattress and a box at the SLEEPY'S MANCHESTER 169 HALE ROAD MANCHESTER, CT. I chose the option to pick it up at the store on 06/21/08. Around 6:00pm 6/20/08, I got a phone call from the store saying that the merchandise was shipped to 29 PAVILIONS DRIVE MANCHESTER, CT so I should go there to pick it up. I was not happy with that because I had planned to pick up something else from the BabiesRUS next door during the same trip. But what can I do? On 6/21/08, my husband drove a rental truck to 29 Pavilions Dr to pick up the stuff. The store manager Bob told him that they could not locate the items we bought. The rental truck was charged by mileage, not to mention the gas cost. So I was even less satisfied with Sleepy's and cancelled the order. On 07/08/08, I called 169 Hale Rd and talked to Shawn to find out the items I purchased were still available. Because I was short of time to shop for a mattress again, I asked to repurchase the items and have them delivered by Sleepy's with no delivery charge. Shawn asked about my preference on delivery date and time window and promised me I was ALL SET. I realized that he probably did not have my current address since I moved so I called him back to give him my new address. He took my address and again promised that I was ALL SET for delivery from 12:00 - 4:00 on 7/9/08. At 1:43pm 7/9, I got a call from the store's sales manager saying she was confused about my order so the mattress and box I purchased were taken off the delivery truck. I told her the story so she said they would put the items back to the delivery truck and she would call me back right away. I was waiting at home for the delivery the ENTIRE afternoon. Nobody from Sleepy's called me!!! Neither anything was delivered! So I called both 169 Hale Rd and 29 Pavilions Dr, total of 4 times requesting to talk to the sales manager. I wanted to find out whether they were going to deliver or not. Someone called Zex at 169 Hale Rd answered the phone twice and each time he claimed that he's a new employee and knew nothing. So I said please let me speak to someone else at the store then. But nobody else came to the phone. When I called the 29 Pavilions dr, they said they took my message and would have the sales manager to call me back. Again, the sales manager did not call me back. At 4:48pm I called the company's customer service to complain about my experience. Jeremy from customer service said he could set up a delivery from 3:00pm - 7:00pm tomorrow. I asked for a discount as compensation for the time I spent waiting for the delivery, all the phone calls I made, and the frustration I had for this terrible shopping experience from the very beginning. Jeremy claimed that he was already trying to accommodate me as they normally do not deliver from 3pm-7pm. But if the items were in the store when we went to pick them up at the first place, nobody would need to deliver anything. And where did that "you are all set" from Shawn go??? Why wasn't it delivered as it was promised? So after the first error for misplacing the items, they have to make another one for mispromising a delivery? I talked to Jeremy's supervisor, Russell from customer service, employee ID #RLR. He said I only have two options: cancel the order or have the order delivered another time. But what about the value of my time? I have to wait at home another time for the delivery, not to mention all the time I spent waiting for the sales manager's call back, and all the frustration with the error after error they kept making? At 6:42pm Russell called me saying he spoke with Mary Ann, the sales manager and she would call me back in the evening to resolve the situation. Again, SHE DID NOT CALL ME BACK!!! I am terribly upset with my experience at Sleepy's.

Don't use them
Sleepy's has NO interest in being honourable or doing the right thing. Many (but not all) of their employees are apathetic, rude (ESPECIALLY "JOE D. R. in customer service- who actually refused to let me speak to me manager and then HUNG UP on me mid-conversation) and weighed down by corporate red tape that keeps them from valuing their customers. They're only interested in taking your money.
AVOID SLEEPYS AT ALL COSTS- Take your business where they care about you and take pride in their product
My story:
So I was all set to buy the Simmons Angelique Plush from Macy's when I wandered into Sleepy's on a whim and asked if they had a comparable mattress. The salesman told me I was in luck! The Simmons Balthazar was the same bed! He showed it to me and assured me that it was nearly identical in every way to the Angelique Plush (and superior in the few ways it differed).
I took the bait and bought the bed.
The minute it was delivered I KNEW something was different. I was sinking down into a deep "V" shape (I only weigh 110 pounds) and I was waking up sore and miserable. I called the 800 number, thinking I must've gotten a defective bed, it felt SO different from the one at Macy's- to their credit- they admitted that the Balthazar line "is notoriously inconsistent" and sent out an identical replacement at no charge.
But it was no better.
I went back to Macy's and reassured myself that I wasn't crazy- the Angelique Plush felt totally supportive. I then called the 800 number again, just to make SURE that the bed I got was, in fact, the right comp- the woman told me that it wasn't! I had been given the Balthazar PILLOWTOP!!
I knew it!
Thrilled that it wasn't all in my head- I went to the store where I bought it and told them of the mix-up- turns out, they didn't even have the Plush version in the showroom and rather than lose the sale (and sending me 2 blocks away to try out the bed I was looking for) the guy just pretended that the bed he had was the bed I wanted. Oh and by the way, the pillow-top version was MORE EXPENSIVE.
Needless to say-I wanted to switch to the plush. And because I was still within the 21 DAY comfort exchange policy- they were willing to do- for a $249 fee, plus $80 for delivery. I felt this was an unfounded charge, considering I was sold a different mattress than the one I wanted.
The salesman told me there was nothing he could do about the charge and that I'd have to call 1-800-Sleepys about it.
So I did.
After a brief conversation with a snaky woman who clearly had no power or interest in helping me- I requested to speak with her manager- a *** named JOE.
He got on the phone and halfway through telling him my tale he interrupted me and rudely said "What is it you want". I tried to finish my story but he just said "Ma'am, we won't be waiving those charges".
I then politely asked Joe if he could recommend who would be able to waive those charges- he said "No one." I asked to speak with the person above him and at first he said "There is no one above me". When I pressed him, he said "None of the managers are available" and when I told him I would hold-he said "Uh no, you will not hold- I won't have you tying up this line" I asked for his name and he refused to give me any more than his initials "J.D.R." and then he hung up on me.
When I went back to the store and the salesman, who had begun to take pity on me, tried to make a call to the hotline to get the fees waived- and he was told- are you ready?- that good old' Joe D R had put a note on my account to not waive the fees under any circumstances.
Can you believe that?
I'm disgusted.
I feel frustrated and beaten up and taken advantage of and want to keep every single person I can from making the same mistake I did by "Trusting Sleepys".
