Mattresses

I've read a lot of reviews on Restonic mattresses. Some good, some bad. Just wondering if the people who loved their new mattress still do love their new mattress.

RE: Mattresses

Good question, Susan!

I once did a coffeemaker review and raved it up, then it started doing horrible stuff and I had to revise the review and change my rating. ha ha. I hated that, though, and hoped that no one bought one on my say so.

Susan, I have received EMAILS from persons long after a review was written asking me exactly what you asked here. And I replied to them. So, perhaps you could do that.

I notice that you're new to Epinions. Welcome! If you want to ask a Reviewer about a mattress, click on his/her name and their Email address is usually on their profile page. Just click on it, and you'll be in the letter mode.

Thanks for the good question and hope you get an anwer.

RE: Mattresses

You could always click on the "Comment" link and ask the question there. Ask three or four reviewers and you're bound to get a couple of answers.

comment on Corsicana mattress

I'd like to warn folks about Corsicana Bedding. They claim to be committed to customer satisfaction and offer a 20 yr. warranty on their products, but it's all B.S. I am stuck with a Rest Assured mattress and boxspring that has been kept scrupulopusly clean and covered while being slept on alone by one 145 lb. person (me) for 35 nights and by me and my husband (193 lbs.) for 25 nights and is now leaning up against the wall in the den while we sleep better on a 4" futon. The manager of the store told me when I was looking at the mattresses that this mattress was an excellent mattress, a very good value, had this great warranty, etc. After I called to complain about the backaches it was giving me, he said, "Well, it's just a cheap mattress." I called the manfacturer and was told they would honor their committment to customer satisfaction and exchange the mattress for a different style, one more comfortable for us. She said I could bring the mattress to the closest facility (which actually isn't too far - one of the reasons I chose it, local goods) or see if the store manager would agree to the exchange. I called him and he said to have this person call him to affirm what I had told him. Then the woman called me back and had a whole different story - someone would have to inspect the mattress and determine that it has more than 2 inches of sag before they would exchange it. I am disgusted with Corsicana and Future Tech of Lawrenceburg, TN, will never again patronize these businesses, and want to warn other people of the perils of dealing with these people.

You should write your mattress up as a review on Epinions, since few people will see your complaint here.

If Corsicana is not one of the brands listed on Epinions, there is a chance that one of the Category Leads can add it. You should contact pogomom (pogomom@hotmail.com) and ask her if your make and model of mattress can be added. If you do sent her an e-mail, be sure to give her the following information:

Manufacturer
Model name/number
Price
The manufacturer's Web site address
A link to a photo of the mattress

Let me know if you have any questions.

sleepworthy mattress

You should try a Sleepworthy mattress. They are less expensive than the other popular S mattresses (Sealy, Serta, Simmons) and sleep like a dream. I love mine and have had no problems!

RE: comment on Corsicana mattress

I have a friend who is dealing with basically the same issues with Corsicana. Her mattress was replaced after it began sagging in the middle. The mattress they replaced it with did the same thing. When she talked to a regional manager for Corsicana about the issues, she was told that Corsicana had discontinued making that line of mattresses because they were defective. However, they offered to provide her with another mattress, but she would have to pay the delivery fee. SHe said no and then she contacted the Better Business Bureau in Texas and filed a complaint. She has seen some progress, although they are still offering to replace the mattress. At this point, she just wants her money back so she can buy a reliable, and comfortable mattress. She has also considered retaining legal counsel to sue them for products liability, and breach of warranty. If anyone else out there is having trouble with a Corsicana Mattress, you should contact the Better Business Bureau in Texas.

RE: comment on Corsicana mattress

I have an issue with a Corsicana Mattress Queen Pillow Soft. This was a 30th Anniversary Edition from 2001. Does anyone else have this particular mattress?

Send me an email at john.horn@grandecom.net, if you have one of these mattresses.

corsicana bedding inc

My son has one of their sets, but the store he bought it at is out of business. I tracked it down to Corsicana bedding, but not real sure just which set it is. Luckily we live in Fort Worth and intend to take it to their front door. His mattress is just like a hole in the middle, less than two years old. Knowing my son he won't have the receipt on it but if nothing else I intend to get it replaced.

mattress

Ive been in bedding business since 1986, and very rarely do i see mattresses that really had something wrong with them. If something is wrong, its usually cause the owner didnt have a proper frame (especially on a queen size), put a new mattress on an old box spring, had extra foam/boards under the mattresss, or thinks body impressions means sagging. Corsicana is one brand we have sold two years now, and havent had one single complaint. They use the same spring systems found in some "big s" brands. I recommend the Comfort PLush for a great midgrade set.

RE: mattress

I'm considering buying a Corsicana mattress from someone who posted it in a newspaper. She said it's never been used, still in the plastic. It's a queen pillow-soft American model. Any more insights into this company? The price is hard to beat! Did those with problems have a frame with a middle bar? Anyone else who has had luck with this brand?

RE: sleepworthy mattress

When you caried the mattress back did they charge you a "pro-rate" on the warranty?
I have a Regalia mattress from Them that is 5 years old. The store I purchased it from is also out of business. I was told when I purchased the mattress that there was a 15 year non-pro-rated warranty on the mattress. Now that the mattress sags so badly on the edges that you can't sleep on it, Corsicana Mattress Company says I have to pay one-third of the cost of the mattress to have it replaced. Even the companies on the internet that sell the Regalia mattress claim it has a non-pro-rated warranty. Now what is the deal? Do tehy have a non-pro-rated warranty or not.

RE: sleepworthy mattress

I have been a dealer with Corsicana Bedding for four years and NEVER have they had a non-pro-rated warranty. The store you bought it from fed you a line to get you to purchase a bed. Unfortunately, that's how alot of these "fly by night" dealers work. In every mattress there is supposed to be a warranty card that fully explains the warranty. If possible, I would switch to the comfort plush(non-pillowtop). It's the best spring mattress they carry, unless you switch to a memory foam mattress. I did 4 years ago and will never sleep on a spring bed again!!

Hi. Just wanted to know if you still like your Sleepworthy? I'm ready to buy one, and accidentally came across this Epinions page. Please let me know since it's been a year and a half since your post about liking your Sleepworthy. Thanks

I have an opportunity to purchase a Corsicana Euro Visco King for $949 and a Queen for $745. The prices seem to be good but I can't find much info on the web to make an educated decision. Got any advice or Corsicana information?

RE: sleepworthy mattress

I bought a Sleepworthy Empress mattress in 1998 and used it for a year until moving overseas. It was the third mattress that my wife and I bought in a space of two years, and it was not only the only one that provided a comfortable night's sleep for me, but it was the least expensive of the three.

When we left the country, we put the Sleepworthy in storage until returning to the U.S. in summer 2006. We moved into a house that already had a decent-looking bed, so we just used what was there (it had belonged to close friends). A month later my wife was complaining of back pain; previously, I had been the complainer, but for some reason this mattress wasn't bothering me.

We pulled the Sleepworthy out of storage and set it up. My wife got the first decent night's sleep she'd had in a long while, and I'm finding it extremely comfortable, too -- far superior to the better-known mattress that came with the house.

The Sleepworthy mattresses are manufactured by a family business in North Carolina. They're a little hard to find, as they're mainly marketed only in the Southeast, I believe. You might try contacting the company directly; that's what I did, and they gave me the name of a retailer where I was living in Charlotte, N.C.

RE: comment on Corsicana mattress

well let me tell you i have dealt in mattresses for quite sometime and believe me the national standard on replacing a mattress is 1 and a half inches to 2 inches of sagging.first of all i am proud to own a corsicanna mattress ans i think it is obsurd to think that the mattress should not be looked at and examined before considering a replacement.it sounds like your complaint should be with your retailer.people feal as if a mattress set should be replaced just because they think so.well let me tell you all national manufactures work the same and thats a fact so deal with it.

RE: comment on Corsicana mattress

again it sounds like your problem started with the associate of the store and the manager.why scrutinize a fine product like corsicana bedding just because someone upset your fealings simply because the mattress needs to be examined it sounds as if you have not done your homework .as i myself am a owner of a corsicana mattress set for quite some years and it simply is the best mattress i have ever owned.

corsicana bedding

You people crack me up! Iv sold many different brands of bedding for about 8 yrs now and i have to say Corsicana has been on of the easiest companys to deal with on warrenty issues. First of all there have far fewer problems with this brand, but most of what you are complaining about is comfort! So what if its not comfortable, do you think they can guarrantee comfort at the prices they charge? Do you think everyones idea of comfort is the same? If you want a comfort guarantee go spend $2500 on a mattress set, then you SHOULD get a comfort guarantee.They can afford to take back the mattress then. And what happends if you buy a tv at walmart and it doesnt work, sure they will replace it but do they come get it for you? No, why should your mattress be any different.
I agree the problems i have see in most bedding is due to owner neglect, not rotating or flipping and trying to skimp and only buy a mattress to put on grandma Edna's 35 yr old box spring. Come on folks use some common sense!

RE: comment on Corsicana mattress

i cant believe you would say anything bad about corsicana they are far more expedient than any other manufacturer and believe me i could tell you some rather interesting info such as all others also charge a delivery on warranty claims and others such as your nationals have been known to sag and sag again.so i really cannot even believe you would type this info for people to see.SO PEOPLE READING THAT ARTICLE LET ME TELL YOU I HAVE OWNED A CORSICANA FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND ITS STILL IN SHOWROOM CONDITION AND THE COMFORT IS WONDERFULL.

Corsicana Bedding

I have a Corsicana Royal Plush mattress set. My Dad, daughter and sister-in-law as well as a good friend of ours, all have Corsicana mattresses. I also work for a store that has sold Corsicana for many, many years so I have had a lot of experience with them. Once in a great while we will have a defective mattress-usually in the fist 3 months. Corsicana has been the easiest company to deal with when it comes to returns. They have never once questioned a return nor have they told us that it has to be inspected. Yes, sometimes a mattress will have a defect-nobody's perfect. But overall, I am 100% satisfied with my 3 year old mattress-it still sleeps wonderfully. As for our customers- I would say we have 99.9% satisfaction and for that other .1%, we exchange the mattress for them first and then worry about Corsicana. Even if Corsicana did tell us that they wouldn't warranty it we would still replace it for the customer. I am not saying that other people haven't had problems with Corsicana but our experience has been wonderful.

Corsicana Bedding

I took receipt of a "Sussex" Corsicana mattress 7/30/05. It is just under 2 years old. Monday my husband and I rotated the mattress - we have done this about 4 times since we purchased it. When I got in bed Monday night I could tell that the now "new" side (the one my husband had been sleeping on) was NOT comfortable; I felt like I was sinking into the mattress. Tuesday morning I awakened with a sore back. My husband weighs 80 pounds more than I do and we have bought several beds in 37 years of marriage that have comfortably lasted 10+ years, so why not now? I've read all the available posts on this mfg. My question is, can a bed mfg. make a "lemon" and I got it? To those of you who are happy with your Corsicana mattresses, what model bed do you have that you like so much? The "Sussex" model has springs, foam and a pillow top. When we first got it, it was wonderful. The retailer is now out of business and we are going to deal with a new dealer in the area. I have spoken with the mfg. and they sound like they are going to give me a new mattress. I have not yet spoken with the new dealer.
Before Monday, I had been happy with the bed with 1 exception --- the original dealer said we would not feel the other person moving and/or rolling over in bed. From the beginning, that was NOT true, but since the bed was so comfortable I did not complain. Thanks for your answers/feedback.

sleepworthy mattresses

Having tried top of the line mattresses for most of my 60 years, I just discovered the Sleepworthy line at less than half the cost of the big names, but made in NC at the same factory. Yes, same materials, same craftsmanship, just sold under different names. We have been more than pleased with our Sleepworthy mattresses that we purchased a year and a half ago!

re: sleepworthy

We bought a Sleepworthy mattress in NC in 1998 because it was the most comfy one we found and the price was about half of all the others. Since then we've moved up North and went from the Sleepworthy queen sized to a Sealy King. It sucks. We've had it for 3 years and frequently go sleep in the guestroom just to use the Sleepworthy mattress! We're in the process of trying to contact the company to see if we can get one freighted up North. That's how awesome they are! Our guests always comment on how comfortable the mattress is. We agree.

Corsicana Mattress

Last August I purchased a King Mattress Set. I had it roughly two weeks before it had a huge dent in it. I say dent because it was there all the time.You could roll up hill to the other side of the bed. I am not as skinny as I use to be but, I also don't weigh that much to make a permanant sink in a new mattress. I called the store she told me there was nothing she could do. I travel a lot and was out of state for almost two months. When I got home it was still dented. I drove down to the store and made it clear there was something really wrong with that crazy thing.The store owner said that since I had been gone, several people had complained of the same problem. She said they would replace it now. She said something about the mattress having faulty springs.I told her I didn't want the same mattress, I wanted to upgrade. So now I am paying more money for the same brand. It is being delivered today. I will let you know in two weeks if anyone should buy this thing.

Mattresses

I've worked in the mattress industry for 21 years now...16 years as a manufacturer's sales rep for 2 of the big "S" brands and the past 5 as a retailer, selling a very good quality "off brand". Keep a few things in mind, folks. Comfort is a very personal thing. Spend as much time as you need to testing mattresses in the store. I wouldn't place too much stock on recommendations by others, from a comfort standpoint. Secondly, the history and integrity of the manufacturer and dealer is more relevant than the actual brand. About 80% of all mattress components are shipped by one or two companies to the HUNDREDS of mattress producers nationwide. Lastly, no matter how long any warranty claims to be, the reality is....a good quality set set used by two average weight adults every night is designed to provide about TEN YEARS of good support and comfort. Hope this helps.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

Hi!
You mentioned you would follow up on this mattress. What model did you buy? How has it performed so far?

I have another question. Realistically, what IS a good brand of mattress to buy? We are in the market, but, I have heard such horror stories about Sealy, Simmons, Serta, Sterns and Foster, and now Corsicana bedding. Are there any that are "safe"?

RE: Corsicana Mattress

For all of you out there considering buying a Corsicana:
DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND!!!! of course these dealers are going to promote their product. It's a bunch of B.S. Here's the nightmare expeirience I'm going through right now:
about 6 months ago I was broke and got talked into buying a pillowtop Winslow model from the "Royal Heritage" line Corsicana makes. The dealer was in a shady warehouse, I should have been more careful to begin with. After a month I noticed indentations where I sleep. Being very busy I didnt think much of it, until recently I had back pain and the sagging was very noticeabe. Please note that I sleep alone and weigh 110 pound. I called the store, and the dealer claimed that my bed was defective, that the company sent some out with a "bad batch of foam", and that dozens of others who bought the same bed had the same problem. He offered a refund, but I was stupid and decided to "upgrade" and paid even more for a "nicer" one. They exchanged it without any trouble. However, I have had this new one, a plush version of the same line, for 2 WEEKS and its is caving in worse than the other. I don't care what any seller says about standard "settling", a mattress should never be sinking in that much, whether 1 or 2 or 10 inches, especially after that use. I called the dealer and he now acts as if he has no idea what I'm talking about. He made me take pictures to prove I wasnt making it up. He said I probably won't have anything done about it, despite the warranty, and I have to wait until he "files a claim with the manufacturer". This is piece of crap bed and now they are trying to rip me off. Granted I have not dealt directly with Corsicana, yet. But the moral of the story: these are terrible quality and DON'T BUY ONE, no matter how cheap it is or what a great deal it seems like. Fork over a little extra and at least get a better brand (if you want a great deal and good quality, I highly recommend Denver Mattress CO). Alot of these beds are being sold as clearance and closeouts, but as I've learned, many dealers like mine are selling used and refurbished beds as new, especially with these cheaper brands. BUYER BEWARE! Well, that's my two cents. I will update once I find out what will be done about this one I have.

corsicana

I am dealing with a place in Springfield, Or.
Here is an update: I still can't get this warehouse to even call me back. However, I did call Corsicana directly, and talked to the rep for this area. They say that they have never had any mattresses with a "bad batch of foam" and they are also concerned about this seller. Obviously the store lied and is trying to screw me over. I probably recieved used beds. If this is the same store you are having trouble with, you should send me a message and I will give you the Corsicana reps name and number, if there is more than one of us going through this perhaps we could get our money back. I bought it from Northwest Beds and More. I've looked on the BBB and they have had a few complaints filed against them already.
Either way, these are still just poor quality mattresses. A good quality mattress would never sell so cheaply to begin with. I would never buy this brand if I had know what I'd be going through.

I just took possession of a Desire mattress from Unclaimed Freight in Arlington, Texas today (made by Corsicana). It is a 14-inch thick euro top, with springs and foam (not sure if there is memory foam or not). I literally just took possession today. Is this, by chance, the replacement mattress you took? I will post again if I have any problems. Supposedly, my salesman will replace mine within the first year if there are any problems. I have the warranty card, too. So, we will see.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

Quote: blazer6
Last August I purchased a King Mattress Set. I had it roughly two weeks before it had a huge dent in it. I say dent because it was there all the time.You could roll up hill to the other side of the bed. I am not as skinny as I use to be but, I also don't weigh that much to make a permanant sink in a new mattress. I called the store she told me there was nothing she could do. I travel a lot and was out of state for almost two months. When I got home it was still dented. I drove down to the store and made it clear there was something really wrong with that crazy thing.The store owner said that since I had been gone, several people had complained of the same problem. She said they would replace it now. She said something about the mattress having faulty springs.I told her I didn't want the same mattress, I wanted to upgrade. So now I am paying more money for the same brand. It is being delivered today. I will let you know in two weeks if anyone should buy this thing.

Hi!
You mentioned you would follow up on this mattress. What model did you buy? How has it performed so far?

I have another question. Realistically, what IS a good brand of mattress to buy? We are in the market, but, I have heard such horror stories about Sealy, Simmons, Serta, Sterns and Foster, and now Corsicana bedding. Are there any that are "safe"?

corsicana

The "new" one I got was a Corsicana, the Royal Heritage line in a plush version. I know from store to store they call the mattresses by different names, like "Desire" and "The Willow" etc to make it hard to comparison shop. It may be similar but I have no idea. Make sure you get it in writing from the salesperson about replacing it. Otherwise, your warranty won't cover it. I called the manufacturer, and they claim that they will not do anything about anything less than 2" of depression in the mattress, which is ridiculous. Honestly, I wouldn't even risk it, and I would try and return it now if you could.

Here's another update. Corsicana would do nothing, the told me I had to deal with the store. The store offered to allow me to exchange it for a a new pillowtop, the first mattress I had got (that serverely caved in). Since it was $90 cheaper than the second one, the "upgrade" I got, they would have owed me $90. However, they said they would refuse to refund the difference even if I exchanged, essentially pocketing my 90 dollars, as well as saying they would charge $50 FOR DELIVERY!!! outrageous, when it was free before and I live 5 miles away.

I have Officially filed a complaint with the BBB. This company, Northwest Beds, is scamming people and conducting dishonest business practices. I have found more people within the community going though this. Corsicana had terrible customer service also, and refused to even deal with it, and will continue to deal mattresses to this seller.

If you want to get a new mattress, I swear by Denver Mattress Company, based out of Denver of course, but now have stores in alot of states. They make the beds themselves I owned one for 3 years and it looked brand new the day I sold it (and only cuz I was moving). No sagging or anything, and they are VERY affordable. You could get a pillowtop from $600 to over $1500 I believe. I paid $350 for my mattress set a few years ago (what I paid for the p.o.s. corsicana) and it was great. You might have to pay for shipping, I will have to pay $200 to ship it but I really believe it will be worth it. If you have one in your area, even better. They are usually affiliated with the group of stores "Furniture Row".
Their website is www.denvermattress.com

Comfy in Corsicana Bed

I've read some of the reviews and I've had a different experience. I love my queen-sized, Esteem Pillow top. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. My mother, who has severe back problems slept in the bed for a visit and she wanted to take it home with her. I don't know if it will last as long as some others, but I'm not convinced it won't and I'm loving it now!

RE: sleepworthy mattress

I have a Corsicana memory foam mattress that we paid well over $800 for, and it is crap! the whole side is coming out of it, and it is leaning to one side really bad. It is so out of shape that it hurts your back. I am hoping that they will warranty this because we have only had this mattress about 3 years (bought it on closeout) but probably will give us the runaround. I am wanting to go back to the dealer who sold it to us and complain and see what they have to say about it, but they might play dumb, too. But as for you, STAY AWAY!!!!! The best luck we had with a mattress is a spring air, I wish I had it back, it didn't sleep half bad when we got rid of it :) Anyway, I am sticking to name brand stuff from now on. Good luck to you.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

In response to "safe" brands, there is a brand out there, it is not very well known, although it is very well known here in Missouri where I live (The company is in Cape Giradeau) it is called Campbell Matress Company. I would feel safe owning one, in fact I think my kids have one upstairs, my mom and dad had one, my mother and father in law had a couple, and my husband's grandparents had several sets with no problems. They are reasonably priced, and I looked at a set the other day, and it was at a small furniture store here in town and the sales lady was more than glad to give me the phone number of the customer service department to talk to them about their company and their mattresses. If anyone wants any more information, please let me know. I hope they carry them in your area. Blessings to all.

New Corsicana mattress, question about size

Hello. I just went to my local mattress firm and bought a Mattress Firm Direct Ambition PIllow Top mattress which is made by Corsicana. The price came out to be $382 not including tax. When I brought it back home and propped it on top of my old box / foundation, I saw that it was significantly shorter than my old mattress, by 4 inches or maybe a little more. Is this normal to have varying sizes for mattresses? I am only about 5'7" and I frequently touch the edges of the bed or my feet hang off half way out when I am sleeping sideways stretched out. The tag says it is 74" long and I am not sure how that compares to normal full size mattresses.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

Thanks for this post! We grew up in Southern Illinois and have relatives who live there. That is not far from Cape Girardeau, MO. I will let my relatives and friends who are in the market for mattresses there know about this company.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

Quote: oregonrunner
For all of you out there considering buying a Corsicana:
DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND!!!! of course these dealers are going to promote their product. It's a bunch of B.S. Here's the nightmare expeirience I'm going through right now:
about 6 months ago I was broke and got talked into buying a pillowtop Winslow model from the "Royal Heritage" line Corsicana makes. The dealer was in a shady warehouse, I should have been more careful to begin with. After a month I noticed indentations where I sleep. Being very busy I didnt think much of it, until recently I had back pain and the sagging was very noticeabe. Please note that I sleep alone and weigh 110 pound. I called the store, and the dealer claimed that my bed was defective, that the company sent some out with a "bad batch of foam", and that dozens of others who bought the same bed had the same problem. He offered a refund, but I was stupid and decided to "upgrade" and paid even more for a "nicer" one. They exchanged it without any trouble. However, I have had this new one, a plush version of the same line, for 2 WEEKS and its is caving in worse than the other. I don't care what any seller says about standard "settling", a mattress should never be sinking in that much, whether 1 or 2 or 10 inches, especially after that use. I called the dealer and he now acts as if he has no idea what I'm talking about. He made me take pictures to prove I wasnt making it up. He said I probably won't have anything done about it, despite the warranty, and I have to wait until he "files a claim with the manufacturer". This is piece of crap bed and now they are trying to rip me off. Granted I have not dealt directly with Corsicana, yet. But the moral of the story: these are terrible quality and DON'T BUY ONE, no matter how cheap it is or what a great deal it seems like. Fork over a little extra and at least get a better brand (if you want a great deal and good quality, I highly recommend Denver Mattress CO). Alot of these beds are being sold as clearance and closeouts, but as I've learned, many dealers like mine are selling used and refurbished beds as new, especially with these cheaper brands. BUYER BEWARE! Well, that's my two cents. I will update once I find out what will be done about this one I have.


Hi!

Just reporting back in, as I said I would. I have hit the 6-month mark with my Corsicana mattress and I absolutely love it.

You had mentioned they change the names of the mattresses from store to store. But, on the Corsicana Mattress website, you can see series numbers and such for each mattress - those never change.

On the site, there are different "lines" of the mattresses. The one that I bought is in the Pinnacle line and is named Desire. The style number is 190-3.

What I found helpful in researching the mattresses prior to buying is to know the specs of the ones that I find comfortable. This helped with comparison shopping and with making sure I was getting what I found most comfortable. This will also help if you are considering buying a Corsicana mattress, but, the names are different from the store at which you are shopping versus other stores, or versus the website. I can't imagine why they would have different names from the store to the website, because mine didn't. It was called the Desire in the store and on the website. But, nevertheless, if you know the specifications, you can find the Corsicana mattress online.

Continued....

RE: Corsicana Mattress

...Continued from Previous Post

Again, I have the Desire mattress, from the Pinnacle Series. The specs for my mattress can be found at the following link, listed under Desire:

http://www.corsicanabedding.com/2007pinnacle-foamencased.html

After I read all the comments on this board (of course, by then I had already paid for my mattress and was awaiting delivery), I called Corsicana Bedding and spoke with a very nice customer service representative. She was very knowledgable about the product and, while she did not know the names of the mattresses per se, she was dead on in her matching my specifications to the model number, off the top of her head!

I know that everyone's experience may not be the same, but I really love my mattress. We had had financial difficulties for most of our marriage and had to sleep on used, hand-me-down mattresses. It had taken a toll on our backs. I spent $1000 on this set, which is not considered a price to be paid for a top of the line mattress, by any means. But, what we got is HEAVEN! I didn't realize what toll bad mattresses and not getting a good night's sleep had taken on our bodies, until we got this mattress.

We recently went to spend our anniversary at a 5-star hotel. I am such a snob now until I didn't sleep as well on their mattresses (which were Sealy, I think, and, supposedly top of the line). I travel a lot in my line of work, too, but I can never wait to get back home to get to my bed; it is the best!

I will write back in in another 6 months. I hope I am still liking my mattress then, too.

One More Thing

Sorry...

I meant to say that, at the store I purchased my Corsicana mattress, at the foot of the "bed", they had the name of the mattress, along with the specs. I found out that this spec sheet was given to them by Corsicana mattresses. I asked them to make me a copy of it prior to purchasing. They gave me the copy and it helped me to do some comparison shopping. I would imagine that any reputable Corsicana Bedding retailer would have these sheets.

Thanks!

RE: Corsicana Mattress

I read a few comments on the Corsicana Mattress and has had the same problems with it. A BIG DENT in the mattress. We brought it back to the store we bought it from and had it replaced, but still have the SAME problem.... The store claims that we had a defected one, but the problem still occurred in the mattress. It has created problems for our backs (Both my husband and myself). So I wrote to the company that makes those mattress and hope we will get a response from them.

RE: corsicana bedding

We rotate our mattress regularly, but the problem still occurred. So maybe you feel that there is NO problem, but there are quite abit that feels differently, so that company has not stood behind their product and we feels that they are telling a tall tale to their vendors also. Yes we spent $1200.00 on just the top mattress, so it's not like we paid cheaply for this mattress. Whether you spend more or less, they should still satisfy their customers 100% and maybe they will be returning future customers.

RE: Corsicana Bedding

Being a dealer of Corsicana myself, what the retailer told you about not feeling when the other moves was just a sales pitch or should I say a lie. The only way you would never not feel when another person moves is with an all foam mattress. As far as you dealing with another retailer with your return, you should not have any problems b/c your warranty is with Corsicana and not the retailer. If your problem is truly a warramty issue and not a comfort issue Corsicana is the best about handling warranty claims. GOOD LUCK!

It sounds like your problem is with the retailer selling refurbished mattresses as new and not with Corsicana. Do your homework and don't deal with shady dealers.

Corsica Comfort Plus Mattress, Horizon series

Can anyone tell me anything about the King size mattress that Corsica Bedding has in the Comfort Plush Horizon Series? I am trying to find my son a new mattress but can't afford a real expensive one. I had seen this particular one, but don't know if it is firm enough for someone with a bad back. Please, I would like some info if anyone knows anything about this mattress.

Hello,

Thank you so much for posting your opinion about the Corsicana Royal Heritage mattress. I was just about to purchase a much in the same way you got yours and I'm so sorry to read about the trouble you've had. I was planning on meeting someone tomorrow (at his warehouse in Salem, OR)

By any chance is that where you got yours? How is your new, upgraded mattress working out by the way?

Thanks,
Donna

Elegant Rest by Corsicana

I have had my King size mattress set for 3 years. I've kept a nice waterproof mattress cover on it since I bought it. My husband and I are tall, so we aren't super light. I have had my kids sleep with us when they were babies too. We have no issues with our mattress. We love it! I do see where I need to keep weight off the sides though...a common problem for any mattress. We spent over a thousand dollars, so that could be why I am so happy with my bed. You get what you pay for! Does anyone else have the same bed?
Before this bed we had a queen size Serta pillow top. It only lasted 2 years! It was awful! Never again will I buy Serta. I will stick with Corsicana...

Verlo Mattress

We were in the market for a new mattress and visited our local Verlo store in McHenry Illinois. The owner/salesman that we dealt with was Ray Westman. Ray was very helpful in the process by explaining our options and working within our budget. Ray even went a step further in giving us a quick tour of the factory and showed us just how our mattress would be built. Our three children enjoyed the tour and left the store with a real understanding of just how things work when you buy something at a store. Many thanks to Ray and all he brings to his store. I would tell anybody to go see Ray anytime. He made the process easy.

Sure Corsicana mattresses have the same springs the other brands have! The difference is in the quality or grade of foam they use-the cheapest! Price is not everything.

good, better, best

I own a mattress store and can confirm that Corsicana Bedding is a great company to do business with. The product line, when comparing apples to apples, is the best value hands down; in addition, the customer service and warranty systems are excellent. Corsicana is run like a fine tuned military machine and they provide a stressless platform for bedding and furniture dealers, making it easy to get warranty issues resolved for everyone including the consumer.

Corsicana is the 7th largest mattress manufacturer in the country and are just beginning to service the Northeast. This will propel them to a top five contender. A company just can't grow that big that quickly without doing a great amount of things right!

As to the complaints posted, I will say that all bedding companies produce good, better, and best models. There isn't one company that I know of which hasn't had innumerous complaints similar to the ones' posted below. There are varying degrees of quality in every company's lineup and I have witnessed this issue with all of them. Consumers need to educate themselves as best they can but understand that a wide spectrum exists. If something does go wrong, I can honestly say that Corsicana takes care of the problem promptly.

RE: good, better, best

I could not agree more. It's an old saying "you get what you pay for". the easiest way to judge the quality of a mattress is the warranty. the longer the warranty the better the quality. to break down warranty: 1 year good luck; 5 years feels new 2-3 years; 10 years feels new 5-7 years; 15 years feels new 10-12 years; 20 years feels new 15-17 years. in the remaining portion of the warranties the beds will start to loose that new feeling, show signs of wear and tear, but not be enough to be considered a warranty issue. i've read through all the post, most of the people sounded angry because they received bad customer service from the store where they bought their mattress. yes they may have gotten a faulty mattress, but replacing and exchanging is easy with the proper customer service. you should do your home work on who you are buying your bed from. ask them before you buy: is there a comfort guarantee? is there a lowest price guarantee? do you service all warranties for your customers in house? ask for the detail on those promises. do you have to the keep the bed a certain amount of nights before you can do a comfort exchange? is there a restocking fee? for the lowest price guarantee does it have be the exact same mattress or one of similar quality? for a warranty service is there a delivery charge(i can tell you every one will charge you)? are these promise in writing? people frequently say they are going to get a lawyer when they get poor customer service. why?! general speaking you will spend more to win your case that you could receive in retribution. the truth of the matter is it is buyer beware. always ask questions. a sales person will always be willing to tell you what promises his company offers. unless they offer none. mattresses are still largely put together by human hands, humans are not perfect, mistakes can be made. generally if a bed is going to have a problem it happens with-in the first 3 months. if it doesn't sag with in that time period, usually you're good. for those of you who have problems with your corsicana bed they are simply the easiest company to deal with when it comes to warranty. generally speaking they will take a bed back as long as it doesn't look like it has been dragged threw the parking lot. i find they will take a bed back no questions asked whether it's a warranty issue or not. i will tell you they take it back from a store no questions asked, you personally might find it a little more difficult. from a business perspective, stores buy hundreds a beds a week, you buy one every ten years, the store will receive the best customer service. so make sure you buy from a good store, know what options you have if your not happy with your product, and remember you get what you pay for.

Corsicana

I have been selling mattresses for five years now. Four at a big, national company and one at a small company. I have to say that Corsicana is one of the best brands out there. The national standard for warranty issues are any sag over 1.5 inches. Sounds like most of the issues y'all are having are with the retailers.

RE: good, better, best

Warranty VS Life of Mattress:
Consumers should not expect the length of the "warranty" to dictate how long a mattress will last. I am a retailer and in my experience some of the poorest built mattresses on the market have the longest warranty. I have seen off brand sets with 30 year warranty on them. This is just over promising and under delivering. The realistic life span of an average mattress is 6 to 10 years. The materials used in all mattresses will naturally break down over time. It is unrealistic to think that this will not happen. Every manufacturer has a different warranty-some better than others. The real research you will want to do is on the store you buy it from-because the fact is the warranty will be serviced through them-not directly with the manufacturer. Go into buying a mattress with open eyes-buy the mattress that is best for you not what is "the best deal".

Corsicana

Hi I bought a new mattress and boxspring for about 700 today from a warehouse. The bed came vacuumed sealed in a box. When the guy delivered the set, the bed was about 3 inches short of the box spring. I called and asked the company and he said its so the memory foam doesn't sag. When I asked about the height of the mattress, he said it would take up to 72 hour for the foam to rise. It is suppose to be a 10" corsicana bed. Right now its about 9inches. I tried to look on the bed for the mattress type but all I see is on the mattress cover is advanced urthane technologies. No where on the mattress does it say corsicana.. only the box spring. Can anyone confirm their mattress says corsicana? and that the mattress covers the length of the box spring? Its short about 3 inch either on the foot or head of the bed.

RE: Corsicana Mattress

Can anyone tell me which Corsicana mattress this is and if it is on their website? I am trying to figure out which "style" of Corsicana mattress I have. I don't see a "style number" or any number of the format 000-0 like posted by mommyowp like on their website. It is labeled:
"3500KPMD: 6/6 Sovereign PT Matt"
"Pryor w/gold Sovereign pt".
"Label :FR1012, List:87TX, Code:B(warranty level), Load"0096743"
It is a king size. There is one other label on it that simply reads: "Royal Heritage Collection", but the pillow top stitching looks much different than the heritage models I saw. I took a picture of the label.
Thank you

Here is a link to the pic of my label.
