Re: Mattress and Box spring question
That's funny. I guess if you REALLY want to take his advice you could take it down the the driveway, put a tarp over it and park your car on it the night before they come over, that should do the trick. Its really not defective, its just used up, Judy. Average life span of most beds is 7 to 8 years, that's it. At 10 years age its just finished. The all cotton and pure latex beds will go longer, but for a conventional bed like a Sealy, Serta, Simmons, King Koil, etc. that's all there is to it. And unless I miss my guess, they are going to pro-rate it. If they give you a new mattress free and clear I would be really surprised being its 10 years old. Call and ask them. How the prorate works in many of these instances and usually that comes out to the 'sale' price of what you would go out and pay for a new one. I've never seen a manufacturer hand out free replacements on 10 year old bedding, but hey - I guess it could happen!
Box Spring is up to you, some re-use, some replace. I've never seen one fail.
