I’m 76, have scoliosis, a lot of arthritis, a very old mattress, and recently, a lot of pain upon awakening, even after a short time in bed.
Mattress companies promise great exchange/return policies.
Please reply if you have experience trying to return/exchange a mattress, especially bad experiences and/or advice for avoiding them.
…glad to read about several good experiences, but would like to know how common that is, especially if more than one exchange is requested.
Thanks!

@mslw
I totally agree! I put off purchasing a new mattress for a long time just for that reason. My body is so picky that I'm almost sure what's going to feel good in the store won't feel great at home, no matter how long I lay on it in the store. I comment stating mattress firm was very cooperative and agreeable with a return, but I'm hoping to care about more experiences as well. Thanks for your comment!

@mslw I was given the option in writing to return the mattress within 30 days, though I didn't have to return it, but I did have to purchase (for $10) a mattress cover for obvious reasons. I have a friend who did have to exchange her mattress and she had no problem doing so.
