Disappointing Customer Service and Lack of Support for Returning Customers with Disabilities
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Simba Mattress customer service, especially considering the company's strong public image and premium pricing.
I contacted Simba regarding a refurbished Simba Hybrid King size mattress that had lost its firmness and developed an uneven surface, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. Despite following care instructions and rotating the mattress regularly, it deteriorated significantly.
As someone living with a disability that affects mobility, I explained very clearly—multiple times—that I was unable to provide certain photographs (such as lifting the mattress or measuring slats) due to physical limitations. I asked for alternative ways to resolve the issue, hoping for a degree of understanding or flexibility. Instead, I received repeated requests for the same photos I had already said I could not provide.
Here’s a brief outline of the experience:
July 29 – I submitted a detailed complaint and photos of the mattress, explaining the issue and my physical limitations.
July 29 – Aug 1 – Simba repeatedly requested additional photos, including shots I explicitly stated I was unable to provide due to my disability.
Aug 4 – I clarified the issue was with the refurbished King mattress and again mentioned my disability.
Aug 4 (later) – Simba responded that the mattress was outside the 1-year warranty and 30-day trial period and therefore ineligible for return or replacement.
I replied again, asking for the matter to be reconsidered on the basis of goodwill and long-term customer loyalty (I have purchased multiple mattresses from Simba).
Aug 5 – I was told again that no exception could be made, despite my circumstances, history as a repeat customer, and the clearly defective condition of the mattress.
Throughout the correspondence, not once did Simba offer to escalate the case proactively or propose a discount, partial refund, refurbished replacement, or any kind of meaningful resolution. I was offered the chance to buy another product at full price instead. Frankly, this felt like being pushed toward spending more money rather than being supported as a customer with a legitimate concern.
To add insult to injury, Simba did acknowledge that my other mattress (Double size) was still under the 10-year warranty, but again demanded the same difficult-to-obtain images, ignoring the challenges I outlined.
This experience has been incredibly frustrating and frankly disheartening. For a company that advertises comfort, care, and innovation, the lack of compassion, flexibility, and basic customer support was deeply disappointing.
I expected much better from Simba and can no longer recommend their products—or their service—based on this experience.
