Adjustable bed failure compounded by horrid customer support
I've owned my king/split bed for 6 years. The air mattress has been fine. The mechanism for adjusting the bed position has been terrible. I've had to pay $300 for service calls twice without resolution. They have replaced the control arm and control box with no improvement. I have seen every error code in their manual and have reported them to customer service repeatedly only to hear that the solution is to unplug the bed and remove the batteries from the remote. While this works, it is a temporary solution only. The problem manifests with EVERY linen change, a chore that requires repositioning the bed. I avoid ANY position changes otherwise because of the expected failures. The Sleep Number tech people referred me to Legget Platt, the manufacturers of the mechanics, and they are no help either. Sales folks in the stores may not be dishonest when they tout the warranty and customer service, but they have no idea how poor that aspect of their company is. Referring a customer to a subcontractor for parts warranty coverage is ludicrous. The warranty itself is prorated and service calls still have a charge so it's nearly worthless. Buyers should know that if their bed has issues, they will likely be left without meaningful assistance or alternatives.
