Returns not as easy as promised
Took the Sleep Quiz; landed on the Midnight Core. Purchased. Delivery took longer than expected, but we got there. Beautiful mattress. I didn’t sleep well on it. It might have been a touch too soft, but I also slept quite warm on it. Sleep scores ran Low to OK. Needed to return. The return process is not going well. Helix contracted the services of ShareTown, who didn’t get back to me in 3-5 business days. Thereafter, I contacted ShareTown, who eventually confessed they couldn’t handle the return but laid out detailed instructions on how I could do the job for them. Not helpful. So … two weeks after the return authorization was finalized, I contacted Helix again to let them know ShareTown failed. They have assured me they will schedule with someone else and will be in touch once they get that worked out. My fingers are crossed that they will succeed this time. UPDATE: Two business days later, I reached out to Helix for an update. ShareTown was now asking that I spray paint TRASH on the mattress before they could re-attempt to schedule a pickup. Helix contacted LoadUp, who eventually came to haul the mattress off (to the landfill, to the best of my knowledge; it was not handled in a manner consistent with it finding a new home). I was left with the sense that I should have planned a post-trial path for the discarded mattress if I wanted to avoid feeling responsible for a virtually new mattress being sent to the landfill. When you assure potential buyers that returns will be easy—no need to lift a finger… it’s important that you can follow through on that promise.

Hi David. We’re very sorry your return experience was not as simple or seamless as it should have been. You’re right that if we say customers should not have to lift a finger, that is the experience we should deliver. The delays, unclear next steps, and added effort on your end are not acceptable and do not reflect the return experience we strive to provide. While we do work with third-party pickup partners, we take ownership when that experience falls short. Your feedback has been shared with our team as we work to improve return coordination and communication. We appreciate you sharing this feedback as it help us to identify areas in which we need to improve on and appreciate you give us a try.
