There are some things that can void your mattress’s warranty. Are you voiding it without even know it?
We come across a lot of questions in this industry. From “which bed is better for sleep apnea” to “which is better: a pillow top or a regular innerspring?”, we hear them all. But one of the questions we hear often is about the mattress warranty. Although not every manufacturer’s warranty is the same, there are some universal truths we would like to talk about like what is a non-prorated and prorated mattress warranty and what voids your claim. So let’s dive in!
Types of Warranties
While there are many different warranties available depending on your mattress company, there are two distinct categories of warranties: prorated and non-prorated. But what do these terms mean? The non-prorated portion of your warranty means that you will not have to pay anything for a replacement while a prorated warranty means you will have to pay a percentage of the price of a new mattress. These two distinctions can be within the same warranty. Let’s look at an example. You just bought a mattress with a 15-year limited warranty. This warranty has a 10-year non-prorated warranty and 5 years prorated warranty. If you file a claim in the first 10 years, you won’t have to pay anything out of pocket. But after the first 10 years, you will have to pay a percentage of the price to have it replaced for the next 5 years. The percentage that you will have to pay will increase each year until you have owned your mattress for 15 years.
What Voids Your Warranty?
There are actually quite a few things that can void your mattress warranty. Most warranties are voided by having improper foundation or frames. Not having the proper frame or foundation for your mattress can lead to premature wear and sag in the mattress. It is important to follow your mattresses instructions for the frame and foundation in order to keep your warranty intact. Another common problem that can void your warranty is staining, soiling, and fluids that penetrate your mattress. Even if these problems are not near a serious problem like sagging, it can void the warranty of the entire mattress. To avoid these problems, use a mattress pad or protector.
When purchasing a mattress, it is important to read your warranty documents in order to fully understand what could void your warranty and what you may end up having to pay. For more information on purchasing a new mattress, visit All American Mattress today!
