What Mattress Warranties Actually Cover

Most mattress warranties cover manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship, including body impressions or sagging beyond a stated threshold (usually 0.75 to 1.5 inches depending on the brand) and physical defects in the mattress cover.

Body impressions deeper than the threshold stated in the warranty (measure carefully) Coil spring malfunction, poking, or breaking through the mattress surface Physical defects in the fabric or mattress cover Foam separation or cracking not caused by improper use or improper foundation

How to Document a Mattress Defect for a Successful Claim

Mattress claims live or die by the quality of documentation. Most brands require photographic proof that the impression depth meets the warranty threshold. Here is the standard documentation approach.

Remove all bedding and place a straight edge or broomstick across the mattress Photograph the gap between the straight edge and the lowest point of the impression Measure the depth with a ruler and include the measurement in the frame Photograph the full mattress from multiple angles to show the overall condition

Document the depth, not just the dip. A measurement in the photo is what gets a mattress warranty claim approved.
