We warrant to the original purchaser, subject to the terms provided in this warranty, that the mattress and/or box spring manufactured by us which you have purchased (“Sleep System by Kingsdown, Inc.”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship as described in this brochure. This limited warranty begins the day you purchase your set of bedding and will remain in effect until the product by Kingsdown, Inc., is no longer owned by the original purchaser, or the limited warranty period (as shown below in the illustration) expires, whichever first occurs.

If your set of bedding is replaced through a warranty claim during the non-prorated/prorated period of the warranty, your original warranty remains in effect from your original purchase date.

If your product by Kingsdown, Inc. has a defect covered by this limited warranty, Kingsdown, Inc. will provide a replacement if a valid warranty claim is properly submitted within the applicable non-prorated period of the warranty. The replacement, if the claim is submitted in the non-prorated period of the warranty, will be provided at no charge, upon verification of the valid warranty claim, however, you will be responsible for any applicable transportation and handling fees.

Only the defective piece or part will be replaced, not the entire set of bedding, unless the entire set is determined to be defective. Replacement of one piece will not automatically result in the replacement of the other piece.

In the event of replacement, Kingsdown, Inc. reserves the right to use the closest comparable materials or models and does not guarantee that the replacement will match the existing piece.

In the event of a claim filed in the pro-rated period of the warranty, and the product is approved to be returned, your remedy will be the issuance of a merchandise credit from the retailer from whom you purchased the item, for an amount based on the warranty schedule calculation, which you may use toward the piece authorized for replacement. You will be responsible for any applicable transportation and handling fees of a return and/or exchange. If the retailer is no longer in existence, please see the section of this warranty titled “How to Make a Warranty Claim”.
