Nolah complaints include sagging, return policy, not remaining cool, too soft, company not pick up the mattress for the return, and uncomfortable. Customer service Live Chat tests showed excellent performance from knowledgable and native English speaking staff for a rating of 10 out of 10. Nolah Mattress BBB Complaints Analysis There have only been four complaints filed with the BBB since September 2018. Surprisingly all four were filed in November and December of 2020. There are no details for two of the complaints, but I will share my thoughts on the two detailed ones. Nolah is a good option and you can save up to $800 with their sale here. BBB Complaint 1 Product in question: Nolah Signature Mattress 12" Customer stated that the product was great for the first year and that they rotated it every four to six months. After one year the quality of the air pockets continued to degrade with excessive sagging and sinking, which is causing sleep issues. Now, my wife and I are at a point that it sinks down far enough in the hips and center areas of our bodies, that we are unable to sleep on our side or stomach due to unnatural arching and curving of our bodiesBBB, accessed January 27, 2021 The customer did not get satisfaction from the Customer Service Representatve and was denied a warranty claim. Every company makes mistakes and it is, in my opinion, more important how a company deals with these issues. And I am impressed with the followup to this BBB complaint. The co-founder of Nolah personally responded to the complaint and explained that it was a new employee that denied the warranty claim and that the Head of Customer Service approved it the next morning. The customer had filed the BBB claim during this timeframe. The co-founder approved an immediate replacement mattress be sent to the customer, bypassing the warranty process. This is a classy way to handle the situation and shows me that the company cares about its reputation. So I say score one for Nolah for the followup and taking care of the customer. The failing mattress is concerning of course. BBB Complaint 2 This customer is a company's nightmare I think. The complaint is only one sentence long and basically says pick up my mattress and refund my MONEY. It's been over 30 days. Still waiting for them to pick up , the matress. , and refund my $$ $707.05BBB, accessed January 27, 2021 Well, a company co-founder provided a long respond and details where the deal when off the rails. The customer wanted to return the mattress before the end of the 30-day test period. This is a standard requirement with mattress companies and should not be a surprise to anyone who did ANY research for buying an online mattress. Rather than wait, the customer filed a chargeback with their credit card company. This means the money is removed from Nolah and is sort of "in escrow" until the credit card conducts an investigation and awards the funds to the customer or Nolah. This can take a month or two, but the customer is demanding the funds from Nolah. If the credit card company awards the funds to the customer (which is doubtfull in my opinion) then the customer would get their money back plus that amount again from Nolah. Obviously, this cannot happen. This all would have been resolved if the customer didn't go to DEFCON 1 right away. They created the situation they are in by filing a dispute with the credit card company rather than follow the warranty policy requirements. Score this one for Nolah. I am not taking sides, this is just how I see it based on my experience and research. So that only leaves two other BBB complaints filed since September 2018 and I think that is a good track record... especially compared to some companies! Nolah Mattress Reddit Complaints One common complaint among Nolah users is the mattresses lack of ability to stick to its promise of remaining cool and relieving pain. Nolah Reddit Complaint 1 I am waiting on a response from Nolah about their ratings for the maximum weight for their products. I have not seen this information listed for any mattress company so I doubt I will receive any information. This customer is tall, heavy, and has bulging dics in his neck. Ok, so I am not sure how much value this complaint is going to have since he has two things that make it difficult for any mattress to provide him with a comfortable sleep. He returned the Nolah and purchased a Winkbed and had the same issues. Well, he didn't mention that his girlfriend had any issues with the two mattresses so I am going to guess that this situation is unique to a small percentage of the population. I'm a hot side sleeper who is tall and considered heavy in the mattress world. I also have some bulging discs in my neck which makes sleeping difficult and I get pain in my neck/lower back.Reddit, accessed January 27, 2021 Reddit Complaint 2 This couple liked it at first. His wife is a side sleeper and he is a stomach/back sleeper. After a month they were both pretty much pain-free and it this is an improvement over their last mattress. they both toss and turn all night, but wake rested and pain-free. So the tossing and turning is a complaint, but they feel good in the mornings. Some complaint about it not being good for stomach sleepers, but he says it is fine for him. So these are what I might call good complaints haha. The real issue seems to be sagging. lots of sinkage especially next to another person in the bedReddit, accessed January 27, 2021 Reddit Complaint 3 Too much motion transfer for this customer. I cannot understand the other two complaints of too soft and too hard??? It was both too soft and not supportive and too hard feeling if that makes sense.Reddit, accessed January 27, 2021 Nope, it doesn't make sense to me. Please let me know if you understand what that might mean and I will update this article. Reddit Complaint 4 One customer had trouble getting Nolah to pick up the mattress for the return under the trial period. The customer says that their Customer Service Representative is trying to make a deal to save the company money due to issues with picking up the mattress due to Covid. Well, Covid has been around for about a year so update your policies if you are going to try to use it as an excuse. If I was this customer I would send an email and cc their state Attorney General. That should get their attention. State in the email that you are going to file a complaint with the Attorney General and the BBB and file a dispute with your credit card company to issue a chargeback if they continue to go against their policies. I hate it. Today I asked about returning it and this was their response: (basically we need an unspecified amount of time to arrange pickup due to covid or we will give you 60% of the cost back and you keep it)Reddit, accessed January 27, 2021 Nolah Website Complaints & Rating Nolah mattresses feature an excellent 4.7 overall rating on their website. Boasting mostly positive reviews, most users love the mattress's medium-firm feel and revolutionary cooling technology. Buyers enjoy the mattress's pressure-relieving ability. At the same time, plenty of Nolah buyers complain that the mattress failed to contour to their pressure points. In fact, they note that the mattress led to an uncomfortable night's sleep. Nolah Customer Service Rating and Performance Analysis Live Chat Performance Its website live chat feature is amazing and I give its staff a 10 out of 10 rating. Other companies had to dig around for information most times, which is ok as they were mostly pretty quick. But this service is awesome as I asked for a couple of somewhat tough questions and the Customer Service Representative was able to copy and paste the information into the chatbox. One question she (Tracey) had to dig up only took a few seconds. I was super impressed and the answers to my questions indicate to me that this is a quality product that I would be comfortable buying. A summary of the important information received included: The maximum weight recommended for the Signature and Evolution models is 750 pounds. That means 350 pounds for each side on Queen, King, and Cal King size for the Original, Signature, and Evolution models. The company recommends these two models for sleepers over 190 pounds.The maximum allowable gap between the bed frame slats is 4". This is more than most other companies that are usually 2.5 - 3". This indicates to me the company is confident in its quality, strength, and durability of the three models. Live Chat Transcript You — Please update your info Hi, I am wondering if there is a weight limit for the signature and/or the evolution? Tracey S joined the chat Tracey S Hi there! You — Please update your info Hello! ??? Tracey S Due to Nolah's high-resilience poly foam, the mattress should easily support 700lbs total or 350lbs weight per person per side.-350lbs for Twin, Twin XL, and Full.-700lbs for Queen, King, and Cal King.If you're worried about accommodating someone significantly heavier than that, please be assured that any sleeper, regardless of weight, should be able to achieve the cooling comfort of the Nolah mattress.We do recommend the Signature and the Evolution mattresses for anyone over 190lbs, due to the thicker and more durable support layers.That said, while a significantly heavier sleeper will not void the warranty, it may cause Nolah to soften more quickly than with an average weight sleeper and therefore may eventually alter the comfort-providing abilities of Nolah. Let me know if you have any other questions, as I am here to help 😊 You — Please update your info Ok, thanks for the very fast response. I guess others have asked the same question lol Tracey S Yes. You're welcome! Glad I could help. Have a good one! You — Please update your info Is there a actual number of inches of sag included in the warranty? I saw one warranty that stated a 3" and deeper dip would be covered by warranty. Tracey S Let me get you the link, and I will look at it too. The warranty covers product defects not caused by normal wear and tear.The 10" Original, the 12" Signature, and the 15" Evolution all have a limited lifetime warrantyPlease click the below link for a detailed explanation of the warrantyhttps://www.nolahmattress.com/pages/limited-warranty-information You — Please update your info thank you :) Tracey S You're welcome. if used correctly on a supportive and proper foundation/base which is substantial enough to support the mattress and its users - must only show normal deterioration, which is defined as having visible indentations of less than one inch (1.0”); You — Please update your info ahhh, thanks. Is there a maximum gap between slats? I saw 3" max on one and 2.5" on another Tracey S Yes. the max. is 4". The Nolah mattress can be used with almost any bed frame or foundation.Most of our customers just continue to use their current foundation with their new Nolah mattress. If your bed foundation is slated, please ensure that the slats are not more than 4" apart.Any box spring, platform, adjustable base, hardwood floor, or carpet will all work great for your Nolah mattress. You — Please update your info Wow, that is more than any other I noticed. That is great! Nolah Warranty Policy Analysis The lifetime limited warranty should be carefully looked at because after 15 years the coverage changes considerably. Some important points that I think potential buyers should consider includes: During the first 15 years "Nolah Sleep LLC shall be responsible for the repair or replacement and shipping costs associated with repair or replacement." I am not sure how they would "repair" the mattress. So this should be pretty straight forward, but there is no mention of the original defective mattress. So I am going to guess that the customer is responsible for disposing of the original mattress.Between years 15 and 25 years the company will decide between two options: 1. "repair the mattress at a handling cost to the original owner" and 2. replace the mattress and the original customer must pay 50% of the cost of the original purchase price plus a $75 shipping fee. A warranty claim for a mattress more than 25 years after purchase date is the same as #2 except the customer pays 60% of the original purchase price. Screenshot of Nolah Warranty Policy. Source accessed January 29, 2021 WOW: I just realized that Nolah updated the warranty on November 1, 2020 and it makes ZERO SENSE. They need a lawyer or anyone to review it and fix it. The company states: Only Nolah Mattresses which meet the following requirements will be replaced or repaired under the Limited Warranty:Nolah When the sag, or indent, is less than 1". That means a brand new mattress that was never used qualifies for replacement under the warranty haha. Perhaps they should say something like "when mattress sag exceeds 1""???"The Nolah Mattress must not show any physical damage to the foam caused by craftsmanship". Again, a new mattress qualifies while a failing one cause by poor craftmanship is NOT cover lol. "must not show craftsmanship defects including seams and zipper". Who is writing this important policy! Screenshot of Nolah Warranty Policy. Source accessed January 29, 2021 Trial Period Nolah boasts a fantastic lifetime warranty that covers all manufacturing and craftsmanship defects. In case your shipment is defective, the brand replaces or repairs your mattress while covering all shipping costs. Moreover, the company offers consumers a 120-night to try out their desired mattress. That way, buyers can judge whether the mattress meets their unique sleeping style or not.

Helpful Information I have seen the same questions popping up during my research so I will try to provide that information here. Please let me know if you want something else added to this section. Does Nolah Mattress Off-gas? Just like any other brand new mattress, the Nolah mattress will also off-gas. However, it will dissipate within a day or two. So it is best to plan to put it in a spare bedroom for a night or two with a window or two open. This goes for all mattresses in my opinion. Does Nolah Mattress Sleep Hot? Nolah mattresses feature a breathable cover that encourages air circulation. The AirFoam is designed to prevent the trapping of heat to ensure hot sleepers can enjoy a comfortable night's sleep. I haven't found much information available online so I am conducting more extensive research and will post the information once the research and analysis is complete Do You Require a Box Spring with a Nolah mattress? The three models can all be placed on a platform foundation or base with gaps between the slats less than 4" to comply with the warranty requirements. I verified with a Customer Service Representative and any bed frame should work as long as the gaps between slats are not more than 4". Here is the basic answer-The Nolah mattress can be used with almost any bed frame or foundation.Most of our customers just continue to use their current foundation with their new Nolah mattress. If your bed foundation is slated, please ensure that the slats are not more than 4" apart.Any box spring, platform, adjustable base, hardwood floor, or carpet will all work great for your Nolah mattress.Nolah Customer Service via Live Chat Nolah Customer Service Live Chat Screenshot My concern about the metal wire grid type of platform foundation is that the pictures on the website only shows wood bases with wood slats. So you might want to bookmark this page (for the screenshot of the live chat) if you have a metal grid platform foundation and have problems with a warranty claim in the future.
