Wow, sorry to hear about your troubles, as consumers we always get kinda screwed with the whole "contact the retailer, or contact the manufacturer" game. It all depends on what type of guarantee the retailer promised, try to find any literature about the retailer that expresses their guarantee on what they sell you, any good retailer should have taken the mattress back, but if they don't guarantee such service you shouldn't expect it. C&C should be able to get compensation from Sealy, where you can't.At the end of the day The Better Business Bureau may also be able to help you with options on how you can fight this.
God Speed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
