Edge foam collapse on Stearns and Foster pillowtop

We recently bought a Stearns and Foster pillowtop mattress from an outlet store, we got what we considered was a fantastic deal. Here's the problem, on one side, the foam edge support seems to collapse when anyone sits on that edge, the opposite edge is nice and firm and retains it shape and support, however on the other side when someone sits on the edge or even just pushes on the edge, it just goes all the way down with very little effort or force, so when someone actually sits on it, you can nearly feel it go all the way down.

 

Because it was an outlet purchase, it is AS-IS, so no returns, exchange or warranty. With the exception of the edge support collapse - it seems fine (and extremely comfortable).  So the question is: Is there a solution to this??????

 

If more information is needed, just let me know. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I was told there would be no warranty because it was purchased from an outlet store. the tag says it was made july 2011, so the mattress is only a few months old. We've only had it a few weeks, and over all we are very happy with it. With the exception of the side edge collapse on my side. Its not a huge problem, but it is one I'd like to get resolved. I tried to register it on S&F web site, but its asking me for a number that I can't seem to locate on the mattress label... I have the serial number and a bunch of other stuff, but the USA web site for S&F is a little vague as to where to find this specific number, or I'm missing the section it wants the number from.... I'm not sure.

Oh and the outlet store is a S&F retailer, it was just purchased from there outlet store... but the chain is a legit S&F dealer... just the outlet division of their chain.

If you already agreed to buy the bed "As is" with no returns or warranty of any kind (is that written somewhere on your sales slip?) then I doubt S&F will do anything for you. And yes, that number requested is not easy to find, as I realized when attempting to register my bed before I sent it back.
