A retailer delivered a mattress to me today that doesn't meet the manufacturer specifications nor the retailer's website dimensions of 54".  The Simmons website (as well as most others) state that a full mattress is 53" wide.  It quotes the industry as stating the manufacturing tolerances can be 1/2".  The bed they delivered to me is 51".  How can I fight this?

Return it as being defective.  If they refuse, stop payment.  Ultimately, pursue a legal remedy.
