Here's a rephrased version of your conclusion:
"As a new customer, I sought to engage with a reputable business known for exceptional quality and reliability in furniture and bedding. Unfortunately, my experience turned nightmarish, causing significant emotional distress due to receiving substandard products. The irony was intensified when the mattresses I purchased were infested with bedbugs, as evidenced by photographs. This situation has left me unable to comfortably use my own bed."

Case Rating: *
You can potentially file two separate claims. One is a civil lawsuit for damages, and the other is a claim under the store's protection plan. Each claim has different procedures and purposes. It might be beneficial to pursue both, but check the terms of the protection plan.
