One star because it doesn't have an alarm bell! Dealing with Bensons for Beds has been an absolute farce from the beginning. Over 3 months on from the original order, we've been told they had to cancel one delivery because it was stuck in the Suez Canal, then over month later it had to be cancelled again because it was in lockdown in Malaysia and it would be over six months before they would even try to arrange another delivery. So after hours speaking to a number of call handlers, trying to negotiate the maze of call options and a visit to a store and raising another order for a bed more than twice the price. We actually had a delivery van turn up. Unfortunately what did arrive was battered and badly damaged and even the delivery driver advised us to refuse the delivery. Since then we've spent another few hours on the phone, trying to speak to someone to get it sorted I asked for a Manager escalation, to which I was told it would take 24 hours. 24 hours later, still no call, spoken to two call handlers and have now been told "the manager is in a meeting" and I would receive a call. They obviously couldn't care less about their Customers and stress they cause (ironic since their chosen charity is mind and I work for the NHS in a Mental Health Trust). I keep being asked, "well, do you want to cancel the order?". By the experience I will have to, after nearly 4 months of lies and broken promises. Hopefully the next company we deal with will be able to supply a bed in less that 6 months. Disgusting service and I advise not to even consider using this "Bed" company.

Be VERY careful about the alleged 5 year guarantee. We bought a bed frame and headboard on the understanding that it was covered by the 5 year warranty. At no time were we told anything different and the paperwork makes no mention of the fact that they will only cover a be and mattress bought together for 5 years. We paid more than double what we could have to get a good quality bed frame but it has failed after 2 years. We phones customer services to clarify the terms of the 5 year guarantee and they were very rude and could not get us off the phone fast enough. Needless to say we will not be using this company again as the quality of their products does not match the prices that they charge or the customer service that is offered.

Went to the Huntingdon branch the man there was terrible. Poor customer service. I wanted to but the mattress but couldn’t agree on delivery. He was disinterested and unhelpful

Our bed frame and headboard arrived this morning - WITH NO MATTRESS. After chasing all day after we were meant to have a ‘phone call within the hour’ they still were unable to locate the mattress. Eventually, they have found the mattress but can’t deliver this for another WEEK???? Because they will be in the area in a week. Absolutely not acceptable. I have never experienced such incompetence. They have failed at packing a van properly and then failed at managing their own awful service properly. The fact we have now got a useless bed frame taking up an extremely large space in our house. Extremely poor customer service and not even able to speak to a manager today.

Disgraceful company. Awful customer service that are clearly disinterested in helping. Useless delivery staff that will either damage goods or simply not bother arriving at the correct destination. I have wasted multiple days annual leave to receive beds that have never arrived, with no explanation, no calls from drivers and no apology. Their stores and online services apparently offer different deals, so don't expect them to honour deals in store you have seen online. If you contact them about this they will suggest that you can cancel the order, but more about that below. Their contracts are designed to lock you in (cancellation is charged at 20% of the cost of the order). Avoid and be very, VERY careful. Crooks.

Beware Bensons old bed collection arrangement....bought there because they arrange old bed removal...at a price.....delivery guys turn up and say can't take your divans because they have metal in them!!!so we were left with two old divans to sort out.....apparently this happens a lot...old beds with electrics etc....BEWARE THE SALES PEOPLE.....CHECK THEY CAN TAKE YOUR BEDS..

We purchased a mattress which was delivered last October 2020 for our spare single bed. It was an expensive mattress a firm support one. This mattress has hardly been slept in only when my wife has been sick have I slept in it and I am not 9stone. Last month we noticed that there was a dip in the middle of the mattress. We contacted them to be told we needed to rotate the mattress for a month. We have done this and for the past month no-one has slept in this bed. We today have contacted them to be told we needed to send photos of the full mattress together with photos of the dip etc., We have done all this only to be told that the dip is in line with the manufacturers limit of 3/4cm which happens to a mattress within the first year. Hardly been slept in - a firm mattress - expensive one at that! Good job there wasn't a heavyweight in there is all we can say. Where are they coming from????? Needless to say will never deal with them again and never recommend them to anyone either.

Bensons for beds are to be avoided at all cost. The delivery text messages are worthless and not to be believed. If you receive a message to say “ you 11th in the queue and the van is in Maidenhead” it really means you are not going to receive your delivery for another month.......... I AM STILL WAITING ............

We bought an expensive king size mattress nearly four years ago and it very quickly started sagging at the sides, even although we turned it constantly. We have not been sleeping well, and it eventually gave me sciatica, and we have had to invest in a new mattress....but NOT from Benson's!!!!

If I could leave a Zero rating I would. Cannot believe the lack of customer service provided by Bensons for Beds. Ordered a mattress to find out on the delivery day it hadn't been loaded and only found this out because I called. No-one had the decency to let me know! Replacement came and it's defective. Had it a week with numerous emails but again, no-one wants to talk or take responsibility. Damn disgrace of a company! Now holding again to try and resolve this once and for all. My advice, DO NOT BUY FROM BENSONS FOR BEDS as they have no concern for their customers. Take the money quick enough though! Bloody Cowboys.

Avoid Bensons for Beds, they are a company of deceitful liars and will anything they can to pass the buck to the companies they use for maintenance etc, they lied in store about what they sell, and they pretend to care, then they basically ignore you. Awful company, and truly one I regret ever using.

Bought a divan , mattress and headboard that supposedly came with a 5 year warranty . When I went to claim on the divan I was told it wasn’t under warranty as 12 months had passed and it had been bought separately even though I had 2 invoices and order numbers to show it had been bought and paid for at the same time . Why it was on 2 invoices I’m not sure but it was all bought as a complete package . After 5 or 6 back and forth emails I eventually got one acknowledging it was under warranty but I would have to pay for an engineer to inspect it. When I replied asking why I was paying when it’s under warranty I received another email saying that I wasn’t under warranty . I just gave up at that point . I’ll get a bed elsewhere

I have wasted two days waiting for my delivery from the DX courier they use. They only deliver Mon-Fri 9-5 which means we have wasted two days off work. Received one text in total from courier to track but it gives very little info other than out for delivery. Checked on Benson's website and it says my order has been delivered. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Benson's customer services only open Mon-Fri 9-5. Not very convenient if you are at work all week.

Delivered the wrong size mattress that doesn't fit my son's bed. 5 phone calls later and we are none the wiser when the mattress we ordered will be delivered. Meanwhile son has to sleep on the floor. Avoid buying from Bensons. Terrible customer service! 4 days in and we are still waiting!!

Purchased a latex authopedic mattress from bensons, within about 4 months it was completely uneven and full of bumps, after a lot of discussion with bensons they excepted the mattress was faulty and would replace it, I explained I did not want the same mattress and even offered to pay the difference on another mattress, bensons refused to entertain this and insist I have the same mattress, I have found the whole experience very poor and would never use bensons again, very poor customer service, quiet happy to take your money but refuse point blank to help
