Do not spend your money here, the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. Call center staff who do not care a single bit at the fact your child has no bed to sleep in. Still waiting on a Refund a month and a half after I told them I wanted to return the product. No communication whatsoever. No apologies for the fact they sold me a bed that has a huge warning on the box and a sticker on the bed saying not suitable for under 4 year olds, and this was not stated anywhere on the website. One customer service girl said "it's not a warning, it's more of an advisory statement, like when you buy something thats best before, you can still eat it after the date". Erm no, when it arrived we can see that there is a massive risk to a smaller child due to a large gap down the side and some other dangerous issues. It clearly states warning. Im not going to put my 2 year olds life at risk of suffocating in her sleep thank you. Every person we spoke to was arrogant and lacking knowledge as they were all saying different things. We are absolutely shocked that such a well known company can have such awfull customer service!

We were missold the bed despite our stated requirements. The cocky salesman managed to convince me that black was white. The delivery men knocked down our wall with the van and tramped mud up our pale stair carpet. Never did get resoution on that. Four years later, both of us are in agony. The mattress has unwarranted dips which Benson's claim are allowed to be 60mm. Their tame inspector from Homeserve completely misquoted the issues in his report and completely ignored the fact that the stitching was also coming apart underneath. Customer service rating is zero, the option below doesn't work for that.

Over priced for sub quality. Customer service is non existent. They used every excuse in the book. They are downright liars.

Great service in store but dreadful after service. States 5 year guarantee BUT you have have anything that’s considered faulty by a third party who the customer has to pay for. More than often they say there’s no fault blaming it on silly things like it’s because customer sits on the edge of the bed. The quality of products is poor, delivery is even worse. Once they have your money they make it extremely difficult for you if you’re not happy. STAY CLEAR OF BENSONS 4 BEDS!!!!!!

Too much to say in one review but bad customer service!! Terrible mattess and I've been left with my complaint NOT resolved. The worst company I've ever had to deal with and they have caused me so much upset. Over £2000 for a bed with a mattress that's absolutely shocking!!!

bought king size bed with a 10yr guarantee, now they say I need an inspector to check mattress has 2 trenches where we sleep but they must be approved by Bensons but we gave to pay. No way can they tell me who to spend my money with. Reading reports I may as well throw mattress on the dump as Bensons Customer Care is abysmal.

Brought a premium mattress from Bensons with a 5 year warranty, after 2.5 years the springs collapsed and I had two pay for two mattress inspections as bensons disputed the first one. The mattress was found to be faulty and two bensons 3 months to replace even with my wife heavily pregnant. Bensons have still not reimbursed me for the mattress inspections. This has been so far a 9 month process that’s still ongoing. Staff are constantly rude on their customer service line , pretending to be experts in consumer law and hang up on you. They ignore emails, never responded to a single email from me. I have never had such a hard time with a company in my life. Avoid , avoid , avoid !!!

Ordering the bed no problems. It all went wrong on the day of delivery. Delivery was 2hrs later than predicted by using they tracking app. Bed finally arrives, boxes and mattress thrown into room. When we open all the boxes there was no instructions on how to assemble the bed, i went online to download the information but website said not available. I then rung the shop where we ordered the bed from and finally after 4hrs and many phone calls they finally emailed me the information needed, and that was because i refused to hang up until i got the email i needed.

Worst purchase experience ever Bought two king size mattresses and a bunk bed with trundle (and three respective mattresses) in May. Expected delivery 6 to 8 weeks, which worked for me. One mattress was delievered relatively promptly (from an external supplier, as I understand). The rest was scheduled to be delivered on 14 July. On that day no delivery was made and I called customer services. Spent a long time waiting to eventually talk to an assistant who didn't seem to care and who told me I wasn't going to receive my furniture because one (more?) of the items hadn't reached their warehouse. They couldn't split the delivery of my order nor could they give me an expected delivery date. From that day onwards it's been a saga - I've written numerous emails (they haven't replied) and tried Twitter at some point. They seem to reply there, but the answers are vague, unhelpful and often inaccurate. The social media team say they can't sort your problem if you've ordered online (!!!!). I was getting distressed: no furniture, and more than 2K in their hands with no idea of when (if) I was ever going to get my furniture or my money back. At the end ofJuly I sent an email to cancel the item that I believed to be the outstanding one - no reply as expected. Until someone on Twitter suggested emailing the CEO. I did that yesterday, acompanying an email requesting the cancellation of all my order. In a few hours I had the cancellation sorted and my refund processed. Pathetic. It's been very stressful and I do not recommend any business with them. Ever.

This company is a joke, waited 6mths for a bed to be delivered, cost over £1500, only recieved a headboard and matterss "NO BASE" called customter service and a complete joke, Totally unprofessional, had to wait on the line for over 40 mins. I am not surprised there are so busy. tried calling the shop that I bought it from and just didnt care. you get better service from Ebay sellers. Never buy again from here.

Terrible company, terrible customer service. They don’t tell you about the 2 month wait for the bed until after you’ve paid. I had called them to change the delivery date then specifically took leave on this date so I could be home. They ended up changing the date without notice. Just to call them to clarify took ages because they were not putting me through to anyone to speak to and when i finally was able to talk to someone, they (conveniently for them) said they didn’t record my last phone call with them to change the date (despite the automated message saying the call was being recorded) so can’t confirm if what I am saying is right. I would not recommend anyone buy from here and will stay far away from this company in the future

Terrible service and mattresses that fail after 4 months and the worst customer service ever. They dont care once they grab your money. Dont purchase from bensons/dreams. Go to a reputable local mattress supplier.

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole! Don't waste your time or money. If I could give a 0 star rating I would.. Placed an order for a child's bed on 17th May 2020. Website said, up to 28 working days delivery. With the whole situation I was prepared to wait a little longer. Fast forward 2 months, I have a delivery date of 29th July 2020. A week before, they cancel and reschedule for 10th August. 10th August comes, doesn't arrive. I call them and get told it's rescheduled for 21st September!! 4.5 months for a bed? They also accuse their customers of being liars and say they never gave delivery dates but I've got emails AND text messages that state otherwise. Never buy from them! They were due to go in to liquidation... Probably the best option for all with their disgusting customer service!

We ordered a wardrobe in February it was cancelled by them due to covid 19 we received delivery on the 4th of august but they are refusing collection they said if it was over the phone or online order they would do a refund cause it was in the shop they won’t refund us our money they sent the wrong colour so that should be a reason for a refund wouldn’t recommend this company and we won’t be going back

The worst company I have ever dealt with... I ordered a wardrobe which would take 6 weeks delivery and had a confirmation delivery date by email and telephone 2 days prior to delivery.. I took a day off work and booked a joiner to install the wardrobe and literally at 7.30 pm the evening before delivery the company left a voicemail on my home telephone line stating that they would not be delivering and would be in touch when they could deliver... I rang the number the next morning and spoke to I very rude women who said basically they couldn't help it! NEVER have I dealt with such an unprofessional company and shocking customer services..

Bought a mattress after explaining I had arthritis in the hips -was recommended to buy a hard one NoCRM 4 , after contless nights of no sleep , I eventually got them to agree an exchange under their sleep guarantee process - after having to prove I was registered disabled - the new mattress was scheduled for delivery on 17/04/2020 - that never happened - they contacted me on 22 june to say delivery would be on 2 july between 07hrs & 13.oo hrs , they phoned me at 08.00hrs that day to say no delivery as they "could not find my mattress " - after sending 40 + emails , they have told me " they have no idea " when my mattress will even be manufactured let alone delivered . S , they are sitting on £1074 of my money whilst the mattress is propped against the wall of my bedroom whilst I sleep on an airbed !!! Unbelievable !! It is now 118 days since original delivery date & 42 days since the rescheduled date - they will not refund my money - nor can they give me "any idea" when the mattress will be available , their words - not mine . Stay the hell away from these shysters - they are abysmal - avoid like a plague . Harry Hume northampton NN4 0TJ

Bought a £4000 bed from Benson for beds, after 4 months the slates keep popping out of there plastic joint making the mattress dip, told wrong size slates are to blame but must pay £48 for an independent inspector to assess the situation first, after asking why do we have to pay for an inspector to see your faulty and incorrect sent product, was told thats the law!! Absolute joke, recommend buying else where.
