We found a good range of beds in store and received excellent customer service with the manager being both friendly and informative. The bed frame we bought looks fab and the mattress feels great. The reason we decided on this particular mattress was because it won the Which magazine award in December. Both items were delivered on time and in perfect condition. We put the frame together in about an hour and it was pretty straight forward. Only had the bed and frame for about a week now and my teenage son loves it.

Enfield store sales team are amazing and have knowledge of all of their beds, however, the customer service department seem to just fob you off and don't really know what is going on. Faulty super king mattress arrived, was told to put it outside, they were going to collect so cancelled the collection as could not do without a bed, then told 4 - 6 week wait, they tried to send someone to collect the mattress a week later... NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON AND WHEN THE REPLACEMENT MATTRESS WILL ARRIVE

we ordered a bed which was delivered on time and we looked it over everything seemed ok at the time . Just lately we have noticed a sag in the mattress so we informed the shop who sent out an independent inspector to look at the bed. He found no fault with the bed but informed us that the bed was a SOFT mattress and we had ordered a medium. We informed the shop who said phone head office who then spoke to the supplier who then said as the amount of time that had lapsed they were not interested in ou complaint. I will not buy another bed from Bensons for beds

Purchased bed on Sunday, told to go back next day to sort finances, not ideal. paid £10 for pm delivery on the Thursday, took afternoon off work. No delivery, no proper explanation or apology from shop. Waited another week for delivery. Customer services suppose to call back, but haven't bother so far.......

Our £1400.00 bed and mattress was thrown off the van on to the sodden roadside. The delivery persons damaged the walls in our house, the bed was filthy, damaged and ripped. We had to take the day of work to try and resolve the issue. We were offered £50 Benson for Beds vouchers and a 4 week wait for a replacement. Absolutely shocking way to treat customers we are now seeking a resolution through our credit card company. Disgusting.

Whilst the choice of beds was pretty basic, we did find one adequate for a guest room. Customer service however was simply appalling. The bed was delivered to the house correctly on the day allocated, but they just left it in the room sealed in polythene and cardboard. A complete nightmare to get out on ones own -nearly had a hernia lifting it all on my own. Bedhead was supposed to be delivered a week later, but was delivered to the store 15 miles away for us to collect, Can't recommend Bensons and would buy elsewhere next time and recommend everyone else to do the same - A VERY UNHELPFUL COMPANY.

Everything went wrong with this Company. Late delivery, followed by no delivery, (the bed had been taken of the van because "somebody read the notes wrong!". )Delivery eventually came in 3 separate lots, for which I had to take 3 days off work. Rude Customer Services. Ordered bed assembly as my husband is disabled and was told it was £15. The guy who came to assemble the bed - who was actually the Manager of the store demanded £40 in cash. When I explained I did not have £40 as I was told it was £15 he refused to leave until I had taken the money out of my husbands wallet! I felt very very venerable as he was in my house at 6.30 at night with only my husband with Alzheimers with me. I have put a complaint in writing to their Customer Services and have been told the bed assembly was not part of the contract and they cannot take any action. This company is disgusting, I am taking them to the Furniture Ombudsman and will never under any circumstance buy from them again.

Dreadful customer service! Motor broke on bed specifically bought for someone who is very disabled. Kept promising to be fixed and 9 days later still waiting. They were at the mercy of the supplier of the new motor. Shambles.

Ordered a bed and mattress set from them it wasn't that expensive around £700.00 , 10 months later the mattress has sagged and is uncomfortable, their engineer came out and said it was normal wear and tear and there is nothing wrong with it customer service have basically gave me the finger too.... all in all great experience when you buy but you are on your own oh and the 5 year guarantee they put on the mattress is about as much use as a nuns t**s .... AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Ordered Bedroom furniture, that was delivered after 8 weeks, it came with faulty drawers, scratches on mirrored doors and chipped doors and missing rails. Have been trying to contact customer service for 48 hrs and not been able to speak to them. Local Store manager in Hedge End is highly unhelpful and rude and disconnected my call.

Really bad customer service at all points after our payment was made. Unfortunately we ordered the wrong size mattress - our mistake. However, we did not open the mattress and called them the same day to ask if we could swap for a larger and more expensive version. We were told there is a 20% fee, as they would not be able to sell the mattress "as new". Having worked in retail where we had similar policies - it is obvious that a completely unopened item can be sold as new, especially as it was literally 2 hours from delivery to phone call. I have been hung up on, live chat left and spoken to like they would be doing me a favour by charging me the 20% on top of the extra purchase cost. And about 3 hours on hold and in silly phone calls where everyone says "they would help if they could" - this clearly is not the case. I am appalled that in this day and age, such archaic policies exist and that customer service is not a priority. And if I had purchased it without seeing an example first or online, I would get the 14 days distance selling rule to send back. So they would take it then? Bizarre and terrible. I would never use them again, and would suggest that they employ customer service team members that don't patronise customers and talk to them like they are idiots. Edit: I have purchased a new mattress from a different company as would rather spend more money than acquiesce to their "favour"

We had a specific need to address and the lady who helped us met all our needs and made the process of purchasing the sofa bed very easy. The price was reasonable too.

Ortho mattress £350, delivered with sagging all along centre of mattress. I was advised the filling takes time to settle and it needs turning every two weeks. After four weeks it is worse. I cannot sleep on the soft saggy mattress as it is nothing like the firm mattress we ordered from the store. Customer Service asked for photos of it, which we did, they said they could see the base was not from Bensons for Beds and therefore it is our fault not theirs, if the space between the wooden slats is more than 7 cm then it is definitely our fault! Nobody had said anything about this when I bought it from the store, despite my telling them I had a wooden bed frame and the last mattress was good on it for ten year. They think it is a comfort issue not a fault with the mattress and an independent inspector will be calling soon to verify this. Customer Services were extremely rude and unhelpful. We shall see what the technician from their independent company says. I can see many other customers have had this same problem with their reject mattresses, is it a scam?

Had a faulty mattress replaced three years ago, was upgraded due to numerous issues with the previous mattress and failed delivery/service. Replacement mattress has developed a fault where the side wall has collapsed after 3 years. Numerous texts, calls and messages later they have agreed has fault but are trying to deduct the upgrade and provide me with the price of the original mattress which was 8 years old (with a 10 year guarantee) when replaced 3 years ago. Impossible to deal with, I am issuing a court summons as had enough with this kind of service. Don't use them!!

I was charged £45.00 for a mattress delivery for which I paid the driver (Courier) on delivery after I bought in store even though Benson for beds website advertises FREE DELIVERY on everything, total misrepresentation.

Fault with mattress. Supplied us with wrong e-mail address to send report to. Then claimed report was not good enough and stated the drivers had not reported any fault. The fault had been packaged over so the drivers would not have seen it. This has now gone on for over a month without them fixing it. Customer Service is shocking.
