Not worthy of any star. Ordered 2 mattresses for my daughters. Was scheduled a delivery on a Monday between 9.30am & 11.30am. Got a call to say delivery would be delayed to later that afternoon. 3pm came. Nothing. 5pm came. Nothing. Called the delivery company DX who chased up the driver who said we would be assured delivery by 6pm. 6pm came.. no delivery. Managed to contact DX again just before they all buggered off home for the day and assured us again that the mattresses would arrived before 8pm! Luckily we had the drivers number due to previous communication- I called around 6pm and he told me he would make his delivery at 6.30 as he was at the Bristol depot...bare in mind I live 100miles from bristol so i could only assume his delivery van was a magic carpet! 9pm comes and still no delivery and we could not contact the driver. All of a sudden I get an unprofessional text to say the delivery will be with us between 7 and 9am the next day. Our daughters had no beds for the night. Great. Next morning comes...no delivery again! Get through to DX who have no idea where these mattresses had gone. Bensons had no clue either?! Eventually after queuing and waiting to get through to DX and bensons, delivery was scheduled for the following Monday. Leaving my children without mattresses for a further week. Monday comes, surprisingly at the scheduled time slot,the mattresses were thrown through the door with no communication from the delivery men but were very swiftly thrown back at them when one of the mattresses had oil stains and the plastic wrapping was ripped. Seeing as we ordered 2 mattresses I wasn't accepting just one leaving one of my children yet again without a bed. Contact DX again as they seem to be on speed dial by this point who then told us to contact bensons. Position 74 in the que, eventually get through who tell us they need to reschedule delivery to the 18th of July! Because apparently mattresses are made to order...LOL. An absolute shambles seeing as the first order was placed in early May! Don't waste your money using Bensons, I think I've spent more on my phone bill that I did on the mattresses! As for DX I will make sure any company I order from do not use them. This review is being written before my next scheduled delivery- at this rate there is more chance of Jesus resurrecting again!

Worst company I have ever dealt with. To start with I was told 2 days before my order was due that it hadn’t left Malaysia and would be at least 8 weeks. I next got a notification weeks later they had cancelled my order. After months of terrible customer service and multiple apologies, it only got worse. Delivery arrived with a missing part (box A to E and somehow someone managed to mess this up after multiple problems prior). Missing part then was scheduled for delivery and they managed to get the address wrong. Eventually, the came with the missing part and expected an exchange and had to explain that there was no part to be returned. One of the mattress had a fault which Bensons tried their very best to take no accountability for. A independent surveyor had to come out and deemed it as a manufacturing fault. I was then offered less than 70% of the cost of the mattress as credit. After months (yes, MONTHS) of back and forth, the replacement mattress was sent out for delivery. 2 men rushed in, dented a wall and smashed a lamp. Now Bensons won’t even respond. Please, save yourself the stress and avoid these criminals

I have a good mind to contact rip off Britain. Ordered a medium mattress and 6 weeks later they delivered a hard mattress. After hours getting through to their pathetic help line I managed to get a swop for a soft mattress. Had to pay 270 pounds. The delivery date was a month later. The day came and they phoned to say the mattress had not been loaded on the van and the only next delivery date was a month later which is today 12th July. Just had a phone call to say they had not loaded the mattress on the van. AGAIN??? Never again. I will not recommend this company to anyone. Disgusting service.

I bought 5 wardrobes costing over 3.5k, initially the sales representative at the store got the wrong colour. I noticed and pointed out which delayed the delivery. Probuild there contractor for home delivery came, I was told can not build the wardrobes as the floor is not level. Probuild built one of the 5 wardrobes? If the floor is not level why build 1? I was told to build a 2" x 2" plinth, which I did costing me further £300. Today Probuild has come and built the wardrobes and did not finish of the side and top frame of the wardrobe because the plinth is to big. I told them that I was advised by a member of the team to build a 2 x 2 plinth. Very rude guy. Spoke to customer service team was told can't do any thing. Came in store un Huddersfield and was told not our problem very rude and unhelpful staff. Never buy anything from them. Happy to take your money but customer service is zero. Untrained and unprofessional staff Avoid at all cost.

AVOID!!!!! Ordered the Cameo sofa bed at the start of April, 3 failed delivery slots over nearly 3 months - all notified by email on the day, no phone call - and texts were sent previously to say item would be delivered. If you ring customer services it takes forever to get through and they are rude and unhelpful. Probably hiding the fact they have no idea what’s going on or when you will get your furniture. I’ve been hung up on, refused information despite sending email in to say all the correspondence to go through me, as it was when they’ve emailed me, text me and rung me for payment. It should not be that hard to order a sofa bed. Apparently it’s on a container that hasn’t come in yet. From where, who knows! Really really bad customer service and a waste of our time and energy chasing it up. Do yourself a favour before ordering and read the reviews. I wish I had. When they cancel your delivery short notice, which they will… it says they will be in touch within 24hours. That’s a lie too. I shall never set foot in a Bensons for beds store ever again, and shall advise anyone not to put themselves through the agro and go elsewhere. Wouldn’t be surprised if administration is on the cards the way they’re treating customers. Would be a minus star review if I could!

If I could give this a minus figure I would! Placed an order during a promotion at the end of April 2022 - it was supposed to be delivered 1st June 2022 but there was “a flood at the warehouse” and it was damaged. I was initially understanding as these things happen, but the story kept changing. I was initially offered an alternative date for part but not all of the order, but I couldn’t be in that day due to work commitments (NHS) so it was rearranged for early July. Also, I wanted the whole order at the same time not to be sleeping on a mattress for the rest to be delivered later! Yet again the order was cancelled at short notice via email. This time the story was that a different part of the order had been damaged by the flood (the part of the order they had originally tried to deliver in June - so the story didn’t add up). It was very difficult to speak to customer services - very long queue of people and I was hung up on twice (which would be justified if I had been rude as that’s unacceptable regardless) but I wasn’t rude. There was also the option of a “call back service” - I’m still waiting for that! I then eventually had an email saying “as per my request” there was yet another new date for delivery for almost a month later. That was not what I had asked at all - I had asked for the item to be delivered while I was off work the following week. I have seen multiple poor reviews of Bensons and on their advice I asked for a full refund which I am currently awaiting. I have used Bensons for Beds in the past and back then the service was good. But I don’t believe I would ever have received the bed as ordered, there would have just been excuse after excuse. From what I hear those who do receive their goods do not rate their quality. Avoid!!!! I would not be surprised to hear they go bankrupt and while I would feel sorry for the staff who are genuinely trying to do their best I would have little sympathy with the people further up the food chain who are acting like con men. If you ever want to see your order don’t buy from Bensons for Beds

Sold me faulty bed and mattress. Denial denial denial. They did not honour their guarantee. The inspector said that sagging is normal. If I wanted to sleep in a hammock I would have bought one. Threw the mattress away on municipal dump and screwed plywood sheeting to base which was made from corrugated cardboard. Worst £1000 wasted.

Waited 6 months for delivery of two chests of drawers. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait: Quality very poor for what we paid. Also found their communication was very poor and contacting then was a nightmare.

Obsoletely shocking customer service. They do not respond to email nor do they answer the telephone. You get placed in a queue behind 91, 84 or 72 other complaints off customers. We have an issue with a mattress, due to the sales rep filling out the paperwork incorrectly we are are unable to obtain a replacement mattress they say we need a base headboard and mattress as it was a set. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. each item was chosen individually to co-ordinate our décor and requirements. AVOID AT ALL COST

I was 50/50 going to buy from Dreams or Bensons. Unfortunately for me, I opted for Bensons as in-store I had chosen a firm mattress, which felt perfect at the time. I also purchased a stain guard in case it got stained (as they do). Turned up ok and was great until about 6 months later when it started going badly out of shape. It was a twist not flip design so weight goes in middle as expected. I am around 90kgs. The bed has a warranty of 5 years. So after this happened I went into store who said call the aftersales team. I did when I said the issue they said a different number you need to call? It wasn't it was correct they couldn't be bothered. So went back into the store and they emailed HQ with no reply. So again I called and got given an email to send in pictures, which surprise surprise they said 'is within tolerance'. This dip with no weight on they deemed fine via a photo. Also adding that because of the stain (yes I did purchase the warranty), it was void anyway! Seriously, just AVOID this shop 100%. The aftersales is so bad. I am now looking to claim against these jokers. It is not a shop it is a con merchant. Please go elsewhere, they do not deserve your hard earned!

THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE RIPOFF. BOUGHT A SIMBA HYBRID MATTRESS FROM THEM FOR OVER £600 LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER IT HAS A DENT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE MIDDLE (I ONLY WEIGH 11 STONE) SO CAN ONLY SLEEP ON EITHER EDGE OF THE MATTRESS NOW. SENT THEM PHOTOS AND EVERYTHING THEY ASKED FOR AND NEVER GOT ANY REPLIES AT ALL THEY JUST KEPT SAYING WE NEED THIS SPECIFIC INFO, EVERYTIME I SENT IT NOTHING CAME BACK WHEN CHASED IT UP EXACTLY THE SAME REPLY WE NEED SPECIFIC INFO I HAD TO GO INTO THE SHOP TWICE TO KICK OFF AND ASK THEM TO SEND IT. EVENTUALLY, THEY GOT BACK WITH A FORGET IT MESSAGE. I'VE EVEN GONE TO THE HOME & FURNITURE OMBUDSMAN AND SIMILAR THINGS THERE I HAVE HAD TO CHASE THEM UP CANT EVER GET THROUGH OVER THE PHONE AND THEY HAVE SAID FORGET IT. IF I COULD UPLOAD A PHOTO OF THE MATTRESS IAM CERTAIN ANYONE WHO READS THIS WOULD SAY HOW CAN SOMEONE SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT AND FOR OVER £600.... THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BENSONS I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED MY APPOINTMENT WITH CITIZENS ADVICE AND WILL BE SENDING ALL THE DETAILS TO THE SOLICITORS THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO THROUGH MY WHICH SUBSCRIPTION I WILL ALSO BE REPEATING THIS MESSAGE ON EVERY REVIEW SITE I CAN FIND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT A RIP OFF COMPANY YOU ARE.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE - still waiting for the bed that we ordered in early APRIL!! The delivery date was pushed back twice, once for stock levels and then once because they "forgot to put it in the van" cannot be more disappointed / astonished at the service. Diverted to call in to speak to someone and are placed as "caller no.99 in the queue" - probably because every other customer they have is complaining!! Absolute shambles.
