DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !!!! Just had a call from the delivery team at 7 am this morning to say our divan base is on the lorry but the mattress is out of stock, absolutely fuming we have told them to cancel the whole order as this is the second delivery date we had, how can you deliver only part of the order you have had nearly 4 months to get this right. Now we have to drag a kingsize bed from the garden back up into the bedroom not happy at all, this company should not be trading if they can't deliver the goods and we will have to spend ages on the phone to get a refund now.

Terrible company. Complaint going on nearly 6 months and they will not reply or answer my complaints. Claim the bed frame they had me wait 3 months for is not faulty when it doesnt support a king sized mattress. Worst company and huge amount of stress. I will be taking them to court.

Appalling service and extremely poor communication. Faulty mattress agreed by the Co. Purchased a replacement from them only for that mattress to also be faulty. It had an ottoman base in two parts and the wrong and damaged base was delivered once and then when replacing that one a further damaged one was delivered. This one was wet, the packaging torn and the cardboard protection absolutely sodden. Organising collection very difficult and time consuming, spent over 9 hours on the phone in total, mostly on hold. The company's stated comms' methods for deliveries are not followed. Customer Service does not always call you back and when you speak to an adviser everything has to be repeated and it appears that the internal communication is also terrible

I rate Benson's for beds not even one star! Customer service is worse than useless, completely unable to contact by phone and emails which bounce back to me. Don't be taken in by 40 night trial, after 20 nights I requested an exchange only to be told it was too soon and wait until full trial period was up. Since then I've spent hours on phoning without success, emails bouncing back, being told unless I could send photos of mattress they couldn't help me. My tablet won't allow me to use camera after SD card was corrupted so had visiting builder to take photos but Benson's didn't get them. Exchange should have taken place on 13/6/22 at 12.30 but 12.15 delivery van rang to say my mattress wasn't on van so kept the one I had. Rang Benson shop only to be told they couldn't get one until 27/5/22! Finally it did arrive but guess what?they wouldn't take the previous one, so despite numerous complaints, emails to Benson shop and suggestions of likely pick up on a certain, in a few days, as soon as possible..... I still have the mattress standing upright in my conservatory. I've told them it's going outside today regardless of the weather, still not heard from them. So frustrating and time wasting, no care for customers once they've got our money. Bed and mattress delivered on March 10th, twenty nights trial and it's still in my possession unfortunately. I offered to get charity to collect but heard nothing so in ten minutes it's going outside in the garden where the foxes, badger and cats with have fun on it! Don't touch Benson's for beds with even a barge pole, worst company ever.

Ordered new mattress March 20th. Got a delivery date for 27th April. Had text messages confirming order the weed and one day before. Then on the day nothing happened and I had to phone to see what was happening with it. They said it’s not in stock! Unbelievable! They then said 31st May. The day came, same thing confirmation day before. Phoned in the morning. ‘No sorry. Not in stock’ . Then took 1 hour 35minutes to get through to customer service for a refund. They convinced me to give it another go. Now waiting for June 20th. Definitely will be requesting a refund when it doesn’t happen. Pretty sure it won’t. It seems to be there policy to leave it till the last minute to disappoint people. Just mean! I’ve got a bad back and I need my new mattress. Big companies think there so big they can treat people very poorly. They should be better regulated and fined with as many bad reviews as bensons for beds have got. It is so diapointing.?just a mean trick to play

Divan bed and mattress ordered way back in February, due to delivery 4 April. No delivery arrived. Rang customer services who responded "your order seems to have disappeared". Re-booked for 11 May which was the first available slot. Divan bed arrived, but mattress didn't. Called customer services and was 99 in the queue. When I eventually got through I was told that my query would be put through to the escalation team who would contact me within 24 hours. Two days later text message was received with a delivery date of 1 June. I received a text message last Friday confirming my delivery would be between 1 and 6, however, at about 12, I received an email stating that due to difficulties my delivery would not be made and a new date would be sent within 24 hours. If I could give less than one star I would.

Ordered a mattress in February, 5 weeks delivery not a problem, confirmed delivery a few days before with a 6 hour window. Got a text message 3.5 hours in to the window saying they couldn't find it in the warehouse and would be rearranged. Got the rearranged date for a further 5 week delay, confirmation a few days before delivery date but 3 hours before delivery got a text cancelling delivery. After first cancellation tried to get hold of call centre but was 101 in the queue, left a message on Facebook messenger and got a reply after 6 days saying the account was not in my name as we had bought in my wife's name, sent a reply to them but never heard from them again. Tried calling the shop but no reply after both failed deliveries. Got hold of the call centre eventually and asked for a refund to be told that could only be done through the shop. Got hold of the shop on the second day after the second failed delivery and spoke to Ben, he authorised the refund but had to speak to head office to process it. Ben phoned back to confirm the refund. Paid back to our card after 2 days. Happy now but no mattress.

Sales team were amazing. Spent £2.5k on a beautiful new bed with a delivery date booked for 12th May. We changed the delivery date to 30th May (so they had extra time to make sure all was well and complete with our order). Delivery date came, we received only part of the bed! We now have an ottoman bed base stuck in the open position because we have no mattress (part of the order) to weigh the base down. We had no warning of the mattress being missing, and have now been told we have to wait SIX weeks for the mattress. This is disgraceful service!!

Never going to buy anything from this place. Bought a sofa bed back in December 2021, give months down the line we are still waiting for it! Every time it's suppose to come either nobody calls or we get a call an hour before delivery to say they can't deliver. Hey keep promising they will get it delivered and give us some silly excuse as to why they can't deliver it. We've wasted so much time waiting it is ridiculous. Customer service is appealing, no pictures calling the helpline as they are useless and cannot provide you with an answer, that's if you can even get through o them! We will never buy anything from this place again.

AVOID Wish I'd checked for Benson reviews before spending £2.6k with this company. Our bed was delivered with a missing headboard, which prevents us from assembling the bed. Bensons can't deliver the part for one month! To add to our woes, one of the parts we do have came broken. Call the customer service help line and I'm number 49 in the queue. After 10 minutes on hold and not changing queue position, I hung up. Email customer service and their response is an answer within 7 days! If I do not hear from them within 7 days, I will be reporting them to trading standards. It was a very poor error the day we shopped in Bensons store.

If I could give no stars I would. Delayed deliveries. Zero communication. On hold as caller 99 etc a joke. Ordered Feb, finally mattress arrived and day 2 it is sinking, I am now day 14 and they are not replying! Jokers. I've asked for a refund sent images apparently nothing wrong with this even though a pocket sprung mattress.... yeah right!. Claiming back now through the bank. AVOID THIS COMPANY PLEASE LOOK ON FB AND ONLINE AT THE GENUINE REVIEWS SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE.

This must be the worst company on planet earth. They cannot deliver on time or at all, staff hide from the customers and wont answer emails. Customer service non existent. Please go elsewhere for your bed or be prepared for a life of hell.

Do not buy from Bensons for Beds, whatever you do. Visited the Solihull branch to buy a mattress we'd had before, as the quality was good. Sales process was fine, and even got a discount. Then it was all downhill from there. Booked a day off work for the delivery, received the text and was waiting with an empty bed frame for the new mattress. New mattress did not arrive, no call, no text, nothing. Then finally, a call from a random mobile number, telling me it won't be delivered that day. Reorganised for a different day (I had to call them, not the other way around), waited again, and guess what? No delivery, no call, nothing. Dreadful. Was told they'd get in touch when I followed up, then nothing for several days. Eventually got a text message with a new date over a month away, on a day we weren't available. Had enough by this point, so called the Solihull branch for a refund. Was fobbed off three times waiting for the manager, eventually got back in touch with me to refund card and I barely got a sorry. If you buy from Bensons, don't expect your delivery to be fulfilled. Don't take time off work. Don't expect a follow up call. Possibly the worst customer experience I've had for a £1,000+ purchase. I'm now £600 out of pocket after I had to take time off work, and Bensons for Beds literally couldn't have cared less. Does anyone have any legal advice? Shop at John Lewis – our new mattress is on the way within a few days and we've been called to confirm everything already.

Ordered 2 wardrobes which were delivered on time. When the fitters came to assemble the wardrobes they noticed that there were several missing items which meant they could not be fully assembled. They told us to ring customer services to resolve this matter. We have tried several times being on hold for 45 minutes plus only to be cut off when we reach No 3 on the waiting list. Our emails have gone unanswered and we are now left with half finished wardrobes. Avoid at all costs…
