I have purchased a kingsized Slumberland bed and headboard from the Scunthorpe branch which has just been delivered. I can't heap enough praise on the excellent manager ,the ordering process, the communications and the delivery men (so pleasant and efficient)

I had a mattress delivered on Wednesday 2nd November. The two lads were fantastic. Nothing was any trouble. I would recommend the service to anyone.

Absolutely disgraceful company !! No customer service at all 20% handling charge ( that was covered in an email that you don’t receive until after you have left the store!! ) on a bed that the manager assured us was suitable and would fit after explaining we had already had to send another bed back to a different company ( that happily took it back no charge !) Costing us £550 to end up with no bed !! Never ever ever buy from this company absolutely disgusting company !!!!

I’ve always bought and then years later replaced with a Bensons product! I bought my current bed Jan 2019 had it delivered February 2019. I’ve followed the instructions on airing out matt and turning it around ...I have NO complaints. I’ve also had no issues with my family purchasing the same IGEL bed as me and some h/b.

5star service by Jack in your Mariners Way branch this morning. Very informative knew his product. Smiley friendly service not at all pushy. I will wait delivery of the new bed and have a good night's sleep 😴

Fab service from the guys in the shop to the delivery guys who took my new bed straight to the bedroom. Even better the fact that I was only their 2nd delivery so didn't have to wait around for hours. The tracking where they are is fab too. Bed was very easy to put together and took no time at all. Only problem I can see is with a headboard in the mattress slightly overhangs the end of the bed. Haven't had a first night's sleep yet, but it feels fine.

This page is full of negative reviews regarding Bensons customer service and their ways with dealing with complaints. After reading these reviews and knowing we had a faulty mattress i was very worried about how our complaint would be dealt with. I called Bensons regarding our 1 & half year old mattress as there was a large dip in one side of the mattress. I was first shocked as i was told as the mattress was over 6 months old we would have to pay £48 for an independent inspection from Homeserve to come and deem if it’s a manufacture fault. Right then i was extremely worried because of these reviews that Homeserve would tell us that it wasn’t and we would have to fork out another lot of money we quite frankly don’t have for a mattress when we knew it was faulty. My partner arranged for the inspection anyway as something needed to be done. The guy came and within seconds of seeing the mattress saw it was in fact faulty, he carried out the necessary tests anyway to complete his report - just for reference Homeserve are COMPLETELY independent. After this we called Bensons who told us we needed to forward on our report to them, we did this and they then issued us with a reselection code, not only this but they refunded us the £48 for inspection. We then went in the store and reselected a mattress which has been delivered to us with a new 5 year warranty. I understand that many people won’t have had a good experience, but i have, and i wanted to share it so that people are aware there are some who get a good outcome. I have to give this 5 stars because i have had such a positive experience throughout this complaint

Excellent service from start to finish. Shop staff explained the different options, allowed us to use the mattress simulator to determine required hardness etc, and informed us of delivery options and dates. We ordered an ottoman bed and mattress which were delivered on the date specified, and we were kept informed on order progress via text message throughout the process. On the day of delivery we were emailed a link to see exactly where the delivery driver was and we could predict the arrival time down to 10 minutes. The delivery team were efficient, placed the items in the required room, and were very careful not to cause any damage. Assembly of the bed frame was straightforward, too about 2 hours for 2 people to complete, and the quality of all items was excellent. After reading all the negative reviews (after ordering) I was a bit worried, but in my case everything was done perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Holly was our sales assistant who was very welcoming, polite and professional. Although my first mattress was very disappointing Holly who was very knowledgeable went through the alternatives and the one I have chosen seems to be very comfortable. The delivery drivers were very courteous and helpful. I did know about not getting you money back if you did not like your mattress, but I think perhaps it should all be explained very clearly to customers first.

I’m giving Bensons five stars for being the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, we spent £1600 on a bed from them that the salesperson said was the best for our needs, within a year it has two huge sagging dents, either side and a big ridge in the middle making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep and even change sleeping position. I give them five stars for adding insult to injury as our only option was we had to pay £50 for a test that is so pathetic it would never show the extent of the problems, but that allows Bensons to get out of any obligation to honour their worthless guarantee, I also give them five stars at causing stress and upset, I am devastated to have been conned like this by what I thought was a reputable company, I wish I’d read review sites before I wasted my money

We ordered the pure indelgence bespoke range from Bensons and when we got home we looked at the reviews. I nearly cancelled because the reviews were so bad. However, we decided that we would commence with the order as we liked the bed so much. We had no problem with dealing with the sale and delivery team - yes we had to wait a bit on the phone but only about 10 mins and the telephone operative was courteous. When our bed was delivered we were called on the phone 2 hours before and the delivery men were brilliant. We noticed a dirty mark on the mattress so the delivery guy took a photo, called the head office and they said they would replace the mattress but we could use the one with the mark on it for now. A few week on I have had my new mattress delivered no fuss and no problem. Turning to the bed - well i can sum it up in one word - LUSH!! The topper is luxurious and soft and it is extremely comfortable. We normally went for a firm mattress but we decided on a medium this time and we are not disappointed - I actually want to go to bed early it's that comfortable. Well done Bensons - you have had some really bad reviews but my experience of you has been a good one.

Great service from the first visit to the delivery day. Me and my partner visited the branch in Kingston upon Thames where the Manager Ornella Franzese gave us a 5* customer service from the beginning. Ornella was so attentive and helpful yet she was never pushy and we felt she directed us to the best possible solution for us. I would strongly recommend Bensons for Beds to all my family and friends.

Avoid this firm. They bring a whole new meaning to "customer service". It has taken over 3 months and numerous emails before I got an answer to my complaint. I would rather sleep on the floor than have anything to do with this bunch of incompetent idiots. Trading standards should really be taking a long hard look at them. I would strongly recommend you spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

The customer service from Brenda at bensons beds East Kilbride was excellent, helpful and friendly with no pressure. My new bed has just been delivered by Stuart and John and I cannot speak highly enough of them. So pleasant and friendly ( not to mention efficient, they had my new bed and headboard assembled in no time!) all in all a happy experience. These employees are a credit to the company.

I recently bought a bed from Bensons and then read these reviews and almost cancelled the order. I have to say i am so pleased i didn't. The bed arrived on time with no fuss. The delivery guys were fantastic and no complaints. The bed we ordered arrived exactly as we ordered. Whether Bensons have changed or listened, i have had a wonderful experience. Thanks

My parents (in their late 70's) spent quite a lot of money on a new bed. Within 5 months the mattress had sunk in the centre. Only my mother sleeps in that bed and she is quite slightly built and around 5ft 2 in height. The 'expert' appeared and duly sent a letter accusing my mum of causing the damage. Absolutely impossible! I have written to them on two occasions on their behalf. We still have had no reply to either letter despite providing phone numbers and email addresses. I suppose next steps will be the ombudsman and finally a lawyer.

Great service in Bolton store, no issues with delivery or bed. Let's hope I don't need to call customer service!
