"One month ago, my partner and I went to Dreams in Hereford to order a new bed. After originally planning on buying a king, we decided to purchase a super king instead. The woman who worked there made a great sales pitch and was kind and patient while serving us. After making our choice, we sat down to go through the order. At the time, we explained that we lived in a tight spaced house and that the stairs were tight. The woman assured us that this would not be an issue as the men delivering the bed had dealt with all sorts of tight accesses before and would be able to get it in. We ended up paying a sum of \u00a31,920 for a frame, mattress and instillation of the frame. Almost two weeks later, the bed was due to arrive. The delivery men spent 10 minutes in the house and stated that they could not get the super king up the stairs. They did not take the frame out of the box to try and get it up \u2013 we had measured the frame and knew this could fit up the stairs prior to ordering it. And so the bed and frame were taken away. \r\n\r\nHere the troubles starts\u2026Upon ringing the Hereford branch to discuss what our next steps were, we were not met with any form of customer service skills one would expect when an issue has occurred. No apology was given. We were informed that we could install a zip to the mattress due to the tight access however this would cost us an extra \u00a3260. Why this option was not provided at the start when we stated that we had tight access I am not sure as we would have looked at a cheaper mattress due to cost. After being told we could not have a refund, we went with the zip option. \r\n\r\nFast forward 4 weeks later to the current day. Mattress and frame arrive. Different delivery men (who were external and did not work for dreams like the previous gentlemen) who were able to get the very same frame up the stairs. It looked great and we were very happy. Then we saw the mattress\u2026a zip had indeed been installed, however, whoever had done the job had not levelled the mattress up and so one part of the mattress is currently at least 80mm longer than the other side! After spending \u00a31400 plus the \u00a3260 on this mattress, whoever felt that this it was acceptable to allow it to be sent out is unbelievable. We have a mattress with one half longer than the other! The delivery men stated that this was clearly appalling and said they would inform there was a fault with it in their notes. Due to this shock, I immediately rang the Hereford branch and asked to speak to the manager for some confirmation that something would be done about this expensive mistake. I was told that the manger was on maternity leave and that the deputy manager was with a customer. I informed the woman who I was on the phone with about my issue and she suggested I ring customer service. I did so and was placed in a 45 minute queue which ended with the line cutting out 35 minutes in. After work the same day, I rang the Hereford branch back and asked if the deputy manager was now free. They had obviously spoken about me ringing earlier as I could hear someone in the background (who I assume was the deputy manager) saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know what she wants me to do about it. What does she expect me to do?\u201d I was then put on with the deputy manager who was EXTREMELY unhelpful and very rude. She begrudgingly said she would email customer service for me and at the end of the phone call I could even here her laughing about my issue with another colleague! As someone who works with the general public in their job, I was absolutely horrified by the level of customer service shown by this individual. And someone who is given managerial responsibilities too! I am now looking at going to small claims court to get a refund for this bed which was misrepresented and faulty."

“Their mattress insurance is a waste of money and time. The dip in the memory foam mattress was measured in the afternoon after no compression and found to be "within limits". This does not reflect the lack of support when in use.”

Purchased a Bed suite (without mattress) from Dreams 20th June 2021 for about £1450 ...payment was taken in full on the day... date for delivery given 8-12 weeks... long but ok, it is what it is... come 8 weeks no update... come 12 weeks NO update... we call and chase up...and are told there is a delay and it will be another 4 weeks... OK deep breaths... it is what it is... 4 more weeks pass... NO UPDATE!!!... we chase up AGAIN and are NOW told that there is a FURTHER delay and that the PROVISIONAL date is booked in for December 9th 2021... nearly 6 months from date of purchase.... Am I Dreaming or have we just been robbed by Dreams!?!?! and what really annoys me, I hear Dreams advertisements for more customer business on the radio all the time .... My advice to Dreams if you cant fulfil your existing orders then you have NO RIGHT to take on further business!!!!!!”

“Absolutely appaling service received from Dreams. Had purchased two beds from them, which got delivered and put together however before we could even check that the job has been done corrctly and that we were satisfied it, the two guys just walked and left without checking with the customer. Unfortunately one of the beds needed the draw changing however upon calling Dreams regarding the issue, were advised by Dreams that they are not willing to send someone out again just to change the position of the draw (excellent customer service!) Due to the unsatisfactory service received by both Customer Service and the two guys who came to set it up we had then requested a refund so that we could go elsewhere (only for the 1 bed that we wasnt satisfied with) however this request was declined by Dreams even though its part of their company policy to allow refunds as stated on their website. Just goes to show how misleading a huge company like Dreams can be. Their refund and exchange policy reassures customers when purchasing from Dreams hence why we purchased from them in the first place but being declined a refund is unacceptable. Will not be purchasing from Dreams ever again and definitely will not be recommending them to any friends or family. Issues stated below - handymen who were employed and sent by Dreams DID NOT CHECK IF THE CUSTOMER WAS SATISFIED, INSTEAD THEY HAD LEFT AS SOON AS THE JOB WAS COMPLETE - When issue was raised to Customer Services, no empathy was shown, instead it felt like we were being penalised (LOL) - Dreams refused to offer a refund due to the most absurd reasons (we didnt notify the handymen and we shouldve told them whilst they were setting it up, also the company only offers refunds at discretion which contradicts their company policy). ive worked in customer services for the past 5 years, never thought a company like Dreams could be this sly, incompetent and unfair. Obviously they put their money first before customers.”

“My order reference: 888H684649 . Extremely bad shopping experience. It has been a week now, still wait for a reply from their CS. Maybe I will finally get a reply by posting bad review about them. If the business owner thinks my review is unfair, please reply here, we can speak openly. After reply from Stepten Gibert Stepten, I emailed you guys long ago, and I spoke to one of your staff on Wednesday. They are very good at pretending nothing happened during the process, they completely ignored your enquiry [reference number 2944]. I actually requested an refund after they disappointed me, however they still insist to send out the order. Also, pay attention as there are always a few good reviews popping up to push bad reviews down. but I guess they can fool no one but themselves.”

“One of delivery drivers was extremely bad mannered and bad tempered while delivering new mattress. Kicked 2 boxes of pillows they had set on hall floor out of his way when exiting my home and chipped my new paintwork in hallway. He was also very rude to me and could not get back to his lorry and off my property quick enough. Sent photo to store as proof. Reported matter to company to receive a half hearted apology from the company. Will not be purchasing from Dreams again!!”

“Keep away from this company!!! absolute disgrace, ordered adjustable bed 13 weeks ago, was told at time of purchase up to 12 weeks, but could come within 2, then saw on website and it states can be delivered within 6 weeks, rang them to find out why mine is taking 13 weeks, then saw website changed. Few weeks later states delivery within 4 weeks, same again!! Got email 3 days ago, stating delivery tomorrow, I would get email this afternoon, giving 2 hour time slot. INSTEAD, got phone call telling me "how sorry we are, but it will be 25th NOV" and all the manager at Durham can say is speak to head office!! WASTE OF TIME BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY, ONLY GAVE ONE STAR AS HAD TO GIVE SOMETHING!!”

“Bought a mattress from dreams. After 3 months felt that the indentations in it must be due to a fault so reported it to dreams. They sent out their homeserve inspector, which took another month. They agreed that the mattress was faulty and needing replacing with a dip of 4 cm. I had no contact from Dreams following this and had chase this up myself. Dreams are however disputing that a new mattress is required and feel that rotating it will magically improve this. Far from happy needless to say an ongoing complaint I do not recommend buying anything from this company”

“Please share, Went to dreams (beds)asked to do sleep test(lay on mattress & it tells you what best mattress). It came up with the tempur firm I wasn’t impressed as my old tempur was medium, I said I think I stick with what I know & was told don’t worry you can try the matress for 30 days & if you don’t like it we will swap it. So against my better judgment I agreed to try it. Brought matress protector & Was also sold an insurance for accidental damage stains etc for 8 years. Unhappy with matress I contacted dreams & said I wanted to change mattress not a problem we will send new one & change it for you. Driver comes to change matress says he has to check for stains & says yes looks good & goes to get plastic to cover it then lifts mattress & small stain shows under light. I know I have not spilt anything & have had matress protector since day 1. DREAMS have said they will not change it so I asked what I payed insurance for & was told that it doesn’t start until a year after purchase. Fuming ain’t the word. Inspect your mattress on delivery people because I’m sure the stain must have been there on delivery & because it doesn’t show to naked eye we missed it. Even though they miss sold me both matress & insurance they tell me nothing I can do.”

“Brought a mattress from dreams about 3 years ago, paid £850 and had guarantee taken out, made a claim as I found the mattress doesn’t support my back as it should and I find it was Mis sold with false claims it will support my back which I find it doesn’t, it has lost its shape now a guy came to inspect it and said it has no fault as it’s wear and tear why would I take out a guarantee if the mattress isn’t doing it’s job, if anything I find it gives me more back pain !! So be careful when buying don’t listen to sales teams do your own research before buying, and don’t take out guarantees as they don’t mean anything, I no in future I will never by from dream!!”

“Do not get involved in their comfort program. Do not trust the mattress suggestions their staff make as they have no idea what they are talking about. Mattresses supplied feel nothing like the mattresses on the shop floor and you will lose out. Total con coupled with shocking after service. Please, please take the time to find an alternative company to deal with. Ripped off.”

“Had no end of problems with dreams, I had made a claim on the so called “no hassle” 10 year insurance plan, and I’ve had nothing but hassle, trying to sort out the new bed. Constant phone calls in my own time made to the apes at customer services who don’t have a brain cell between them. They told me I couldn’t order 2 items because it had to be made in one transaction, then after messing around and standing my ground, the claims team even told me the customer services have no right to tell me what I can or can’t order so sorted it straight away. Now I know COVID is making things hard for deliveries etc, but after FINALLY sorting my new bed out (weeks longer than it shouldn’t have taken), I got told my order had been cancelled because of lockdown. That’s fair enough but I then get word dreams are doing doorstep deliveries, so I contact them again to arrange my delivery. Only to be told by some waste of oxygen that they can’t do it because it involves picking up the old bed aswel?!! Even with my offer to put it outside where the new one would be placed?? Shocking service from dreams and they really don’t give a F*** about their customers. If I wasn’t getting this bed through the insurance I would of went somewhere else, I won’t ever be using them again.”

“Disgusting customer service! Played for bed assemble but was told on the morning of delivery that as we where in Tier 4 they can assemble, I'm single mother recovering from total hip replacement and they would not help, called customer service and lady just laughed in my face! 4 weeks later I still did not get my refund for the assemble, they not replay to my emails or picking up the calls.”

“Absolutely horrible experience with delivery which takes 5 months. Unable to give a suitable time slot for delivery.”

“The website was easy to use and can be filtered to what you want which narrows down the choices. We chose a 2 week quick delivery slot and were able to pick a date suitable for us, which was only about 10 days from ordering. A few days beforehand we received further details of a time slot. Excellent service, we were kept up to date throughout the process and they were able to deliver despite national lockdown rules coming into force the evening before delivery. The Head of Customer Service (or perhaps his PA/automated system) emailed at 23:00 that evening to confirm delivery ongoing. The driver phoned in the morning to confirm that a doorstep delivery was suitable for me. The drivers were very polite and happy to carry it to the front door and when I asked for them to bump it up onto the step so I could pull it in they were happy to do it. I would recommend using Dreams over other large bed retailers who we have had a bad experience with. Obviously we have only received the mattress today so we don't have a full review on the mattress but is what we wanted, good quality and comes in a recyclable "plastic" bag.”

“Get that awful voice off your adverts. She's made her money from her fee, she's laughing. The director has moved on to other projects he's been paid, they're laughing. The only people NOT laughing are the T.V viewers who have to listen to this revolting voice over SQUAWK ! I'll NEVER buy a Dreams bed.”

“Terrible experience with Dreams. Ordered a bed which was part of their "Quick Delivery" range and displayed as a two week delivery period. Product is in fact completely out of stock and I've been told I would likely need to wait 12 weeks or more for delivery. Cancelled the order and now have been told that we have to wait up to 14 days for a refund to be processed, which is ridiculous.”

“I brought an expensive bed frame and mattress and also paid for a extended 10year warranty... now 6 years in my mattress has dipped 30cms, is lumpy and is like sleeping on concrete. I am unable to sleep in it as I wake up several times during the night as im in pure agony in my neck, back and hips due to this horrific bed. I phoned dreams and spoke to a woman who arranged for a bed inspection to be carried out, this was done by a man who was in my house for approximately 10 minutes. He seemed more interested in chatting about his like rather than doing a through inspection. Result...dreams would not honor my warranty as it said dipping was excluded. I spoke to trading standards who said the bed is not fit for purpose under the sale of goods act , but dreams still will not replace or refund me. I am now sleep deprived, in really bad pain, sleeping on the floor and cannot afford another bed and dreams don't give a dam. I am so angry when I see dreams advert saying how much sleep matters. I will never buy from them again and I am discusted at their attitude.”
