HYPNOS & DREAMS ***Worst buying experience ever*** MATTRESS FOR 50 NIGHTS DESPITE DECLARED NOT SUITABLE BY THIER INVESTIGATOR I purchased a £1600 Hypnos Winslet Zip and Link kingsize mattress from Dreams on the 30th July; it was rec’d on 17th August. I opted for zip and linked format (tight stairwell) on the advice of the sales man (Carl in the Basingstoke store). I explained that I sleep alone and like to spread out (why not!) The two mattresses that comprise the King are overly padded with inadequately placed tufting meaning both mattresses are very curved (convexed); one much more than the other. As a result I spend all night rolling off the two sides into the VALLEY BETWEEN THE TWO MATTRESSES AND SLEEPING ON THE ZIP. Not the sleep experience expected when paying a lot of money for what should be a high end HYPNOS ‘Queen approved’ mattress! I reported the issues to Dreams who sent Homeserve to inspect the mattress. The gentleman confirmed that ‘THE MATTRESSES BOTH HAVE A FIRM CURVE SO THERE WILL BE SOME ROLLING WHEN LAYING DOWN‘ and ‘I HAVE INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT MATTRESS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ONE PERSON’. However, contradicting this by declared the mattress ‘NOT FAULTY’. Perhaps not surprising since Dreams were paying for the report. Three days later a copy of the report was sent as an attachment in an email with NO additional information or options. When I contacted Dreams I finally got the following reply: Karla (Dreams Beds) 8 Oct, 14:41 BST Good Afternoon, I firstly wish to offer you my sincerest apology for the lack of contact from Dreams. I can see Hypnos have been liasing with you in regards to your mattress. I can see an email was sent to you on the 2nd October explaing no fault was found by Homeserve when they did their ispection for you. The email should have detailed ways for you to esacalte this if you wish. Due to the results we now hold for you Dreams have currently closed the claim as there is no further action due from us I have since contacted Dreams and Hypnos numerous times by email about getting a suitable replacement - simply asking to being reimbursed for any difference in cost between replacement of the zip and linked king with a standard king. When I received NO REPLY again from Dreams, I have resorted to requesting collection and a refund STILL NO REPLY. Hypnos have deflected any responsibility back to Dreams. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN to offer replacement of this mattress. I have been sleeping in my spare room for the last 40mights. I am simply appalled at the customer service from both these companies. They have left me no choice - I am referring this case to TRADING STANDARDS and THE FURNITURE OMBUDSMAN to investigate. Do not go near these companies!!

We ordered a mattress from dreams , staff in store were great, we decided to have it on interest free and paid a deposit, delivery was to be a week later, this was ordered on a Saturday , by the Monday personal circumstances had changed, I rang to cancel the mattress, which they did no problem, however they kept £170.00 which was 10% of the total bill, which would be on the account for 12 months then it will be wiped, problem is it can only be used for the same as the original cost! Absolutely disgusting customer service. Keep £170.00 for what???

Dreams? More like nightmares! The new double mattress delivered is the worst mattress I have ever slept on and so rock hard its breaking my body. It is NOTHING like the one I tested in store although it’s the ‘same’ label. I’m wondering now if the one in store is manufactured differently so it’s convincing but that customers get sent something else. I went back to store to complain and get refund. They said that perhaps in-store one was softer and more comfortable because people had been on it. Really!?! They then called head office who didn’t offer refund but suggested an ‘independent inspector’. Hardly likely independent but I went along with it, so another several more painful nights for that to happen. Inspector came today but have yet to hear the results of this. Tried calling customer service but on hold so long I gave up. I expect to continue to suffer while Dreams takes its time getting back to me but I anticipate they’ll ‘independently’ decide there’s nothing wrong with the mattress. I don’t hold out much hope on ever getting a good nights sleep or getting my money back (especially with their questionable £49 quid ‘comfort’ exchange charge and that sneaky 20% admin charge). Do the right thing Dreams and take this awful torture board away and give me back my money so I can get a mattress elsewhere because this is a painfully disappointing result and I don’t want to give you another penny!

Great service in store. Unfortunately, the bed or mattress was damaged but no-one informed us the delivery date was to be delayed by nearly two weeks; so we removed the old bed and disposed of it after receiving a text message the day before to confirm delivery was to be expected. Obviously, the bed never arrived, nor did we receive any phone call, we had to chase them at 4pm on a Friday afternoon; we had to cancel the order and purchase another bed from a bed supplier who could actually deliver. Appalling customer service, appalling comunication (misleading, incorrect and non-existant), save your time and money, go elsewhere.

Dreams has a bad attitude to cancellation, totally immoral! I paid a 20% deposit for a double bed mattress, which was on sale and booked the delivery date with the local store. The receipt was emailed to me and at no point was I told about their cancellation policy and 48 hours’ notice. Four days later, after placing the order I returned to the shop to cancel the order because on measuring my bed frame I realised that it is slightly bigger than the mattress ordered. The shop gave me, shop gave me a customer service number to ring the next day, as it was a Monday bank holiday. I rang the number twice. Each time had to wait for a long time to be answered and a promise to ring back, which did not happen! Eventually spoke to the customer service and to my horror was told that I would be charged 10% of the original price, which amounted to £78.30 for cancellation. £78.30!!! for doing what? The mattress was on sale not made to measure for me, has not been delivered to me and no charge incurred. Incredulous! Daylight robbery! What admin costs did Dreams incur?? If Dreams is going to charge such cancellation charge why didn’t the salesperson make me aware of it at the time of purchase? I will never buy from Dreams again and will be telling friends to keep off!

Paid for extended warranty (+8 years) on our £1700 bed & mattress. Cavernous dip within 12 months, technicians report totally contradicted what was said when the chap was here so replacement denied & have had no option but to sleep on the sofa since as crippled with back pain in the bed. Report clearly says we have a no turn mattress yet the fault has been placed with us for....not turning the mattress. We were specifically told instore NOT to turn it in any direction ( not over nor head to foot). Be warned! Never again.

I purchased my Ottoman Bed Frame on the 21st of March 2018 around 16 months ago, I paid £599, the bed last night decided to break away from the head board it appears that one of the side frame panel has completely slipped away and pulled the bolts from inside the crumbly chip board headboard, this happened in the middle of the night as I have woken up lop sided and found one side of the bed on the floor. Dreams are literally saying not our problem its over 12 months old its your problem now, will never recommend the company again.

Recently purchased a sofa bed for my father following the death of my mother. He is unable to be on his own at night (due to dementia) and we needed something to facilitate a family member staying every night. Store experience was good and we paid £25.00 to have sofa bed delivered and set up. Delivery guys were so rude. They complained that they had not been informed that delivery was to a flat (despite my stating so at the store when ordering) but after much grumbling, unloaded the sofa bed, took off the packaging and delivered to first floor flat (using the available lift). Setting up was a joke. Neither seemed to know what they were doing and once erected the sofa bed does not work and the mattress does not pull out and the arms are loose. One of the guys admitted that he did not know what he was doing and would consult the internet when he got home for instructions for future reference. They refused to do anything about it and advised that they would make a call to report the problem and that I should expect a call from Head office within 2 hours. Naturally, no call ever came and we now have a sofa rather than the desired and necessary sofa-bed. Today, I managed to speak to Customer Service and have been told that the sofa-bed needs to be assessed and the earliest they could do this is 5th August. They claim they can do nothing until the sofa-bed is assessed and I have no choice but to wait 2 weeks for this to happen. So, Dreams took our money, provided an extremely poor delivery service and supplied faulty goods not fit for purpose, and are prepared to sit back and do nothing to help resolve the situation. The lowest star rating I could give is "one" but really feel that even this is too high. I am appalled that a Company as large and well-known as Dreams is so incompetent and blase about their poor service.

Having paid over £4k for my daughters bed room furniture and bed less than 12 month later the door hinges have come away from the board. Having paid extra for the guarantee that the woman at the Stafford branch assured me "any issues there will be no problem" - their response it was forced and therefore not prepared to offer any assistance. If it had been forced all three hinges would have shown signs of over stressing. The door cannot be over stressed because of the way it opens. In short cheap material and a guarantee that isn't effectively any guarantee. should have read the reviews before buying from Dreams 67% 1 star, only gave 1 star myself because there isn't provision for 0.

I bought a bed with dreams just 3 months ago. Fanatastic bed when I bought the product I also bought 8 years insurance on it. I was told it would cover if there any stains on headboard. I had some staines on headboard rang the number i was given, the lady said someone would get back to me. Then after a day or so I get a call back as I was at work I missed the call. Today I called back on the same number I was told it would take 3/5 working days for someone to contact me I questioned and the guy on the phone said there are 15 people who works in the office I don’t know who called you🙄 I work in a organisation where 100 people work and we still help our customer. He promised a call back after half an hour whole day passed no call back and I am getting so angry and frustrated and wish I would have never bought this bed.

I decided to find a new bed frame from Dreams because they seemed to offer a good range and because as well as assembly they also offered a recycling service for your existing bed which is very helpful. Plus I did the research and saw the good reviews and generally good reputation Dreams has. Unfortunately my experience did not play out very well and I had to cancel my order. I placed an order for a bed frame at £539 and at the checkout selected that I also wanted the frame assembling on delivery, agreeing to pay £40 for this service. During the ordering process I couldn’t find anything mentioning about recycling of my existing bed and there was no option to purchase this. I referred to the website that states in the FAQs that this part can be added to your order up to 48 hours before delivery, so I assumed I would be able to arrange this later on. It says this here on the website: https://support.dreams.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/205720491-Recycling-Service Just over two weeks after I had placed the order I was bothered that I hadn’t had any correspondence about my order so I rang to ask for a status update. I knew to expect a wait of up to ten weeks to receive the bed and there was nothing showing on the “my account” pages of my customer account regarding delivery, so I just wanted peace of mind. It’s a good job I did ring because when I asked about when I could add on the recycling service I was told that my bed was being made in Germany and delivered by a third party supplier, who would assemble it but weren’t able to take my existing bed away. I explained that nothing told me this during the ordering process, as I would have ordered a different bed. The website doesn’t say there are any exceptions, caveats or terms and conditions associated with the recycling service so this is very misleading. The member of staff said, with some attitude, that if I had wanted the recycling service that I should have contacted them when ordering to find out it wasn’t available and not waited two weeks. The onus was all on me apparently. I disagreed and couldn’t understand how I was supposed to know my bed was coming from a third party when as far as I’m aware it was from “Dreams” and that this would affect the recycling service. So on being dissatisfied with this customer service and feeling misled I ended the call to decide what to do. I rang back and spoke to a more senior member of staff who apologised for the previous phone call and did start to redeem the situation by offering a “good will” gesture of agreeing to arrange a separate collection of my existing bed frame, after the arrival of the new one. I couldn’t understand how this was a gesture of good will when it is what is advertised as standard. Despite this disagreement I said I would keep the order and appreciated this offer, expecting to pay the standard £25 for this. However I was told it would be a further £63 on top of the £25 to pay for the collection. By this point I decided I didn’t want to give Dreams my custom because it felt like a con. The member of staff said sorry and I received a call from the cancellations team later that day who thankfully refunded my money. They didn’t ask any questions about my reason for cancelling. My advice is don’t be fooled by the website and perceived reputation, approach with skepticism and double check your order details by ringing their customer service.

We took out the extended warranty, just as well as they replaced the base units four times as the draws broke with 8 kilos of clothing in there !! sticker inside says it will take nearly twice that weight !! and as others have said we had a problem with a bulge appearing in the middle of the expensive given its lifespan nearly £1000 mattress !! the guy who attended from Homeserve brought a piece of string and a ruler and said it was "natural North South divide" , he then to my horror bounced up and down on it !!, NOT !! very professional , he wrote on the form we were sent in the post that stated they were cancelling our claim ,and that on the day of his visit we were happy with his analysis !! Rubbish !! , we never said that on the day !! .. waste of money !!! we now have a new mattress from John Lewis !!

Today i had the worst delivery ever. The person who was carrying the bed up the stairs made more than one big mark on my wall he was forcing the bed with no patients. I can’t believe I will need to paint the wall. I don’t understand how Your delivery team can be so incompetent and careless.

If you're thinking of buying here… If you're thinking of buying here ..DONT!. Their expensive extended guarantee is worthless. We specifically bought a mattress explaining that I'd had broken vertebrae in my back years ago and needed to ensure the mattress was correct ..eventually paid a lot for a new bed and mattress and guarantee which was fine for a while then ..despite turning the mattress regularly as recommended .started to sag in the middle and ruck up under the top cover ...after contacting their "independent"?? Insurance company re the guarantee they sent out a homeserve engineer...we explained to the guy that the mattress sags but mainly when you've been in bed for half an hour ...wasn't interested and brought out a highly specialised piece of measuring equipment ...a piece of string with a block of wood attached to each end ..this combined with a six inch plastic ruler defined scientifically that the sag in the bed wasn't quite bad enought to warrant a claim ...even though we pointed out the mattress actually need us to be on it to show how significantly it sags under load ...twice went through this process each time the homeserve engineer pointed out he was not allowed to test in any other way and that most claims were rejected anyway ...so ...after being promised the earth in store my only recommendation would be ...avoid dreams ...find a much cheaper bed and mattress and use the significant amount of money you save to completely replace everything more often ...no doubt dreams will have some significant rubbish comment to add to this post but ...the a above are facts ...judge for yourself ...or worse still ...purchase and discover for yourself

AVOID THIS JOKE OF A COMPANY Never have I received such a poor service. We ordered a bed and mattress for our moving day 13th June. Only to find out WITHOUT THEM NOTIFYING US that this had been put back to 19th June! Hours on the phone and "nothing they can do". Found out that our mattress had been taken off the order so that they could give it to someone else and then readded. Hence the later date. UNACCEPTABLE. Has now turned up today (19th June) and a piece is BROKEN. Best they can do is get a part shipped to us is a few days!! So brand new house and over a WEEK with no bed. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AT ALL. Their handling of these issues has been appalling and it seems NO One has the capability to put anything right. We'll have to see if the new part turns up now won't we. 2k bed and mattress and where am I sleeping?? On a £100 IKEA mattress. Absolute JOKE of a company. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Bought New S/night Enhanced D P/T 4 Drw Base Grey - no set up instructions. Just two plastic clips to join both halves. Eventually, after speaking with customer services and a store assistant worked how to do it - a wrestling match with the two halves eventually sorted it. WHY no instructions - beggars belief. Quality, pretty boor, lots of loose threads and glue in the drawers.
