The worst customer services and quality of product ever... Do not use this company ever. I bought a mattress and it's been a night mare. Do not email the company to complaint they take 1 month to reply. Then even though you have a faulty product they will not do anything about it. You can send photos and evidence but they do not account for this. My advice is do not use, go to a good company like John Lewis. I will never ever use this company again!!!

Well up to now the staff, a woman in Bensons was really polite and helpful we chose our bed an I gel and it was delivered on time we'll very early 7am on the date the delivery service was excellent and the men were very professional and polite However 402 days in and I've not really had 1 good nights sleep I toss and turn every night the bed is so warm the gel just seems to heat up the warmer I get no good for menapausel woman I'm afraid, so we are going to use the 40 day trial guarentee offer and change it the end of the week Watch this space So far Bensons 7 out of 10 let's see if we can make it 10 out of 10

Bought divan and mattress, one of the drawers on the base was broken. Customer service was absolute rubbish, rang them several times, eventually got through, said they would call back but didn't. New base eventually came. Certainly won't be using them again and would not recommend them!

Mattress took ages to come. Promised me a day and then on the day they said it was out of stock so would come in a month. We had nothing to sleep on for the month. Me and my partner have had to take loads of days off to get it - not good at all. Delivered a side table that was so broken. They haven't emailed me back or taken any of my calls about it. Furious and NO WAY will I ever go back.

Super-king Bespoke Pure Indulgence mattress delivered without a problem. After six months there were significant dips in the mattress (measured by them at >4cm) with a central ridge. Neither of us a overweight or heavy sleepers (ha ha). Rotating the mattress through 180 deg (which you should do every 2 weeks with their mattresses apparently!) unsurprisingly made no difference. Bensons for Beds have put the fault down to us and are not interested. Recommended only if you like to climb over a ridge to get at each other.

Very helpful service in the Kings Lynn store. The delivery date was on my paperwork and I received a text message as a reminder of the date. On the day i got a message to say it would be delivered 4 days later. I phoned the delivery people whose attitude was tough thats the day we are delivering. I phoned customer service waited 20 minutes then got cut off. Phoned again and when it was answered got cut off before I could speak. Finally got to someone who went to help. When someone came back it was a different man who had the attitude that it was my mistake! After spending nearly 2 hours on the phone trying to resolve the problem and arrange a delivery on the next Saturday so I didn't need to take another days holiday I lost it. Finally went back to the shop who gave a refund. Dreadful customer service and attitude.

I totally agree I have been trying since 3rd Sept to contact them on the phone for 25 mins first time then rung off 2nd time 39 mins and still no reply I have e mailed them twice and no response Contacted Steinhoffs who tried to help told that Bensons had tried several times to ring me but I wasn't in my phone has 1571 and also lets me know if I have missed any calls nothing was showing it is now 6th and still no contact this is totally unacceptable.

Super King bed ordered with good service in store, happy with quality & delivery date initially. Then phoned & told the end of bed box we ordered at the same time would not be available (4 weeks ago still no delivery date)Then the day of delivery, (I took a half day off work for it) the delivery guys phoned saying they were outside (but were not) took 20 mins for them to understand they had put the postcode in the sat nav wrong. Arrive 20 mins later. Base upstairs, mattress upstairs OK. Then ....... Wrong size headboard in box in van. Took an hour of phone calls where I was being asked by delivery centre if we had got it wrong!!! They then tried to tell me what went wrong, well I dont care, thats your problem, I just want my headboard. Delivery men left, with wrapping, ties and packaging left around the bed, & inside the base. Then the 1.5 hours trying to get through to Benson's Customer service. Who say they cant give a delivery date, didn't apologise and 1 week later we still haven't heard back. The bed was bought with a large deposit and interest free credit. Think I will stop the DD, then see how quick they respond. What a shambles.

Really helpful in store service however the after sales customer care is an absolute shambles. The order was placed in my husbands name and even after my husband giving authorization to speak with me on numerous occasions they still wouldn't deal with me over the phone. On one occasion I rang and they did confirm that authorization has been given to me and spoke to a gentleman at lengths regarding the order. I was then was passed back to customer service after being put on hold for over 45 mins to be then told that there are no notes on file that I have authorization to speak about the order due to data protection laws and therefore once again was told that they couldn't speak to me about it. The man who I spoke with was very rude and was constantly interrupting while I was trying to get my point across who then hung up on me! Yes, he really did put the phone down on me!! Been waiting now for over 8 weeks for delivery of wardrobes and still no closer to getting them it seems. Oh, and if you do ring customer service be prepared for a lengthy wait, on average its taken around an hour to be put through. Absolutely shambolic customer service. Be warned.

Well it is fast approaching 2 weeks since the delivery of our King Size Strength '5' mattress that would not fit up our stairs. Remember I posted my concerns on this blog last week.... STILL no refund in the bank (about £145).... STILL no contact from Bensons.... Not an email, not a phone call, not a letter.... NOTHING.... Their Customer Service office are only open Mon-Fri 9-6, I have tried ringing them from work but my boss got fed up with me after 45 minutes and told me to get back on the line. My wife can't ring them because they will only speak to me. So unless I can have a day off work (fat chance) I guess I am up the creek without a paddle. It's as if I just drifted in and out of their lives and they have 145 quid of mine and I still have no mattress, , they are an utter disgrace to the retail trade. Customer Service.. they do not know the meaning of the word and do you know what ?? There is not a great deal you can do about it because they are at the end of a phone in an anonymous office and don't care because apart from ruining your life they also have your money. My Granddad went to France in 1945 to help fight against this sort of thing. Anyway, all is not lost, a friend has lent us a Futon bed for the time being and I have found the head office address and an email contact for Benson's. Watch this space.. PS... I beg you.. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE...........

Absolutely awful company despite mattress actually being very satisfying, ended up getting the delivery date wrong 5 times, screwing up 2 of my work days and then never even turning up. After sending it to the wrong delivery address twice... they then sent it a second mattress to us. Would highly recommend NOT using this company.

I have been waiting well over an hour now to get through to Bensons customer service have tried all week to be told a 50 minute wait obviously gave up now trying at the weekend on over an hour now walking around with phone no answer after 1 hour 10 minutes to date, this must be the worst customer service ever!! Why are they allowed to conduct in this manner the answer do not use Bensons Beds, if there is any problems you will end up very angry and frustrated with the this company.

Having purchased a bed and after 10 months it falls to pieces advised that I have to pay for a report to evidence it is a manufacturing fault - before they would even consider a refund - and even then once emailing them with the report - you get no response - so trying to call their customer contact number …. waiting for an hour for them to answer the phone - absolutely disgraceful customer service - I wouldn't buy from Benson beds ever again - and I would most certainly will be telling all of my friends ….. don't buy Bensons !

If I could leave less than one star, I would. The waiting time to speak to customer service is currently 61 minutes!!! This company has no concept of customer service or satisfaction. Had a bed delivered, which was damaged, when they sent the replacement, I built the bed, following the instructions, which were wrong!!!! so I was not able to fit it together. Been waiting 3 weeks for second replacement and they can’t give me a date of when that will be. They suggested that I put my 81 year old mother on a camp bed while she stayed with me. I complained to “customer service”, ( I use that term lightly) and the guy argued with me, when I asked to speak to a manager he refused to let me and hung up. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!

Customer service is as poor as their mattress! Purchased a new mattress for £600. With in 6 month the mattress had collapsed at the edges. I complained to bensons a number of times to be told I could pay for my own test of the mattress, however I had to use a tester they approved of. Eventually they agreed to pay for the test, but again only using their choice of tester. The tester came out and agreed the edges had collapsed and their was a massive lump in the middle of the bed. At the same time he said he was sure bensons would refuse the claim, and that their mattresses were just poor quality. As expected the claim was refused. I now wake up each night in agony after just an hour or so's sleep. Please learn from my mistake and go elsewhere.

Bought 2 beds and mattresses in December 2018. By April 2019 one of the mattresses (sensaform 9000) had dipped significantly and the top ticking had bunched and folded so badly that my son was unable to sleep properly and was suffering with a bad back. A FIRA technician reported the mattress as faulty. I was not given the opportunity to change brand of mattress so a second (same) mattress was delivered in June. By August this second mattress developed the same fault and a second FIRA technician’s report also deemed this mattress faulty. I had to call Benson’s customer services as they had no intention of following up FIRA report, they wait for you to contact them, and it takes a long time for them to answer phone. Customer services told me that the mattress would be collected and a refund would be issued the same day. This was a lie, mattress has been collected and after a day spent trying to contact customer services and hours waiting for a callback that never happened, I have now been told that it would take at least 48 hours for mattress to be booked back in before I was offered a refund. It is Friday now so I will have to wait until Monday at least. And son has no bed to sleep in until I get refund to pay for new mattress.
