Waited 6 months for delivery of two chests of drawers. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait: Quality very poor for what we paid. Also found their communication was very poor and contacting then was a nightmare.

Extremely unprofessional and poor customer service. Even from the store and staffs , managers, ceo's and customer service team.

Obsoletely shocking customer service. They do not respond to email nor do they answer the telephone. You get placed in a queue behind 91, 84 or 72 other complaints off customers. We have an issue with a mattress, due to the sales rep filling out the paperwork incorrectly we are are unable to obtain a replacement mattress they say we need a base headboard and mattress as it was a set. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. each item was chosen individually to co-ordinate our décor and requirements. AVOID AT ALL COST

shocking customer service would not recommend anyone buy from this company! Tried unsuccessfully to contact customer services to no satisfaction. After sales care does not exist despite spending over £2.5k! Very disappointed and upset

I was 50/50 going to buy from Dreams or Bensons. Unfortunately for me, I opted for Bensons as in-store I had chosen a firm mattress, which felt perfect at the time. I also purchased a stain guard in case it got stained (as they do). Turned up ok and was great until about 6 months later when it started going badly out of shape. It was a twist not flip design so weight goes in middle as expected. I am around 90kgs. The bed has a warranty of 5 years. So after this happened I went into store who said call the aftersales team. I did when I said the issue they said a different number you need to call? It wasn't it was correct they couldn't be bothered. So went back into the store and they emailed HQ with no reply. So again I called and got given an email to send in pictures, which surprise surprise they said 'is within tolerance'. This dip with no weight on they deemed fine via a photo. Also adding that because of the stain (yes I did purchase the warranty), it was void anyway! Seriously, just AVOID this shop 100%. The aftersales is so bad. I am now looking to claim against these jokers. It is not a shop it is a con merchant. Please go elsewhere, they do not deserve your hard earned!

THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE RIPOFF. BOUGHT A SIMBA HYBRID MATTRESS FROM THEM FOR OVER £600 LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER IT HAS A DENT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE MIDDLE (I ONLY WEIGH 11 STONE) SO CAN ONLY SLEEP ON EITHER EDGE OF THE MATTRESS NOW. SENT THEM PHOTOS AND EVERYTHING THEY ASKED FOR AND NEVER GOT ANY REPLIES AT ALL THEY JUST KEPT SAYING WE NEED THIS SPECIFIC INFO, EVERYTIME I SENT IT NOTHING CAME BACK WHEN CHASED IT UP EXACTLY THE SAME REPLY WE NEED SPECIFIC INFO I HAD TO GO INTO THE SHOP TWICE TO KICK OFF AND ASK THEM TO SEND IT. EVENTUALLY, THEY GOT BACK WITH A FORGET IT MESSAGE. I'VE EVEN GONE TO THE HOME & FURNITURE OMBUDSMAN AND SIMILAR THINGS THERE I HAVE HAD TO CHASE THEM UP CANT EVER GET THROUGH OVER THE PHONE AND THEY HAVE SAID FORGET IT. IF I COULD UPLOAD A PHOTO OF THE MATTRESS IAM CERTAIN ANYONE WHO READS THIS WOULD SAY HOW CAN SOMEONE SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT AND FOR OVER £600.... THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BENSONS I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED MY APPOINTMENT WITH CITIZENS ADVICE AND WILL BE SENDING ALL THE DETAILS TO THE SOLICITORS THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO THROUGH MY WHICH SUBSCRIPTION I WILL ALSO BE REPEATING THIS MESSAGE ON EVERY REVIEW SITE I CAN FIND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT A RIP OFF COMPANY YOU ARE.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE - still waiting for the bed that we ordered in early APRIL!! The delivery date was pushed back twice, once for stock levels and then once because they "forgot to put it in the van" cannot be more disappointed / astonished at the service. Diverted to call in to speak to someone and are placed as "caller no.99 in the queue" - probably because every other customer they have is complaining!! Absolute shambles.

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.
