I ordered a mattress and paid the extra £50 cleaning insurance cover. Waited six weeks for delivery. Was scheduled for delivery yesterday waited in and it didn't arrive. Can't get through to customer service and store who sold it aren't too bothered. I wouldn't advise paying for goods in full before delivery. Terrible customer service. Would have recorded no stars.

DO NOT use this company. My Disabled 89 year old mother is currently crying at home, in pain, because she has had to wait over 9 weeks for her delivery which has been delayed and delayed. Now they deliver her bed base BUT NO MATTRESS. IT WILL BE DELAYED FOR FURTHER WEEKS LEAVING HER IN AGONY. Its an absolute disgrace, you cant get through to anyone, no one cares apart from the Sales people in the shop, but after that, once you've parted with your money, and we spent over £1,000, you're on your own and they couldn't give a damn. I am taking this formally through to complaints and trading standards. Oh and in addition, I ordered my mattress and this was ALSO delayed with me having to be in tears on the phone as they halted delivery as promised. CHAOS and mis selling to ordinary people who deserve better.

I ordered a bed frame and mattress on the 4th January 2022 in the Thurrock store with 4 weeks delivery and have now had my delivery cancelled for the 4th time! The most recent being yesterday (25th April) the 4th delivery day when I was told on the day that they could deliver the bed frame but not the mattress, apparently 'the mattress didn't get loaded onto the van' and now I'm told my delivery has been rescheduled for the 19th May 2022. This company is an absolute joke! I'd also like to add that this is my second time buying from Bensons for Beds, the first time being in March 2020 when the wardrobes I had ordered where delivered water damaged, TWICE. Don't bother ordering from them unless you're happy to wait 6 months.

Me+my wife waited in 4 days after we have been given confirmation times and dates,and then told our bed was not loaded on the vehicle. We spoke to so many advisors and got cut off a number of times.AND WE ARE STILL WAITING! My wife is disabled and the service we have received from Bensons and the distribution base is a disgrace.

I wish We had read the reviews on here before purchasing our bed, with it been a well known store I trusted that it would have been reliable. We paid extra for the assembly of the bed, where the drivers left filthy hand print marks all over the light coloured fabric divan, damaged the stairway wall in multiple places and basically ran out of the door before we had chance to even look at the bed, we took pictures and emailed bensons for beds and rang the customer service line, only for the call to be continuously cut off with an automated line stating the lines are too busy, nearly a month later out email was replied to with no definite resolution and Iv now been on hold for over an hour at position 3, Literally as I’m writing this my call was ended! Disgusting customer service and will never purchase anything from this company again and I’ll discourage anyone from doing so

Shocking! Ordered a bed for £2000 at end of January with delivery not until 1st April but was willing to wait as we really wanted the same mattress. Short story…4 failed delivery attempts of mattress (bed came ok) and 3 hours on phone waiting I’ve had a refund for the mattress from the Truro store who I have to say were the only good part of the experience. Have no idea why they work for such a dreadful company!

If I could give this company a zero rating then I would do so. I ordered a new mattress from them on 12th March and was advised that delivery would be on 20th April. Right up until 19th April I was sent texts to tell me that my delivery was on track and that the mattress would be delivered between 7am and 1pm on the 20th. On the 19th I received an email to inform me that they were unable to fulfil the delivery but that I would be advised of a new delivery date within 24 hours. Reading other reviews, as I have since done, this seems to be their modus operandi. On the 20th I received a phone call to advise me that the mattress was stuck in the warehouse in Tewksbury but that it would probably be delivered later this week or by next week. I was told that I would receive notification of the new delivery date by the 21st. Today I received an email to advise that I had requested that my order be placed on hold until 26/12/2050 but that if I could click on a link if I wished to change this date. When I clicked to change, I found that the earliest delivery date is 1st June. I visited the store to request a refund but was told by a man with no customer facing manners that he would have to ask the manager to call me later. In the event I was contacted, not by the manager but by the sales assistant who sold me the mattress. He advised that any refund would be less a 20% admin fee. Since I paid almost £800 for the mattress this would amount to £160! What crooks. They will have had my hard earned money for more than two and a half months by 1st June and there is no guarantee that this delivery date will be honoured. Buy from them at your peril! Do not fall into the same trap that I have. If they carry on in this manner then their days as a store are numbered. Once they have your money, they couldn’t care about customer satisfaction.

Disgusting service. Our Daughter ordered a bed from your store. Waited weeks for it to be delivered but upon arrival the driver got out of the cab to tell them some parts are missing. I'm not being funny but why the hell does it leave the depot when they know pieces are missing . What do they expect them to sleep on when the old bed is gone. My daughter is pregnant and does not expect to be sleeping on the floor or sofa as this is not good enough. Also they never told them it had to be put up by themselves. My daughter has rung numerous times to be fobbed off by your customer service which is absolutely rubbish. She is still waiting for the pieces to be delivered which they keep saying it will be with them on a certain day but then get messages to say its not coming. I don't find this acceptable. It is not good enough. They are alright when they are taking your money off you. One angry parents and daughter .

Original bed purchase good. However, when it was delivered one of the draws was broken, another didn't fit the slot. Several replacements that were not ordered, or deliveries that weren't loaded on the van and 8 months later, we still have no resolution and, as others have said, very difficult to get through to customer services. Please, please go elsewhere when purchasing a bed.

AVOID THESE CLOWNS LIKE THE PLAGUE.......Once they have your money, they are NOT interested. Bed arrived with wrong TV to what it was advertised with ( worth far less than the one suggested), it arrived with holes where there should have been screws in, they reduced the bed by £100 between ordering it and delivering it to me and ignored 4 emails and 2 telephone calls from me about all of the above. The quality is very poor. I have called twice now and waited over an hour having been at position 70+ in the queue. I am currently holding again and have started at position 21 - there is no Customer Service and After care simply doesn't exist. I wish I read the reviews before I ordered - don't do the same.

Very bad experience. I bought a bed with mattress and headboard in-store for a reasonable price in early February 2022 and was given a delivery date six weeks away which I was content with. Three days before the delivery date Bensons sent a text confirming delivery. On the actual delivery day, Bensons sent another text confirming a two-hour delivery slot together with a link to track my delivery. Clicking the link told me the driver had made his first drop and that I was drop number twelve. So far so good. Two hours later Bensons sent another text to tell me they were "pleased to advise me they had rebooked delivery" for three weeks away! They might have been "pleased" but I certainly wasn't! So my bed wasn't on the lorry at all and I doubted if it had even been made yet. I immediately rang Bensons customer service and after pressing options and listening to music on hold, a robot told me I was 98th in the queue. Yes 98th! I pressed option 2 for a callback and after an hour an agent did phone me back but I missed the call and it went into voicemail. The message said to call back on the same number as before so I did and guess what... I was 98th in the queue again. Like before I pressed option 2 for a callback which never came so I called them next morning at 9am when they opened. It rang for a few minutes before I was cut off. Ringing straight back put me 19th in the queue so I hung on and was answered after a 20 minute wait. The agent was very apologetic and at my request offered a refund but suggested giving them another chance for delivery in three weeks time. The agent said if it goes wrong again I can phone for an immediate refund put onto my credit card. I decided to give them this chance but wish I hadn't. At 17:20 the day before the new delivery day, Bensons sent an email saying my goods "will not be delivered tomorrow due to some operational issues we are experiencing in our distribution centre" and said they would contact me again within 24 hours with a new delivery date. The next day (9 weeks from purchase and the second failed delivery day) they sent a text saying delivery had been rebooked for five weeks away (14 weeks from purchase). I phoned again to cancel the order and was 89th in the queue so opted for a callback which came after an hour or so. The agent said I would have to phone the store for a refund. The agent three weeks earlier said I could get a refund by phoning them - so someone is lying. I phoned the store several times without being answered. Fortunately I had paid by credit card and by phoning my card provider I was able to get a chargeback against Bensons so I have my money back. I have wasted more than two months and will now start shopping for a new bed from other suppliers. I will never buy anything from this company again as my experience indicates it is a shambles.

The worst company ever. Bought a bed for £1500 and within 6 months the legs are broken. Told to pay £60 to Homeserve to get a report (pics not enough) After paying 60 and report told I will be sent 4 legs which I need to fix myself. Told them old person, not an expert on fixing broken bed, told not their problem.

Terrible. Wasted two days for deliveries that never arrived, God Knows how long waiting to speak to someone from their customer service/delivery departments and the final insult, I had to go back to their shop physically to get a refund. The sales person at Barnstaple told me that their warehouse in Tewkesbury is appalling and these type of issues are now commonplace. Shame she didnt tell me that when she sold us the mattress.

Ordered a new mattress Feb 11/2022 , delivery was supposed to be Feb 22nd. Delivery cancelled Feb 18th. Next available delivery April 14th between 7am - 1pm , delivery cancelled by email at 9:30 on the day of delivery ! We were told by the distribution centre that they don't know until the day of delivery if there is room on the van ! So after waiting for 9weeks it's anyone's guess if we will ever get our mattress ?

0 would be more accurate score. I placed an order for a mattress and bed back in December and it was ready for delivery in February. I rearranged delivery for the 29th of March but it took until the day of delivery for the driver to ring and say he only has the mattress 😡 I accepted this delivery and after 4 and a half hours on the phone to customer services I was then told the bed was due for delivery on the 6th of MAY 😡 after going to the store to say this is not acceptable she managed to arrange a delivery for today on the 14th of April. Now to my disbelief the delivery driver again arrived with only half of my bed (2 boxes out of 4). I told him NO don't bother and take it away. Another 12 mile trip to the store to complain again, she phoned me later today to say the next available date in my area is 26th April. 3rd time lucky maybe or just another attempt of a part order delivery. I guess I won't know until the day of delivery from the driver. BENSONS FOR BEDS THIS I TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND MY ORDER SHOULD BE SENT IMMEDIATELY AS A PRIORITY. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE???😡😡 I can't keep taking time off work for a delivery that doesn't happen. VERY BAD PRACTICE FROM YOUR SIDE. People, buy at your own risk but I you still do after reading this then don't be disappointed if you have the same trouble I have. Currently sleeping on an old bed in the spare room, shoulder and hip in pain every morning (hense the reason for the new purchase) I've tried to earn you all here - good luck, I certainly need it 😡😡
