Disgusting company. Disgusting service. Damaged goods that they are not interested in. Avoid at all costs.

If it was possible I would not even leave 1 star. I had ordered a sofa bed under the guise of guaranteed Christmas delivery, only to receive an email a few days ago that it would now be delivered on the 27th December. This is despite the fact that it was still being advertised on the website as guaranteed Christmas delivery. I then had to hold for 30 minutes before I could even speak with a Customer Contact Agent who clearly had no intention of wanting to help. I was simply told that I could have a refund, there was no attempt to work on a solution and even look at what other stock they could get to us before Christmas. At best it seems false advertising, at worst fraudulent, and has now left us in a position where it will be almost impossible to find an alternative. The internet sales team has not even had the courtesy to call me to discuss as I have requested via email several times.

It was very bad experience !!! I've bought a few beds and mattresses from Bensons but in some time I wanted to change one mattress because we've realized that the mattress is too soft and not at all the same as we've chosen in the store. I came to the store to check again to be convinced of this. And everything turned out exactly as I thought. The difference was significant between the example that was in the store and the one that they brought us home. As manager Bensons explained to us, we cannot change anything even with a surcharge (I suggested to change it to some more expensive option) since the deadline for such a request has already expired. I explained to him that we were moving and therefore did not use the mattress and opened it around four weeks ago. But he said that this is our problem... And that’s it !!! I will write the worst Google reviews about Bensons and will never recommend to anyone to contact them.

I have bough a pillow from the company ( The price for the pillow is 59 pounds, so will probably be the most expensive in the shop). Only to have pillow deformed and lost it's shape completely in less than 2 weeks. Went back to the shop and shop assistants have recognized that the pillow is faulty. Based on that i requested a refund. But have been told they can't issue refund due to hygiene reasons ( what kind of hygiene reasons? It's a faulty item. You are guys not planning to sell it again, are you? ). Redirected to customer service. Never seen customer service as useless as this one, they are there to fob people off, not to solve your problem. Asked to speak to the manager, they would not let you. Asked multiple times about the ways to escalate the issue, no answer so far.

Delivery made within time slot with 5 minutes to spare bed well packaged , no assembly instructions and they failed to supply the matress protector that we had paid for, apparently you need the protector to use the matress 90 day try out /return policy. Could do better

I was delivered a damaged bed & reported this straight away, that was 10 months ago. it has taken me to go to the furniture ombudsman to get traction and even then a further 5 months of chasing to get a refund (they refused to give me a replacement) and the faulty goods removed. Despite being out of pocket they refused any form of compensation as well. I have been surprised at just how bad their customer service is and they have put me through 10 months of hell. Do NOT use them - honestly atrocious at every stage. They could not have cared less

Customer service is shockingly poor. They care not a jot! If you’re doing your research (like I wish I had) stay well clear! Spend your well earned money wisely and with a company that will take responsibility if they mess up.

Very poor service I called a week prior to delviery to ensure everything was going to be delivered on time? Took a day off work for the delivery for the van to turn up empty! After calling customer services twice and waiting a total of 4 hours i find i have to wait another entire week for delivery and when i asked if they could compensate me by adding assembly i was told i would need to wait another month. So im waiting another week, need to take another day off work and all i got was...sorry

They don't give you a delivery time until you have paid. They sent an email that clearly said they are open for calls on Sundays and they are not. Because they did not give me a delivery date (31st December 2050!!!) I cancelled the order at 8 am on Monday. It was followed by a phone call at 11 telling me delivery was next day! I got an email at 12.15 to say the third party supplier would be in touch with a delivery date. This was 2 days after I placed the order. I got another call at 3.30 to ask if I was cancelling. Just useless . I also logged into my account and the order was not there so I couldn't cancel online.

I am annoyed i have to put even 1 star. Incompetent, rude and argumentative. Spent £2000 on a product that is faulty. I asked them to resolve this issue and sent pictures of the exact issue. they then requested pictures of mattress (problem is with the bed its self) and they asked for more and more things. I explained i had sent lots of images and explanations yet this isn't good enough either. I was refused when i asked to chat to a supervisor or manager then i was told i had to speak only with this person who was rude and wouldn't listen. please please never buy anything from bensons for beds!

I arrived home a few hours after the bed had been delivered and assembled by benson for beds.The bed is very poorly made. It had steel staples protruding from the headboard and when I inadvertently grabbed it to move , punctured my hand. Also, there is a rip in the fabricIt is near impossible to get through to customer services. I would avoid if I was you. Wish someone told me before I bought there...

Absolute disgusting behaviour from the company and the customer service team... 1 year old mattress is sagging and dipping more than it should... they have con my family out of money for this mattress that they are unwilling to give an exchange on... also has a 10 year guarantee... they have claimed our bed slats were not suitable for the mattress... it’s ridiculous... no where states or no one said to us when buying the mattress that the 10 GUARANTEE would be invalid if the slats were too far apart for “their” standards... if we had known we would have made precautions to protect the mattress... but yet it’s the top of the mattress that is dipping and sagging.. not the bottom.. it’s terrible service.. should not be happening to a 1 year old mattress... they will use any excuse not to exchange or to stick to their word... as I can see the other reviews.. I’m not the only customer who thinks so ..

Split wood staples hanging out all over damaged bed base and the other bed damaged . Poor quality build very weak . After spending 3k at the Orpington branch. We are none the wiser on how long we have to wait been 5 weeks already told we are in a que and they can not confirm the call or dates as email broke????? ..Still don’t know when we are getting them what a Joke !!

Can only add to the other abysmal reviews of this company, bensons for beds are truly shocking. Same issue as many other reviewers: mattress sinking hugely, and bensons for beds using their 'it's been 6 months so you'll have to pay for an independent (LOL) inspection' excuse (not anywhere in the guarantee nor literature, and they openly state they don't have to tell you this part), where they will ONLY allow homeserve or Ecomaster to inspect. Not independent engineers at all, and what the engineer tells you is different to what the report will say when they send it in to bensons for beds. Stay well, well away from this company - the shop staff are genuinely lovely and helpful, however if there's any kind of problem the so-called customer service department will do everything possible to get shot of you. £800 down the drain for an 8 month old mattress that has been rotated and flipped as per their instructions (weekly for the first 3 months!!!!) and all we got back was a snotty email (thanks Qamar Zamir) blowing us off. Even an article in the guardian newspaper highlighting the disgraceful customer service, and how I wish I'd read up on this company as well as the mattress manufacturer before buying from them. This review will be buried soon, so if you've made it this far you'll already have seen the numerous newer reviews that don't stop coming in, that should well and truly serve as a warning not to buy from this clownshow of an outfit. Forced to give 1 star to be able to leave this bensons for beds review - let that sink in.. the awful rating they have now is as a result of numerous 1 star reviews that have actually bumped it UP artificially, due to us being unable to leave 0 stars!!
