This is my second review for said company, back in January we were offered their highest compensation of £30 guess what we are now in March and I'm still chasing this up also our bed arrived without enough screws so we built up the bed with back up screws we had to purchase but surprise surprise we are still waiting for our replacement screws. I can't press enough about how bad this company's customer service is. Please do not spend your hard earned cash with this company.

I have nothing bad to say about the people who work in the shop, fantastic service. The delivery men were shocking, after waiting in 3 and half hours for them to turn up I had to go to work soon as I got to work I got a phone call off one of the delivery men. He said “I’m outside” I said “oh someone will be there in 5 minutes” he then said “arghh, only 5 minutes yeah” In a unpleasant toned voice. I then received a call from my partner to tell me that the men/man practically threw the mattress at him and left. I was told by the sales assistant in the shop that they would take it upstairs for me, which they/he did not. Having delivery men like that have put me off ordering from Bensons for beds again. Safe to say I will not be. Rude and arrogant

I agree with everyone here and also wish I'd looked here as I usually check out every company I deal with but didn't think I could go wrong buying a bed from a big company.the man in store was really helpful and friendly.we were guaranteed delivery was before xmas so got rid of bed day before delivery having phoned to get it confirmed twice that it was still coming.no phone call and no bed arrived. Phoned store &told it was coming a few days later,still no bed. Bed came eventually with no warning ,luckily we were home ,minus freepillows and mattress protector.store said they will let me have compensation but as I have never yet managed to speak to a customer service adviser. About 30 phone calls put on hold then line goes dead.e mails not replied to for two weeks. First e mail said my husband had to give his permission for them to give me details,after which another e mail asking me to give my husband permission to have details discussed. I have now gone through resolver and have been told to escalate to ombudsman Nearly three months and still haven't had one conversation with them the store say it cant deal with after sales.how can you solve anything if they wont talk to you.? Companys a joke

I actually feel sorry for the staff who have to carry out bensons for beds non existent after sales policies. Their 5 year warranty is basically complete fraud. They are never going to actually replace or repair your bed / mattress. It could spontaneously combust and they would be telling you that it was ‘user fault’ or ‘natural settlement’. My advice to all customers would be don’t waste your time trying to get them to replace their shoddy products, just accept that they are a bunch of con men and go and buy another bed from a company that actually does what it promises to. If I could have left them zero stars I would have.

Ok at first, but the mattress developed two troughs where we sleep after three years. The mattress has a five year guarantee so we contacted Bensons. They sent a third party company (FIRA) to assess the mattress. Unsurprisingly the conclusion was 'normal settlement'. FIRA operates on behalf of furnishing companies so has a vested interest in finding no fault - they are hardly independent. Some searching on the internet predicted what the FIRA rep would say and what the results would be. It was exactly as predicted. The guarantee is worthless. We need another mattress but won't be buying from Bensons.

Benson for Beds, please take my advice and avoid that Company like the plague. We bought a Gel Bed costing £1399.00 and I found it uncomfortable from the first day, we thought it was just the newness and decided to keep hoping the gel it would soften. It hasn’t, we went back to their Kirkcaldy shop and spoke to shop assistant Jade (who previously had sold us the bed and said how good they were?) she says, she can’t help? We need to speak to Customer Service, after 1 1/2 of waiting we eventually spoke to a Representative called Stevie, in all my 70 years I’ve never come across some who just spilt rudeness out of his mouth, not giving you time to respond to his driveling. Please DON’T buy from this Company, they’re just ignorant and rude. I look forward to the day they go into liquidation 😜

We ordered our wardrobe just aftwr Christmas and were told 6 weeks until delivery. Now about 8 -10 weeks of waiting we have just received an email to tell us it will be another 8 weeks. We have been coping without wardrobes in our new house for all this time and are discusted by this service.

I wish I had read the reviews on this company. I have been trying to cancel and order as I have found the mattress cheaper elsewhere. The brand was rude, obnoxious and broke the companies strict data protection laws by adding me as a joint customer on the account after the sales adviser 'forgot to do it' on ordering the mattress. I you want to cancel you have to pay 20% not just the deposit but the whole order amount AWFUL COMPANY PLEASE STAY AWAY THEY ARE SO RUDE

Following on from a previous review. Bensons have employed their tame "expert" to assess the the mattress which has collapsed in the centre after 3 months. In order to refute their findings I need to pay out £100 for my own expert. The person on the phone was completely hard faced and unwilling to help. Just desperate to pass the buck. Don't you realise that your goods need to be of merchantable quality and fit for purpose. (never mine your fictional guarantee). I will take this further , but, urge anyone not to buy from them given my experience.

Horrendous service. Would have given 0 stars if possible. Staff members speaking down to us, cancellation of delivery date which was booked 2 months in advance and pushed back a further month and lack of response to queries. Do not purchase from here.

Please do not buy from Bensons for beds unless you want hassle & stress. I bought a 4ft full front open base otterman bed with mattress on the 02nd of February 2019, from bensons for beds in Stockton on Tees. Delivery date I was told was 27 th February. I also paid extra to get it assembled. Unfortunately on the day of delivery they did not have the correct mattress in the delivery vehicle, so I had to wait for the vehicle to go back to their distribution ctr to pick it up, then when they did arrive back they had two left side bases & no right. One side of the base is marked, & both sides of the bases, the material was fraying. Honestly I cannot believe the poor quality of goods & service I received. I went to Benson’s for beds for their Name & good customer care. Honestly I am in shock with the service this so called big company gives. I have pictures to prove how poor the quality of the goods I received. I have been dealing with the store I purchased the goods from & sent my pictures to them, I have been told they have been forwarded to their head office; but not heard anything from above, in fact this company does not care. Absolutely appalled, really bad customer service. I will not be purchasing anything from this company in the future & I will be passing my experience to others. Shame on you Benson’s for beds.

Believe I have been Mis- sold additional 5 years insurance which I neither asked for or want. Lots of offers on at time of purchase inc 20% off certain items & free mattress protector with The mattress we choose. If additional insurance was discussed ? It was done so poorly & in a way that the customer would not understand.. on receiving this additional insurance certificate I was informed that the additional that my so called free mattress protector was part of the additional ‘care & protection’ I had purchased for £50.99!!!! I never purchase additional protection/ guarantees for anything. Told to contact customer service, have emailed them twice, NO response. have rung them twice each time, automated message which states it may take up to 49 minutes for call to be answered but option for them to ring back, did this twice NO call back. Wish I had read others reviews before going to Bensons beds, NEVER EVER AGAIN.

Bought a bed with side tables and drawers, they said it would be five weeks until delivery. On the day of delivery the guy said half of it was not there at the depot (bed missing!) and told us to call customer services which we got tired of waiting. Went into the shop where we bought it and he just sent an email to God knows who and said we should hear back in a day. Of course we still haven't 3 days later. Don't buy from here. They have a system that is designed so you can't get things resolved. I feel like it's a "you'll get it when you get it" attitude SO DO NOT GET IT DELIVERED ON A DAY YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK, IT MIGHT BE A WASTED HOLIDAY. Very disappointing. They made us wait five weeks and don't even bother to let us know it's not ready.
