We wanted two 200cm single beds and were assured that one ones ordered would be 200cm. We ordered two bed’s and again checked this would be for 200cm length. But the information we were given said they were 190cm we phoned again that evening and was conferred a second time by phone they would be 200cm. We contacted their customer services who told us they would ensure the order was marked as 200cm. A follow up e-mail produced a guarantee of refund if not 200cm. When they finally came they were 190cm. The currier us what they should have done was ordered the beds as a special size but both had just used a stock number in the order. The shop refused to repay the money owed until the beds in there their delivery van were returned to the warehouses. A refusal maintained by customer services and again by the shop midday on Monday finally after getting rather angry with the shop they did repay on Tuesday, which took until Thursday to get back into our account. This is an appalling firm staffed by people who appear to not know what they are selling, with a customer support who don’t know the processes fallowed in ordering beds. To rub it in refuse to promptly refund payment for goods not actually delivered There was no offer of compensation for all the stress caused by their poor service just more stress added by having to fight to get the refund.

Very poor response from 'Bensons For Beds' Customer Services - long wait (30 minutes) to get through by phone. When I did get through I was promised a call back the next day by a manager, which didn't happen and hasn't yet happened. Subsequent email has had no response for a week. Their automatic email response says, "We will respond to your query as soon as possible, however, we are really sorry, due to current high volumes it may take us a little longer than normal to email or call you back". No indication of what is normal response time, and assume the 'current high volumes' are due to many dissatisfied customers.

I am absolutely appalled with Benson Beds, despite being advised a 6 week lead time, I waited double this with NO explanation, only advised on the due date of delivery that goods were discontinued. When goods eventually arrived, low and behold the item was faulty!!!! DO NOT USE BENSON BEDS

The item that you delivered was second hand and the wrong product in the right box. To contact customer services by telephone took over 38mins, how can this be described as customer SERVICE. The gentlemen named Ramesh said he would sort this and we would get a text blah blah blah. 3 days on no text, nothings happened at all. Have tried to contact the store using the phone nos on the receipt which just rings out, so presumably customers can't buy anything over the phone either! Of the 4 emails I have sent on the same address 3 have been bounced back by mailer demon. Clearly you don't care about your customers. 4 days on and counting we await your response without hope. Very poor all round it feels like there is no pride in the company or its products and we have no trust in you.

Am I right in saying that which recommends Bensons for beds as I was looking for a new mattress and would like to know the best mattress and Benson for bed came up the reason I'm looking for a new mattress is I purchased a new mattress from bensons in April 2018 and with in a few weeks it started to sink and the springs were grinding I'm only 11 stone I complained to benson and they sent a expert to look at it in the report he said for a mattress this old you expect sinking I said it was four weeks old and benson still would not replace it or I could pay for my own expert so if you are going to buy a mattress do not go to Benson for beds

This company is a disgrace I spent £4500 on 3 beds in August All 3 had faults and or missing parts. They promised to manufacture a new replacement it has just arrived in the wrong colour and wrong model ( November) a complete disaster and still not resolved.

I bought Harlow bed and other furniture and the quality and service is exceptional. It’s one of the best experience to buy such amazing stuff , which I couldn’t find anywhere else

Absolutely disgusting service from start to finish. Took over 2 months to receive a bed and mattress. Took an hour to get through to the customer services. The attitude of the staff are awful. Bought a wardrobe and within a week needed a replacement part and wasn’t fitted properly the second time. When we had a delivery of the bed the drivers just put someone’s sofa on it’s side with no regard to anyone.

Twice now I have been given a delivery date for my bed and both times Benson's have cancelled it for some reason or another. (One reason being, that they'd had a power outage in the warehouse and couldn't find my bed). I have now been given a third delivery date, but have very little faith that this will go ahead. Customer services is a complete shambles. Nobody is really interested, and that's after it takes an absolute age to get through to them after being in a queue for ages. I'll never ever buy another bed from these clowns.

Shocked..... given a delivery slot, took time off work, then had a call saying they can’t deliver in this slot, I called bensons for beds and when The call eventually went through, I spoke to Scott in customer services who just wanted to talk all over me and not listen to the issue! I requested a refund and he said I can’t I’ll just have to wait till it’s delivered, I have to go to work in the afternoon so I said I would like to make a complaint. Scott said you are dealing with customer services and I’m dealing with this!! Don’t buy from bensons, genuinely shocked by the lack of understanding, and rude customer services advisors don’t help!!

Watchdog needs a call. Same as all comments. Bunk bed came with broken pieces. Customer service, pmsl😂. Best joke all year, isn't one. I was even persuaded to take extra cover and it was supposed to cover anything from a scratch. Still waiting for new parts after 8 months and now have been told they don't sell the product anymore. Avoid at all costs, a joke of a firm.

On Monday 15 October I ordered a bed, paid a deposit and set up a financial plan. We were served in the Poole store by Harry A delivery date of Tuesday 6 November was agreed and put in writing in the contract. We were informed we would receive an email and or text to give us an accurate time slot on Monday 5 November. My husband arranged to take Tuesday 6 November off work. At 5pm on Monday 5 November I contacted Benson for Beds in Poole and spoke to Harry to say we had not heard about a delivery slot for the following day. Harry said he would find out and call us back. After waiting and hearing nothing my husband phoned Benson of Beds and spoke to Harry to be told the bed was not being delivered due to a mix up. He said the bed would be delivered on Saturday 10 November. We explained this was not suitable as we had my husband’s elderly parents staying with us and this had been planned months ago and we had made plans to take them out for the day. When we informed Harry of this he said he remembered us discussing this when arranging the delivery date. We were told by Harry the only way we could change the delivery date from Saturday 10 November to another date was to call customer services ourselves. Harry refused to do this. I duly called customer services, waited in a queue for 9 minutes, the phone was picked up but no one was at the other end. I could hear the staff talking about going home, it was 5.50pm. I shouted down the phone but no one spoke to me on the phone, they were too busy talking to each other about their plans for the evening which I could clearly hear. I phoned Benson for Beds in Poole and asked to speak to Harry to be told there was nothing he could do and we needed to change the delivery date ourselves.

Why give people a delivery slot if you can't keep to it 7 am till 1pm a morning off work but no bed has arrived . My husband ordered it but is a teacher so at work and when I've rang giving order number and details they can't tell me if it's anywhere near as yet as I didn't place the order . Bunch of complete twats to say the least I have a Dr's appointment at 3 that I need to attend and can't get a simple yes itl be with you in whatever total joke and a proper bunch of plebs

You take our money but as soon as there is a problem you refer us to customer services. This is the problem you have no customer services. They do not answer the phones, reply to your emails. You get an automated reply, what good is that. DISGUSTING not a word to use lightly but DISGUSTING. I purchased my bed from your shop they should deal with my complaint.

I've written to Benson for beds complaints department about my lack of delivery and have had absolutely no response except for an automated reply saying they had received my complaint. It is now a week later and still nothing. My mattress was delivered five days after intended delivery and the mattress was dirty on one corner because of the ripped polythene which the mattress was in. Benson's do not care at all about their customers. I wish I had read these reviews before my purchase. Never again.

Ordered king size bed & mattress on Sunday afternoon got home with the details and the realized it was 100 mm longer than our old double so wouldn't really fit the space. Tried to call the store for 2 days to change the order (always engaged) to a double & finally got through they said i have to pay a 10% change of order fee so for a smaller bed it will cost me a lot more when i questioned it they said read your terms and conditions. I know that it was my fault but they just wasn't flexible enough.
