I'm absolutely furious. The mattress my mother bought has been delivered to the wrong address on the wrong date - entirely their system error. We've been on the phone 4 times to customer service, each time having to wait in a queue for 30 minutes before being able to speak to someone. They have all assured us a) first of all that everything was fine and it wouldn't be delivered incorrectly despite the notification from the (useless, incompetent, rude) DX Delivery courier; b) second that they would resolve the situation ASAP and get the mattress picked up and redelivered. It has been a week and this has not yet happened, despite them knowing she is moving house in a few days and needs the mattress picked up and redelivered before then - or else she will be sleeping on the floor for the next month. We will never, ever buy from them again or from any company that uses DX.

I have purchased a kingsized Slumberland bed and headboard from the Scunthorpe branch which has just been delivered. I can't heap enough praise on the excellent manager ,the ordering process, the communications and the delivery men (so pleasant and efficient)

So I paid a 71.99 deposit for a single mattress. The value of goods with delivery was 359.99. This brought the loan amount to 288. When the finance form came through I hadnt paid any deposit and the purchase value was 389. I explained to the manager and arranged for a refund due to the incompetence of the assistant and felt if I hadnt noticed the error then I would have been ripped off by the company. After reading the other reviews I hope I receive the refund.

Placed an order for a bed 16 Oct 2022, waited 4 weeks for it to be made. Delivery van arrived as promised on 16 November but the bed frame was missing. They rearranged delivery for 22 Nov again van arrived on time but half the bed was missing. I was then told it would be delivered on 28 Nov. I spoke to the Cwmbran store who confirmed bed would not be delivered on 28th as they cannot find it in the warehouse. Therefore I have to wait for another bed to be made and as I have missed the last date for Christmas orders it will be 13 January before I know if I will have a bed or another failed delivery. This is appalling service.

Order a mattress at the Cambridge store. Few days after, the changed the delivered date from the 24th November to the 20th of December (meaning next year once they change it again due to Christmas overload). Went to the store and a member of the staff pointed me to the Customer Service, who on the other hand sent me back to the Cambridge store. Once I phone the store to cancel my order, they were impolite and let me know they were upset. Hopefully, I will never have to order with them ever again.

SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE/MISSING PARTS. Same story as most people below. Purchase and sales team great. Aftercare Shocking! They delivered the wrong part (someone elses bed part) and missed one of mine. no problem I thought. Wrong. Called and they said they would come back and swap out the wrong part. Turns out they didnt even load my full order into the Van! Been on hold multiple times for 1.5 hours to fix and still no answer. NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. you will have no bed, messed up orders, or worse, a bed you can even get the whole parts for. Disgusting Customer service.

The back story is that I ordered wardrobe on 8th august 2022. This was delivered to us on 26.10.22 with the WRONG SIZE back boards. We were told to wait another 3 weeks maximum by head of customer services at the time (Kelly Chadwick) as due to YOUR mess up we would NOT have to wait another 6 weeks. I called benson for beds yesterday to chase up (again, this is not my responsibility and I am appalled that benson for beds had not contacted me) to be told the back boards had in fact arrived in the UK on Tuesday last week but nobody had communicated that OR enlighten me as the customer?! I was then told by pro build that the earliest they could provide us with delivery is 6th December 2022. After chasing up your services yesterday and being promised a call back by the new head of customer service (Stacey) which again is NOT my responsibility I did NOT receive a phone call. Absolutely appalling service and I am disgusted with the treatment we have had as a customer. You have already broken benson for beds legislation by going over 6 week period - it will now be 19 weeks by 6th December that we have waited. We will be taking this further and would have thought due to our wait time we would be fast tracked for quicker delivery.

Disgusted and disappointed. Poor customer service. The staff at the store friendly and helpful.. however customer services appalling. Never buy from them ever will never recommend them to anyone. Failed to deliver my items on time 3 months delay I was 8.5 months pregnant and couldn’t move into my home. All they could provide me with was £60 voucher considering I spent thousands with them on 2 beds mattresses, duvets and mattress protectors. Will never be giving them my time again

SHOCKINGLY POOR SERVICE - AVOID! Order was cancelled three times! Third time I contacted the store to make sure we were on schedule - after being reassured (I explained that the order was for a static caravan and many miles from home) we made the unscheduled and long journey to our out of season caravan site - after several hours and as the final hour approached with no contact, I contacted the store to be told not only would our mattress NOT be delivered, it had never been loaded onto the truck! The ease at which we were offered a refund would suggest this is a well rehearsed, familiar process - BTW we have not, at the time of writing this review, received said refund. Very stressful and very unnecessary- looking at other reviews I would ascertain that whilst the in store service there is clearly no guarantee or communication between supplier and seller!

Everything was going so well until delivery day, all messages say delivery between 7am and 1pm with a text with 2 hour window on the day. No text recieved so at 10am rang to check to be told the items are not being delivered today and dont know when they will be delivered. The only reason i found this out was becauase i called or they said i would not of been told. Avoid and order from elsewhere if you actually require products ordered

I had a mattress delivered on Wednesday 2nd November. The two lads were fantastic. Nothing was any trouble. I would recommend the service to anyone.

Sales staff and delivery were perfect, however customer services / after sales support is one of the worst. Faulty mattress and they dont want to know, no replies and stuck in a telephone queue which cuts you off at 30 minutes. Buy their products and just hope they dont go wrong

I urge anyone not to buy from this company. Damaged goods (Identified by their own delivery team), no contact from them whatsoever, no replacement and their support team make no effort whatsoever. Even though I was left with a faulty product, apparently the "Best" they can do was a 10% refund. Stay away.

Customer service is diabolical and they demand emails and then never reply to them. They sold us a complete set. Bed, mattress and headboard. Wishing a short period of time the headboard began to separate. They expect you to pay call out. Then the mattress has more soggy spots so they demand photos with a broom across it. It looks like a shell scrape dug out for Tsing cover during a war conflict. I am an ex vet and my back is smashed. Avoid avoid buying anything from them, they will do nothing to help at all. This is a real review not the fake ones on trust pilot. Spend your hard earned brass somewhere else. My misses is distraught as she has been dealing with it.

I have just recieved my delivery of a Bensons king size bed . The quality of the base is APPALLING , WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO BRITISH QUALITY !!! . The top of the base appears to be either card board or a poor quality hard board under the fabric covering which had broken up on delivery . I think you could poke a finger through the top of the base .

Awful customer service and unhelpful support provided from staff at the Croydon store. I’ve been waiting over 4 weeks for them to sort out their mess with not getting our headboard fitted, every time I speak to someone they seem to shrug off the importance of the matter and keep saying customer support will help me, who don’t bother to give me a call back. I’m then left chasing the store again and again and they offer no real assistance in getting the matter sorted promptly. We’re now three weeks in and still nothing sorted. I would have said it was just this store with the issue but the fact that customer services haven’t also helped me or got back to me in the last 3 weeks is a reflection on the company as a whole - highly unprofessional. Won’t be using them again and definitely do not recommend them.

AVOID - AVOID - AVOID Bought one of their more expensive beds and after 3 months the mattress is sagging down in the area you lay. They sent out someone to inspect it who clearly said there is a fault and he realised what we was concerned about. Bensons phoned us to say that the “engineer” had said that there was no faults found. This is clearly a lie and we wished we had recorded the conversation we had with the person. AVOID THIS COMPANY - BUY ELSEWHERE!!!

STILL WAITING REFUND AFTER 4 WEEKS B5412837/ B5412838 (this is left just in case Bensons do read their reviews and they will know who I am) Appalling customer service after 5 months of consistent issues and had to take 4 annual leave days for non deliveries, damaged goods I returned mg bedbase, mattress & headboard on 6th September and was assured on 7th September on their portal it showed all items returned and was told I would receive a full refund which would be in my account within 5-7 working days no surprise this has not happened and still waiting 4 weeks later even after making 5 phone calls, email sent to CEO and enquiries nothing. Started a resolution with Resolver today 6th October listing my issues with supporting evidence and all Bensons did was send automated email they will respond within 10 working days. This company is not truthful to their customers they do not contact them back and don’t care how much stress they cause the company. I advise people to be aware and read reviews before buying from Bensons they are a disgrace.

Awful! Shocking! Non existent customer service. Ordered new bed and mattress January 2022. Expected delivery May 2022. On the day of the delivery (9am) I received a text to say the bed wasn’t available. Yet 2 days before I had a text with a delivery time slot 🤷‍♀️ and to make it worse I had booked the day off work! Fast forward to July, bed arrives 🥳 however the box was so badly damaged it looked like it had been dropped off a skyscraper and dragged along behind the van. As you can imagine at this point 7 months on I was fuming…. Several days later when I eventually got through to customer services, they told me a replacement would be sorted within 4 weeks. After numerous phone calls, hours spent on hold, September 2nd 22 I cancelled the order. But the finance had already taken 2 finance payments (£82) It’s now October 5th 22 (10 months later) I am still fighting for my refund of £82. The customer service is shocking , they don’t answer the phone let alone respond to emails!! AVOID
