Purchased a bed 2nd week of January and given a date of the 4th March for delivery. We have received 4 texts confirming bed would be delivered on the 4th March as promised. We have painted the bedroom dismantled and sold my daughters current bed so she now has no proper bed to sleep on and my wife as taken time off work to be here for when the e bed was due to be delivered only to be called the afternoon before saying the bed wasn't in stock and they can't confirm when it will now be delivered but the system will be updated over night and a new date provided and they will call to confirm in the morning 4th March. At 15.43pm because I still hadn't heard anything as never got a call had to chase them again after waiting ages for a member of staff Nicola to eventually pick up the phone to be told the bed did get delivered to them on Thursday 3rd March but missed their delivery van and delivery to us now won't be to us until the 14th April another 6 weeks time approx. Explained not good enough and promised by Nicola she would call me back today once she has spoken to distribution and again and surprise surprise no call back. The man who sold us the bed in the first place in Reading is a credit to the company - the after service is shocking do not use BENSONS if you expect a half decent service or what you have paid for to be delivered on time. I have asked Anthea on my call yesterday for financial compensation as my wife has lost a days work and she said they will look at this once the bed is delivered so anybody else who experiences the same service make sure you get something off the price you paid if the bed ever turns up.

When you buy a bed from them they are all smiles but when there is a problem the branch where you purchased it from just pass you on the customer service department. When you phone that you are about 38 in the queue and when you finally get there they say that they can't solve our problem for 7 to 10 days. Great when you've paid out over £1000. They like your money when they get it they don't give a damn. Shoddy pr. Disgusted 🤬

Ordered mattress with 8 week delivery date. Received 2 SMS messages saying order on track. Further message confirming delivery date. Delivery was due to be Monday for which booked day off from work. Received voicemail Saturday prior to delivery date saying mattress not even in stock. Called Benson who are not able to give me a new delivery date and offered £100 Benson voucher or £50 back on my card. Hopeless!

Very poor service at the Peel Centre Gloucester. Walked in, said what mattress I was looking for handed some tissue to put on a pillow, help yourself, they are labelled. Not once did he leave his chair to help, advise or ask questions. Absolutely useless. Instead I said thank you and went next door to spend £1000.00 with someone who obviously wanted my custom and was so helpful unlike the idiot you have managing the shop.

Paid deposit for bed. Arranged to pay the balance over the phone to customer service. Payment showed on my online banking. Bensons said the payment was declined. Numerous phone calls, screen shot of statement bank authorisation code forwarded. They still couldn’t process the payment. 5 days later payment still showing as pending bank says the problem is at Bensons end. Spoke to the manager at the Kilmarnock store who advised I should never have contacted them it should have been the store. They didn’t make me aware of this policy when they took the payment. So I’m left with no bed and a pending transaction that doesn’t seem to be processed. Got a different answer every time I spoke to a different adviser. Do not waste your time and money with this crew when I get my money back I will not be shopping with them ever

Terrible customer service have paid for my bed and customer service say payment not received trouble at their end ! 6 days later still no resolution payment pending lost my slot for delivery! No bed and cannot access my money back as still pending ! Absolute disgrace no one acknowledges any emails saying will phone back and don’t! Do not buy from them they are a joke! Take your deposit and don’t deliver! Kilmarnock branch disgrace customer service!!

We ordered and paid for a Superking Divan bed. Day before delivery we had a local charity uplift our Kingsize bed. When delivery men came they could not get mattress up the stairs. When we went back to Uddingston branch, we were handed a measuring guide leaflet for the first time. It would have solved our problem ever happening! Unfortunately, the outset is that my 6ft 7inch partner is sideways in the spare room bed while I am on a borrowed single mattress - not a good idea for an over sixty year old crippled with arthritis! Hoping for a promised loan bed on Monday, so I can at least get a decent sleep. BforB are now ordering a split mattress to be delivered with the Kingsize bed and, to be totally honest Linda and Heather have tried their best to resolve the situation and been very helpful. However, there is an extra payment for the split bed and all this hassle should have been prevented if we had been given the measurement information and told in detail that there may be a size issue!

Two beds and a mattress purchased, both beds either faulty or missing parts. Initial customer service rep tried to advise manufacture fault was not covered by warranty (lol stop drinking before work)...Additionally, 3 months wait for the second bed to find missing parts on delivery, even the instruction manual was missing a page. I'm past the level of anger to the point its actually funny to have experienced service this bad, and to have paid for it. Just waiting on the springs to go and impale me while I sleep. Thanks Bensons For Bed!!

So fuming. Bought a zip and link bed for delivery in January. They turned up with two right hand bases so the headboard wouldn’t screw on. Waited 5 weeks for a left side one to be brought today. Gets past the time of delivery and my husband checks the tracker to find it’s been signed for by ‘Ruth’. Some cheeky cow has stolen our bed and this cowboy outfit has delivered it to the wrong address. We now still don’t have the right piece after paying £2.6k for the mattress, base and headboard. It’s so upsetting. We won’t ever be buying from them again.

The worst called customer service EVER experienced. After 6 postponed deliveries eventually thought we were getting our bed today. Dismantled old bed, cleared bedroom, Guess What?? An sms message saying bed NOT being delivered and no date mentioned for ANOTHER delayed delivery. Now have to re-assemble bed, hump heavy mattress around and totally NO offer for any sort of compensation, apology. DISGRACE!! what a bunch of incompetent wasters!!

Do not buy from this cowboy outfit. If you are unhappy you have to pay for an "independent" inspector costing you £100. My mattress was only a year old when the springs went & made so much noise was impossible to get any sleep.

Mattress should be med to firm , it is soft , you just sink so uncomfortable, I have a damaged spine , they are not interested at all in why your not happy , they do not want to speak to you until you have had the bed 40 days , then to change , you have lots of extras to pay . Absolutely disgraceful company, it appears you have no rights something needs to be done to this company, to stop others from wasting their hard earned money ..

Absolutely disgraceful company !! No customer service at all 20% handling charge ( that was covered in an email that you don’t receive until after you have left the store!! ) on a bed that the manager assured us was suitable and would fit after explaining we had already had to send another bed back to a different company ( that happily took it back no charge !) Costing us £550 to end up with no bed !! Never ever ever buy from this company absolutely disgusting company !!!!

A bed only 14 months old and the mattress is dipping. The technical that came said it was not dipping enough to worry about. He did this by laying on it for 2 mins and putting a piece of string across the bed! He should lay in it for 8 hours and see how his back feels in the morning. Terrible customer service. You expect it too last longer than 14 months seeing as they suggest you change your mattress every 7 YEARS!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY COZ AFTER SALES IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL

Awful customer service. They don't reply to emails. I have cover for my mattress that means it should be replaced if not suitable for me. It is not a good mattress and I wasted my money on that along with the insurance cover. Never buying from this company again they are appalling.
