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

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.

I have the similar issue to Denise below-the divan base top (cheap thin hardboard) is starting to sag. In a reply to my complaint that could have come straight out of an episode of Minder Bensons suggest this may be due to self assembly (I actually paid them to do it) or the euphemistically phrased usage patterns !!! (If only, but those days are behind me now) and suggest I might like to cough up £100 to have it inspected. (They absentmindedly forget to mention that bit before you buy). So be forewarned give these Arthur Daly types a wide berth and try your local bed shop instead. Wish I had.

Deserves 0 stars. DON’T order from this company ! I have had my order cancelled 5 times and each time been told to contact them for a new delivery date. On my 6th delivery date you haven’t cancelled and haven’t shown up or delivered my order. Just no contact ! Countless failed promises! The company is a mess! Advised I do deserve compensation of a certain figure and then told by another employee I can’t have this. Advised managers we’re going to call me each time they have not! My emails are now being ignored! This company have my money and are not delivery my order! This is the worst services I have ever received!

I'm curious as to what Bensons for Beds considers a guarantee? I emailed to discuss an issue with our mattress sagging where slept on only, despite regular rotation, only to be told that I need to put myself out of pocket in order to prove its a problem with the mattress and not something we have done. Other than sleeping I'm not sure how else we could be held accountable. They are prepared to refund up to £100 of the review but being based in the North of Scotland this could potentially cost me so much more just to get a report that there is a possibility Benson for Beds won't take accountability for. Why offer a guarantee if you have no intention of seeing it through? Strongly recommend that you buy a bed elsewhere with a guarantee that will be honoured.

Not even worth 1 star. Still waiting for my refund it’s been over a year. I’m even willing to take a reduced sum because I want done with it! The reduced sum is because they did something wrong on their end with Cashbooks and made a mess with Creation and apparently it’s down to me so sort it. Raging. It’s been 3months since and haven’t heard anything! So I contact them and my refund owed. After being on hold for over 45mins, I get through and get told I have to PROVE I have paid my finance in full and to contact Creation for a letter. ARE.YOU.TAKING.THE.MICK?! A YEAR. It says it in my call notes what the story is, Creation have communicated through Bensons that I have over paid! There’s so many recorded conversations, but rather than issue me a partial refund (-37.99) they’re making me jump through even more hoops. Twice before they offered a reduced refund there and then on the phone without a mention of proof (as it’s all there on my account) and we said no, can’t believe how unprofessional and dysfunctional this company is!
