Easy shopping

My son and I went to the store knowing what we wanted a Stressless Reclining chair:-
A lady greeted us at the door and directed us to the right department a further assistant found us brochures and samples . The gentleman that had a wide knowledge of the Stressless products was most helpful . Chair ordered job done

Ben at the Ipswich store was super!

We came in looking to buy our first sofa and carpet, Ben guided us through the whole process start to finish, he expertly found us exactly what we were after and we were sold.
Ben then helped us pick a matching carpet alongside James to compliment our new sofa and now they are both in, they look great and are exactly what we were after. James helped us measure our living/dining room up for the carpet and get us booked in swiftly for installation and deliveries. Both made the experience very settling and couldnt recommend them more!

Happy customer

Fantastic service this weekend. Peter was knowledgeable about the range of beds, mattresses and headboards and was patient while I took my time to choose from the many available options. Got a good price on the sale and Glasswells will hold my items until I'm ready to take delivery.

Ben Saunders

Ben Saunders was an example of how to help a potential customer, polite, patient, knowledgeable about the products, and was not pushy, and he is the reason we will come back to Glasswells again.

Impressed new customers!

We are new to the area and had been recommended to Glasswells by friends. It soon became clear for the reasons behind their recommendation.
We were in the Bedroom section where we were served by Peter. He proved to be a very courteous and knowledgeable member of the Glasswells Team. He relayed information on a range of products ensuring our understanding and he responded to our questions in a very clear and relaxed manner. He was by no means "heavy sell" but rather the reverse. Having given us all the information we needed, he gave us time to think and consider before proceeding to complete the transactions with detailed explanations as to next steps etc.
In summary, we considered Peter to be an excellent member and representative of the organisation and we have had no hesitation in returning to him subsequently for further guidance, support and purchases.

Valued Customer Service


Glasswells customer service goes above and beyond in my experience. Staff go that extra mile in making shopping in the store worthwhile that they return again and again and any queries with a product purchase or delivery proactive in their response to resolve the issue/query.

Service with a Smile

Staff were courteous and extremely helpful when I enquired about a particular item of bedding. As they didn't have it in the Ipswich store they went to great efforts to locate the item in another one of their stores. Once it was delivered to Ipswich a member of staff called me to let me know, and when I called to collect the item in question there was a helpful and courteous member of staff to hand it over to me. Excellent service. Thank you.
