My original purchase

My original purchase was made in early February 2026 with delivery and assembly scheduled for 9th April 2026 on first use the drawer bottoms fell out due to no dowels fitted at assembly, I was offered some compensation and a small chest of drawers unit, which I accepted with delivery scheduled for a further 6 to 8 weeks time. At the end of this period I chased this up only to be told, the order hadn’t been placed correctly and I would have to wait a further 6 to 8 weeks taking me up to the end of June 2026, at this point I had decided to assemble the furniture myself due to the extremely poor construction previously, which was agreed by the company. Delivery was due on the 29th June 2026 however on this date the delivery lorry developed a flat tyre, resulting in a further weeks delay, on delivery, the fitters were expecting to assemble the item not having received a message that it was delivery only. On completing the assembly myself I became aware that the wrong size had been delivered to me which meant rearranging my existing furniture to accommodate this, all in all a most unsatisfactory stressful experience.

Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve our processes.

The store has a wide variety of mattresses, which can make choosing quite difficult. However, thanks to Robin, we were able to make a well-informed decision. He was patient, kind, and answered every question in great detail. It’s clear he has a very deep knowledge of mattresses.
I also had a few follow-up questions the next day and called requesting to speak with him. Although he was with another customer, he called me back as promised and was just as helpful over the phone. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
The delivery service was also excellent. Kay and James were courteous, professional, and helpful.

I found the sales woman rather dismissive of my views. After I questioned the shop price to the online price. We eventually found the reason why. However she got very defensive and rather blunt.
I very nearly walked out.

Ask for Sheela

I visited the store to try out and possibly buy a new mattress. Sheela was the lady who helped me in store and not only was she a lovely, genuine lady, she was very knowledgable, non pushy and really helpful. There was a pretty decent range of mattresses in the store, which was helpful. I ended up making a purchase and taking out finance.
If you're looking for a mattress, go and see Sheela-she's outstanding.
