Had an atrocious experience shopping…
Had an atrocious experience shopping here. After expressing that we wanted to be left alone to look over items ( albeit it a bit tersly) the sales person to start screaming and shouting ina unhinged manner leaving me in tears. When we visited Dreams ( where we had a much nicer experience) their staff told us that they had seen several customers who had had a similar experience from who is turns out was the stores manager. It is a bit disturbing that a competitor was able to accurately describe the managers behavior before we had disclosed what had happened. Very much recommend dreams, over Bensons. Would absolutely never purchase from Bensons. I did try to complain via email to the company but heard no response so have had to publish it here instead. ( I will say the female member of staff who greeted us was lovely and likely would have got a sale out of us had we just been left alone to browse)

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the distressing situation you encountered during your visit. This is absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide, and I completely understand how upsetting this must have been for you.
I want to assure you that we take matters like this very seriously. I will be escalating your comments to the appropriate senior management team for a full investigation.
While I’m pleased to hear that one of our team members made a positive impression, it’s clear that your overall experience fell far short of expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly so we can better understand what happened and take appropriate action. We hope that in the future you allow us the opportunity to put this right and make it up to you.
Thank you again for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the upset caused,
Megan at Customer Care

My experience was great because of the person who helped me.
My experience was great because the person who explained everything about the beds to us. Stuart was the only person that knew everything we questioned him about each mattress he was also very polite and extremely patient and there are very few people have time for elderly people as I am and I am 87 it was a pleasure to find someone who was so knowledgeable and I have met many people in my lifetime. Bensons are very lucky to have Stuart working for them and it was our pleasure to meet such a pleasant young man and that is why I bought the bed from Bensons and not the other firms I dealt with.

We were greeted in a friendly welcoming manner by Stuart (if my memory is correct) and due to my disappointment in Templar discontuing the particular type of mattress I wanted he found me a replacement with reassurance that it was exactly the same although a different make manufacture. With an added reassurance that I have 40 sleeps guarantee.
