The customer service was poor

The customer service was poor, despite telling the salesman that we need a small van to go through our driveway, the large lorry was sent, as a result the mattress was delivered one week later. The overall wait was 3 weeks. No apology not even a phone call to say sorry, absolutely nothing. For an expensive item like this the delivery cost should have been refunded. Will not recommend the company to anyone

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the experience you’ve had. You made it clear to the salesperson that a small van was required for your driveway, and it’s extremely disappointing that a large lorry was sent regardless. This understandably caused your mattress delivery to be delayed by a week, extending the total wait to three weeks — and I’m very sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
We will ensure your feedback is passed on to the relevant teams so that this can be reviewed internally — both the delivery vehicle error and the lack of follow‑up from customer service.
If there’s anything further we can support you with, please let us know. We’re here to help and want to make things right wherever possible,

Helpful and straightforward

Helpful staff provided information on bed frames to help make a decision and guided the process of selecting a mattress. Got some extras to qualify for a discount.

Great selection and service

We were looking for a double bed for my daughter and found Bensons to have a great selection. Once we chose the bed Hannah in Sales helped us find the right mattress for her, taking time and patience to make sure the correct one was purchased but not overwhelming us with too many choices. The sales team were all friendly and polite and Hannah was great!

Simply The Best

Hannah the Sales Advisor was simply the best. She listened, searched and found the perfect beds for our needs especially for my husband. What a refreshingly honest person to deal with no pressurised sales technique. Very professional and friendly explaining ever detail about the products. Bensons for Beds was the local store for us.

Good choice, and helpful staff. Delivery was good, only would have been helpful for them to take the packaging off the mattress for me.

From walking into the Straiton showroom …

From walking into the Straiton (Edinburgh) showroom, I have had a great experience with Bensons. Kevin and Hannah in the showroom introduced themselves, answered my questions and allowed me time to try out mattresses. They were easy to chat with whenever I approached to ask questions. I bought a pure splendour mattress and, so far, it's perfect. The quality is the best.

Outstanding

Walked in the door knowing more or less what we wanted.

Greeted very quickly by Hannah. Very professional and polite. Gave her a quick run down of what we were looking for.

Without hesitation brought over to mattresses that might be what we were looking for. A few alternatives just to compare and back to the original suggestion.

Managing all this with a 2 year old wasnt easy, Hannah was great and didnt let this phase her, distracting the wee man where needed and helping us to relax.

Quick service without feeling rushed.

Couldn't recommend them more.

From the moment I walked in

From the moment I walked in - greeted by Tom who helped me from then on. Already had a bed in mind and he showed me it, gave me 10-15 mins to think look and then came back to see if I needed more help. He showed me all different headboard option and was very very helpful. Even managed to knock off some money. Cannot recommend him enough and the team there. Very friendly guy.

Thank you

From purchase to delivery

From purchase to delivery, everything exceeded our expectations. In store, Peter guided us with great care in choosing the most suitable mattress for my back pain, and his advice was excellent. He also helped us select the bed, which was made by one of their external partners, and the quality is fantastic.

The delivery arrived earlier than expected, which made us so happy. Now we have a beautiful bedroom set with a stunning bed and an incredibly comfortable mattress. We couldn’t be more satisfied and would highly recommend Bensons for Beds.

Great mattress, great service.

We were on the hunt for a new mattress and found the service from Peter at Bensons for Beds excellent.

We spent a long time trying to decide which mattress was best for us - Peter was very patient, giving us all the information we needed to help us decide, but without ever being pushy.

We had previously visited other stores and his service really stood out from others, ultimately leading to us making a purchase

We are delighted with our new mattress and would highly recommend Bensons for Beds.

Impossible to cancel: Store closed for holidays & Customer Service refuses to help

I placed order A8435857 on 20/12/2025 at the Edinburgh Straiton branch.

According to Clause 4 of your Terms & Conditions, I have the right to cancel free of charge within 7 days. I contacted your Chat Support today (21/12/2025) to exercise this right.

Your agent, Michael, refused to process the cancellation, insisting I must contact the store directly. However, the store is closed until the New Year for the holidays.

By forcing me to wait until the store reopens, you are physically preventing me from cancelling within the 7-day penalty-free window. This feels like a deliberate trap to charge the 20% fee later. The agent refused to provide written email confirmation of my request despite me asking for it explicitly.

I have sent a formal cancellation notice to your enquiries email in accordance with Clause 17 of your T&Cs. I expect a full refund and confirmation immediately.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused and want to reassure you that your cancellation request has been logged within the 7-day window. A full refund will be processed, and the Edinburgh Straiton store team will contact you as soon as they return after the holiday period to confirm everything. We appreciate your patience and will make sure this is resolved promptly.

Thank you,
