Terrible customer service
Elderly parents ordered and paid for electric bed and headboard 8 weeks ago delived bed only no headboard. Terrible customer service. The manager of the shop could only escalate by sending email to customer service. No effort made from shop or customer service to sort. Constantly having to ring to get updates which they did not have. No response from official complaint to customer service. Told last week their delivery company was picking it up last week Told today when I contacted via social media collecting headboard today and the company would be in touch next week to organise delivery. A 3 week delay from delivery of bed frame and no further forward. Avoid this company

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and I’m very sorry for the delays and the frustration caused to your parents. We understand how disappointing this has been, especially after waiting so long for the full order to arrive. I can confirm that I have already been in contact with you to discuss this, and the headboard delivery is scheduled for today. We appreciate your patience, and your comments will be passed on to help improve our service,

Choosing a new bed
When we went to choose our new bed and mattress, the sales person explained the various options which was very helpful. We never felt under any pressure to buy and he was very courteous. We returned the next day to buy a new mattress, divan base, headboard and mattress protector

Great service and advice
We called into Bensons for Beds looking for some advice, and that's exactly what we got. Andrew was very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm one of those people that doesn't like being pestered while I'm shopping and I certainly didn't feel like that.Andrew asked us questions about our sleeping habits, he put us on the computer bed then advised us on what would benefit us. We took his advice, even splashed out on two new pillows. They were delivered this week and again couldn't fault the delivery we were kept upto date on time slot, and the men were great, very careful and polite. It was definitely the right advice a lovely comfortable night's sleep. Would definitely go back if I need to purchase a new bed or mattress.

Efficient delivery
Arrived just before the allotted time, having rung me 45 minutes before. (Interesting/amusing to watch their progress on the live tracker).
Friendly crew delivered the bed to the agreed location quickly and efficiently.
