Efficient and friendly from the moment we entered the store
Brilliant service from the moment we entered the shop. Odette answered our questions, directed us to where we needed to look and left us to choose. When we asked for her help she was there, no fuss, no bother, just a smooth transaction. Mattress ordered, date for delivery chosen, all so smoothly. We were kept informed by text to say when to expect it, on delivery day the driver phoned to say what time he would be here. Mattress arrived, the guys covered their shoes on entry, carried it to bedroom, placed it and all was done. I would highly recommend this efficient, friendly service.

Great experience. Buying a bed is such a difficult thing to get it right. Thanks to Zared who made it far less difficult. So knowledgable . He pointed us in the right direction, didn’t crowd us when trying and discussing all the different components we needed to suit us. So much to choose from. Zared you were great, thank you.
