Thanks so much for your wonderful review! 😊
We’re really glad to hear you had such a positive experience in your local Bensons store. It’s great to know the manager took such good care of you — no pressure, just friendly support and plenty of time to find the right comfort level.

We love hearing that the team adjusted the settings while you tested the mattress until it felt just right. And it’s lovely to hear all the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

If you need anything at all, we’re always here to help.

Great service from sales to delivery and installation

From our initial visit to Bensons at Metro Centre Retail Park and the assistance from Louise in choosing our bed and mattress to delivery and installation, we have received first class customer service. Louise was knowledgeable and helpful, we were kept updated on delivery at all times, delivery was prompt and the two delivery drivers/installers were great, they removed their boots while indoors, quick to install (remote control ottoman bed) clear instructions on how to use, cleaned up and removed old mattress. Very happy with the whole experience. Thank you.

Brilliant customer service throughout

Brilliant customer service throughout!
The experience of being in the store was great. Angela looked after us, very friendly and non-pushy. She listened and understood what we were looking for, I think she knew were keen to be "in and out", buying a bed for a spare bedroom. It was simple and straight forward.
Communications from the company after we'd bought it were consistent, keeping us informed on when to expect delivery etc.. Email and text.
Delivery day - icy and freezing conditions - Rob and Steven were brilliant! They rang me first thing asking if they could arrive ahead of schedule as they'd had a cancellation - which was perfect for me. On arrival they were really friendly, despite it being like an ice rink outside, brought it in and took care manoeuvring very large objects around the house, upstairs into the right room, taking their shoes off without being asked. (Brand new carpets down so really appreciated that!)
Also very happy with the bed. Easy to follow instructions and good quality.
Thanks very much!
Would definitely recommend and will use again.

Great Experience

We visited most of the retail shops who sell beds/ furniture and found Paul at Benson’s to be fantastic - we were approached after we’d started looking, which was really nice rather than being approached immediately. He helped us narrow down our search for a bed frame and mattress, provided us with enough information to help us look and make choices but not overwhelm. He spent time with us understanding what was important to us and would benefit us. He checked in with us occasionally, to check if we had further questions or wanted any further information but didn’t stick with us all the way around the store. This was perfect, not over bearing, a perfect mix of information and space to talk between ourselves and look at products. We left the store to look at other shops, we returned a little while later with the price points/ deals but also the good customer service in our mind. We left with the best deal including upgrades to what we’d expected/ set out for and we are very happy with the whole process.
I would recommend the store just for feeling no pressure, ease of shopping, good price points and knowledgeable staff. The full team were approachable, friendly snd really down to earth.
