New bed for grandaughters.

We purchased a new bed, headboard and mattress yesterday for our grandaughters. The service we received in Metro Retail Park Gateshead was second to none. Louise the sales representative was lovely, she was very friendly and efficient she was very knowledgeable and informative about the beds and mattresses. She was helpful without being pushy....which always puts us off. We will make Bensons for Beds our first port of call for any future bed purchases. If we could give 11/10 we would! Thanks again to Louise and Bensons for Beds. 😊

The staff here,especially Jimmy and Martin with one other man ,that was on duty that day,were so professional,smashing,reasonable and they didn't make me feel so strange ,they took out time in explaining and trying to make things easy ,and amicable for us.at least for the very first time,I felt so belong in Newcastle. That sense of belonging was what and was part of what prompted us to have a deal,irrespective of the fact that,yeah BENSONS BED is good,but kudos to the staff professionalism and customers relationships.

I would strongly caution anyone…

I would strongly caution anyone considering buying from Bensons for Beds.

After several visits to store, my husband and I carefully chose a mattress that felt right for us — a big decision as I am heavily pregnant and need proper support.

The mattress delivered is nothing like the one we tried in store. It is far firmer, unbearably uncomfortable, and has already caused me severe hip pain. I am unable to sleep in a safe pregnancy position because of it.

To be absolutely sure, we went back to the store and compared — the difference is significant.

When we raised this, customer service hid behind “process” and sent out a technician who admitted he couldn’t assess the problem. Yet we are still told nothing can be done until his irrelevant report is filed. In the meantime, I’m left with a mattress that is not as described, unfit for purpose, and no support from Bensons.

This is not how a reputable retailer should treat its customers. Common sense and compassion are completely absent, and it has left us deeply disappointed.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear the mattress isn't as expected and is causing discomfort during your pregnancy. We'll look into the matter internally to see how we can help further.

Just Excellent

From the advice in store to our bed being delivered, everything was seamless.

Delivery conveniently came when I wanted it, the guys delivering were lovely and took it to our room of choice.

This is the second purchase in the last year and both of our sons are happy with their new beds.

Lovely friendly staff

Lovely friendly staff, who were so helpful. They greeted us when we first came in. Then allowed us to have time to have a look and helped us when we had questions. They directed us in the right place to find the best matress for us. They had a great choice of beds and matresses all at a good price.
