Patient and helpful sales staff
Patient and helpful sales staff. Delivery was on time and efficient. Time will tell if the mattress I bought is value for money but so far, it's very comfortable and appears to be good.

Very welcoming
Very welcoming. Rita was patient. She ensured I had the opportunity to lay on the beds some multiple times as I narrowed down my search for comfort! I took the feeling away and came back a week after with mental clarity. Laid down on the bed I fell for the previous week and tried same make but different firmness but I made my decision there! Bed purchased! Thank you Rita for bearing with me on my mattress searching journey!

Great experience
Great experience, if it was not for the staff Angi we wouldn’t have bought the beds . She explained and showed us all the beds that we were looking for . Put extra effort to let us take our time to decide and place order. No pressure at all .
We came to get one bed and ended up buying two with mattress. Waiting for delivery

The salesperson took the time to ask what I was looking for rather than simply trying to sell me something. He gave me the opportunity to try out the products on offer and, after listening to my requirements, showed me the available options and clearly explained the benefits of each. His approach was informative and helpful, without any unnecessary sales pressure or excessive sales talk.

The in shop experience was great and we really benefitted form the expertise of the representative in store.
When it came to the delivery the team went out of their way to be helpful as the old mattress was veery heavy and difficult to move and the house design makes it very difficult too. They were very good, but due to the challenges it took quite a bit of time - apologies to anyone they then arrived late too.

If I am being totally honest
If I am being totally honest, the sales person was really trying to up sell throughout our time in store. At no point were we asked our budget or even our needs, the sales person was particularly trying to push a certain mattress and I had to be quite adamant what we actually wanted. The same person then insisted I have a good review and even just phoned me to chase her review on Trust Pilot which I find rather odd! No doubt we will be pleased with the mattress we purchased but the sales approach was not how I would want to be dealt with. The time in store was expeditious but only because it was pushed along by the sales person not because we had limited time. A little disappointing really we have brought from store before and this was not the approach 😔
