Great friendly service.

From walking into the Sunderland store Marc was friendly and very helpful. There was no pressure for us to buy, Marc just walked us through our options for a new mattress and bed and left us to make our own decision. Marc explained the process for delivery and warranty clearly, which we bought.
A very good experience all round and I would definitely recommend Bensons for Beds and Marc in particular.

Little man syndrome .

My one star review feels a bit wrong because the Bensons for beds online team and both Delivery drivers were exceptionally professional and friendly , and I would gladly give them 5 stars however my 1 star is for their in store at my local Sunderland branch .
We have bought from them before and I wanted the exact same bed for the spare room. Once in store I had to draw the attention of one of the two male staff , one was on the phone but the second seemed to be playing on his phone .
I asked about delivery costs and he said it was £50 , I said that I thought it was a bit steep as I lived local and asked if I could pick it up from store , he said I could but it would still be £50 . I soon realised that the staff member seemed to have 'little man syndrome ' where they have a chip on their shoulder because of their diminutive height .
He explained that I was saving so much of the sale price of the bed, that the £50 delivery fee shouldn't feel like an issue .
As I wanted the bed and really didnt want to waste time shopping around , or buying online , I said I would take it .
He said he would sort the details and I started to count the cash out of my wallet . It was then that he informed me they had no change as no one pays cash anymore .
As my change should have been £15 , I left and ordered with them online , where I had no problems.
In this day and age , when the High Street is dying , you think stores would be happy for any sales , whether its cash or card . After I left , I wondered what people without a credit card are supposed to do .
Absolutely dreadful customer service . Aggressive opinionated little man .By online - Dont go in store !

Really poor customer experience from…

Really poor customer experience from Mark and Darren. Was asking about a mattress and wanted to try a firm instead of extra firm. Sales advisor changed his tune saying I should buy in store rather than online as ths shop will close and he'd be out of a job. I said I want to save as much money as I can. We weren't even talking figures or anything! Asked for the manager to come, he started to try and de-escalate the situation but both of them spoke over us and span the same narrative about buying in store. I intended to buy instore but I'll be going elsewhere now.
