Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 47 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the incredible comfort and high quality of the futons and mattresses, explaining that these items provide wonderful support for daily sleep. Shoppers also appreciate the friendly customer service team and the smooth, prompt delivery process that makes ordering entirely straightforward.

These occasional setbacks caused noticeable frustration for a small group of buyers who expected better overall durability and consistency from their purchases.

Excellent Service

I had a fantastic customer service experience with Peter! I searched for an item I couldn't find directly from the brand. After a few hours of searching, I stumbled upon an e-commerce (Futons 247) store that sold the item and gave them a call. Peter picked up the phone and was incredibly informative and helpful. The purchasing experience was even better because Peter followed up with emails and phone calls. After a few weeks, the item arrived at the store, and Peter kept me in the loop about any issues. He went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the item, taking care of everything himself. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Great service, top quality

Great service, top quality. Always like futon mattress that gives family and myself the comfort and right firmness. Best mattress, especially for someone with back problems.

Waste of money

I purchased two futon mattresses a year ago. They are described to be firm. Shortly after receiving them I reached out to the company and told them they were not at all as described but was assured they would firm up over time. It has been a year and everyone in our family hates these mattresses and wakes up with increased back pain. This has unfortunately been a waste of money. If you are looking to purchase one of these, be aware that they are not firm.

Thank you 'AC' for your review, we are of course sorry to hear that your purchase was not the comfort you were looking for.
The futon bed rolls you purchased are designed to be a firm feel floor use futon in a traditional 'spartan' style, these are not for everyone and each persons search for comfort is different. We would always encourage customers to speak with us first if they are unsure of their requirements so we can help ensure you you are buying a product suitable for your needs.

Excellent quality tatami mat

Very happy with my tatami mat. It's a good quality, natural product, delivered carefully by BJS. Love the tatami smell!
I did appreciate the email from the shop to let me know about delivery and also the updates from the delivery company so I knew when it would be here. Definitely would highly recommend this company!

Happy shopping experience

Peter was very helpful and gave us the confidence to purchase online despite not having seen the item. Communication was great throughout the waiting period and delivery was within our expected time. The item itself is great quality and perfect for the intended use, and we are very pleased with it. Would definitely shop here again.

Very happy customer.

They delivered the sofa bed we bought on time and went the extra mile and put it together for us too. Quality product. Friendly and personable service. Honest and competitive with their prices too. If I was in the market to purchase another sofa bed I would highly recommend. 5stars
