“AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Honestly the worst company at I’ve dealt with. I looked at reviews of this company before buying but I wish I had ignored the good ones. I ordered a bed 10 days ago, they took 9 days to order it with their supplier. In that time it went out of stock. I got an email just after 9am the day before delivery saying my bed has been dispatched. 4 hours later I get an email saying it’s out of stock. All I got from Bed Factory was a sorry, you can order a more expensive bed and then the awful excuse of that’s how we do business. I’ve been waiting for 10 days for my bed and the day before delivery they tell me it’s out of stock and they’re the ones at fault - if they had ordered it when I had ordered it, I would have my bed. They didn’t care about my complaint, they don’t care about their customers. I wouldn't used this company in the future if someone paid me. I’m now waiting for a refund, to wait even longer to buy another bed from somewhere else. Disgusting company and awful customer service. AVOID.”

“Also know as ijinteriors on ebay! Also know as ijinteriors on ebay! OTTOMAN STORAGE LEATHER BED BLACK BROWN WHITE WITH MATTRESS #113813412036 bought a bed from this company and it had Obviously been used ! NOT brand new as advertised due to mud on the furniture. Disappointed had to file a dispute with ebay to get money back! Then offered £10 to remove negative feedback and blocked me once feedback removed and no refund! Very dishonest seller”

“Appalling customer service and delivery. Gift of the gab when promising things but never materialises. Ordered 2 beds & 2 mattresses for delivery Wednesday. One bed delivered without mattress. Then one mattress. Now Saturday, just received bed and no mattress. Child been sleeping on floor for 3 days. Now told earliest will be next Wednesday for remaining mattress. They are shambolic and can never tell you - accurately - what is happening and promises frequently broken. Be warned. I would not buy from them again.”

“Shameless. I like other reviewers have come a cropper of the horrible service this company offer. Topped by the classic: "Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused by this. Regards, bed factory direct" Ordered a bed 1 month in advance to make sure it would be delivered on the specified day. We are having our old mattress and bed uplifted so everything was set up to happen on the same day. Emailed a confirmation 3 days in advance of delivery to make sure everything was proceeding and got a response saying yes all delivery was scheduled everything good. Then comes the email a few hours later to say no sorry actually we aren't able to make the bed as there's been a problem with the fabric roll. it would take two days to fix (which would be the delivery date. but they wont deliver it for another week after that because of the delivery schedule. That's fine to have a normal delivery schedule once a week for Scotland if you don't have many customers (I now know why) - but if you mess up after my planning a month in advance I'm sorry but BFD it is on you to deliver the bed outside of your regular schedule. next response was: "Very sorry for the delay with this. The 12th is the soonest we can get this to you. We only go to Scotland once a week every Wednesday and if we sent this on a courier it would not arrive any sooner as they usually require 48 hours to scan goods into their depot. Please accept our apologies for the delay" If this is the case then get a new courier. But do not punish me for your shortfalls. So in summary - Unreliable, over promise and under deliver, and totally unwilling to do anything to right their wrongs.”

“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I purchased a mattress from this company in June 2018. Thinking that I quite liked it, I purchased the same one in a different size in October 2018. What arrived was completely different, the first mattress was firm, the second one was very soft, like a waterbed. The second mattress also came with no label or paperwork to prove it's the right one. I asked for a refund or exchange, which they refused unless i paid the courier fees, which come to around £70 - half of what I paid. They sent me the wrong item and refuse to take responsibility for it.”

“The service I received was totally unacceptable, I was given a delivery date and the day before I was told by email that the couriers was rescheduling their deliveries due to delay. I have been in touch with couriers who informed me that they only received my order the day before a couple hours before my email. I was told my order was with the couriers and collected thursday evening then Friday morning then they was not able to see the collection information so could not tell me. I am still waiting for the customer service manager to phone me back in regards my complaint since Friday. The couriers Keen and Able have been very helpful and kept me up to date in regards the collection and delivery process unlike bed factory direct themselves who put the delay totally on the couriers.”

“Persistent failure to deliver on agreed date; items promised on Tuesday were again promised on Wednesday and then Thursday, before being finally delivered on the Friday. Not kept informed about delays which resulted in days spent waiting in for deliveries. Tracking not updated, telephone calls and emails left unanswered, messages not returned. I bought two beds and was offered a ten percent discount on my next bed, as a sweetener. Really, how many beds do The Bed Factory think I need? And reading the reviews below it would appear I am joining a long list of dissatisfied customers.”

“Delivery was moved from a Saturday to a Monday - spent all weekend trying to get hold of the courier - for which BFD provided no help. Support were completely uninterested in helping - and decided to refund me rather than reschedule the order to the following Saturday. All in all, I'm not impressed. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.”

“This company is a nightmare when things go wrong as the reviews show. I ordered a bed and headboard, no problems with communication and delivery. However the headboard was badly damaged when I opened it. The company have taken no responsibility whatsoever for this, saying that it must have been caused by the way I opened it. Anyone can see by the damage that this is not the case, it is stress splits along creases in the headboard, probably caused by the material being put on too tightly. They have a clever way of dealing with things. Their customer service operators are polite friendly sympathetic and apologetic, but totally useless. They promise phone backs from 'supervisors' that never happen. They rely on the customer giving up. I went as far as legal action but the cost is prohibitive so I have now had to also give up. Don't use them, its too big a risk. My bed has now also split but it is clearly useless to try to complain.”

“Bed ordered for delivery today (Friday). I had to call to find out when it would be delivered to be told that due to a forklift accident my bed was not available on the day it was due to be delivered so presumably I would have waited all day with no call to me had I not called. I was offered an alternative in stock and given the impression that it would be delivered today if ordered before 12.15 to be told it would be delivered Monday. I asked for a refund. Shoddy service, poor communication and misleading. I now have to buy again a week later.”

“1 star only because there is not a Zero option! This service has been a joke. Order was placed and when I did not get a confirmation email I called to be told that there was a technical issue but they would manually process the order. Slightly helpful customer service, but failed to deliver as no email received. So I called again and spoke to Jacob, not only did he snigger when I complained, but there was no apology issued - although when highlighted, he said he had but this was not the case. There was not one ounze of empathy or understanding why the situation would be so frustrating. Jacob personally promised to call to confirm the order was placed, no call, no email, no mattress. When I asked for his name, he asked me why I wanted it - after they failed to get back to me initially of course I am going to want a name to refer to. He probably did not want to be mentioned on a negative review! Possibly Jacob is not his name... I am now on my third follow up call, no doubt with long hold times (like the 25 minutes on initial call) - 10 minutes on hold I am through to Jacob again, who remembers the call, says that the order was cancelled because I took too long to put in card details - but I have an order reference number! Well, you can get a confirmation number without the order being confirmed This time I did get a semi apology, but apparently they didn't have a phone number, which is incorrect, and then apparently it was up to someone else to call me .... Do yourselves a favour and not order from this site. My experience seems to tally with numerous other reviews. I just want confirmation that my payment details are deleted so I can order from a reputable company. 3 calls to establish that I do not even have an order placed ... no, I do not want you to re-order, I would not give my money to such a firm - ever!”

“I ordered a studio bed and mattress which were scheduled for delivery on a Monday. The mattress arrived and was fine. BFD then promised an AM on the Wednesday but it failed to materialise before noon and, on contacting BFD they said that they could re-arrange for Thursday (all day) but not AM as they said they could only offer one. The bed arrived at 1pm as I was leaving so I accepted it. When assembling the bed frame, one of the long bolts was x-threaded meaning that I couldn't complete the task. I found the manufacturer (not BFD) on the web and contacted them and a spare arrived the following. They are in Burnley. I will buy from them in future. I did not contact BFD regarding the x-threaded bolt as I feel that they are inflexible in respect of customer service and poorly trained and probably wouldn't know what a bolt is. Just another internet company who pay lip service to customer service and don't think that the carrier is their responsibility.”
