Avoid Bensons memory mattresses. I bought a Bensons Easi-pocket memory mattress 1050 in 2017. We live overseas at least half of the year so it had no more than 3.5 years actual usage. It was comfortable whilst it lasted but it has now literally disintegrated. Whilst mattresses obviously do not last forever, this amount of usage is not exactly impressive - clearly the manufacturing quality is poor. A letter of complaint to Bensons went nowhere, with them pointing out they only guarantee for one year. On this basis, our next mattress will be purchased elsewhere.

They messed up a delivery. They brought the bed in but they took it back because they could not take it upstairs. I had to wait a month for redelivery. They didn't want to refund me my lost time. I will never buy from them again. If you have to buy anything from them don't sign anything at store. Make an online purchase so you will have a right to cancel so you might be treated better. Those guys they just sorry you but they will not do anything to resolve the matter and they will be sending you from one place to another to discuss it which will give you anything back

I called multiple times and had multiple issues with delivery, but nothing was offered in compensation. I was a month without a bed due to their system errors! Their processes are shocking. Do not shop here.

The worst company and customer service ever. The delivery lasted about 40 seconds, with one guy trying to carry the bed upstairs on his own while the other one was not even bothered to enter the house. Having the box thrown over his shoulders like a Terminator, he stuck halfway through. Without thinking decided it couldnt fit, started taking photographs to prove his inability to deliver and shut out of the house, taking all the goods. We tried the shop, customer service to ask why they had taken it away. The answer was " We do not know". We tried to reschedule the delivery- another month to wait for the goods that we are meant to pay over 3k for, which are ready, but happily travelling around the Great Britain instead. The shop assistant rude and not willing to listen, the customer service incooperative. Once we said we wish to cancel as you have failed to deliver the goods that should have been left in our house, we wete told we must pay £600 for restocking fee. Absolutely appoulling! This is utterly your failure! Is this your company's "policy" of earning additional cash charging people 20% for failing to deliver goods and services? Is it your custum to pretend that you cannot fullfil your duty? I seriously do not understand why you have taken the goods without willing to communicate to leave them with us and now demand the 20% cancelletion fee?! Disgrace!

I Brought an eve hybrid duo plus mattress i was told delivery would be 3 weeks that was fine come the day had a message saying my order was on its way to which I got rid of my old mattress to make room for my new one, then come 5:30pm still not arrived called to be told it wouldn’t be arriving for another week so I had to then go and by a blow up mattress which was extremely uncomfortable. My mattress finally arrived it looked small & compact around 100cm I was a bit confused to how this was a double but it had been folded a few times then rolled :/ , After rolling out the mattress i noticed a crease along the middle I waited a few hours to go back and check it out I noticed the fold line down the middle was still visible so I left it a few more hours and the fold was still there along with a few dips like damaged springs was very uncomfortable…thought maybe the mattress needs breaking in as i read it can take a while to get used to a new mattress but still the mattress was lumpy every night I have been uncomfortable and everyday I wake up in pain i called bensons to be told I have to wait another week and a half for a mattress technician to come out and check the mattress. When he finally arrived he walked in and before even touching the mattress he was shocked with how visibly bad it was he said it was definitely a faulty mattress which was likely to it being folded then rolled I then had to wait a week for the report to go back to bensons then bensons to get hold of me to now be told I have to wait another 3 weeks for the mattress be collected then a further 7-10 days for a refund so I’ll be back to the blow up mattress while waiting for the refund and then waiting for a new mattress to arrive again as I can’t afford to buy another mattress until my refund is through i am not a wealthy family this was a treat I had to save my wages for 3 months to get this then it’s faulty I will never use bensons again it’s been problems from the start , quick enough to sell but then when it comes to a issue or fault they put you back of the list and ignored

Delivery was delayed twice and then when it did arrive the slats were missing so could not sleep on it. That was another 5-10 days of waiting. Also received a desk which is not ours in another colour and were asked if we could dispose of it -awful service

We wanted a firm mattress. They insisted we use there computer technology and it would inform us of what mattress we SHOULD get. It stated a medium mattress was suited best to us. So we spent £2200 on a bedframe and mattress. We are now both in agony with our backs 6 months on. My top tip don't use their silly computer analyser! They won't accept any responsibility for this!

Ordered a bed back in December for our new house. This was a Tv bed. When we got it delivered in January the Tv never came. There was no notice of this! Had to pick it up for store weeks later. It gets worse. I noticed a ditch in the wood some weeks later and nails started to stick out of the side of the base. Called bensons for beds and spoke to a lovely lady called Jo who was really helpful. She said she would order a new base but unfortunately our bed had been discontinued so we would need to get an alternative. She advised us to go to store and see the alternative to make sure we were happy. We were told that if it was more expensive that we would not need to pay the difference as that is all they could offer us. When we went into store they said they could not order it without us paying £900 extra and told us to call bensons for beds back. Called them back and they have told us that for us to get the alternative bed that we need to pay £900 more. So we order a bed that they deliver faulty and they can not replace like for like so we have to pay £900 to get the equivalent. The only people to gain is bensons for beds for their mistake. They also told us that the new bed is a massive upgrade that’s why we need to pay more! However it is not a massive upgrade it is the same as our current bed but the new bed can lift to put storage under. We just want the same bed that they sold us without no damage. If they cannot offer us that then put your mistake right and offer us the equivalent. We got a discount on the bed that we have so cannot get anything for the same value however it feels because we got a discount we are not valued as customers and deserve a faulty bed. Disgusting customer service!! I will be telling everyone I know never to use this business again!!

terrible aftercare from them…. matteress was confirmed faulty after just 4 months use….it cost £850!!! Collection of matteress and replacement went wrong and they took it to the wrong address…. then after hours with customer service they couldn’t arrange it to be booked for delivery for another week…. advised I couldn’t loose another day off work to take delivery etc and asked for a refund. Was told the refund would be in 2 working days…. this didn’t happen and i’ve had to chase for my money. Took a loan to buy another matteress to be here on day of faulty matteress going and my money didn’t appear after 2 day’s and so i’ve wasted time yet again to get it resolved. ! So I’ve chased yet again as it’s been 6 days and it’s just been processed over the phone. Now been told it takes 3-5 working day’s for MY money to go back into my account…. my bank loan will now incur fees but they wouldn’t offer any compensation towards this even though it’s all there fault. Appalling service and rubbish customer care that give wrong info everytime you call. I will never use you again!

This company is a fraud. They scam you into purchasing products online that do not exist and they don’t even have or can manufacture. I bought a bed set and for a month and a half they kept coming with none sense excuses saying that the item I bought has been discontinued. Until this moment the item is out there for purchase. They took my money and took me two months to get it back and hours wasted on trying to reach out to their customer service. Avoid and save your time and money

Purchased furniture for our bedroom in 2020 it was installed. Paid insurance to them that’s a joke. After a year the lamentation lifted as it’s thin and rubbish. Although claimed it hi quality and joke. After a year and a bit pushing them and attending shops email they agree to replace but didn’t . Then they finally agreed to send one out months years later they send it. Wrong colour so returned they arranged another months later 2023 the wrong colour again … Where can I get them to give me the item county court small claims Insurance ombudsman Furniture ombudsman Watch dog some one tell me how can they to give me the item How are they still be trading what an absolute sham of a business

Bought bed in May 2022 base creaking phoned customer services had visit from inspector in Dec who said base was faulty. Waited until middle of Jan 2023 for company to contact us they never bothered. 7 phone calls 2 e mails & 1 visit to the shop. The original base is now obsolete so they wanted us to pay extra for a replacement. Eventually 3 months after original complaint they delivered the wrong size base & we have now been told that we will have to wait another 3/4 weeks for another delivery. Once this company has your money it does not care and will go to any lenghts to avoid replacing faulty / shoddy products. Giving a 1 star only because it does not have a no star option.

Bought a 4 door mirror wardrobe in 2019, from bensons for Beds in Didcot with repair warranty paid for from home furniture repairs. This order was delivered, and the wardrobe couldn't fit because of its height. This order was returned and was changed to a 2 door sliding mirror wardrobe which was delivered within the specific estimated time frame. The sales assistant gave us a number of SERVICO group to contact them so that we could arrange and for the wardrobe assembling as We are not very good with DIY. SERVICO was overrated by Bensons for beds sales assistant that they were the best in assembly their merchandise. Servico group was contacted and a date was arranged for the wardrobe assembly. This was assembled within half an hour and the team left. A couple of years now, first damage that happened was the back of the wardrobe falling to the wall. Sliding doors now cannot slide to either side both stuck in the middle. And clothes hanging rail broken as well. Due to having warranty, I contacted hoke furniture repairs and made a claim. Home furniture repairs sent a technician who came and inspected the faulty parts. "He said this wardrobe was not fixed properly and is very wobbly when you slide the doors. Which is dangerous that I have kids around. He said he will feed back to the team and a date can be arranged to repair the wardrobe. Received, email from home furniture group to confirm policy number and ward robe I have. I gave them the 2 door policy number and instead them, they had the 4 door ward policy number which was first delivered and returned. So i had to contact bensons for beds several times to get this right but all in vain. Every time i called the store explaining the situation, they alwalys told me that that's right policy number they have got on the system. But then home furniture repairs have got a policy for the 4 door ward meaning the wardrobe can only be fixed by them if the policy is changed to correct policy number. Was directed to contact customer service reagarding this issue, and having explained the situation. The lady i spoke too apparently said that because the wardrobe was bought in 2019 and this is 2023 . Therefore it could not be fixed. I still feel very gutted and disappointed in the entire service providers and management of this particular merchant. The fact i paid for repair warrant i do not not think this is right because home furniture repairs are very happy to fix my wardrobe but only issue is the policy they got is for the 4 door wardrobe. And needs to be changed to the 2 door wardrobe that I have got now. So be careful especially when you put warranty on items purchased.

To say I'm disappointed is to say nothing. I'm infuriated. Bought a decent divan bed which was suppose to have 5 years warranty. It started to creak only 6 months later. They requested an independent inspection and gave me contacts of EcoMaster Furniture Repairs, for that I was supposed to pay £50 out of my pocket. But the furniture guy put "the customer was sitting on the edge of the bed" (actually I did not) and then on this premise BensonsForBeds refused to do anything. Separately I must say their phone/online support is virtually non existant, I was holding the line for 1h with no success, email's remained unanswered, I just drove to the branch where the bed was purchased to reach them out.

Appalling service. Failed delivery twice. First time driver was out of hours because given too many drops. Driver's mate even laughed down the phone whilst telling me i won't have my bed. Second time the bed stand had not been loaded on the van. On further investigation this isn't even currently in stock. How has this not been noticed and rectified? Both times I was assured on the phone that my items were on the van and would definitely be delivered. Disgraceful incompetence.

We ordered a bed on September to be delivered at the start of October, we are now at the end of December and still no bed or new delivery date. Horrible customer service when speaking to them on the phone.
