Please do not buy from this company they have done nothing but messed us about for 8 weeks when the goods arrived they were damaged and was told that they could not take the goods back, after we had a big argument they took them back, please think twice before you buy from this company, we are looking down the line of taking them to court,

Terrible company. They took my money on 11 July and have failed to deliver full order on 2 occasions. Their Admin team has now given me what appears to be a dud telephone number to claim my refund on (0800 144 6160).Has my money been diverted to some kind of scam or gambled in some way on the stock exchange?

My partner and I purchased a Igel 2000 mattress 1year ago. The mattress we tried in the shop felt great, loads of support, really firm but comfy. Sadly the first mattress we recieved we had to send back before the 40night period as it sagged in the middle and when you slept near the edge it felt like you were falling out. Bensons sent out two different examiners in this time and who both said the mattress was defective and yet we still had Bensons saying the mattress was fine, eventually after many photos and back and forth emails and phone conversations they finally agreed to replace the mattress. We now have another Igel 2000 mattress and we've had it about a year. Honestly this is one of the worst mattresses I have ever slept on, the rating is suppossed to be FIRM and yet when you lay on the mattress it just doesn't support your body at all. You sink into it, but not like a comfy sinking feeling, more like a sagging lumpy feeling with no support at all, every single night I wake up with back ache and aching issues all down my body. I even have to sleep the opposite end of the head board as the mattress seems to be at a higher angle at the bottom of the bed which causes my legs to get pins and needles. By the way im a 31 year old weighing 14 stone, who is reasonably active and works over 48hours per week, so this has nothing to do with my age or health. The Mattress is suppossed to be cooling, this is definately not true! If anything the mattress makes you hotter! It seems to trap the heat when you lay on it after a while. My partner and I even bought a Cooling mattress protector and this still doesnt help keep you cool due to the mattress simply being unable to disapate and heat. Overall I would not rate this mattress to anyone it truely is uncomfortable and just a darn waste of money, which may I add is around £1200. I thought spending this type of money would get us a decent mattress but obviously not! If could swap it i most definately would, but Bensons say you cannot do this as its past the 40days period, in my opinion this is not a suitable time frame to test a mattress that is suppossed to be able to last you 8-10years.

Benson4beds Didcot, absolute shower. Promised everything took the money, we waited for delivery, nothing. Finally the base turned up with no mattress. Didcot refer you to customer services no answer on the phones. Still waiting for the mattress. Never using them again. See how long they last, they closed down a few years ago now we know why.

A few years ago my son bought a new bed, with the money he got for Christmas, and the mattress has got some major issues, and I sent Benson for beds some pictures, and they came back to me and said that his mattress has a fault and because it is under warranty still we could have a replacement but the original bed my son bought has been discontinued, and the Benson for beds store near me has closed down and the other stores that is supposed to be near me but they are miles away from us and no one can drive in our house for medical reasons, and they have suggested that we find one online but because of my son's disability he needs to try the beds before getting another one, and I have asked for a refund, but they are offering a voucher to buy a new bed from them

An all round terrible experience that has left us all stressed, upset, let down and feeling lied to. We will never endorse this company again & would tell everyone never to shop here. The store branch are friendly but their comunication with their despatch centers is dreadful...we've sent an email & are waiting for a respomce they are looking into it is all you get. They fail to keep dates, dont know what eachother are doing, blame eachother for gheir failings, ee have been lied to and lied about as apparently when an order faiked to arrive the driver reported we had cancelled it which was false, he didnt even turn up. A paid for bed and matresses for an elderly sick relative is now over a week late, didnt arrive on the set date and no one can tell us evwn now when it will or what went wrong! Just shocking, we are going to ask for our money back and speak to the Ombusman about all of the poor service we have had.

Broken bed delivered flat packed 5 weeks ago. I've been told on 3 occasions that replacement parts are on the way but nothing received as yet. I wish I'd had read the reviews before I ordered. I've asked for a refund, I'm doubtful that I'll get it.

Ordered a bed. Didn't arrive on the day - I received a txt to say I had changed the delivery date to 3 weeks further away (which I had not). 1 hour on the phone. They said this was a mistake but they never delivered because they encountered a low bridge. I advised there are no low bridges anywhere near me and they said it could be anywhere in the country they were driving from to get to me. I asked why they never just avoided that road - no answer to that. Full official complaint put in via Resolver - so far no response after 13 days. I was advised I'd receive a call. Never happened. Several days later I called again - 50 minute wait - had to explain the situation again - more apologies and a promise of a call the following Monday to see when they could deliver. Again, no call came. No response from the complaint. I've been texted again to say the bed will come on a day I will not be home and to call if not convenient. I refuse to spend any more time or money calling them. More added to my official complaint form. Still no response at all. Absolutely appalling.

Oh they are most irritating and scumbags even seen. I was supposed to get delivery on 11 Aug at 12 p.m which got shifted to 4 p.m which then was scheduled at 8 and finally at 9:30 got a call that delivery man forgot to pick up my bed. Today is 19 Aug and still awaiting for my bed. 0808 144 6160 call on this number and wait for 2 hrs and call will be disconnected. filthy service

Took time off work to be at home for delivery today following a text yesterday to confirm all was ok and will be out between 7am-1pm today. A text this morning to say its going to go out later due to operation issues, then another text a few hours later saying due to said operational issues it wont be delivered today. Now to spend ages on the phone to customer services. I saw the bad reviews but thought for just a simple mattress I wouldn't get entwined with the bad service, oh how I was wrong. Currently position 58!!

Tom & Jerry outfit at best, first they don’t deliver the whole order then arrange another date nearly a month later, then delivery men turn up 7.30 am without the item, couldn’t make it up, clowns.

This company's service is back in the dark ages. Appalling! I bought a bed online and it has taken 5 weeks of wrangling, emails, sms messages and telephone calls before bed finally delivered today. I can't go into all the details because it would need 10, 000 words. Needless to say the bed was just delivered and left, not even unpacked. They need to be dragged into the 21st century or be closed down . Useless useless, useless!!!!!

If our experience is usual, do not buy from this company. We were promised a replacement of a mattress that cost over £900 and sagged badly after a couple of months. As of yes 9 months later we have not had the replacement. We have had many promised delivery dates, only for yet another phone call to say it's not on the can. We have given up almost and are making a claim via our bank. We would prefer to buy elsewhere anyway as the goods may be of the same quality.

We bought this king size Mattress delivered one week ago. Cost just on £700. After only 5 days started to dip in 2 places were we sleep. Contacted Bromborough shop and told to ring CS. I have tried every day this week and after being on hold for over 30 minutes and told 25/35/71 etc in the queue, I put the phone down. I have emailed them and told they will respond in about 10 days. Can’t even get through to Bromborough store, phone no5 answering. I WISH I HAD READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE WE PURCHASED THIS MATTRESS. Goodness knows what it will be like after a few m9nths neve4 m8 d days. Appalling company DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

I have not even got my bed yet and I am absolutely appalled by their incompetence. Not only is the date keep being pushed back to receive the goods - but their customer care is somewhat frustrating and at best obsolete. A delivery is supposed to be happening tomorrow but there has been no communication as set out in the email stating that they will provide an AM or PM delivery slot. I have tried to contact them 6 times today with each call lasting upwards of 30 minutes on hold. Then on 3x occasions just turned off. Benson Beds holds absolutely no commitment or professionalism to their customers...

This company is not to be trusted. My bed after delayed delivery came with only half a base. They have not resolved this despite numerous attempts. Now I have researched further I can see this is happening to hundreds of customers.
