One month ago, my partner and I went to Dreams in Hereford to order a new bed. After originally planning on buying a king, we decided to purchase a super king instead. The woman who worked there made a great sales pitch and was kind and patient while serving us. After making our choice, we sat down to go through the order. At the time, we explained that we lived in a tight spaced house and that the stairs were tight. The woman assured us that this would not be an issue as the men delivering the bed had dealt with all sorts of tight accesses before and would be able to get it in. We ended up paying a sum of £1,920 for a frame, mattress and instillation of the frame. Almost two weeks later, the bed was due to arrive. The delivery men spent 10 minutes in the house and stated that they could not get the super king up the stairs. They did not take the frame out of the box to try and get it up – we had measured the frame and knew this could fit up the stairs prior to ordering it. And so the bed and frame were taken away. Here the troubles starts…Upon ringing the Hereford branch to discuss what our next steps were, we were not met with any form of customer service skills one would expect when an issue has occurred. No apology was given. We were informed that we could install a zip to the mattress due to the tight access however this would cost us an extra £260. Why this option was not provided at the start when we stated that we had tight access I am not sure as we would have looked at a cheaper mattress due to cost. After being told we could not have a refund, we went with the zip option. Fast forward 4 weeks later to the current day. Mattress and frame arrive. Different delivery men (who were external and did not work for dreams like the previous gentlemen) who were able to get the very same frame up the stairs. It looked great and we were very happy. Then we saw the mattress…a zip had indeed been installed, however, whoever had done the job had not levelled the mattress up and so one part of the mattress is currently at least 80mm longer than the other side! After spending £1400 plus the £260 on this mattress, whoever felt that this it was acceptable to allow it to be sent out is unbelievable. We have a mattress with one half longer than the other! The delivery men stated that this was clearly appalling and said they would inform there was a fault with it in their notes. Due to this shock, I immediately rang the Hereford branch and asked to speak to the manager for some confirmation that something would be done about this expensive mistake. I was told that the manger was on maternity leave and that the deputy manager was with a customer. I informed the woman who I was on the phone with about my issue and she suggested I ring customer service. I did so and was placed in a 45 minute queue which ended with the line cutting out 35 minutes in. After work the same day, I rang the Hereford branch back and asked if the deputy manager was now free. They had obviously spoken about me ringing earlier as I could hear someone in the background (who I assume was the deputy manager) saying, “I don’t know what she wants me to do about it. What does she expect me to do?” I was then put on with the deputy manager who was EXTREMELY unhelpful and very rude. She begrudgingly said she would email customer service for me and at the end of the phone call I could even here her laughing about my issue with another colleague! As someone who works with the general public in their job, I was absolutely horrified by the level of customer service shown by this individual. And someone who is given managerial responsibilities too! I am now looking at going to small claims court to get a refund for this bed which was misrepresented and faulty.

Received faulty Mattress 17rh Feb.Reported problem within 48hours to store and then by E mail to customer service. Dreams said that an assessment was required by their independent company which would be 24days later!! Unable to use this mattress we moved ourselves into our spare room. Dreams have now deducted £200.00 from our refund for the privilege of stress and disruption caused by them .We are aged 83 and 80years respectively and feel so let down by Dreams that we are today proceeding to raise this issue with the Small Claims Court. We made them aware that we would be claiming through the Court but they haven't responded. Such a sorry outcome when the staff in Dreams shop were so helpful. Customer Service very slow to respond and extremely difficult to make contact with. We wouldn't use them again.

Very poor customer service Will never buy a mattress from dreams again as over priced and most of the mattresses are made not to last Reported my memory foam mattress had all dipped when being under a year old Will not refund and only exchange on faulty goods. Customer service lady put the phone down on me when I was discussing that I had to buy a new mattress as I could not wait 3 weeks sleeping on a mattress that is giving me back ache and so mattress was put on floor. They refused to assess mattress because it was on floor when no one told me it had to be placed on a base !! Why would I wait for a engineer to come put if I knew he wouldn't assess mattress if on floor. If I knew they were going to do that then I would have put the mattress on a base. This is the second poor mattress I have bought from dreams and will never recommend this company or silent night to anyone

After reading all the negative reviews, thought I'd add mine, my last dreams bed lasted 15 years! When it finally started to break, I have just received another bed from dreams and I love it! I only received this month so can't comment on longlivity as of yet but it is super comfy and delivery and assembly was second to non! I will be buying 2 more beds for my kids at the end of the year.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AFTERCARE, from even the managers in the complaints team. terribly Handled my complaint, resulting in me now going to the furniture ombudsman. I had a bed that had grown mold gone into my mattress, they have replaced my bed but won't replace my mattress like for like as I bought the mattress on Blue Cross, regardless of this the mattress is still available on their website so why is can't they exchange this? Like for like? The engineers who delivered the bed pulled the carpet, knocked my chandelier and didn't even put the mattress on the bed. The mattress is Super King so you can imagine how hard it was for us to place down. The manager called me today 8.2.24 after waiting just under 24 hours. The manager was rude, and terminated the call. Dreams you need to get new staff. They haven't resolved my complaint. i would never buy from you again. i wish i could just have my money back and be done with you.

Enquired about a replacement for a 'Beaumont' 1000 pocket spring luxury 3' mattress. Which was not listed on current webpage site (January 2024). Received E-mail response from Sales Advisor Sebastian Tosnar informing me that 'Banbury' was the current equivalent replacement. With 858 spring pockets. When queried informed that: Quote: "The reason this Banbury says 858 pocket springs is because spring counts are worked out in this industry off of a king size. If you look at the king size Banbury it will say 1000. Believe me this is the 1000000000% like for like for your current mattress" unquote. This appears at face value to be disturbingly disingenuous and dishonest. And holding the intelligence of life blood customers in contempt. It appears to be pandering to the lowest common denominator of (standards of) excellence. And quality. Imagine they would be of interests to BBC 'Rogue Traders' / 'Watchdog' consumer affairs programme. Caveat Emptor.

The mattress I purchased wasnt the mattress that was delivered because it was like sleeping on a sandbag, no give. I experienced severe back pain after 1 night after sleeping on new mattress. I complained but was ignored because probably they have so many complaints they know what to expect. After seeking legal advice from Trading Standards I was within my legal right to get a full refund. The reason stated being in my first sentence. Dialogue with Customer Service was protracted and extremely difficult. For reasons known only to Dreams I didnt get a FULL refund. Still, I received 2 thirds. I accepted that I had given the 1 third money to charity as they were having to pay their staff under duress. Dreams are a company that have no ethics and could not care less about their product. I sincerely hope no one else should consider Dreams an ethical company and would strongly advise to give this company a wide berth and NOT buy a mattress at Dreams because you will have nightmares.

I had to change my mattress 3 times because all of their mattress are not fit for purpose. The materials they use to make the mattress are non breathable so the mattress becomes extremely hot with your body temperature, so it's like sleeping on a sweaty sauna. DREAMS offer this 100 nights warranty to allow customers to change their mattress within 3 months. Every time I have changed the mattress I upgraded to a more expensive one plus paid £50 for the exchange but all of them have some issues. Either too firm like sleeping on the floor, either too unhealthy hot... I feel I wasted my time and money because none of their mattress are good quality. I regret having gone there!

I went to visit the Maidstone store on Weds 13th Dec at 11.10am and found it CLOSED. All the usual opening times on the door and no notice to say anything about it being closed. Shop in half darkness and no sign of life and doors simply didnt open.

I wish I checked this web site before and I wish I did not buy anything with Dreams. Unfortunately the high rating that they have with trustpilot is totally misleading. Dreams is a very bad company that should be reported and closed down. They sell mattresses obviously unfit for purpose without any quality check. They refuse to take back the mattress and give any refund, even for any mattress that was deemed unsuitable after sleeping on it just once. They have a system of replacement in place that forces people to pay more to upgrade the mattress to something that could be barely acceptable. I bought a Fakenham first for 500£, it was extremely uncomfortable, because it does not have enough padding. I'm confident that prison cells have better mattresses. I only slept one night on it. I then payed more for a Swaffham 800£ + 50£ charge for exchange and I had to wait 5 days for delivery. This awful matrtess was really stinky of cheese/milk. I think it's due to the plastic layer inside the mattress made with dirty recycled milk bottle. It was really stinky. I got up the next morning with the smell of the mattress in my lungs, I believe that it's toxic particulate really. I could not sleep in that room, I had to keep the door closed and sleep somewhere else for 3 weeks. I threatened to sue the company and talked with the customer service many times, but they did not care. I called the customer services many times trying to find a solution, I offered to get a partial refund, I was happy to lose 200£ but they refused. They pretended to send someone to check the mattress using a third party company but found excuses to delay it and cancelled appointments at the last moment, very unprofessional. I was considering throwing away the mattress and losing 800£ to get rid of the smell. In the end I payed 100£ to buy a better mattress that does not smell although I did not want to give more money to this company. This took one month of frustration, having to sleep somewhere else in an old bed kept for guests. The stinky smell from the previous mattress is still not gone away completely. Avoid this company at all costs!

Appalling service from.start to finish. They also lie. We had to exchange our mattress and due to the issues with the initial order the Customer Service adbisor said she would waive the £49 fee, only she did'nt. Instead they deducted it from the vouchers due back to us. Unprofessional and decietfull. Will not touch them with a bargepole. Very angry abd disappoibted

Bed delivered on 9/10/ 23. Paid for collection of my old mattress £55 , was given recycling bag . I was able to get rid of mattress . I went in store in Havant with bag well before delivery date . Spoke to a young man employee who took bag and told me it would be better to not cancel the collection as this would in all probability cancel whole order . Bed arrived , two men assured me that they would ensure I received a refund as they would pass it on to appropriate dept . Today I rand store , no answer . Rang again lady said to ring customer services . Hung on and on and on , was 1st in queue and then 5th? Rang store again and was told she would email to see if my refund was being dealt with. No. She said she would email appropriate dept and to keep an eye on my bank account . Poor service , inefficient and now I would not recommend Dreams . Thing was I gave a £20 tip to the delivery men. More fool me . Only ray of light was Gemma in store .
