We would not buy anything else from Litvinoff & Fawcett (unless there is a response to this poor review). We bought a bed base and a mattress from them 30 years ago which lasted us well: so we purchased a replacement mattress eight years ago from them again. It wasn't at all at the same quality level and has deteriorated to the point of needing to be replaced. Firstly we tried to use their email from the website contact information. It didn't work. We wanted to point out that, on their website, the company say they operate a 10 year guarantee on materials and workmanship and this might mean they would listen more carefully to our dissatisfaction. So we phoned to ask for an alternative email. Speaking to the representative I decided to mention, rather than email, our sadness at the difference between our later and earlier purchases. He then spent some time saying that our experience could not be a function of poor quality; we had exceeded the nationally recommended 7 year mattress useage; their products were far superior to others being sold and our mattress must have been damaged in use or when moved ( not true). The phone call reinforced our decision not to buy from Litvinoff & Fawcett again. The representative made no reference to their guarantee. There was no goodwill offer of , say £50 off a new mattress bought from them – with a discussion of what might be the best replacement; or even the offer of simply inspecting the mattress. Any of these might have been a good customer service suggestion. Caveat Emptor – It seems Litvinoff & Fawcett presently don't care that much.

This reviewer bought a mattress from us 30 years ago and was complaining that a another one bought eight years ago was not as good. Our manufacturing process and quality control has remained constant and they usually last far longer than the industry standard of seven years. However there are many factors beyond our control which can affect the lifespan or suitability of a mattress. These may include the occupants' physical weight, medical condition, or how it has been kept. After attempting to explain that no mattress remains in a permanently 'as new' condition, and not offering to compensate him, the customer terminated the call. Our guarantee covers all identifiable faults relating to workmanship and components. I am afraid that unless we are provided with concrete evidence of this, those calling us shortly before the guarantee ends expecting or demanding compensation will receive the same firm but polite response.
Having searched all the main bed and mattress suppliers in London, I finally found a bed I really like - with beautiful oak headboard and good mattress - from Litvinoff & Fawcett. The bed, delivered yesterday, is sturdy, hand-made and original. The mattress, (pocket medium), handmade from natural materials. Beds and mattresses are made in the workshops nr to the Hackney Road shop. The service - from initial phone call, through extensive discussions in the store, to the delivery and assembly of bed and mattress just 5 days later. was exemplary. I'm so glad I found this company and thoroughly recommend. Thankyou Litvinoff & Fawcett

Thank you for your review. It will be passed on to all concerned.
Excellent quality matresses that last for ever (well over 20 years at least)

Lovely hand made beds so able to adapt if you want something slightly different. Mattress very comfortable and hard wearing. The last one I bought here lasted 16 years...

I have bought beds and mattresses from Litvinoff and Fawcett for thirty years and love them. Even though I live in Surrey these days - still the best, and best value. And such wonderful service. Highly recommended.
Helpful Report
The Litvinoff mattresses are really comfortable and long lasting. We bought our first in the 1980's and it was great and it lasted 25 years, far longer that the guarantee. So great quality and great value. While we were in the shop we were served by Mr Litvinoff who is very knowledgeable and friendly. Once ordered it was delivery at the time agreed. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else.

Thanks Harry. We love sending beds to France!
Love the design of the bed, it"s a real solid wood bed, and is sanded smooth on all edges. The mattresses are natural fibre and very comfortable. Plenty of storage underneath too, we had ours on slightly longer legs at minimal cost. I bought three beds, I love the very simple natural style. Delivery excellent.Thankyou

Thank you for your support.
We had a dream of having a huge huge bed in our new home. We built the base based on the size of the room, and came to you guys with the measurements and you made us the most incredible bespoke mattress. You spend a lot of time asleep so you may as well make it comfortable and fabulous!

Good thinking... and thank you for your review.
The store experience was extremely positive and the quality of the mattress is excellent. Having been recommended by a friend, I too would highly recommend this business and their mattresses and aftercare.
Helpful Report
Thank you. Recommendation is the best form of advertising, and doesn't add to the cost of the goods.
The mattress is ridge-y and has to have a mattress topper. Previously had a L&F mattress which lasted 20 y and was great. Quality not what it was

Dear Alison, I am sorry you were disappointed. Our methods have remained much the same for more than 20 years. You chose our budget mattresses, which whilst good, are designed more for spare rooms and occasional use. Perhaps your previous mattress was one of the more generously filled ones which are inevitably more costly.
I have been a customer for over 40 years. The quality of their beds has always been excellent and my latest purchase - their beautiful Abbot bed in oak - is just beautiful. They liaised brilliantly with their workshop, their carriers and me so that the bed was delivered to Yorkshire on the day and at the time we had agreed. I couldn't be happier.

The bed frames are super solid and last, their mattresses are the best!
Helpful Report
Thank you. The bed frames will last a lifetime. Unfortunately the mattresses wont - but we are doing our best!
Very good mattress made with all natural materials aiding a good nights sleep.
Helpful Report
Thank you. We agree - natural materials last longer and are more comfortable.
Good value, efficient delivery, *very* comfortable mattress. And I was remembered as a previous customer when buying a mattress twenty years after my first purchase!

Thank you. Very glad you are happy. It is always great to meet returning customers again.
I had such a good experience buying from here - from the patience and knowledge on hand in the showroom (I had three children under five with me..) to the easy and helpful delivery times all to suit me. A top quality service at a great price. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comments. We are really glad that you are happy.
Fantastic bed and mattress,nearly two years on and we are extremely happy with the purchase. A great buy for a fantastic mattress that would have cost thousands elsewhere!

We all are very glad you are happy. Our mattresses are made in much the same way as mattresses costing many times more - but without the frills.
