Having looked around most of the outlets locally, I concluded that the more commercial brands offered less in terms of value vs service, compared to other shops the Bed Specialists are very much higher than most.
The more personalised, focused attention and the welcome from all the staff made a difference to me.
I trust the Bed Specialists, hence the review.

My needs over profit

Great customer service. They listened to what I wanted and then advised on the best option. I thought top of the range was best, but In fact middle of the range was more than perfect; I saved money to. Thank you for your time and expertise. One very happy customer.

Superb

The courtesy, quality and service were superb from looking in the shop to delivery. Delivery was a dream and carried out with such helpfulness by the 2 young men involved.

Some of the best service I can remember over many years.

BEWARE of the new (Dunlopillo Super…

I purchased a new (Dunlopillo Super Comfort Latex Pillow) which I thought was the same as my original Dunlopillo, it’s not. The quality is not the same, despite whoever is making them now, claim they are.
If you haven’t purchased one before you won’t know the difference. Dunlopillo do not make the original ones anymore and the new versions using the Dunlopillo name are of poorer quality.
My original Dunlopillo latex pillow, after 5 years of use, has more density alone than this brand new one.
I contacted The Bed Specialist within the hour of delivery, and voiced my opinion but they said I couldn’t return it if it wasn’t damaged etc, they didn’t want to know. I hadn’t even taken it out of it’s wrapper, as I could tell from touching it through the plastic bag it wasn’t the same quality.
We are always encouraged to support a family run business, but it’s like getting blood out of a stone when it comes to getting a refund.
Give me the big retailers any day.
If you do your research you will read other people stating that the new so called Dunlopillo pillows are not the same as the old ones, that’s because Dunlopillo have been taken over.
Regarding (The Bed Specialist) it’s the first time dealing with them and it’ll be my last.

We are so sorry to read about your recent experience with this new pillow Anne, we did all we could to answer your questions about the pillow and the new features it has compared to the original design you owned quite some years ago.

The terms of sale you kindly agreed to did clearly state we cannot refund sundry items such as pillows and bedding due to hygiene purposes unless found to be faulty.

We rely so much on the kind word and recommendation of our valued customers and hope after the contact we have had you may reconsider shopping with us again in the future. We are always here to answer your questions and support you when needed, and strive to clearly advertise the items online with extensive information!

Thanks once again for your order, call us on 01935 423 596 at any time and speak to a member of the team if you wish.

Best wishes,
Nick

Really helpful sales person, not pushy just honest helpful advice which enabled us to make the right choice of bed. Really good delivery service, kept to time and did a good job of putting new bed together. Highly recommend The Bed Specialist in Yeovil.

We highly recommend this family run local business.

We needed a quality Mattress so visited The Bed Specialist. As the company name says they are specialists in the field of matching your need to the best Mattress. We had a quality consultation, tried out several different products and in the end selected one that met our needs. The service was fantastic from stepping foot in the showroom, selecting the best mattress for us, delivery and most of all getting a good night sleep. We highly recommend this family run local business.

My new mattress

Firstly, my daughter and l were very warmly received and were greatly helped in choosing the right mattress for my needs, as l'm very old and disabled. Secondly, the waiting period for manufacture was very greatly reduced and the mattress was delivered and placed on my bed and the old mattress removed, all in just 5 minutes. And, thirdly, that very night l had the best night's sleep I've had for a very long time. Thankyou, The Bed Specialist.

Couldn't Be Happier - Excellent Service, Fantastic Bed

Shopping at The Bed Specialist was such a stress-free experience. Nick was very knowledgeable about the different types of mattress and honed in quickly on our sleeping preferences with a few astute questions. The bewildering choice was therefore thankfully narrowed down to a smaller number of mattresses that might suit us, and after that we were given all the time in the world to test them out. There was absolutely no sales pressure (quite the opposite; Nick suggested that before we ordered our new bed we come back in a week or so as a test to see if our favourite mattress was still our favourite - advice we ignored!). Delivery was well organised and smooth, the delivery team was very friendly and built the bed in our room in about 40 minutes. We've had our new ottoman divan, mattress and gorgeous plush headboard for a week now and couldn't be happier. Thanks to Nick's expertise, I'm sleeping much better and so is my husband. I guess that's the benefit of shopping at a third-generation family business - they know their stuff! Thank you Bed Specialist team!

A Pillow Lesson!

A Pillow Lesson!
On 26/10/24 I bought a pair of latex foam pillows from the Bed Specialists, they were the dearest I’ve ever bought at £95 each. I tried before I bought & liked, however when I tried to sleep on them that night, couldn’t get comfortable!
Next morning having not slept well I went elsewhere and bought 2 cheapies. I’m now used to them & sleeping well, so don’t give up if you can’t get used to them straight away, give it a couple of nights & they’ll come good! As for cheapies, one in spare room & other refunded.

We recently purchased a bed for our daughter. We received a very friendly welcome & were given lots of help & information whilst looking at several different beds. Once we informed the sales assistant what we were looking for & how much we wanted to spend he found us the perfect bed in minutes! I would definitely recommend this company & would much prefer to support their family business than bigger chains! Thank you 😊
