Independent is Best!

Excellent knowledge and exceptional customer service. We tried all of the bed/mattress chain shops, who just wanted to sell us anything. Went to the Bed Specialist who actually listened and took time (1 to 1) to ensure we got exactly what WE wanted.
All round good experience.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. We wanted to buy a good quality mattress and needed advice. We had 1:1 attention for about 2 hours, trying a variety of mattresses. Nothing was too much trouble and we were very impressed by the level of product knowledge shown. We even had a cup of tea brought to us!
We were also shown a variety of duvets and pillows and, on placing an order, were given 2 pillows too.
Our mattress was delivered in the time scale specified, with excellent communication before delivery. We are beyond delighted with the mattress, and know that this is down to the detailed attention we were given whilst we were choosing.
Superb service from a local company!

Bed Perfection

After trying the usual big brands for a new mattress. We were recommended The Bed Specialist by family and friends.
We were not disappointed, when we arrived we had a quick chat about what we were looking for and our budget. We were shown what was in our range and discussed our options. We were then left to make our own decisions.
We ended up ordering online due to paying installments. It was an easy process. We were kept informed with regards to delivery etc. We even had a phonecall to book the delivery and then another on the day to confirm an hour time slot.
We would highly recommend The Bed Specialists and their team.

The fixings were not in the box and replacement fixings were also wrong

The fixings were not in the box. We then requested they be sent and it took a week to arrive. They were the wrong fixings. At this point we gave up and went to screw fix and sorted it ourselves. Had my husband not been able to do this, we would have been without a bed.

Hi Laura,
I am so sorry to read about this situation. When you contacted us to let us know the fittings were missing from the manufacturers box we posted a direct replacement set to you, I am so sorry these didn't seem to fit as they were the genuine manufacturer specification.

We are always here to help, so at any time if there is a problem we do have a dedicated customerservice@thebedspecialist.co.uk email and you can call us too on 01935 423 596 so we can try to help sort any problems out straight away.

As a small business we take care to look after every customer and will take your feedback very seriously to try and help us improve others shopping experiences with us.

Take care and apologies again for the mix up,
Nick

Spend your money elsewhere

I had found this item a bit cheaper through other online retailers, but it would have taken a couple of weeks to arrive as they did not have it in stock. Desiring it sooner as I was travelling on June 10th, I instead paid a little more and placed an order for it with the Bed Specialist on June 2nd. On their webpage for the item, it said it was in stock and would be delivered within 5 days. I received no shipping response for a few days and so I called them on June 5th and after a few calls, they apologised saying the had slipped up and not processed it, and that it would go out the same day. It did not. It was finally shipped on June 7th and arrived after I had already left on holiday. I was left wondering whether they would have even shipped it at all had I not called! In the end, I ended up overpaying for an item that I additionally received slow shipping on. I could have just saved myself a few quid and the hassle of calling by just ordering elsewhere. Today - an equally timely 2 months after the transaction! - I received the standard copy-paste "thank you again for your recent order" email followed by a request for a trust pilot review. Well here it is - spend your money elsewhere. We live in an age of same day delivery, where even the lumbering Royal Mail has inexpensive 48-hour tracked shipping options. Being uncompetitive with pricing and then providing such slow processing and shipping doesn't make for a great experience. I'm only giving them 2 stars because the item did actually finally arrive in the end.

Hi Ali,
Thanks for the honest feedback and we understand your concerns regarding the pillow order you placed with us.

We really appreciate you placing your order with us online, we are a small family business and mistakes are sometimes made for which we apologise. Once we'd dispatched your order with Royal Mail we made sure it was tracked and signed for so it could be with you within 8 working days of ordering.

We take all feedback seriously and will use your comments to help make sure the service we provide customers continues to improve along with our competitive pricing!

Take care and thanks once again for your business,
Nick
