Great in store service

I bought my bed online but it was being able to view the bed in store that made this a great experience! I went to two stores - Rayleigh and Basildon and the staff were incredibly helpful! I wouldn’t have bought a bed if it hadn’t been for being able to see it in person, And having physical stores have Bensons a huge edge over online only bed sellers. Really impressed, thanks Bensons!

Don’t stick to delivery dates

I was promised a delivery date and 1 of the beds didn’t arrive. They then pushed it back by 2 weeks. Don’t trust the delivery timelines - you’ll be left disappointed. I only used them as they offered the quickest lead times.

My original purchase

My original purchase was made in early February 2026 with delivery and assembly scheduled for 9th April 2026 on first use the drawer bottoms fell out due to no dowels fitted at assembly, I was offered some compensation and a small chest of drawers unit, which I accepted with delivery scheduled for a further 6 to 8 weeks time. At the end of this period I chased this up only to be told, the order hadn’t been placed correctly and I would have to wait a further 6 to 8 weeks taking me up to the end of June 2026, at this point I had decided to assemble the furniture myself due to the extremely poor construction previously, which was agreed by the company. Delivery was due on the 29th June 2026 however on this date the delivery lorry developed a flat tyre, resulting in a further weeks delay, on delivery, the fitters were expecting to assemble the item not having received a message that it was delivery only. On completing the assembly myself I became aware that the wrong size had been delivered to me which meant rearranging my existing furniture to accommodate this, all in all a most unsatisfactory stressful experience.

We are truly sorry to hear about the incredibly unsatisfactory and stressful experience you've had, from the initial assembly issues to the multiple delays and the final incorrect delivery. This is far from the service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience and frustration this has caused. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve our processes.

The store has a wide variety of mattresses, which can make choosing quite difficult. However, thanks to Robin, we were able to make a well-informed decision. He was patient, kind, and answered every question in great detail. It’s clear he has a very deep knowledge of mattresses.
I also had a few follow-up questions the next day and called requesting to speak with him. Although he was with another customer, he called me back as promised and was just as helpful over the phone. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
The delivery service was also excellent. Kay and James were courteous, professional, and helpful.
