Right from the start we were helped by Tracy to find the perfect mattress.

Tracy was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Avoid at all costs
Avoid . Go elsewhere . We went to the chelmsford branch . They talked hubby into a split headboard ( more money) we have had 3 SKS headboards delivered never needed a split in the past !!
Delivery set for 21st July. So take a day off to accommodate delivery .only bed arrived .. another day off booked for 8th august for headboard . Phone call to say oh its in stock .we can deliver on 31st July.. day off booked .. now another message saying no its not in stock ..its coming on 20th August a whole month after the bed itself arrived
This isn't good enough .I dont need to be taling 4 days off work in the summer and struggle to take the time . .I dont reccomend this company . The hand dont know what the elbow is doing and all they are interested in is upsell. £50 extra for this . £50 extra for that .its a joke
