We're happy to hear that you had a first-class experience, from our store to your home. We appreciate your recognition of our top quality product and service.
Great mattress, great service.
We were on the hunt for a new mattress and found the service from Peter at Bensons for Beds excellent.
We spent a long time trying to decide which mattress was best for us - Peter was very patient, giving us all the information we needed to help us decide, but without ever being pushy.
We had previously visited other stores and his service really stood out from others, ultimately leading to us making a purchase
We are delighted with our new mattress and would highly recommend Bensons for Beds.

Impossible to cancel: Store closed for holidays & Customer Service refuses to help
I placed order A8435857 on 20/12/2025 at the Edinburgh Straiton branch.
According to Clause 4 of your Terms & Conditions, I have the right to cancel free of charge within 7 days. I contacted your Chat Support today (21/12/2025) to exercise this right.
Your agent, Michael, refused to process the cancellation, insisting I must contact the store directly. However, the store is closed until the New Year for the holidays.
By forcing me to wait until the store reopens, you are physically preventing me from cancelling within the 7-day penalty-free window. This feels like a deliberate trap to charge the 20% fee later. The agent refused to provide written email confirmation of my request despite me asking for it explicitly.
I have sent a formal cancellation notice to your enquiries email in accordance with Clause 17 of your T&Cs. I expect a full refund and confirmation immediately.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused and want to reassure you that your cancellation request has been logged within the 7-day window. A full refund will be processed, and the Edinburgh Straiton store team will contact you as soon as they return after the holiday period to confirm everything. We appreciate your patience and will make sure this is resolved promptly.
Thank you,

Excellent Service and a Great Buying Experience
We had a really positive experience purchasing our mattress from Bensons for Beds. Peter, who assisted us, was both personable and professional throughout.
We’d recently returned a mattress from another company and Peter took the time to understand our needs and guided us through the best options available. He encouraged us to try each mattress at our own pace and gave us the space to consider comfort, price, and materials - stepping away with discretion so we never felt rushed or pressured.
We left feeling confident in our choice and much happier than with our previous experience elsewhere. Highly recommend!
