Great store
Ryan was very helpful in quickly understanding our needs and suggesting the appropriate options. He was very kind and cheerful and made the whole experience -- weird to say -- even enjoyable. The explanations were clear and detailed, and the purchase process went smoothly.

Check delivery charges
I found a suitable headboard but was told that stock was not held instore. I therefore arranged to collect it from the store a few days later but was advised that a £49 delivery charge would still apply!! Whilst there was a notice stating that a delivery charge would be made for purchases, I (wrongly) assumed that this only applied to delivery to the purchaser's home address. If the charge applies to delivery to store, it is a predefined sum and should be included in the advertised price. Not to do so is misrepresentation.

Hello Mr Cooke,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the purchasing process.
We understand your frustration regarding the delivery charge, particularly as you had arranged to collect the headboard from the store and did not expect a delivery fee to apply. We appreciate how this may have been confusing, especially if the charge was not clear at the point of purchase.
Your comments regarding the way delivery charges are communicated and displayed have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams for review.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us,

Purchase of new mattress from Bensons for Beds, Erdington
After perusing the Bensons for Beds site on the internet on Thursday (13 Aug 2026) and deciding on a particular mattress, we went out on Friday (14 Aug 2026) originally with the choice of mattress idea in mind to the Bensons for Beds store in Tamworth. Only to find that the store was closed for major refurbishment, not a good start. As we were getting back to our car, a female staff member came over and told us the store had officially closed for refurbishment the previous evening (Wednesday 12 Aug 2026). Sorry, but I have to say I was not amused with the fact that there was no information on the Bensons for Beds site that the store in Tamworth would be closed on a certain date for refurb. I mentioned this factnto the female staff member and was given the response that a notification was on the site (today - 14 Aug 2026). What sort of customer communication is that? I think it is very poor. So then, still with our impending mattress purchase in mind, we drove all the way back home and onto the Bensons for Beds store in Erdington. Fortunately, the store was open, what a relief! We were met by a male staff member by the name of Ave (he did tell us that he was originally going to be called ‘Dave’ but his parents couldn’t afford the “D”, lol). He was very pleasant, well mannered and helpful to the degree with discussing various merits of certain mattresses, that we eventually came away with not our original idea, but a superior mattress (slightly dearer than our first choice, but more suitable to our physical needs) and very satisfied with the outcome. We appreciated all the help and assistance we got from Ave and did not experience any ‘hard sale pitching’. Thank you, Ave.

His colleague is reckless and stupid
Robert is a very attentive, intuitive, mature, respectful colleague. He is an excellent manager of the site. His insubordinate colleague who attacks the retail park manager for doing her job, on behalf of the insurance companies, not so much. Due to her action the person fell over a curb and damaged the back of her insured head and both her feet. How ever will she pay her back…. You had one day to make a positive impression and that was not it.
