Excellent service, would buy from again
The sales manager was very knowledgeable, friendly and helped us to understand exactly what we were getting. Even went the extra mile to make sure we had any discount that was available. The mattress has since been delivered and we couldn't be happier with it - such a change from the ancient one we had before!

Brilliant Customer service all round. 😊
From visiting the Gateshead store to delivery, my experience buying a bed and mattress from Bensons for beds was excellent.
No pressure in store when deciding on and trying almost every Tempur mattress (a few times) Angela was fantastic.
Being kept up to date via emails prior to delivery day and then on the day receiving a courtesy call from Stew and Linton say they were enroute.
Really lovely Guys who were far faster than I ever would have been putting together the Bed and clearing everything away afterwards.
Brilliant customer service all round. 😊
