Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Very good BUT removed a star for each of two points.

Andy was very nice and helped a lot, was able to give me the answer that I needed for the original reason I came into the store (someone else's order), and I was able to buy a good mattress for myself. Had difficulty arranging the correct date for delivery as I am working most days. The reason for the 2 star removal. Firstly I haven't got it yet so the order is not complete. I hope to come back after the delivery to amend details. The second reason really REALLY annoys me. They profess to have a video showing a delivery BUT you have to sign into an app called VIMEO. Why must I log into this? Is YouTube no good? Can you not have the video part of your webpage? No Way will I sign into a site for no good reason. That is one way I can get a virus. So I'll NEVER give them 5 stars.

Gillingham store

We went to the Gillingham store. Odette was extremely helpful and answered our many, many questions. We wanted an ottoman bed with storage that you could access by lifting the bed rather than having drawers. Odette took us to the lift up version to see what we thought of it (nice but I didn't have the strength to lift it), she then took us to the power version which was perfect. We didn't like the headboard that was on the display model so she showed us all the other possible headboards that would fit. She then did the same with the mattresses. At no time did we feel pressurised to buy anything and she was just really helpful (and patient). We left the store to pop into another adjacent bed store but we were back within 10 minutes to order from Benson Beds. Odette explained the delivery options, how it would be assembled, the warranty etc. Lead time was 3 weeks but we actually don't want it just yet as we are decorating. We arranged a date that was convenient to us with the knowledge that we could change this either way if necessary. The whole process was great, we have no complaints.

Good Customer Service, Poor Mattress

Customer service was good. Zak the sales rep was very knowledgeable. However, the 2 stars is for the mattress; the eve pure memory mattress (king size, firm) flatters to deceive as a firm mattress. When tested in store and for the first 3 weeks, all seemed well. But after this, we’re finding we are getting back aches without regular rotation, and the mattress seems depressed where we lay. Not sure how long it will hold up, and the edges are not supportive at all. I would not recommend this mattress if you are after a supportive, firm mattress.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about the comfort issues you’ve experienced with the mattress. We understand that comfort and support are very personal and can feel different for everyone. We appreciate your comments regarding durability and edge support and will ensure this feedback is shared internally with the relevant teams. We’re pleased to hear our in-store service met your expectations and thank you for highlighting this,
