Waited nearly 7 weeks for a bed and mattress costing almost £3k and ended up with nothing!
Delivery confirmation received countless times up to and including the day before delivery was due. But, at 5pm the night before,received a call to say the mattress wasn’t coming, only the bed. Mattress will be at least another 3 weeks. Was asked, Do you want the bed delivered, said no, bring it when the mattress is ready, they said, if you don’t take the bed now, it may not be available when the mattress is ready, as they will assign it to someone else!! I reluctantly took delivery. When it arrived the next day, the stitching on the headboard was visibly coming loose, the back was ripped in numerous places and it looked like there was a cigarette burn on the side of it!
Asked for a full refund, was told it would have to wait until it was collected. Pointed out that I hadn’t had the expensive bit of the delivery, ie the mattress, so why can’t you refund me the mattress!
Going to take a week to collect, in the meantime I have an unusable bed blocking my room, I’m out of pocket £3k and still need to buy another bed!
Shocking!

We're very sorry to hear about the issues with your order and the condition of the delivered bed. We know waiting so long and then receiving a damaged item is frustrating. We're looking into what happened with your mattress delivery and the bed's condition. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Take care, Megan at Customer Care

Offer with unpacking mattress and putting on bed, these things are dam heavy and awkward when handling as a single female, and take more care getting mattress upstairs, as you are NOT supposed to bend the mattress

Wonderful experience from start to finish.
A very helpful team.
In store team helped with recommending products to us. Very honest and guided us to our perfect bed.
The delivery team were fantastic. Helpful and gave us advice for when we built our bed.
The only thing I would say is perhaps you could do with more staff in store. I found myself floating at first which was good in a way as we had to time to test a few mattresses but we had been there a little while before getting asked if we needed assistance. There was only one guy helping us and another family. It’s a long process and the waiting around for a member of staff to finish with another family can be quite a wait but saying that Colin was very busy with us all and handled it very well. Perhaps just have a few more members of staff available to talk too, it’s a big store to keep searching for staff.

Great customer service
Went to Bensons and was approached by Charlotte in a very friendly manner. She went out of her way in finding the right product for us and with discount, it was a great price for a very good product. Would highly recommend the Ipswich branch.
