0 stars for your Reading store

Only giving two starts for the escalation team that had to pick up the pieces for the Reading store manager who tried to scam me out of £200+ for my exchange, called me up rude on the phone after I had been in the store twice to be told that the manager doesn’t start until after midday whenever he's on shift, took nearly 3 weeks from the first visit to get a phone call from him to be spoken to rudely, told I was only getting this amount for my bed when I had paid over £200 more for it, escalations at bensons for beds did amazing and sorted it out for me so thank you to them! If I could put 5 stars just for you guys I would but unfortunately I can’t.

Great service

We went in with the aim to browse as we hadn't found what we were looking for up to this point. Farooq was fantastic and helped us find what we had been looking for and was very good at price matching the mattress we had found elsewhere.
Farooq was very accommodating with delivery date and helpful throughout. Thank you for a great experience.

Bought good service

Bought via the internet. Customer service agent was polite knowledgeable and helpful.
Delivery team were great.Steve and Carl get the job done quickly despite it being a very warm day. Cleared up any packaging and explained what had been done.
In future need more info on dimensions of the bed base. The new one is 2 to 3 inches higher than my previous one. This makes it very difficult for my short and semi disabled wife to get into bed. My fault I assumed all divine bases were the same height.

In-store Purchase and Delivery Experience

General experience was very good with respect to purchase and delivery:
Store assistance helped making a decision. Guidance on post purchase activity till delivery were provided with great detail.
Delivery was as per planned date and time slot. I requested a specific time slot by calling. There was an indication that the actual delivery time can depend on some factors. Finally delivery people arrived before time which I tried to avoid to not have a missed delivery reporting.
Luckily things went okay.

Absolutely Remarkable Experience From Store to Delivery!

My entire journey with Bensons for Beds has been truly incredible. Right from the time my husband and I entered the store at Forbury Gardens and were served by the Sales Representative --- Arif; all the way till the bed and mattress were delivered by Gary Jones and his associate --- the entire journey was remarkable. Everyone from the team were incredibly friendly, kind, respectful and absolutely wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back to Bensons to buy the second bed and mattress for the guestroom in our house and will absolutely be recommending Bensons to everyone I know in the UK. Thank you sooooo much for the wonderful service. 10/10 with a solid 5 star rating.
Thank you so much.

Shayne the salesman understood our specific requirements and guided our choice in a very professional manner. The huge choice at Benson for Beds looked overwhelming at first sight and my wife and I required a lot of help to define our needs and purchase the correct mattress for us. Shayne patiently explained all of the areas to consider and we thanked him for his help which was most appreciated.
