Not worthy trying

They have a terrible customer service.
If you want to try a new pillow get from another brand, many other brands allow customers to experience the pillow and if we dislike we can return free of charge.

Putnams does let you try the pillow but you must not remove the plastic, which makes sleeping with it impossible.
In addition, if you want to return the item you have to pay for it.

Be smart and get from another brand, don’t do like me and try a new pillow with this brand it’s 0% worthy.

Ah and if you need a pillow asap, also don’t get it from take it takes forever to arrive.

We send out our pillows in a sealed hygiene bag. This is for hygiene purposes. We recommend customers put this within a standard pillowcase to try the item before opening. Once this is opened the item is non-returnable. This is in line with all major UK high-street brands including John Lewis etc. We are sorry you were not happy with your pillow on this occasion. - the Putnams team

I have many problems due to a crash…

I have many problems due to a crash years ago and have just had more surgery on my arm. Therefore it is virtually impossible for me to find any Comfort or even sleep.
I am so grateful to have finally found a company like putnams who make quality products. I purchased their wool bed wedge, IT IS AMAZING! It is so soft and I have managed to sleep for a few hours for the first time in years.
I spoke to putnams before the purchase to ask their advice, they are knowledgeable and helpful, and If you have a problem they offer solutions to help you.
I also purchased their lumbar support which I needed help with as it was difficult to use with my fractured spine, and once again I spoke to Putnams, and once again they offered help to solve my problem.
It is unusual to find such exceptional service these days.
Do not hesitate to use this company if you need both comfort and helpful advice.
Their customer service is outstanding and their products are of the highest quality
Thank you for everything you have done to help me find some comfort after all these years

My pillow arrived late on postage

My pillow arrived late on postage ! when I opened the package the smell was pungent and sickly!, even airing and washing the cover the smell has stayed , it made my hair and bedding smell , I emailed them stating this but apparently some people smell it worse so that was all the nurses and friends and family ! The concept was good but definitely not worth the money or stink !! After this I was given a full refund and some wool stuffing to try so all ended satisfactory

Foam bed wedge

We purchased a foam bed wedge in early December, but unfortunately the item was not suitable for us and the matter was immediately resolved. Excellent service!

Great company, I am a repeat customer!

I have two pillows from putnams, their butterfly type one and their armchair head neck one. they are both very well made and very good. originally I thought that the armchair head neck pillow would be good if a thinner version could be created as its a bit to thick for me when on the sofa. HOWEVER it was a revelation when Putnams explained that I could open the cushion and unroll and cut the padding to size!! BRILLIANT! thank you Putnams! i got it as I have cervical nerve root problems and found it worked. I'm giving it 5 stars for the quality, and speed of arrival

Really comfortable pillow which helps to reduce my neck pain. I first went with the queen but swapped to the king as I wanted it to be larger and slightly higher to support my neck which is quite long. Great quality pillow, fantastic customer service and I'm very happy to buy from a British company

100% Excellent

I ordered a specialist item (bariatric seating cushion) which is superb and of excellent quality. It more than met my expectations and is superbly made. I have worked as a nurse for 20 years so know what good pressure cushions are... and are not...

Service and delivery were excellent and that was over the Christmas period too. I will be using Putnams for my following items, and their product reviews are all highly rated.

Delivery timesT

Ordered 19th December. Nothing on the website to say they close for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year. I got an e mail saying they reopen on 2nd January and orders would be sent out after that. Now 7th January and it’s still not here.

We had guaranteed Christmas cut off and delivery information on our delivery page. We make every order by hand and are extremely busy around Christmas so set these expectations out for customers. Sorry you did not see this but it was available for everyone to see. You also selected the free standard delivery service not the next day service that was available. - the Putnams team

No Refund Policy if not happy with their product

I bought one of their pillows as recommended by a friend. I tried it out for a few nights. It pushed heavily on my cerebellum and gave me headaches during the day and dizziness when I got up in the night. I tried to return it BUT if it's not in it's original plastic sleeve, you can't get a refund... so how many people do you know who try out a pillow in it's plastic packaging??? So effectively they have NO REFUND POLICY... which is shocking since their foam pillows are SOOOOO expensive. Don't bother buying one I'd say!

Hi Charlotte, all our bedding products come in a sealed hygiene bag that has stickers on stating "once opened this item is non returnable" this is due to hygiene reasons and is in line with all the major high street brands. We welcome customers to try pillows under a pillowcase or similar (whilst still in the hygiene bag) to make sure they are happy before removing the packaging. We are sorry you were not happy with the pillow on this occasion. - the Putnams team

I wish all companies were this good!

I foolishly ordered and paid without considering all the options and Putnams were so relaxed about cancelling and refunding my order even though they had packed it for postage. Will definitely reorder when ready.

Superb service and excellent product …

I was at my wits end to find a suitable pressure relieving cushion for my husband as he had developed a pressure sore and was very uncomfortable.
I managed to find Putnams on line and wanted to get verbal advice on the most suitable cushion. Customer Service was very helpful and patient while I took measurements of our chairs .
I purchased the Sero Pressure Dr Huff cushion cut-out standard and the courier company waited whist my order was packed up and transported immediately. It arrived at 08.30 the next day and the cushion has been a life-saver.
I would like to say thank you to the lady who helped me.

Remarkable company

Remarkable company. Headley was very helpful and advised me on possible mattress toppers and pillows for neck/shoulder pain. The Ripple Mattress topper has been brilliant and much cheaper than other options. Sadly, I couldn't get on with the neck pillow. Headley offered a full refund on the extra case, even though long past the return limit - allowing me to keep the case - in case! Recommend them!!!

Awful service with no care what so ever

Awful service. I bought a wedge from Putnams previously, which was great. I then purchased a full length version, but it did not help with any of my symptoms, so I attempted to get a refund, at which point I was told that it was too late and they couldn't do anything for me. I've honestly never been treated so awfully, especially from a company that sells products within the health industry.

I REALLY wish I could have kept this…

I REALLY wish I could have kept this mattress tilter but sadly I couldn’t. I can’t fault the service though, fast delivery and very well packed. Good, sturdy tilter, BUT, oh my goodness the chemical smell was unbearable. Not sure what has been sprayed on it or what it was made from but my word the chemical smell took over the house. In the end we had to shut it in an unused room with the windows open all the time for a few days but it still had the strong chemical smell. There was no way I could sleep with that and I have lung problems too. My husband doesn’t have a very good sense of smell and he spent a short amount of time in the room and he came out with his eyes stinging! I don’t know if mine was a dodgy tilter or not but I don’t know how anyone could use it like that. Shame as it could have helped me. I sent the tilter back recorded delivery via FedEx (which was a total faff!) and I was given a refund minus the delivery cost.

Hello Lisa, sorry you were unhappy with the mattress tilter, it is made from UK made, CERTI-PUR foam, meaning it is non-toxic. However some people are sensitive to the "new foam" smell. I am glad you were pleased with our customer service. - the Putnams team.

I bought a U shaped pregnancy pillow from Putnams…

I bought a U shaped pregnancy pillow from Putnams as theirs is a little smaller (shorter) than the typical one which makes it more compact. The pillow feels nice and firm, providing good support for my legs and back. The customer service is responsive and the team was able to make me a cotton cover as I wanted that for use till summer.
