Really good company

Really good company. I ordered a new mattress -sophia penelope brier latex medium double.
My old mattress was an expensive one but after 3 years it became really uncomfortable for me so I started to surf the Internet for a new one. I read reviews and looked at many mattresses.
I finally chose one and so glad I picked this company . After months of backache and uncomfortable sleep I'm finally having a good night's sleep and no pain. The mattress is supporting my body properly. I love it. I paid a lot less for this new mattress than the very dear one I bought 3 years ago. I had to call them about delivery date and they were very helpful with this . Really pleased with the new mattress. Thank you 👍 😊

Excellent quality, efficient service

We bought an Ottoman from British Beds Direct and have been delighted with both the product (British made) and the service from the company, who sent samples of different fabrics and kept us updated about delivery.

Lovely ottoman

Lovely ottoman, very well made and beautiful. It was great to be able to order samples of the material for free too. The ottoman was made quickly and delivery was perfect- especially as the delivered straight to the room we wanted! Thank you!!

Excellent quality bed

Customer service was very helpful when I was ordering the ottoman divan and matching headboard.They mailed throughout the process from dispatch to delivery. Then checked that I was happy with the product after delivery. Very well made product. I have purchased a headboard from them previously and will definitely consider them again in the future.

Perfect Blanket Box

Really easy to order samples online, and to then select my options and place an order. My king size blanket box arrived within 10 days in excellent condition, no faults. It is a very heavy and sturdy box with an easy to open strap and gas lift hinges to keep it safely open. Very happy.

Awful experience


We ordered a king-size ottoman divan bed on May 25, 2024. Their website states they "aim" for premium two-man delivery within 5-10 working days. It has now been 13 working days, and we have not received any updates via email. Despite following up three times, the responses have been vague, mentioning issues with the fabric we ordered and stating that part of the bed is with the courier. We have received false promises about the delivery date and courier updates, yet no one has contacted us. As a result, we will likely be without a bed when we move into our new house. Additionally, we have been informed that the order cannot be canceled as it is in the manufacturing stage, and we would only be entitled to a 50% refund. Think twice before ordering from this company if you value your time.

Addition: The bed arrived three weeks late and had numerous visible holes and stains.... After numerous attempts to contact them, they finally agreed to send me a repair kit (!!) so I could fix the holes and stains myself, along with a partial refund. I received the repair kit and spent time trying to fix it to the best of my ability, but as of July 17, I still haven’t received the partial refund (reimbursement for all my wasted time).

Avoid this company like the plague.

Reply from British Beds Direct

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us. To assist you further, could you please provide your order number? We strive to deliver within 3-10 working days, though occasionally, there may be slight delays. Please note that we do not guarantee specific delivery dates but understand how frustrating it must be to be without a bed, and we sincerely apologise for any disruption this may have caused.

Currently, we do not have any pending orders that exceed the 10 working day delivery period, which suggests your order has likely been delivered. We apologise for any delay you may have experienced.

Kind Regards,
British Beds Direct Team

Lovely blanket box

Although the first blanket box arrived damaged, the company were quick to sort out a replacement. I am really pleased with the quality and finish and particularly like the soft closing mechanism. It is exactly what I was looking for.
