Reece was great

Reece was great, very helpful - try the bed machine that tells you where you need the support and what type of mattress you prefer - its great. Reece helped me find the mattress most suited and was very patient and informative.

The guy who served us was amazing—great people skills and helped us find excellent deals. We ended up spending less than we expected! There should be more employees like him.

However, my experience quickly changed when I went to pick up one of the TV beds. A lady opened the back gate, and I mentioned that her colleague had told me he would assist in loading the items onto my SUV’s roof rack. Her response was, "This is why we tell people to come with two people. He’s busy with a customer."

I was shocked. Before I paid, everyone was polite, but after, I was treated completely differently. I was left waiting at the back door for over 30 minutes. When I finally went inside, I saw her sitting at the desk, laughing with another employee. In the end, I had to load everything myself, using a bin as a ladder.

Because of that one person’s attitude, I will never spend another penny at this branch. Instead, I took my £4,000 and purchased a bed from Dreams. Customer service matters, and I definitely won’t be recommending this store to anyone

Karl was very helpful with the whole experience without being intrusive. I decided on a firm mattress and he showed us a selection and left us to try each one and discuss them. He took my order and everything was sorted very quickly. A painless experience! Thank you Karl.

Brilliant Staff

We called into the Carlise shop, whilst saying in Carlise for the weekend. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and extremely helpful, not pushy at all.
They impressed that much that we went back into the Carlise branch on Sunday and purchased a new bed even though our local branch was in York.

Excellent service.

The gentleman who dealt with us was professional, helpful and very knowledgeable, but he did not try to out any pressure on us at all. He explained the pros and cons of various bed we looked at and gave us an extremely good deal on the one we chose. The bed will be delivered and assembled for us and the old one taken away for recycling. What better service could anybody want?

The mattress we purchased was clearly not a firm mattress, we both "fell" into the middle. The "independent" examiner was not independent. The tests were useless.
It was resolved but we had hassle and were out of pocket for something we felt not fit for purpose.
We will not use Bensons again.
