Max was great once he realised that I wanted to buy a mattress. He explained the different types and how the base would impact the mattress. Overall a good and quick buying process.

STAFF FAILED IN THEIR DUTY (from not following sales protocol), leading to UNDISCLOSED FEES, i.e. theft of money. Also unacceptable delivery standards which led to failed delivery.
I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE with a UK retailer as I have had with Bensons for Beds.
MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO KNOW THIS: When buying a mattress, the store staff did NOT make me sign their customer checklist and did not explain the 20% cancellation/reselection fee at all - not verbally, not in writing, and not before I paid. That is the core reason I am leaving this review that nobody can trust Bensons.
I spent £1,408.99 on a mattress, on 10 June 2026. I was NOT asked to sign any checklist confirming that I understood a 20% penalty. I was not shown or talked through this policy before paying. The Terms and Conditions link was only emailed to me AFTER THE PAYMENT had already gone through, even though the T&Cs say I need to read them and understand them before the sale - THE STAFF DID NOT DO THIS. In my view, that is completely unacceptable for such a significant charge.
The delivery on 24 June was equally poor. The delivery team made one brief attempt to get the mattress upstairs, then refused to try a reasonable alternative angle. I was not asking them to damage or force the mattress — simply to try rotating it differently. Instead, one of the staff went outside, called the office without consulting with me, and reported it as a failed delivery. The mattress was then taken away. I was left having paid over £1,400 with no mattress.
When I went back to the Colchester store the next day, I was told there should have been a customer checklist showing that I had been made aware of the 20% charge. I asked him to find my signed copy. (As I heard him curse under his breath...) THERE WAS NO SUCH SIGNED CHECKLIST COMPLETED BY THE SALES STAFF WHO DEALT WITH MY PURCHASE. I had never seen it before. To me, that says everything.
Bensons are now trying to say that if I want a refund, they will only refund 80% and keep 20%. I find that OUTRAGEOUS. They did not deliver the mattress, they did not get my agreement to classify the delivery as failed, and they did not properly inform me of the 20% charge before taking my money.
Their customer service response has also been deeply disappointing. Rather than acknowledging the obvious problem — that I was never made to sign the checklist and was not properly informed of the fee — I was told I would need to wait for internal checks and for the salesperson to be asked what he remembered. That is simply not good enough.
The documentary evidence is clear:
- no signed checklist,
- no signed acknowledgement of the fee, and
- Terms and Conditions sent only after payment.
This TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with Bensons for Beds has caused huge stress at the worst possible time, as we were moving into a new property and needed a mattress to sleep on. Instead, we've been left without the product we paid for and then tried to penalise us financially for a failed delivery that I dispute.
I am 100% dissatisfied with Bensons for Beds. Based on my experience, I would strongly warn other customers to never buy from them. Do not rely on what is said in store. We have had no mattress, no proper accountability, and Bensons trying to keep hundreds of pounds. What's more, after the delivery failed, the customer services team never got in contact with me to discuss options for a replacement etc.
ABSOLUTELY AVOID BENSONS, and I will not stop in this case to get a full refund due to the negligent duties of their staff.

Friendly and helpful assistance.
On day of delivery the two workers were extremely helpful and friendly. Couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommended.
£50 to have old mattress taken away is a bit steep seeing as their main competitor does it for nothing.

Mattress Delivery
Delivery was on time, the two delivery men Terry and Carlos were polite, helpful and efficient.
Unfortunately the branch manager was curt and very abrupt. Hence we avoided him on further visits to the branch. The other assistants were very helpful and polite.
