Happy customers

Neat-looking bed at a good price. Arrived on time.
Was pleased to find their range included simple, lower bases. My elderly Mum is v.happy & finding it much easier to get into.
Found staff really helpful by phone & email. They answered all my queries & quickly resolved a minor issue. Great customer service. Thank you.

Very pleased.

Very pleased ,we bought a bed base from them, pleased with the colour of the base , we opted for a more expensive material which looks like a soft brown suede colour. All was straightforward but we had a problem which wasn’t their fault but on ringing ,the staff worked diligently on our behalf , and it’s been resolved free of charge. Really pleased.

I can honestly say that this company provided me with excellent customer service.
I purchased a kingsize divan some three years ago, I moved home and sadly one of the Shepherd's castors came off and was lost during the move (this was due to removal person rather than quality of bed base).
I called British Beds a couple of weeks ago and advised that I now had a lopsided bed, they very kindly sent me 2 replacement castors with fixtures at no cost and this arrived before timeline needed.
A really great service from a company, whom in my opinion, is still operating with high standards. My experience with them has been faultless so I can highly recommend them.
Thank you to Sam & Adam both of whom made sure the castors would arrive in time!

Bed base

The low bed base is great, and just the right height for me. It is now so much easier to get into and out of bed without worrying about the risk of falling .

Corners not 100% clean.

The beds are fine, only gave 4 stars as some of the edges (corners) could have been cleaner. They had been packed like that.

Hi,

That’s so refreshing to hear. It sounds like the mattress delivered comfort in more ways than one. 🛏️ There’s something grounding about real human interaction, isn’t there? A proper conversation can make all the difference, especially when you’re navigating a purchase that literally supports your dreams
