I spent over £2,000 on two beds and waited three weeks for delivery. I paid extra for delivery and assembly, expecting a professional service.
A few days before the scheduled delivery, I still hadn't received my delivery time, so I contacted the store. That's when I was told there had been a problem and they couldn't deliver on the agreed date. The only alternative they offered was another date weeks later, which was completely unacceptable as I had already planned around the original delivery.
When I decided to cancel because they had failed to honour the agreed delivery, I was told I could be charged a 20% cancellation fee because it was more than seven days after placing the order. Expecting a customer to pay a cancellation fee when the company is the one that failed to deliver as promised is unbelievable.
The whole experience was stressful, frustrating and handled very poorly. Customer service showed little flexibility or understanding, despite the problem being entirely on their side.
I cancelled the order, went to IKEA instead, bought two beds and mattresses the same day, took them home, assembled them myself, and saved myself a lot more waiting and hassle.
I would not recommend Benson for Beds Basingstoke. Poor communication, poor customer service, and a very disappointing experience from start to finish.

We are truly sorry to hear about the incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience you had with your recent order. We can see your original delivery date was set to go ahead but the time slot on this day was not convenient for you, we do apologise we were unable to change this time slot when you requested and instead offered alternative days for you to accept delivery. I understand the 20% cancellations charge was a disappointment to you, however the delivery was not delayed due to an issue with ourselves therefore the charge was applied. We will however take your feedback on board.

We were very undecided on what we wanted but finally made a decision with the help of the salespeople in the branch. The cost to remove old bed was high so decided not to have this. Apart from that all okay

First class service and competitive pricing
We went to two bed companies, bensons and another bed company. The difference is service was immeasurable. Tom was the epitome of professionalism and helpfulness and explained everything clearly and made sure that we were happy with our purchase

Knowledgeable staff
We were helped by a really knowledgeable and friendly guy (apologies I can't recall his name) he really asked questions to get to know our sleeping habits and requirements and spent time making sure we made the right choice. We didn't feel at all rushed and he explained everything to us about the products and how they would suit our sleeping style and posture. I was really impressed.

Knowledgable staff, stress free.
Stuart at the Basingstoke store was very knowledgeable, and help me pick out the right mattress and base for my Dad’s needs, what we needed wasn’t easy as I had very specific measurements from the rehab centre Dad is currently at, made harder by the fact that Dad wasn’t with me when I visited. The whole experience was stress free. I walked away feeling confident we had made the right informed decision. I came in near the end of day and wasn’t made to feel rushed.

Unfortunately this is my third mattress in 3 years. I have had 2 defective mattresses and on the second replacement Customer Service and store experience was awful.
Store manager rude and unhelpful.
Customer Service showed no interest in my issues and took days to respond.
It took over 2 months from initial enquiry to getting new mattress.
