We recieved an excellent beducation from Andrew, he assessed our needs using the technology available and took us through our available options. He's a great salesman and wasn't pushy at all. He didn't even suggest finance, we mentuoned it and he took us through the whole process, not once did we feel like he was trying to push us.

If only I had been a week later
Bought a mattress from them,
very friendly staff, happy & polite,
I bought the mattress and the same week they had a sale and I could have got the same deal for £600 instead of £1000.
It would have been nice to have been informed of that coming sale and I could have saved some more money,

Great customer service
Andrew was very helpful and listen to what we wanted. He was very knowledgeable about products. This is not the first time I have bought a bed from yourselves over the last 10 years and also with my son when Andrew attended to us then. We are expecting delivery and assembly on the 6th and I’m hoping this will go without a hitch.
