New bed, mattress & headboard
We purchased a new bed, headboard and mattress yesterday for our grandaughters. The service we received in Metro Retail Park Gateshead was second to none. Louise the sales representative was lovely, she was very friendly and efficient she was very knowledgeable and informative about the beds and mattresses. She was helpful without being pushy....which always puts us off. We will make Bensons for Beds our first port of call for any future bed purchases. If we could give 11/10 we would! Thanks again to Louise and Bensons for Beds. 😊
