Excellent customer service
We were served by Karen at your Team Valley store. She was one of the most nicest people I’ve ever come across. Her knowledge with all things beds is invaluable and a credit to your company. She took the time out to understand our needs and gave excellent advice.

Poor quality 5 year guarantee
Medium/firm mattress started softening over the past year, 3 years old....not a problem I thought. 5 years guarantee.
No such luck....independent engineer has guide from manufacturer about sag and settlement. It's not sagging but foam just doesn't support my weight the way it used to..benson state its just the way it is....sorry bensons, a poor response, why not just give a 1 year guarantee then you would know what your getting.
5 year guarantee covers manufacturing quality only. So if its the poor quality products that are used its tough luck

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention Mark. We're sorry the mattress comfort deteriorated and that the guarantee process didn't meet your expectations. We'll review your feedback to see how we can improve our products and service.

Neal is a credit to your store!
Neal at Bensons for Beds in Gateshead was fantastic. Me and my partner have never bought a bed before, and just wandered in looking a bit lost. Neil was friendly, and even though my knee jerk reaction when someone asks if youre okay is to respond "just looking thanks!", he said that wasn't a problem, and gave us some information about their mattress machine which helps figure out what firmness you prefer if we needed it, as well as a brief outline of the shop so we knew what was where. We used the machine and figured out what we were looking for, then Neal kindly left us to it for a look which I thought was great. He was very knowledgeable and took our needs into consideration, and we ended up buying one of the beds he recommended, and will have delivery in 3 weeks!

Andrew was a perfect salesman - knowledgeable and friendly. We used the tester bed which gave us a read out of what mattress was suitable for us. The whole experience was fantastic
