Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 47 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the incredible comfort and high quality of the futons and mattresses, explaining that these items provide wonderful support for daily sleep. Shoppers also appreciate the friendly customer service team and the smooth, prompt delivery process that makes ordering entirely straightforward. However, some people mentioned specific issues with the merchandise, stating that certain mattresses felt unexpectedly soft, caved in during use, or suffered from damaged seams shortly after arrival. These occasional setbacks caused noticeable frustration for a small group of buyers who expected better overall durability and consistency from their purchases.

Very helpful

When I phoned asking about specific items you spent time really dealing with it. Very helpful. Prompt delivery. Good communication from the delivery team. Am very happy with the futon. I wanted one that was chemical/off-gas free as I am sensitive to this- I was helped with this on the phone and am very happy with the end result.

Great quality at a good price

Useful initial discussion about size and usage, then delivered pretty quickly once ordered.
Futon looks and feels well made, obviously it's early days but it's comfortable to sit on and feels firm enough for a good nights sleep!

Best customer service experience I've ever had and excellent quality product.

Best customer service experience I've ever had! Excellent quality futon bed roll. 5 stars all round! I had last minute Christmas guests and needed to organise last minute sleeing arrangements. After reading the reviews for futon247, I decided to call to ensure the futons would be delivered in time for Christmas and Peter was SO helpful and kind and reassuring. As promised, my 2x monk futon bed roll arrived the next day, delivered by Peter himself! I was completely blown away! THANKS so very much Peter for being an absolute legend - you ROCK! You singlehandedly saved Christmas for my family and I. My guests slept so well and gave the futons 5 stars for comfort🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

The company went above and beyond

The company went above and beyond to change delivery and get the delux monks bedroll to my son on a suitable day, even phoning while on holiday to sort out my mess.

Very helpful information from the lead representative at the other end of the phone. I had to ring up twice with a query and both times got straight through.

EXCELLENT SERVICE

Peter provided excellent service! He went above and beyond to purchase an item for me and kept me updated on the order's progress on a weekly basis. When the item finally arrived with issues, Peter took it upon himself to fix the problem. I would give Peter's service a perfect 10 out of 10! Would 100% purchase from them again in the future.

Excellent company to deal with

Excellent company to deal with. Good, friendly communications with regular updates from Peter, over a very small delay in delivery. The futon is comfortable and seems very well made. I'm so glad I found them online when searching for a futon using natural materials.
