Benson's for Beds

Bensons for Beds calls themselves Britains Biggest bed specialist. Im not sure if this is true or not as the stores, although large, don't tend to have masses of beds on offer. From 'Britains Bed Specialist' I would expect to see at least 100 beds from around 20 different brands. In reality you're lucky if you see 40 beds from 4 different manufacturers. Stores are usually out of the town centre with plenty of free parking. They are usually open 7 days a week. When you walk into a show room the predators are lurking, ready for you to sit on or express any interest in a bed. When they do come over I've found that they don't really have too much ...  Read the complete review

We have just purchased a Bensons bed from Debenhams in Gloucester. We had been looking for a reasonably priced bed fro our daughters bedroom for some time and had our eye on a lovely cream metal framed king sized bed (Lily) on dispaly in the store. Customer Service.

Anyway, after an innocent query into delivery times for a particular line, next thing I knew I was handing over my credit card and purchasing a mattress. ...  Read the complete review

This review is mainly based on the Bensons Beds in Gloucester, which is a concession in Debenhams, Kings Square. For about the last five months I have had my eye on a gorgeous chocolate leather bed in Bensons Beds. Many times I have purposely headed out of my way into the homewares floor just to gawp at it, but as my husband dutifully reminded me, it wasn't cheap at £499 and there is nothing wrong with the bed we have. I was also slightly put off from Bensons due to my mums bad experience with them three years previously. The bed she ordered included free duvet, pillows and linen which sounded like a good deal as they were upgrading my brothers bed from ...  Read the complete review
