Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Very poor experience

Unfortunately, my experience with The English Bed Company has been disappointing.

The bed itself appears to be of good quality, but the slat system supplied was completely unsuitable. Around 30 loose slats repeatedly fell out of position, making the bed unusable and requiring constant adjustment. This was clearly not fit for purpose.

Once the issue had been investigated they supplied a replacement set of slats, which has resolved the problem. However, this only came after a significant amount of inconvenience, time spent corresponding with the company, and the frustration of having a brand-new bed that could not be used properly.

They have offered £90 compensation, which I appreciate as a gesture, but it does not reflect the level of inconvenience caused. I have also been left with approximately 80 redundant slats, which now need to be disposed of at my own expense unless the company arranges collection.

I expected much better quality control and customer experience from a company positioning itself as a premium British bed manufacturer. Whilst the problem has eventually been resolved, the overall experience has fallen well below expectations. If, like me you are looking to invest in a quality bed for a beautiful bedroom I would think twice before ordering here, not because of their product but because if you do have any issues they will not be able to resolve it in a reasonable manner.

Very poor.

Excellent purchase of second bed this year

We purchased our second recent bed from the English Bed Company and were not disappointed. Even though this new bed was a clearance item it nevertheless came pristine and the quality shows. They delivery company too was excellent and the guys had it installed in double quick time. Would always use EBC from now on.

Quality bed

The new bed has arrived and it is a piece of quality furniture. It looks good, and the mechanism of the ottoman is so smooth.
I’ve given it 4 stars because it was 8 weeks in the makings, not the 4/6 quoted and there was no communication to let us know how it was progressing. This resulted in the mattress we ordered being packaged too long and being spoiled 😔

Hi Mark, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the quality of your new bed, its appearance and the smooth ottoman mechanism. However, we’re sorry that production took longer than originally quoted and that you were not kept updated on its progress. We also regret the impact this had on your mattress and understand how disappointing this must have been. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the team so we can improve our communication around lead times.

Very comfortable, worth the wait in the end.

Having done a fair bit of research I settled on the English Bed Company for our new bed. The delivery time was scheduled for 6/8 weeks but was more like 13/14 weeks which was a little disappointing, however the bed has arrived and we are thoroughly impressed with it. Probably the most comfortable bed I have ever had.
It looks really great too and finishes off our bedroom nicely.
I would have liked more information about when the bed was ready instead of lots of emails asking for pictures of a bed I didn't yet have. I had to follow up with phone calls to find out any information. The delivery team were very efficient and put it altogether quickly and without fuss.
Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and comfort.

We’re really pleased to hear the bed has lived up to expectations in both comfort and appearance, and that the delivery team made the installation process smooth and straightforward. We are sorry, however, that the lead time extended beyond the original estimate and that communication during this period was not as clear as it should have been. We appreciate your honest feedback and will take this on board as we continue improving our customer experience. Thank you again for your patience and support.

Fantastic quality & craftsmanship!

We took delivery of our new bed last week and could not be happier, the quality of materials and workmanship is superb. We're delighted to have such a beautifully crafted & English made piece of furniture in our home.
Communication was great throughout, the delivery and assembly service provided was excellent and well worth the small additional cost.

Amazing quality and exceptional customer service

I purchased our bed 5 years ago and the service at the time was excellent. I contacted The English Bed Company recently as I needed to replace a few of slate holders (they got broken by our removal men in a recent move!) the service again was exceptional. The bed itself is of high quality and still in great condition even after a couple of moves.
