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!

Kennedy Ottoman base and mattress
Purchased a Kennedy Ottoman base and Sandown orthopaedic mattress. Took a month from order to delivery; that was more than acceptable.
Price and product quality was excellent and the communications from ordering to delivery were fantastic.
The delivery team (Stew and Lewis) were brilliant - friendly and efficient; can’t fault them.
