Lovely, helpful staff at Colchester, Rob was particularly good. The bed arrived promptly and was easy to put together, although the instructions weren't that clear, so we did it without them! I think... See more

Very good delivery
Very good delivery, called first and we’re on time. They put the bed together as there were electrical fittings and made sure everything was working and took the time to show us
No issues with the bed at all.

Really pleased with new Tempur mattress and the in store process for helping to choose one was surprisingly good. The staff were also very helpful at the Colchester tollgate store. Delivery was around a week so also very good. Would use Dreams again.

Excellent but the assistant manager was rude.
Our experience at dreams was excellent. We dropped in only to have a look. After a few minutes the sales assistant Rob, came over and explained what was on offer. Having gone through the process of lying on the bed analyser Rob showed us two beds which would be suitable for us. Rob then went to get us both a coffee and advised us to lie on both beds and get a feel for which one we would like. Robs manner, courtesy and assistance was so helpful and we decided to buy the bed and mattress. He went through everything systematically and explained the whole process. His guidance manner and helpfulness should be recognised.
One point which does NOT reflect on Rob was the rudeness of the assistant manager. We had just laid on the bed after Rob had gone to get us a coffee, he asked us to move off the bed as he had customers who wanted to try it. Dutifully we got off but he was very rude to ask this and didn’t have the courtesy to even say thank you! He needs training on customer engagement.

Just purchased a new king size bed mattress in the Christmas sale. Store manager was extremely helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. I was put on the machine to help me choose the correct mattress. I was very impressed with the machine. And got a great Christmas sale deal on my mattress.
