Definitely the best place in the area to buy a new bed (we looked at various other bed stores…read morebefore we settled on Bensons). It's a large shop over two levels with plenty of choice of bed bases, mattresses, headboards and also bedding. You can take your time to view and lie on the beds. On the right as you go into the store there are a few beds with mattresses of different levels of firmness so you can compare them. Simon is just so helpful and friendly and was there to answer all our questions. He also knew when to leave us alone for a short while for us to lie on the mattresses to get comfortable! We bought a gorgeous bed and it was delivered on the date to suit us. We've slept on it for over a month now and couldn't be more pleased. I'm just giving 4 stars instead of 5 as the two men who delivered and set up the bed were very uncommunicative and a bit surly and didn't attach the headboard properly we did it ourselves after they'd gone.

Getting to buy a whole flat's worth of new furniture is pretty heady stuff. All the things to…read morechoose from! After some not inconsiderable searching on the internets, I'd managed to narrow down the bed I wanted to 1 of 5 frames offered by a combination of Ikea, Bensons and John Lewis. I'm pretty lazy though, so wasn't sure I could be bothered dragging my butt out to see them all. Thankfully, enter the Bensons for Beds summer sale! One of the frames I liked was being offered for not much more than half price, so I decided to check it out first as if I liked it the process would be suddenly much easier..... There are quite a few Bensons locations around Glasgow of various shapes and sizes but I decided to head to the Hillington branch as it was one of the bigger branches and relatively convenient to get to from home. Sharing it's space with a Reid's furniture store, it gives plenty to look at for those furniture shopping. As I'd already picked the bed frame I wanted, as well as a divan and mattress combo for the spare room, the only decision to be made on the trip was a mattress to go with the bed frame. I was there with my Maw, so obviously we dove straight in to trying them out. Probably, shouldn't have started with the £2000 memory foam, top of the line option. Sadly out of my budget but immediately ruined me for all other mattresses. We picked ourselves up though and with the help of the sales person tried a whole bunch of mattresses until I found the right one for the right price. I was impressed with how committed he was to helping me find one I liked best, very patient! He was also super helpful when organising the purchase and delivery, the one downside being that their finance system was down, so I had to return another day to get that sorted. It was worth it though as they offer 0% interest with flexible terms, and it was relatively easy to get sorted. Overall a great buying experience with a good choice of options available. In the end, thanks to the sale, I saved about 30% in total, so definitely worth watching for one if you're looking to purchase a bed. Can't wait for them to be delivered now!

John Lewis Glasgow is one of the largest department stores in the city, located at the top of…read moreBuchanan Street, as a part of Buchanan Galleries. The store may not be as modern as some of the newer John Lewis stores, but it makes up for it by having a nice selection of items you'd expect to find in a John Lewis from clothing to fragrances and technology. There is also an Optician and a Cafe inside. The store was still tidy and presented well. The store stretches over five floors, including a basement. There are toilets on two floors which is handy and I often find these both quieter and cleaner than the ones actually inside the shopping centre. There weren't too many staff members around the floor, although due to the size, it would be difficult to have someone everywhere. The staff seemed friendly when I did find someone. I do think it's a waste for such a big department store in a big city to be closing at 6 pm, other than on Thursdays, when they close at 7 pm. It just seems way too early, although it is in line with some smaller stores nearby, there are shops open later so I can't see why John Lewis can't either. One of my favourite stores in the city, I do prefer this to other department stores nearby. I do prefer the John Lewis in Edinburgh though, which after John Lewis in Aberdeen closed is their only other branch in Scotland. 4*

John Lewis Customer telephone complaints gave the now typical runaround - long wait time etc - before trying to claim it had been delivered to a neighbour. No. Different package.

Sad to see it fall into disgraceful decline.
