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!

I remember I used to work for a mystery shopper company and I once got asked to go here to do my nosey. When I first read the job description I thought that would be an awesome day out, lying on all the different beds to see what one was comfiest, then I read a bit further. My job was to go in, ask someone whether or not latex is a kind of memory foam. WHAT? Who asks that? I can just imagine some old married couple heading to Archers for a new bed... Bill: Oh that one looks nice, she's a beauty. Margaret: Oh, I'm not sure... Do you think latex is a kind of memory foam? I mean, for the love of all things bed related, why would that ever cross your mind? I did contemplate doing that job for the giggles, as the thought of marching purposefully up to some unsuspecting bed sales person to ask that still makes me chuckle but I ended up realising that for the £8 fee it was probably more hassle than it was worse and I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face whilst asking that question, totally giving the game away. All in all, a huge shop, friendly staff and competitive prices.

A lesser known bed shop this is a rare wee, well big, find…read more I stumbled across it a few years ago now, when my ex was moving out. In the split up politics I'd agreed to keep the hellish bed he'd MADE. Yes. And it gets worse. It was not a bed that sits on the ground. Oh no, this was a bed that was roughly seven feet high and sat a whole foot below the ceiling (I'm not going to answer your question). Kinda like a massive bunk bed but underneath it there was piles of his junk. Anyway, enough about the tree house. It's now gone. Thank God. But, in the break up proceeding, I'd agreed to keep the bed (well, there was no way for him to take it was there?) and he was taking the duvet, pillows etc. So off we endued a strained car journey to this place for the purchase of some pillows, duvet etc. It's a massive shop filled with a whole host of beds (as Eleanor has mentioned) and a good side selection of bed accessories including some sets of bed spreads and the like. The staff are pleasant, helpful and extremely easy to locate - something that is underrated. Meanwhile, the prices are reasonable and their products range from the cheap (and not so nice) to the luxurious. So there's something for everyone and every price range. Give it a go.
