Slumbers Of Stanway
We were once quite happy with this business and they have certainly benefited from our sustained past custom. However, we were recently left with an expensive yet very unsatisfactory mattress - which we had to dump.
Our complaint about its faulty nature was dealt with by sending people over to view it once we had (as a matter of urgency) bought a comfortable replacement elsewhere.
A few days, later we received a brief, unsigned note in the post telling us there was no fault - and that they could not help us.
They did not even have the courtesy to put our name above the address line - or indeed sign the note.
As a disabled person who requires a comfortable bed that does not collapse at the edge - I feel that they could have handled the situation with far more grace and compassion.
My advice to anyone choosing a mattress is to do a lot of research - because the industry is skewed against people being able to make proper price and quality comparisons. For example, factories produce generic grades of mattress which are given a wide variety of 'names' tailored to individual businesses; such name labels are actively designed to throw off the consumer in their desire to know precisely what they are buying.
