Credit Search showing up 3 times

Hi There,
Hoping someone can help, i've just checked my credit score in preparation for getting a mortgage in the next few months and i've noticed that my only credit search for this year has shown up 3 times, it was an application for a mattress that was approved but they've searched my account 3 times on the same day which i'm assuming is an error, i've raised a dispute with Experian but just wondered if anyone has had this before and if it's likely that they'll remove the 2 incorrect searches? My credit score has dropped because of it and it's the only negative thing on my report now so a bit worried it will impact my mortgage application.
Any thoughts appreciated!

Ignore the score.
Ask the CRA to remove two, but it's not a big deal if they don't.0 -
Are you sure that all three are hard searches?0
