Bensons: Reylon or Hynos beds

Sunny_Saver

Hi

Does anyone have a discount code for Bensons beds or Reylon beds please.

I really like the Reylon Memory Foam Advanced 1250 Kingsize Divan. It's price at Bensons is £749 (down from £799) not really a bargain in my book, plus you have to pay £30 for delivery! Which I find really expensive! And hopefully all you Moneysavers will agree with me and not find me tight .

I also like the Hynos Sleepcare Grande, which again is £749, but this one is from House of Fraser ...

If anyone has any bed-buying advice, please send my way!

Thanks!

If you are buying instore from house of frazer, then try ebay for gift vouchers. Sometimes bidders go mad and end up paying face value for them, but sometimes you can get them for 10 or 20 percent below face value. (Of course if you're really lucky you might even get them for half face value or less!)

I just had a quick look, you are right... they are almost up to face value and probably will be by the time bidding finishes. What's the point?

I will try this too! The bed I saw was in Debenhams, and the guy offered me 20% off the shop one, but the base was scuffed and the mattress looked dirty due to people's shoes etc, so we didn't go for it.

Thanks.

The reason why they can afford to knock the price down so much is because many bed retailers put a up to 400% (sometimes even 500%) mark up on the beds. This is why some people think that there is something dodgy about beds sold on line for much lower prices. I often get asked if our beds are seconds or bankrupt stock, but the truth is that for on line stores the overheads are lower.

But I doubt if I will be able to negotiate at House of Fraser .

It's reduced by 60%... and it's still +£700!! Also I have to pay £100 to have a divan with drawers!

I just checked on the web, the bed is back at £799 and quoted as a special price... cheek!

It's a buyers market. If they won't negotiate then go to someone who sell for a reasonable price in the first place, or go to someone who will negotiate.

Try ebay, and try makes that aren't big brand names because the prices on them are often bumped up (just like you pay more for a T-shirt with Nike on it, than you would for a plain T-shirt).
