The in store/ personal touch can't be beaten.
I went onto the East Kilbride shop with my husband after looking online as we wanted to try out the bed we'd decided on. The plan was go in, try it out and book online as I had been offered good discounts online, 5% discount for leaving the bed in my trolley and a10% off, half price mattress as well as half price build.
On entering the shop, we were met by Yvonne and Stuart the manager said hi in the passing. Yvonne asked us what our needs were and as I told her we were just into try the bed out and I told her it was the toulouse. She told us to try all the medium mattresses, not just the one we'd decided on.
No pressure, she left us to go through the store and try out.
When we decided on our bed, I told Yvonne we were ordering online and she said she would match all offers.
She was so organised and knowledgeable. Very friendly, not pushy.
She called Stuart to come and see the discounts I was offered online, in order to authorise the discounts. Not only did she match them she gave us two new pillows too.
On leaving after having made our purchase, my husband and i were both so delighted and in such a good mood. We realised we have missed the human touch and the in store experience. I would recommend visiting the store in person to anyone. It cannot be beaten.
The Internet is wonderful in that you can peruse and pick out what you want at any time of day or night. But nothing comes even close to the human touch.
