I purchased a mattress 2022 and the springs collapsed. Sealy decided to fix it but it’s like the worst feeling to sleep on now . I have a back injury now . I decided to to buy a bed elsewhere The owner of forty winks decided to ignore me and block my emails as I wanted a full refund . Just warning you if you don’t want a current affair from… Read more
channel 9 turning up on Monday let’s come to a reasonable refund as you were quite rude to me on the phone. The mattress neally cost $5000 The business you moved from burnt down and it’s a no wonder treating customers this way. Refund or current affair and legal action

Cheltenham and Brighton Store – We have just bought a bed, had it delivered then went back and got the sheets to fit the bed. From the moment we walked into both of these stores we were welcomed, felt our custom was important, friendly and great services which included the delivery and assembly. Would highly recommend Forty Winks at Cheltenham and Brighton. Thanks guys for all your assistance. Christine and Ken Show details · 1
Fantastic loft bed – The loft bed is amazing. My daughter loves it. The service was amazing, delivery date met on time. Was missing a small part (from manufacturer, not the store) which I was worried I would have to pay for.... No, they found one, delivered it to me in person very promptly and I was impressed Show details · 1
Forty winks-terrible quality – We brought the Byron bedframe and bedside tables and the quality is terrible! We spent over $3,000 and whilst advertised as ‘quality hardwood’ the bedside tables are completely damaged after only 3 months just from using it to place books or phones on. We requested a repair/return and were declined saying it was extreme wear and tear, we have only had it 3 months! Will never purchase fortywinks products again
Worst store I have ever seen in Melbourne – My wife purchased a bed in the store, it was more than $2,000, and the bed collapsed itself. The store just totally ignored her; the store manager and staff seem don't care about their customers and reputation. Their attitude is rude, hang up on your phone if you called them. If you wanna waste your money and been treated like .... This is a place to go. Horrible service, horrible store, no wonder their score is so low. Show details

After purchasing a king size bed from the Highpoint store, I have experienced serious allergies as a result of the fabric and have not been able to sleep in the same room due to the sensitivity this is causing. The store was very quick to take my funds and have been failing to return calls resulting in several follow ups and being told I’ll be… Read more
receiving a call back only for this to not eventuate. I have also escalated the matter to the head office only to also receive the same response of call backs to be organised which are not eventuating. The lack of support and leaving me to sleep on a mattress in a separate room with no sense of closure or peace of mind has shown no regard to their obligations under consumer law and also my own wellbeing. Given this experience, I do not encourage any one to purchase from here as they essentially make your life difficult and cause you a lot of grief in the process. I will be pursuing this matter further if I do not receive a satisfactory resolution.
Fab customer service – hello. This is overdue but recently cam across my receipt and it reminded me to write something about the AMAZING service we had at this store. Husband and I decided that we wanted a new bed that day. We had heaps of cash and were ready to buy. We walked into MANY bed stores that day and received either below average service, or n o one… Read more
approaching us at all. Then we came to forty winks and met Andrew. What a top bloke. Friendly, not salesy. Answered allllll of my questions. Got out alllll the fabric choices for me. Even when I said i wanted to visit one more store before i 100% decided, he was super cool about it. Last store guy says to me, "yeah look when you are serious about buying come back' gross... made me leave right then and go spend all our dollars with our new mate back at Fortys. Super happy with our king size regis. And also had fun doing the mattress test thing so we both get what we need for our best sleep. Thank you again for a great experience. Have been telling everyone. Bec and Matt.
Exceptional service! – I wanted to share our great experience at Forty Winks Nunawading. My wife and I visited with our daughter to help her buy her first mattress on moving out from our family home. Mona was excellent, showing and explaining the different options available within my daughter's price range. We also visited a competitor close by where we also got great… Read more · 1
service but in the end my daughter decided since Mona had been so good and Forty Winks seemed to have the best option for her, we went back and she bought there. The mattress was delivered as arranged on Saturday 7/1/23. When we were about to unwrap the mattress on Saturday evening, we discovered the bag had a small cut and the fabric and foam of the mattress had also suffered damage. Mona was contacted by email that night and on Sunday was on to it already, making arrangements for a resolution. A new mattress was delivered Tuesday morning. I met the delivery guys to receive it on behalf of my daughter. They were great swapping them over but suggested they give the replacement mattress a close inspection before leaving. Would you believe they found a stain on the fabric (despite the bag still being sealed)! They were straight on the phone to the warehouse and confirmed another was available and had their manager check it thoroughly before immediately returning to swap it over. They were back again within the hour and then kindly unpacked and installed the mattress on the now assembled bed base. Dave and his colleague were fantastic, very professional and attentive and of course very apologetic about the issues. Although a little inconvenient, what matters is not so much that there is a problem, but how it is handled and these guys, you could not fault! Well done to all the Forty Winks Nunawading team from retail store through to the warehouse and delivery team! I can highly recommend them.

Many thanks to Misty and the crew at Forty Winks Frankston for looking after us above and beyond with a replacement mattress for one that didn’t work out for us after 12months. Misty went out of her way including coming in on her day off, to make sure we were happy with the replacement mattress process after trying to deal with the manufacturer. Cannot thank you enough Misty. Show details

Thanks for ignoring my emails . Don’t ever buy a mattress at this store , after 3 years of trying to fix a problem they have wiped their hands clean . If you have an issue with your bed they will try to repair it and buying a bed with rusty springs inside you have to wonder there practices .No refund offered next step legal action thanks!

Poor communication and furniture that tips over – The sales team on the day we purchase our bedroom suite was fantastic. They turned on one of the TVs that lift out from the bed to keep our kids entertained while we tried mattresses. We were told everything was in stock except the tall boy which would be about a month. 6 weeks later I hadn't heard so I called up and they said they were now… Read more
waiting for the tall boy and the side tables. So I said I would like the bed and frame delivered and I would pick up the rest from the warehouse whe. It was ready to avoid paying a second delivery fee. The bed was delivered no dramas. 2 months later I still hadn't heard about the other furniture so I called again and was told it was waiting to be picked up. So I drove to the store and was then told the warehouse was in another suburb. At no point did they question what car I had or the face that I was on my own planning to move this very heavy furniture. So I got to the warehouse with my SUV and was immediately told there was no way any of it would fit through the doors. Because it isn't flat pack. So I had to pay for the second delivery. Now we love the look of the furniture but the tall boy and side tables tip forward constantly if two drawers are open so the must be fixed to the wall. Which is fine except the fixings are so long that everything falls off the top of the tables when they tip. This is not good furniture to have with small kids. It's the Daytona suite for anyone who has read this far!

Had a really good experience at Forty Winks Narre Warren. Maryanne really knows her stuff and was super helpful without being pushy at all, which made everything feel easy and comfortable. All the staff were lovely too. Would definitely recommend!
Follow-up · Service was exceptional. The store was clean and well presented. I bought a queen bed Australian made from Maryanne. Love it!
Forty Winks South Wharf was excellent. I am a Forty Winks die hard as I bought my last bed and mattress from them 10 years ago and that experience was amazing. Recently, I was in the market for a new mattress and Amanda took the time to show me different options for my specific comfort level. The shop offered a free bed fit which was amazing and… Read more
provided possible options for the type of sleeper I am. Amanda's customer service was outstanding and she ran me through all the options in terms of mattresses as well as pillows. I was fortunate enough to take advantage of the birthday sales and I was pleasantly surprised at my savings. I would recommend anyone check out Forty Winks as I have and will do the next time I need a bed or mattress. Thanks again Forty Winks
Outstanding service with amazing customer care, listening to what a customer requires, even if you don’t think the product was even an option, certainly very welcoming staff in Andrew and Tina. Show details · 1
We had a scan done in store to advise which mattress was suitable. It was very helpful. Love the Plush mattress we bought. We sink into it but with full support. Great price when on special. Show details
Walked into store today to buy a bed for my daughter after having bought a bed through a different retailer and it not being delivered multiple times. I was greeted with a friendly team member who helped me find a bed in my price range along with arranging mattresses and delivery. The customer service matched when I bought my own bed from the… Read more
same store years ago. Will never buy bedroom furniture from anyone else. What a difference shopping in store makes as opposed to dealing with online stores who just hang up on you. Forty Winks Frankston, you are amazing at your jobs. Keep it up. I’ll be back to buy my son a bed later in the year. Thank you
So happy with customer service. Matt who I was speaking with in store was kind and helpful with selecting the right product for my needs. When it came to delivery Cooper who delivered my suitewent above and beyond to help me out with everything. Great Shop! Highly recommend Show details
Forty Winks Bendigo – James and the team at Forty Winks Bendigo always provide excellent customer service & have always given great advice. I have purchased many beds from Forty Winks Bendigo over the years and would not purchase my bedding anywhere else! The new showroom at Epsom is outstanding and the staff are a pleasure to deal with! Keep up the great work!

Happy customer – I recently bought a Forty Winks mattress in Springvale and I congratulate Gaby for her professionalism and customer service. I don't hesitate to recommend this store to anyone looking for a good product and excellent service
Great customer service – From the moment I walked in the store at Maribyrnong, I was approached by Martha with a friendly smile with lots of patience and understanding with my specific requirements. Thank you Martha for helping me choose my mattress. Wonderful Customer service. Thank you also to Tran who had a happy smile and made the store a happy place to shop.
Excellent Customer Service – Tran offered us great customer service. He was very patient with us and spent a lot of time explaining the different mattress types and what would suit us best. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Tran! :)
NEVER SHOP HERE – If i could rate lower than 1 i would. Horrible recommendation instore from [Name Removed], further horrible service from manager and owner. AVOID AVOID AVOID. unless you want to spend months going back and forth and having to go to the ACCC and Victorian Consumer affairs to be heard.
Thank you to TJ and Hannah for great friendly customer service – Walking into the Taylors Lakes store, could not help but to be drawn to the Whitehaven Bed. The styling/presentation of the bed was exceptional and guess what I bought the bed. Thanks to TJ for her great friendly customer service & to Hannah for the styling of the bed :)
Helpful, Friendly & Knowledgeable Staff – We were on a journey to purchase a new Mattress, Base and Bedhead and were not exactly sure of what we were after. On the day we visited Forty Winks Taylors Lakes, we were greeted by the lovely and bubbly Sales Consultant Hana who was very helpful and knowledgeable of all their products on offer. Despite the fact that we went backwards and… Read more
forwards to the store with questions etc., on several occasions, Hana was very patient and more than willing to take the time to assist us. We ultimately found something that met our needs and have been very happy with our purchase which we have found to be a quality product. We also found the store owner (don't recall his name unfortunately) to be very helpful and in conjunction with Hana did us a super deal. We have no hesitation in recommending this store and it's staff to anyone that maybe looking for bedroom furniture and/or accessories.
Martha sale assistant extraordinaire – Had a wonderful experience at Forty Winks, Highpoint. Martha was an incredible sales assistant; she was so patient and answered all of our questions. She took the time to explain all about the mattresses and guided us through all our options. She spent over 2 hours with us helping us choose a mattress, bed frame and guided us the whole time. We… Read more
never felt rushed or an inconvenience. Marth was funny, joked with us and made us feel special. 10 out of 10 for Forty Winks, I hope they appreciate the wonderful employee they have in Martha. Would 100% recommend Forty Winks.
Forty Winks FANTASTIC service – I recently bought a king mattress with base and bed head, queen mattress, king single bed and mattress and king single trundle with mattress from Forty Winks in DFO Essendon Fields. From start to final the service was amazing. Aaron (I think) was extremely helpful and actually listened to what I wanted. The delivery was fast (within a week or two… Read more
which was about 2 months sooner than other stores I had been to). The king base and bed head weren’t ready when the other things were delivered so they provided a temporary base and when mine were ready they delivered them free of charge! The delivery guys were also great, very polite and efficient. Thanks Forty Winks
