Hip Hop 3 in 1 Wooden Bed Frame

"We bought the single for our son and found there is huge gap at either end, the slats keep sliding up and down with the mattress while he moved around on the bed. . I went to the branch where I purchased the bed and explained to the salesman who was not very interested and told me to call customer services as he could not do it because the phones were internal only? (not sure I believe that) Then he walked off and left us to it. We called customer services from the shop and they were very helpful . I thought that maybe they had sent the wrong length side rails as the guest bed is slightly longer to accommodate the underneath mattress. They agreed and very promptly sent me new set of side rails but unfortunately they are the same length and so we decided to put a few nails at each end to stop the slates moving. The bed itself is sturdy and otherwise good value for money but I do think the gap is far too large , this is an issue which should be rectified ."

"massive gap at either end with single mattress health and safety should never of past this bed , they know its a fault yet still sell it , consumer helplines advice can help you obtain refund on this bed ------------------------------------------------------- Bensons for Beds Reply: This is the correct design for bed frames. The mattress needs to be centralised (as with all mattresses on any bed frame) to give an even gap all around the bed frame for expansion. The gaps on the Hip Hop are extenuated because of the way the cross bars on the head and foot ends are set back inside the legs. All bed frames Bensons for Beds sell have passed BSEN 1725 British standard. Regards, Allan. "

"Good sturdy bed. Not impressed by the dowels that keep coming away at the foot end of the hip hop 3 in 1 bed. Was not informed at time of purchase that if you purchased a mattress from Bensons the bed is guaranteed for 5years instead off 1 year if you purchase a mattress elsewhere. I cannot get side rails now as the specifications of the bed has changed yet no-one knows what these changes are. After care is not on top of their list. Phoned within the first year about something else but they are not interested and put the blame on the customer. Always using wear & tear as an excuse. "

"We bought this bed September 2015 from Kingston shop - surrey UK. It look great from outside and it is convenient. But it is not solid as we expect t to last as many other beds. One week , the side panel is broken after my sone and his friend both weight 66kg) set on the edge of the bed at the same time. No jumping or missing about. It brook to two pieces. so it is not good and even look nice but not solid and will not last and the shop is not very helpful to find another piece of wood for us to repair this and the problem still going on."

"These are great quality beds that serve there purpose, the underneath bed comes already assembled all you have to do is put the top (headboard) and bottom on the main bed+ screw the bed slots on. Make sure your mattresses fit before purchase as the bottom bed will only take a certain height of mattress.These are easily assembled, the biggest problem was taking them out of the cardboard boxes as the were very well wrapped, all in all a good bed.

"I have three children and they all have this bed. They look great at first but now I am in year three and lots of the veneer has started to come off in several places. We have not had them placed by any heat. We have really looked after them but they all look terrible now. Am really sad as the design and shape look great. Just be prepared for the veneer to come off in three years!"

"excellent bed, I have the double and the single and all my foreign student guests find it extremely comfortable. Only reservation - I wish it had some discreet inset castors as you're not supposed to shunt it around and the double frame is a bit heavy."

"Saw this in the Horwich store and very friendly store staff explained that it was sturdy despite lower price. We bought it online having read reviews and we would recommend to others. No creaking and very solid. Delivered within 7 days of ordering."

"Brought this bed for my son, after reading some of the reviews I was a bit apprehensive. However I highly recommend, easy to assemble and very sturdy. My son loves it. Spare bed easy to pull out. No complaints at all."

It seems well made. Looks good. Fitted together easily. The spare bed underneath is great to provide spare beds in a children's bedroom without taking up any room. We've only had it a few months so can't comment on durability.

Brought this bed for my son; after reading some of the reviews I was a bit apprehensive. However I highly recommend; easy to assemble and very sturdy. My son loves it. Spare bed easy to pull out. No complaints at all.

"I am very happy with this bed. I thinkt he reviewer before me mustn't have a standard single mattress because I really struggle to see the reason for complaint. Thankyou bensons"

"Very solid product - my partner and I weigh around 24 stones and no creaking which we had with our previous IKEA bed. Would recommend. Delivery was 4 weeks so only 4 stars"

"I bought this for my son and it has been brilliant. Very sturdy and the spare bed is really comfortable. I will be buying another for my daughter when she's old enough!"

The only problem with this bed is that the bottom comes pre-assembled making it impossible to get up stairs! I have to take a window out to get it in the bedroom. Quite disappointed about this

Useful for when 2 guests stay but function is hampered by the mattress for the pull out bed being too big despite buying the mattress on salespersons advice.

Solid Bedframe. The trundle bed underneath pops up easily. I did underestimate the size of this bed; it is a big solid single bed. Daughter loves it.

We have had these beds for several years and used them frequently for visitors. They are very comfortable and work well as singles and a double bed.
