The ‘Safe Lady’ scheme came about through a need that we have identified in the market place. You have car insurance companies aimed at women only drivers, you also have mini cab car companies staffed only by women drivers.

We would like to think that as market leaders in the bed trade that we have come up with a unique delivery service. If for any reason a lady feels happier, safer, or more secure by having a female member of our staff along for delivery, please feel free to request this. It’s free of charge and even though our delivery staff are part of our company, not outside contractors, you may be unhappy at the thought of two delivery men in your bedroom.

Maybe you have had a bad experience from a big chain and their delivery staff, or a small rude shop. Or perhaps it is a case of you’re having a bed delivered to your old mum and you can’t get away from work and feel that your mum would feel happier with a lady member of our staff on the delivery.

Reassurance is a wonderful thing. Very often afterwards people say there was no need as the delivery men were fantastic but that’s not the point. The point is that a female member of the public, whether young or old, feels comfortable on the delivery. Recently, a mum asked for this service for her daughter, moving from the Midlands to London, to an area she was unfamiliar with. The mum said they were going to buy the bed from us anyway, but as her daughter was feeling a bit homesick and vulnerable, this just gave her piece of mind.

Please let us know what you think of our service on Facebook – is this something you would use?
