Yet another satisfying visit to…

Yet another satisfying visit to Glasswells, Ipswich. We had attended in order to possibly purchase a new mattress.
We received excellent advice and pressure free service from Sally in the bedroom department, enabling us to place an order. An excellent, celebratory lunch followed.

Glasswells Ipswich

We were greeted by warm and friendly staff at Glasswells Ipswich on the 6/03/26.
Rachel on reception introduced us to Adrian Capper who was very knowledgeable on the products we were looking at and answered all questions we had regarding the furniture taking the time to explain all the options.
Very happy with our purchase.
Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Satisfied Customers


We recently purchased a guest bed from your store, with the kind and informative guidance from Peter. He was excellent in giving us information as to how the underneath bed could be pulled out and made secure. Peter was very helpful but not pushy which allowed us to make the decision to buy. His approach to us as customers made the experience an enjoyable one. Thank you also for keeping in touch with us regarding delivery, much appreciated.

The standard lamp when collected was in four pieces and lumps of polystyrene around main pieces. No bag or wrapping and it’s all over the car and me….. more B&Q than one expects at Glasswells. Let’s hope that when the chairs and settee turn up we are more impressed.

So as we were walking though we were looking at beds and sales assistant asked are we ok ,yes just looking no pressure from the sales assistant at all we had are food and came to a decision to take a second look at the bed ,we decided to buy we approach the sales assistant we 1st saw and made our purchase she was very easy to talk to and no pressure. In all a very good experience in-store.

Ben at the Ipswich store was super!

We came in looking to buy our first sofa and carpet, Ben guided us through the whole process start to finish, he expertly found us exactly what we were after and we were sold.
Ben then helped us pick a matching carpet alongside James to compliment our new sofa and now they are both in, they look great and are exactly what we were after. James helped us measure our living/dining room up for the carpet and get us booked in swiftly for installation and deliveries. Both made the experience very settling and couldnt recommend them more!

Happy customer

Fantastic service this weekend. Peter was knowledgeable about the range of beds, mattresses and headboards and was patient while I took my time to choose from the many available options. Got a good price on the sale and Glasswells will hold my items until I'm ready to take delivery.

Ben Saunders

Ben Saunders was an example of how to help a potential customer, polite, patient, knowledgeable about the products, and was not pushy, and he is the reason we will come back to Glasswells again.
