Customer Feedback and Testimonials

Got a futon and frame here just out ocollege in '83 and it has followed us around all these years. Now we're moving back to Cambridge - just up the street from Bedworks, and it is time to replace the futon, but the frame marches on...

Our recently purchased high resilency mattress is by far the best either of us has ever slept on!

Great after 30+ years - bookcase headboard.

I bought a futon from you 28 years ago and used it for years and years! Then it went to my mother. Now it's time to buy a new one. I'm glad you are still here.

Bought bed and cherry dresser in the mid-eighties. Meet J. four years ago and she had a futon also from Bedworks also from the eighties. We married three years ago combining our lives and Bedworks furniture.

I mistakenly went to Sleep's a month ago to get my bed. Sleepy's has yet to deliver my bed while Bedworks is delivering mine within the week. DON'T EVER DO BUSINESS WITH SLEEPY'S!

21 years ago we bought our first bed at your store. Great Quality.

We bought our first (and only) bed here in 1976 (when the factory/store was on the 4th floor around the corner on Mass. Ave.). It's been the one and only - good as new 30 years later! As our kids have grown they have gotten beds here as well! We have a good selection - all good style!

This bed is more fun than any I have ever slept on. It hides all my secrets and offers me elegance and serenity for my dreams. But it is the falling asleep part and the waking up part which are my favorites, because there is no end to how friendly and intimate my latex rubber mattress feels! Thank you!

I bought my first bed here in 1983 or so, and it's still in use by my nephew in college today. Beautiful workmanship!

Five beds, a couple of futons & now pillows! I guess I'm a happy customer!

A long time ago we decided it was time to stop sleeping on the floor, so we came to Bedworks. We still sleep on the platform today - 28 years later, though we have a latex mattress these days.

I've been to Jordan's and Ikea, and no one compares with your platform bed.

I love your platform beds. I bought one 25 years ago, and shortly after convinced both of my brothers to get one. We still have them today. They are easy when you are moving and I love the drawers underneath. So now we are back to buy a sofa bed. Thanks for such a terrific product!!

We bought our first bed and bed and headboard here in the early 80s. we have since bought two more - in oak and cherry. Now it's time for another sofa-bed. Thanks!

I won't go anywhere else.

Your design is excellent! It's lasted all these years. This is my third platform bed from you in 25 years.

We are back again 30 years later to replace the futon on the platform bed we bought here in 1976. Bed is fantastic - but the original futon is getting too hard, or we are getting too old - we have 5 of your beds - the best!!!

John and I met twenty years ago. So far I've purchased at least eight beds from him, one of them recently for my granddaughter, Rose. Today my daughter, Genevieve and her husband are purchasing a new beautiful bed while I'm sitting relaxing on one of the showroom's loveseat beds. Maybe I'll buy one! I love Bedworks forever & ever.

In 1978, John delivered my bed to a one room apt in Stoneham, MA - 29 years later - my wife and I are ready for a headboard and visit with John - Congrats on a long and successful career.

I bought a Floating Platform Bed in 1983, and still love it. The unique support design is not only exceptionally stable and durable, but after extensive googling I've been unable to find this design ANYwhere else - it's unique. I've re-assembled my floating bed after moving at least 6 times and the solid high quality fittings still work superbly. I now live at the other end of the Mass Pike -- Seattle, a futon-crazy city, yet no local bedframe could compare so I came across the country to buy additional beds from Bedworks. A great product.

We bought some high density foam mattresses for our camper van in 1981 before driving to Palo Alto. John drew us a map of the Bay area to explain where Stanford was relative to San Francisco. We used those foam mattresses for 24 years before putting them in the trash. We are thinking about buying a memory foam mattress for another 20+ years of usage.

Your beds and futons are so well made and look great over many years. After 20 years our futon served as our bed, now it is our nephew's bed and works fabulously! Thanks for great work!

Another customer from 1981! Who wouldn't come back with this kind of design and craftsmanship? All the best!

I've had two Bedworks platform beds since the 80's, still great!

John was so very helpful and informative and patient with me! I think I came in ten times before deciding on a bed, and each time he gave me info and support and space!

We bought a platform bed when we were married and are now still sleeping on it. It's the best bed I've ever had, no aches or pains. No backache. Now we're buying another one, but the old one is still good. It'll go into the guest room for another 27 years! A great bed and a great company.

Owner of three beds and 2 futon sofa's - all great - I have bought several futons to replace the originals. I remember the old slogan from when you used to make futons in your basement: "Fresh futons made daily!"

Wonderful bed, wonderful service on platform bed bought around 1982. Thank you John Buster!

My name is Berry Pierre and I have been a happy customer for about 10 years. I have not had any problems. A sturdy and strong bed that I can not part with - I love it. It has stood the test of time, and I thank you.

Old employees never die and neither do their Queen size oak platforms.

I bought a queensize platform bed from Bedworks in 1976 with a high resiliency foam mattress. I've moved it five times (which is tough on furniture) and my bed is still more comfortable than any other I've been on and is still holding together, including the mattress.

In 1982, Chris and I arrived from Oxford, England, rushing into Bedworks to buy a bed. Today, today one of the two adult children we have is choosing a platform bed from Bedworks! We have lived in school houses of all sizes and shapes - our platform bed fit every house bedroom dimensions . . . under windows, against a wall or in the middle of the room - a platform bed is the perfect bed for a nomadic professional.

You guys make a fantastic product! I've had mine for over 12 years. Thank you very much.

I bought my first and current queen platform bed and futon here in 1981. A few years later, I bought another futon couch. Today I'm here to replace the futon mattress for a tenant moving in. It's great that somethings remain the same 'almost' as you remember them! Thanks for the quality products!

Drove over 800 miles, back and forth twice from NYC, for one of the best looking platform beds I've ever seen! Thanks,

I've been a longtime customer of this store and have purchased all my beds from Bedworks. My 1st platform bed was purchased almost 30 years ago and I still have it. I've been in sales at Bernie and Phyl's for almost 10 years and I've sent customers here who were looking for a really good quality bed!

Have had a floating platform bed since 1980. Survived through siblings, dogs & moving. Now own a double & queen. Long lasting and solidly built.

I just got an oak platform with a firm foam mattress to bring to Ann Arbor, MI. The last mattress I got was a futon in 1990! Thanks for the back support!

Had a Bedworks custom platform bed for at least 10 years. Thought of you when I needed a second higher platform. Found you on the web and came on down.

Bought a Bedworks platform bed (Queen) with two drawers and a futon back in 1985 (or so) . . . we still have the bed, but are downsizing - so we came in for another platform bed. The old bed will go to my neice - so we'll keep it in the family! The futon went to a friend when we moved from Holliston to West Roxbury a few years ago. Everything is in excellent condition 20+ years later!

We are back after 23 years to replace our mattress. Still love our frame so we won't be changing it today.

Dear Bedworks, thanks for the great products. Have owned them since 1987 & they last and last and last, thanks again!

Thank you for the wonderful bed and futon, it is now a dozen years (and two boys) later, and it is as comfortable as the day we got it!

We are moving and I found the original receipt and I couldn't believe it's been 13 years. We've had the futon sofa, chair twin bed /loveseat you sold us. The microsuede pillows are still in great condition - unbelievable!

When I was a medical resident at Cambridge Hospital, We bought our 'on-call' bed here in 1981. It was great. A few years later I bought my own double bookcase headboard - still using it - GREAT

We've had one fo your platform beds for nearly 30 years and your bunkbead for 20. We've just given one of the bunks to an 80+ year old aunt. So your products have now spanned three generations in our family. If we ever have grandkids... Thanks for sweet dreams

I am buying my second be here (1st was in 1983!) I love the design and work and wood. (Went to Jordan's furniture - way too massive and clunky)

Bought expensive Crate & Barrel bed that collapsed after 3 years and is now held up by piles of wine specialty magazines - Bedworks will replace this mess with a life time warranty - Great

Bought one Floating Platform Bed in 1980. Best bed in the world with a good 10 inch futon. Looking at one for my son. Still going strong in Cambridge when many others are gone. I have had no back problems ever.

I'm so glad I found you. I must have looked at over a hundred beds on about forty web sites and was getting more and more depressed until I found your graceful floating platform bed. Exactly what I wanted!

I've had a Bedworks bed frame for more than 25 years and have appreciated its simple geometry which does not age stylistically and can be combined with other styles.

Thanks you for the Studio Lounge. It's turned out far better than I imagined. I custom made a new cover, added three wedge bolsters to the back, and three custom pillows. Overall, it's a fantastic sofa and it makes a nice bed. I've been sleeping on it a lot. The firmness can't be beat!

[after delayed shipping and an uncomfortable mattress from a Florida mattress company] Bedowrks straightened us out - Thank goodness! Great advice - as always - and a quick ship and expert handling so that our new mattress arrived on Virgin Gorda quickly and we were back to comfortable and sound nights sleep. Thank you Bedworks! Your quality, service and friendliness are always outstanding.

We love our Floating Platform Bed on Block Island. We've had it for 7 years!

Thanks for the new Bookcase Headboard! I 'lost' the last one in a divorce settlement (she left me my CDs but wouldn't leave the headboard!)

I've bought every bed I've owned since 1976 at your store - 5 in total I think - through 2 marriages, a kid and tons of visitors. They've all gotten a great nights sleep. Keep it going.

We've loved our platform bed for almost 30 years. My almost 31 year old daughter slept on a Bedworks child-seize platform bed (w/toy and clothing storage drawer). Thank you for many good years of sleep.

Your products are absolutely amazing! I purchased my first futon and bedframe 15 years ago and I am back today for a new futon. The frame is still amazing...I am considering a floating platform bed, but oh what to do with a wonderful, functional bed frame? I can hear my friends thinking "great gift!" Thank you for a great product and please keep doing what you are doing. It works!

I came back to the place where I purchased my bed years ago because it's the most comfortable bed in our house. Thank you for still being here

Great frame and mattress. Bought in 1999 and still in great shape - very comfortable to sleep and sit.

Owned a Bedworks bed in the 70's. Best bed ever - easy to assemble, extra storage, and most importantly very, very comfortable.

Bought a bed upstairs in 1980. Still holding strong. Love your products.

I can attest that black metal futon frames are the "pits." I tried to pick one up off Craigslist, and it was bent in 3 places and could not be "bent" back into the couch position.

You saved my futon with the idea of the wedge!

Bought my first East/West in 1986 and 3 or 4 of them later, am STILL using it and STILL loving it. Quality, well made, no tears, and still gets plenty of action! Thanks for a great product!

We bought a sofa bed here in 1989 when we moved to Boston, and it still performs well. How nice it would be to give your our business more frequently than once every seventeen years!

This is the most comfortable futon I have ever sat on!

Found the foam wedge here and love it. I no longer feel as though my futon couch is a trap of some kind. It rules! =)

I love my futon chair. Since I bought it at the end of August, I have never slept in my bed! It is so comfortable as well as beautiful.

9 years ago I had no bed, I used to work nearby, I decided to buy a futon. I have the same futon. I came in because we need another one for our guests. Thank you for selling such quality sleeping futons. I wish I never had to get up. Thank you!

We have three (3) futons we've purchased over decades. Yes, decades. Everything is great - we've had the unit so long the warranty has even expired.

We have 4 kids and never buy anywhere else. Thanks for many years of happy sleep.

Having this cover on our futon with it's matching pillows makes all the difference in the world in our living room; it is now really warm and comfortable, too.

I love my futon, frame, pillows, cover. Absolutely no complaints. I wish I loved everything I buy like this, and sleeping in the futon is a miracle.

You're still here! I bought 2 futon beds and a sofa 18 years ago. They're great - we are here for more.

This is my 4th futon from Bedworks. I really like them. Thanks,

This big college girl was once a tiny baby whose first bed was a cradle cushioned by a custom futon mattress made by Bedworks. Now, she is leaving home to travel north to college with a box of books and a beautiful Japanese style futon-sofa for her dorm room! Thank you!

I purchased a futon sofa/bed from Bedworks in 1991 and it has been in constant use since. It is in mint condition (Other than a few scuffs - my fault)

IT ROCKS

I love your store so much that I keep returning after my first visit in 1976.

We have a convertible sofa bed and the futon is so much more compfortable to sleep on. What a great place to buy a futon! John is very knowledgable about bedding & futons.

We bought a futon from you for our first child in 1985 when we lived in Cambridge. Now we live in Newton and we are buying an empty nest memory foam to put on our platform.

We've had your frames forever - they're great and they're undestructable!

Your futon has been with us for the past 15 years, to three different homes. It is superb. The only regret is that we can't get a new one because this one feels like new, Thank you.

Still as much fun as in 1979

These futons are terrific. I have seven Bedworks futons in my home in New Hampshire. I've had them for more than ten years. I've never had a problem with any of them. After a decade they remain soft, comfortable and supporting, as good as when i bought them. The beauty of these futons is that they allow your body to relax completely when you sleep, that is not possible with a spring mattress and box spring. Regardless of how much you pay. The futons are now incredibly well engineered. Simple design, simple materials, well constructed, durable, comfortable and healthy. Thanks,

I wanted to let you know that I went to 3 futon shops and had a quote in hand to purchase a wall hugger from another company. I decided to stop in at your store to make sure I was making the right decision on a previous futon quote and I'm glad I did. I met John and he was extremely kind and knowledgeable about futons. He explained why the wall hugger was not the best solution for my needs and showed me several better options. I ended up purchasing a futon from john and was extremely happy with the service and professionalism he and his staff showed. I would highly recommend Bedworks for all your futon and mattress needs. Thanks John!

I've had 4 futons over the years and this is the best one I ever had. We even moved and it is still intact.

Arrived to replace the mattress of 16 years; the frame is still great!

The quality is great . . . like that it's a cottage industry . . been shopping here 20 years

Our futon was delivered and although we didn't have the cover yet I fell asleep - soundly - for the saturday afternoon nap. Heavenly!!

Back to get a replacement cover for a 20 year old maple sofabed. Great products!

We bought our futons, three of them, here 15 years ago and we love them. Our upgrade is to return here to purchase a new cover.

In 1985 I purchased a basic futon, now 2008 I'm shopping with a friend who is going to try the Virgin 10 futon, and I'm buying a new futon as well. i think i'm due!

The futons are all so comfortable!

I have been sleeping on these futons for over 30 years!

I recently graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta and will be attending Harvard Divinity School this fall. Upon arriving in Boston today I was unsure as to where I would be laying my head this evening. Until visiting your store I was quite certain that for the first night I would be on the floor. However, thanks to your excellent staff, I will be on a very comfortable futon this evening. Before I came to your store this afternoon, I stopped at a couple other furniture stores in the area. None of the staff at those other stores made me comfortable and thus I did not purchase any item from them. Your staff not only made me comfortable, but I'm sure that my purchase is superior in quality in comparison to other futons sold in the surrounding area. Thanks again!

We are moving to California and my wife refuses to give the mattress up. It has been a very good experience for her back, helping her sleep tight! Thank you for the great mattress!!

Came in to buy my third East/West. Bought my first one - a twin - futon no frame for my tiny closet sized room in my first apartment after college. upgraded to a double with a bed-frame a few years later. About 20 years later my daughter is sleeping on it, but it's had a few spills and flattened a bit, but We like it so well, We're back for another!

I have three cats - claws cannot tear through my microsuede cover. 2 Cats are extremely hyper and use my furniture as 'launching pads' - no tears! Claws will mark material, but simply brush in opposing direction and marks dissapear! An amazing solution!

Back for another after 20 years. Great buy!

I bought a futon couch here when I was 28 and it's still working just fine now - I'm 53! Great quality and very friendly employees (helpful too)

I remember when Bedworks first opened (I'm dating myself) and I bought my first futon. Since then I've bought four beds, some belong with the kids, all in great shape and very functional. So here I am again. I just love the workmanship and the service - people are great here. No wonder they have been in business so long! I'll be back,

Back for the 10th futon cover for a Bedworks couch / queen bed of oak purchased in 1977

I adore my couch! The month I've had it has been the most comfortable month since I moved to Boston! I can't wait for my matching chair! Thank you!!

We bought our first futon here 30 years ago and have returned for several more. One futon is slept on every night and is still comfortable after 25 years. We are pleased with the design of the frames, mattresses and covers. And now the beds are so much easier to open and close! Thanks for the good service and for not moving from this location so that we always know where to go for a sofa/bed.

My son's Bedworks futon and frame has been dubbed 'The best bed in the house!' My husband and I vy for the chance to lie down with him at night. Now that he's in middle school, though, he's not so sure he wants us there! We may need out own 'best bed' soon!

I have a chair made by bedworks. I switched it to an Eames chair. My aptients erupted, they wanted the Bedworks chair back. They reported it was soft but firm, sturdy and comfortable. Thanks much!

Thank you for quality work! I have purchased furniture here since 1980. All other brands have fallen apart, but yours remains.

We looked at all the big furniture store options and found the fold out sofa-bed/futon styles had a very uncomfortable beam running down the middle. They also did not have many fabric options. You have a great choice of futons and fabric.

Love my futon for over 4 years. Top of the line Queen size, so comfortable!

This is an absolutely great place! We are so happy with our other two futons that we will bring them all along to San Diego this summer! Thanks a lot Bedworks!

We bought a couch at Jennifer Convertibles less than one year ago only to have three of the springs break on us - leaving us with a sagging couch! Don't go cheap - especially with Jennifer Convertibles!

We have a double futon from John in the guest room and people say: what a wonderful bed. What is it? We tell them: it is a futon!

Looking elsewhere - Ikea has dreadful couches and convertibles. ' Regular' furniture stores do not have teh quality for the price.

We've had your furniture foever - the East/West mattress lasted for more than 20 years. Pure comfort! We bought a second one.

Been coming here to buy futons and frames for my whole family since the 80's, love them - thanks!

We've had our futon for 30 years - frame for 10, and will finally be replacing the mattress.

Just like that battery bunny, my East/West mattress keeps on running after 10+ years.

Here we are again for the fifth time in 15 years, not because the futons we bought wore out fast, on the contrary, because they're so good that everytime a new a new bed needs a mattress, we come here. Thanks for the good advice and good products.

Back for 3 more after 24 years! Great product, great people!
