If you want beds from Homebase, "homebase beds" is the search, and here's the plain guide. I can't see live stock or prices, so I'll focus on what helps you decide.

The short version on Homebase

Homebase went into administration in November 2024. The Range's parent company bought the brand and a chunk of the stores out of administration, and had converted 49 former Homebase shops into The Range stores, each with a 'Garden Centre by Homebase' concept, by 16 May 2025, according to Wikipedia. Sources disagree on the exact store numbers.

Buying beds at Homebase

Beds and mattresses: UK sizes are single (about 90 x 190 cm), double (135 x 190), king (150 x 200) and super king (180 x 200). Measure your room, including the space to walk round the bed. Test a mattress in the shop if you can, because comfort is personal, and check the trial and return period. For wardrobes and flat-pack furniture, check the dimensions against your ceiling height and allow time for assembly.

I'd compare beds at Homebase against two other shops before buying. Check delivery, returns and any warranty, because those can change the real price. If the Homebase offers are not quite what you need, it is worth comparing them with the latest B&Q leaflet and the current Laura Ashley leaflet before you decide.

What to know about Homebase

With Homebase, it pays to check the basics before you commit: the price including delivery, the returns policy, the warranty on bigger items, and whether there's a cheaper own-brand alternative. A quick look at the reviews on a site that isn't the retailer's own gives you a more balanced view.

Check homebase.co.uk or therange.co.uk for what's currently on sale online, because the brand and stores have changed hands.

Tips that save money and hassle

Online, fake reviews are a proper nuisance, but the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 now bans them and the dodgy practice of 'drip pricing' where hidden fees appear later. The main consumer protections kick in from April 2025, so the price you see should already cover unavoidable costs. If it isn’t, take a screenshot and complain to the retailer and Trading Standards via Citizens Advice.

Check the unit price on food and household shopping. UK shops have to show a price per kilo, litre or unit on most goods, which lets you compare a big pack with a small one. Bigger isn't always cheaper, and multi-buy deals sometimes work out dearer than two single packs elsewhere.

When a parcel disappears, the seller’s got the responsibility, not yours. Under the Consumer Rights Act, goods stay at the seller's risk until you or someone you've nominated physically takes possession of them. Should the courier mark it ‘delivered’ but it’s nowhere to be seen, first ask the neighbours, then drop the retailer a written note asking for a replacement or a refund.

The own-label range usually offers the best value, and Which? has repeatedly shown these supermarket brands are cheaper than the branded equivalents, sometimes by a wide margin, although taste tests can go either way. Try the own-label version of your most-used items and, if you can’t tell the difference, you’ve found a permanent saving.

When you’re eyeing buy-now-pay-later, remember that interest-free instalments are useful, but a slipped payment will rack up fees and blemish your credit file. Unregulated products lack the full protections of regulated credit and the rules are in flux, so read the conditions carefully and only use them for purchases you could've paid for yourself.

If you’re spending a bundle, set aside a bit of time to measure twice, check the returns policy, sort out how it’ll be delivered and who’ll collect the old piece. A little bit of foresight stops the all-too-common problem of a sofa that can’t get through the front door.

Trading Standards deals with misleading adverts, unsafe products and rogue traders, and you report issues through the Citizens Advice consumer service. If you think a shop has broken the rules, you don't have to take it on alone. Keep evidence: screenshots, receipts, emails and dates.

It’s worth having consumer rights memorised: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you’ve got 30 days to send back a faulty item for a refund, after which the retailer can only try to repair or replace it. Items have to be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and match the description, so any ‘no refunds’ sign can’t override that. Need help? Call Citizens Advice on their free line at 0808 223 1133 if the seller won’t cooperate.

When a big retailer sends you a text or email about a missed delivery, a prize or a 'reward', it’s likely a scam, so steer clear of the link. Instead, type the retailer’s web address yourself or pop open its app. You can forward any dodgy texts to 7726 for free and send suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk. If you’ve already handed over card details, call your bank right away using the number on the back of your card.

Timing matters. Prices on bigger purchases tend to dip around January, in the summer lull and around Black Friday, and groceries have their own cycle with weekly offers. If you can wait, note the price today, set a reminder, and look again in a fortnight. A little patience beats paying the first price you see.

Don’t toss the paperwork: hang onto the order confirmation, photograph the receipt, write down the model and serial number for any gadgets, and record the name of the person you spoke with if you ring customer services. It’s a quick minute’s effort that can change a returns hassle into a swift refund.

Make sure you compare the total cost, not just the advertised price. Delivery fees, service surcharges, subscription costs, extended warranties and extra protection plans can inflate the price substantially. In particular, warranties on inexpensive items are often pointless since the Consumer Rights Act already protects you for a respectable time.
