UK sleep specialist Bensons for Beds has delivered its strongest profitability performance since acquisition in 2019, alongside sustained sales growth and market share gains, despite a challenging consumer environment.
For the 52 weeks to 27 September 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached £4.8m, a £5.7m year-on-year improvement and the Group’s strongest EBITDA performance since 2019.
Gross ordered sales increased by 4% to £324.8m, marking 13 consecutive quarters of sales growth, with the business continuing to outperform the wider bedding and furniture market and grow market share.
Trading momentum has carried into FY26. Performance for the first four months of the new financial year, including the Peak trading period from Boxing Day through to the end of January 2026, has surpassed the 4% sales growth delivered in FY25, with EBITDA also ahead of the prior year.
Bensons added that key highlights from FY25 include its continued market share growth in core categories, strong improvements in conversion and average transaction value and the addition of 21 new stores moving closer to the Group’s long-term target of 200+ locations.
During the year, Bensons for Beds continued to strengthen its national store footprint, including the opening of a Tottenham Court Road flagship store. New and refurbished stores are delivering strong returns within six months of opening, supporting further targeted investment across the estate in FY26.
The manufacturing division of Bensons for Beds also reported a growth in sales and profit. According to its latest filed accounts for the same period, total sales rose to £45.6m from £41.3m in 2024. Pre-tax profit resulted at £1.2m, up from £1.1m recorded the previous year.
Nick Collard, Chief Executive Officer, Bensons for Beds said: “This has been a really important year for Bensons for Beds. It’s still a tough market and there’s no getting away from that, but what’s genuinely changed is how we show up every day for our customers and for each other.
“We’ve invested in our people, our stores and the overall customer experience, and stayed focused on what we can control. The improvement in EBITDA and cash generation reflects that, but behind the numbers is a business that feels more confident, more capable and more consistent.
“I’m especially proud of our colleagues and their dedication and expertise. Being recognised as a Great Place to Work and winning industry awards during the year really matters, because it reflects the culture we’re building and the standards we set ourselves. That shared sense of purpose – helping customers get a better night’s sleep – is now coming through in stronger performance and a more resilient business.”
