Bedtime
Heaven provides a very good range of sex toys, clothing and bondage
gear. They don't stock magazines or DVDs.
The site is straightforward, uncluttered and easy to use.
The basic categories are listed on the traditional left hand side of
the page. The wide range of products reflects in the fairly long list of
categories. There's also a text search for a product or brand.
In addition to product types, there are also options to select cheap
sex toys, offers and clearance items.
An interesting idea is to highlight 'sex toys coming soon'. These
seem to be imminent releases rather than those those scheduled in the
distant future.
I particularly liked the flexibility available after having selected
a category. The products can be sorted by release date, name, popularity
and price.
The amount of information presented is spot on, with additional
information and larger pictures available on request.
I also liked the 'Recently Viewed' feature maintained on the right of
the page. There is a also a 'Top Sellers' list and featured products as
suggested by Bedtime Heaven.
Website policies are prominent, clear and well presented.
Email is the preferred contact but there is a phone contact during
office hours.
Bedtime Heaven offers free batteries, free delivery over £30 and
emphasises secure ordering and discreet packaging/billing.
There is a free membership option that qualifies for a good discount
and site visitors can subscribe to a newsletter.

As we watched the premier I was surprised, relieved and even a little
shocked to find that Swingtown was very well done.
I was intrigued that the show seemed to have gotten so many things
right, from the clothing and the music of the 1970s, to the attitudes
and motivations of newbies, vanillas and seasoned swingers.
The show, which throws an unsuspecting married couple into the
burgeoning 1976 swinging scene of suburban Chicago seems to be written
by people who definitely have some understanding of the lifestyle,
because... I want to live next door to the Deckers.
The shop itself is fitted with beech slat wall with cream inserts
leading down to tile flooring in marble effect. Chrome grid wall
separates the DVDs from the toys and lingerie, We carry over 1500 DVDs
on display, and customers can browse without feeling they are being
looked at by others looking at toys or lingerie.
Glass cabinets carry the best sellers like rabbits, glass toys and so
on. The front window also has chrome grid wall on the inside and this
area is mainly for our range of leather products, like whips and bondage
gear.
We are now in our second year at Evesham, and we have been a great
success not only with locals but surrounding areas. We encourage people
to touch, feel and enjoy. In other words we not only give them advice on
any product we sell, but remove it from the box, insert batteries and
show them the product features, good and bad points. By being straight
forward, and honest we have a lot of repeat customers and new customers
from recommendation.

I was met by a charming couple who showed me around. The main room was
fairly large and held lingerie and PVC outfits and lots of sex-clubesque
designs. I was also shown into the leather and bondage themed side room.
After that we toured the toy room. The grey carpet and white walls
left it feeling rather clinical and the small range of vibrators did
little to fill the walls.
With no films, magazines or atmosphere, this was a rather curious,
but pleasant shop.
In
the June issue of ETO, their Mystery Shopper was in Bolton, visiting the
town’s adult stores, visiting 6 stores in the town.
Out of the 6 stores under review, the Nice’n’Naughty branch was the only
store awarded the maximum 5 star, As good as it gets in any retail
sector rating for its store.
The review went on to say: Inside, the shop has an excellent
selection of R18 DVD’s; Male and female staff added a pleasant air as I
admired magazines and a great toy wall, all to the strings of some
gentle calming music. The space was utilised wonderfully, with a central
isle holding bondage bits, lingerie and Kinky Heals. Another bell from
the door told me I was no longer shopping alone, and a busy shop is a
good shop.
Philip Price, Area Manager for the branch, said that it was a
testament to the dedication from the company’s staff and the commitment
they give to their customers that keep them market leaders in the adult
retail industry.
Was greeted by a very friendly bubbly woman who asked if I needed any
help shortly after I started looking about. (I declined so can't comment
on how knowledge of the stock.)
Fairly standard sex shop bearing this name, one wall dedicated to DVDs,
the opposite dedicated to vibrators and the like.
Not much in the way of clothing, and a limited range of magazines (all
of which were sealed in plastic bags).
A little of the common boxed rubber skirts, opera gloves, masks etc, but
nothing to interest the experienced fetishist.

A pleasant, bright, reasonably sized, provincial sex shop, not at all
sleazy, with lingerie in the window.
Quite a few novelty items for less bold shoppers. A good selection of
tarty underwear and bedroom play costumes (though I'm not sure who some
of them would be a turn-on for). Plenty of toys for the girls
(including, I think a couple of cheap strap-ons). Could possibly do a
little more when catering for the guys in terms of clothing or toys,
though there was a variety of butt plugs available.
I didn't notice much fetish wear, other than a few cheap items.
Slightly surprised to see the small range of magazines include some
titles you can find in pretty much any newsagent.
Excellent range of DVDs - the highlights being several anime titles
(I've struggled to find R18 animated films up till now), they also have
a small number of films they produce themselves and you can rent films
from them too (£20 joining fee and then £5 for 7 days.) One screen was
running with an example movie.
The woman serving was very friendly and chatty and gave me a loyalty
card - buy 6 DVDs and get one for free.
