Make your sofa your own
We believe that plenty of choice makes all the difference when it comes to picking your perfect sofa. From different fabrics to built-in audio and seats that recline, it's easy to find a sofa that's exactly right for you. Here's our experts' guide to features and details to look for.
How do you like to lounge
Sarah Humphreys, Senior Buyer says it’s important to think about how you like to lounge.
'For example, if there are two of you and you both like to sit with your legs up, then check that the sofa is deep enough to accommodate you both. Or consider a chaise end or recliner sofa, if you have the space to accommodate one. 'If you prefer to lie down on your sofa, make sure that it’s long enough for you to stretch out. Taller people may also like to consider a sofa with a higher back to offer extra support.'
Measure, measure, measure
It’s important to note both the width (the measurement across the back of the sofa) and the depth (the measurement from the back of the sofa, to the front). Take note of the depth of the sofa if you’re buying for a smaller room, as the depth of the seat rarely changes from the larger to smaller size sofas and consider the height of the sofa, particularly if your room has radiators or shelving.
One tip for making sure that your sofa will fit in your space is to cut out the shape of your sofa from newspaper and place it on the floor in the room. This allows you to check that you have enough space to walk around it with ease and that you’ve left enough room for shelves, radiators and other pieces of furniture, as well as the opening of cupboards, doors and windows. Finally, check the dimensions of any doors and stairways the sofa will have to pass through on delivery. If access is limited, you may need to opt for a low-back style, one with removable legs or even a modular design that can be delivered in sections. Or if you have a small room, consider a two-seater or a snuggler.
Invest in a good frame
Our sofas are made to stand the test of time so you can enjoy them for years to come. We are so confident in our craftsmanship that we offer a free 15 year guarantee on the frames and frame springs of your new sofa.
Fillings, it’s what’s inside that counts
Cushions go through a lot. We sit, snuggle, eat, even sleep on them. Throughout it all, they need to be comfortable and supportive. However, not all cushions are created equal. Whether you like a firm and supportive feel, or you enjoy sinking into a sofa that's squishy and soft; we offer a range of cushion fillings that is right for you.
Beautifully simple manual
All of our manual recliners can be set in 3 different positions. Strong, sturdy and superbly comfortable you can be as laid back as you like.
Easy electric
Our electric recliners are great if you'd like to position and put away the recliner at the touch of a button. They can be set at different positions to suit you and are the perfect way to unwind.
Power to you
Our power recliners are ideal if you're looking to keep your room clutter-free as there are no wires to hide away. Offering all the benefits of electric recliners, they can also be recharged overnight.
