Your sofa is the piece you live around - where you unwind of an evening, gather the family and welcome friends - so it pays to choose carefully. Our range covers compact two-seaters for flats and snugs, generous three-seaters for family rooms, L-shaped corner sets for open-plan spaces, modular designs you can arrange to fit, and reclining and sofa-bed options that earn their keep, in fabric and faux-leather finishes to suit every scheme.
Below you'll find honest, practical advice on measuring your access, choosing the right size and depth, and picking a fabric that lasts - so the sofa you order settles into your home beautifully, with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
The most common delivery headache is a sofa that won't fit through the door, so measure before you fall in love. Note the narrowest point of the whole route - the front door, any hallway turns, interior door frames and, for flats, the lift or stairwell. A sofa can usually go through on its side or back, so compare your doorway's smaller dimension against the sofa's height and depth, not just its width. Check the diagonal on tight turns, and remember that removing a door from its hinges can buy you a few valuable centimetres. If access is genuinely awkward, look for modular or knock-down designs that arrive in sections.
Match the sofa to both the room and the people using it. Leave a comfortable walkway of around 60cm around the sofa where you can, and keep it in proportion with the room rather than filling every wall. Seat depth is what decides comfort: a deeper seat (around 60cm and over) invites lounging and suits taller people, while a shallower seat sits more upright and supports those who like to perch or find it easier to rise. Firmness is personal too - foam-heavy cushions hold their shape and feel supportive, while feather and fibre blends are softer and more relaxed but need regular plumping to look their best.
The covering sets both the look and the upkeep. Woven fabrics are warm, quiet and come in the widest choice of colours and textures - look for a high rub count and, ideally, a stain-resistant finish if you have children or pets. Velvet feels luxurious and rich but shows pressure marks. Faux leather is the easy-clean choice, wiping down in seconds and shrugging off spills and sticky fingers, though it can feel cool to sit on in winter. If in doubt for a busy household, a hard-wearing weave or faux leather in a mid-tone hides everyday life far better than a pale flat colour.
Measure the narrowest point of the whole route - front door, hallway turns and interior frames - and compare it against the sofa's height and depth, since most sofas go through on their side. Check tight-turn diagonals too, and remember doors can often be taken off their hinges for extra room.
Keep the sofa in proportion with the room and aim to leave roughly a 60cm walkway around it. A two-seater suits flats and snugs, a three-seater fits most family rooms, and a corner set works best in larger, open-plan spaces.
Faux leather wipes clean in seconds and shrugs off spills, which suits busy homes with children. A hard-wearing woven fabric with a high rub count and stain-resistant finish is also a great family choice and feels warmer to sit on.
It depends on how you sit. A deeper seat around 60cm and over is best for lounging and taller people, while a shallower seat sits more upright and is easier to get in and out of. Consider who uses the sofa most.
A modular sofa is made of separate sections you can arrange to fit your room and rearrange later. It's ideal for awkward spaces and tricky access, since the pieces arrive and move individually rather than as one large frame.
We deliver sofas across the UK, carefully packed, and every sofa is covered by our 30-day returns policy - so you can be confident it's right for your room and access before you commit.
