Sofa advice - Can anyone help me please?!

Hi everyone,
Our SCS 3 seater leather recliner sofa is falling to bits after 16 years. The sofa itself is still very comfortable but the mechanism is now beyond repair.
Has anyone bought a new leather 3 seater recliner sofa in the past year which has lived up to its promise?
It’s such a big expense and we have been worried by the bad reviews for the main sofa companies out there. We don’t know who is trustworthy and where to start looking.
Any help and advice would be most appreciated! Thank you.

We've bought a corner recliner leather sofa from SCS back in October. It's a power recliner so takes a while getting used to that rather than the manual. I love our settee, it's very sturdy & we've already changed the seats round as didn't like the original way we had it. It was quite expensive, and we've got it in 3 years free credit & also warranty as with very bouncy children, there's no guarantees that it will stay in it's pristine condition!!

Mine isn’t leather recliner but we’ve been very happy with our sofa from Ikea. It’s unbelievably comfortable and great quality. Might be worth looking there.

Thank you for the tip on IKEA, I’ll have a look and see if they do recliners.

Can’t see any recliner sofas on their website now that I’ve looked. Loads of chaise longue sofas which is what we have (complete with sofa bed).

Ours was from the Delta range at SCS in the dark grey leather.
Good luck with your search!

@MissCalamity - Thanks so much, we’re going to have a look tomorrow.
