DFS Patterdale Sofa

9 replies

We are looking to buy new sofas for when our renovation is (finally) finished later this year. As our building works have swallowed up most of our money, I have been looking at DFS sofas as they offer 3 years interest free.
The only DFS sofas I really like the look of are their Patterdale sofas. If you have these sofas, how do you find them? Are you constantly having to plump up the cushions (which is a real bugbear of mine!)?
Any honest reviews would be gratefully received, thank you.

We have them...and absolutely love them. Ours are 18m old now and still look perfect..which as I have a dog, a cat, and two tiny grandchildren here every day is a miracle😂. We have the coral one and the mustardy yellow one and when our other sofa dies we will get a third (probably in another bright colour!)
The only thing I would suggest is get the seat cushion upgrade...it's worth it. I do try and remember to turn the seat cushions over now and again but they keep their shape well.
The BEST thing is the velour type fabric... the delivery man told us to get a £5 suede brush from amazon and marks just brush off! Mud, a yoghurt spillage from the 4 yr old... gone! I did buy the stain kit and have only used it once when I knocked a cup of black coffee over and the coffee came out completely.

The downside... so comfy that I have fallen asleep and failed to go to bed too many times!!!

I like these ones. Could somebody please take a photo of the back of them so I can see how high up they are? And with the yellow, did you get the turmeric, the yellow or the pumpkin?Thanks

I think our yellow one is the Pumpkin. Sorry I can't photograph the back..they are a bit heavy to move and I have arthritis. The dimensions are on the website though :) We have a two seater and a three seater (and a pink footstool)

Interested in this thread?

Ooh, I also want one in coral and one in pumpkin- great taste @Sonolanona! I love the bright colours, so much more interesting and cheerful than dull grey. Great to hear that you’ve had a positive experience so far, thanks for posting.

I have the green. It’s a lovely sofa. We’ve had it two years nov and it still looks the same. We’ve have kids and dogs and it’s easy to keep clean. Any marks I just sponge off. I went for the more expensive cushions and they have totally held their shape 👍🏻

That's OK, don't worry! I was just wondering whether it was just cushion if I were to lean back! I will go and have a look at these on Friday - can't wait to get new sofas!

I'd like the green, too. I love all the colours and would love the pumpkin in another room, but I have red and green tiles on my fireplace in my living room so I think green would be best. Thanks to everyone for recommending them.

We have them and I love them. One pink and one teal. I want a yellow one too! I do however really dislike how low the backs are. I always stick a cushion on top of the back cushions to sit comfortably.

JonSnowedUnder · 17/09/2025 22:06

Love them. We went for the upgraded cushioning and theres no sagging or endless plumping.

Only issue we have is the blue velvet, it's an absolute nightmare for dog hair (got the dog after the sofa) which the coral velvet isn't at all.
