To buy a Next sofa?

[MrsR89]

I like the look of the Next Lilly sofas but I’ve read mixed reviews about the longevity of Next sofas. As many bad reviews as good ones. Anyone had the Lilly sofa?

If no to Next, anyone know of a similar one that doesn’t cost the Earth but is good?

We brought one in 2017 and still going strong.

That looks really similar to a sofa from Sofa.com and they are great quality. I don’t know if it will be much more expensive though.

I’ve got a Next leather sofa which is 6 years old and going strong. When I lived with ex-DH, we had two Next fabric sofas and an armchair. They must now be 10+ years old and he still has them.

We had one lasted ages.

@Sherararara You had the Lilly sofa specifically or just a Next sofa generally?

We’ve had 4 Next sofas over the years. I’ve given them to family members when we bought new ones and they are all still going strong.

We’ve just sold two Next leather sofas that are 7 years old, still comfortable and we only sold them because they didn’t fit well in our new house.

A Next sofa generally.

We bought 2 Next Stamford sofas in chenille fabric. One has lasted 11 years and still in daily use. One lasted 2 years, with very little use, and needed replacing as it developed a squeak when anyone sat on it.
However, Next were brilliant. They arranged for a swap for another sofa. They no longer did the dark brown which we had, so we opted for leather version in virtually the same colour. It’s lasted 9 years up to now, and the one thing that really irritates me is that the arm cushions slide off all the time. If it’s still going strong when we redecorate the lounge, then I’ll bite the bullet and get an upholsterer to fit Velcro to keep it in place.
I’d have no qualms about buying from Next again, though.

My mother in law has next. About 3 years old and look great. Me and a friend bought from dusk. I’d reccomend as a cheaper price pint but great quality and still look great

I am looking to buy a next sofa in chunky chanille but have dogs anyone had one with dogs if so how does it wear over the years

Had ours for 10 years. Still looks like new with daily use.

Sat on my 15 year old next sofa as I type. It’s kept its shape completely.

Our living room sofas have survived 11.5 years and my two kids very nicely so far. They both look basically the same as when we bought them.

Well this is interesting we're going to be looking for new sofas after Christmas and I hadn't really considered next, I will be now

I bought a next sofa and snuggle chair 12 years ago and they are still going strong, look almost as good as new and still very comfortable. I've been very impressed with their longevity.

Mine are 15 years old, still as comfortable as ever

I had a next sofa for over 10 years was really good quality, only changed it as wanted a complete change in the living room.

I've got 2 next leather sofas. about 7/8 years old. No idea what the sale is called. So comfy and in perfect condition.

We have a couple of Next sofas, 10 years on and they’re in better nick than a Loaf one what was twice the price about 4 years ago.

A previous Next sofa we had was a good 10 years old before we gave it away. Still going strong.
