Looking to buy my first new sofa having lived with family cast offs until now. Decent quality and reasonable prices or a good sale would be great.

Thank you for your guidance. I'm wondering if it is brave or silly to buy sofas without trying them out first!

Thank you. This is a nice way to spend a Sunday evening afterall! Choosing a colour feels like a huge decision. Fabric or leather? High back or low?

we bought our first brand new sofas (after 15 years together!) recently - we got them from Ikea. Really comfortable and very reasonable

I don't think I will ever buy a new sofa. Must feel very grown up!

Ikea Stockholm range is their "finest" range, and generally higher and deeper than the rest.

Made.com - the customer service is completely shit but the sofas are great - very good price, design, build quality.

I like the look of Loaf as well. Agree that Laura Ashley is great quality. IKEA I find too low; I think it's only for little people.

I'm probably no help to you - I'd start my search in the British Heart Foundation Cahrity Shop - they have some cracking suites in there but they are 2nd hand for minimal prices.

I've bought form sofa.com and was very happy indeed.
Also, my IKEA sofas have been really good value.

I have bought 2 from Tesco direct now. I have been really pleased with the quality and have had a lot of comments on how nice they are - people are always surprised when I say they are from Tesco. My friend has one from asda direct and that is fine too. Considerably cheaper than m and s, etc.

Our sofas came from LA sale 8 years ago and are still going strong despite DC climbing on them for the last 5 years.
