Where best for fabric sofas?

[r0ck]

We've only ever had hand me down sofas but just moved and our beloved sofa is too big for our lounge. So sofa shopping we go!

Any recommendations where to buy a good quality fabric sofa? I've heard mixed reviews on DFS, but do like being able to look in person so somewhere with an actual shop is preferable (tho not essential)
Thanks!

I love sofa.com, they have a couple of showrooms and great customer service free biscuits and wine.

Thanks, hadn't heard of them so I'll take a look initforthewine

We just bought a sofa dot com sofa from their ebay store (leather, not fabric though). Love it. Love it more as it was nearly half price. It is immaculate.

If you're anywhere in Surrey, this place is great www.seriouslysofas.co.uk/range/contemporary-sofas

I'm nowhere near and got the most fabulous custom made sofa which cost the same as a chain would have.

What's your budget? If you want to make an investment then Multiyork are brilliant, but go in the sale!

Arighi bianchi for me, fabulous shop in Macclesfield

Arighi Bianchi here too

If you're in the midlands or not far, look up furniture makers in long eaton - it's a big upholstery area and they supply to a lot of the big name stores.

Thanks for the suggestions - quite a few I haven't heard of so I'll check them out!

Yy sofa.com seriously good customer service, they have a showroom in Chelsea if you choose popular model, delivery time is usually very quick.

We also have sofa.com sofas (a sappily named 'love seat' and a 2.5 seater), great customer service, good value, easy peasy to buy from.
