Where on earth do you buy a sofa??

[salviapages]

I'm 28 and I've had a hand me down sofa since I was 20, my dad gave it to me when I moved out. It's still going on but the pillows are getting thin and I feel like I can feel the frame when I sit on it.

But I have no idea where is a good place for a new sofa or how much to budget? I've heard people say DFS is great and others say they're crap quality. I can't spend a fortune but I also don't wanna to spend too little and get something crap since that's just a waste of money. Where do I look??

I like sofa workshop if you have one near you?

IKEA. Had mine for years and very comfortable.

We have a DFS corner sofa that we’re very happy with. We’ve had it for 3 years now and it’s in perfect condition. We got ours on interest free credit so it works out about £25 a month or obviously you can also pay in full

IKEA here too (same story as you OP)
I didn't spend a fortune but a step or two up from the most budget ones and I love my sofa!

I got two lovely sofas on sale from Sofas and Stuff online.

Ikea or currently mines from sofology. If you go online you can get returns/ seconds for half the price delivered. I have kids/ dog/ cat so not bothered about perfection.

What’s your budget OP?

IKEA ones are great

If you’ve got a bit extra to spend Made.com do a really beautiful range!

An other vote for IKEA!

Although I also have a lovely leather sofa from Next... but that was ££££!

Previously used Sofa Sofa and was happy (pre-destructive toddlers!) and had a nearly new leather two seater from Next bought from friends, that was really good quality. Just replaced one from DFS, again, hard wearing and sturdy. We have a Made.com two seater. Their customer service wasn't the best. Ordered in a sale which ended a few hours later, promised it was in stock, a new sale started the next day and it went to 12 weeks delivery. Impossible to get hold of anyone to sort it out. Friend had a similar experience I later found out!

Really happy with loaf clever velvet - everything wipes off, lovely to sit on and super comfy

We’ve just got new ones from IKEA and love them

Wow, so much love for ikea sofas! Can I jump on and ask which ones you have that you would recommend?

Homesense if you can find something you like. Obviously hit and miss as to whether they’ll have something which suits. But I got one for £250 the other week and the quality is better than my CSL 2.5k sofa.

Just got some sofas from dfs after having hand me downs for my whole adult life. Absolutely love them and they're fantastic quality

Sofa sofa in wales. Brilliant quality, last for decades and are half the price as standard!

If you don't want to spend too much, there are charity shops which sell excellent 2nd hand sofas very cheaply. Also ebay - I love Halo leather sofas, and bought a huge, very comfortable one for my teenagers' den from ebay for a fraction of the new price.

We got ours from Sofology, we’re happy with the quality. Really depends on your budget.

Fc’bk Marketplace, Gumtree, etc. I’m constantly amazed at what people give away, are willing to swap, sell very cheaply.

Oh yes we’ve had the long delivery problems with Made as well. I really don’t rate their customer service at all

IKEA every time. Had my IKEA sofa about 16 years and just replaced it with another. Great solid build quality and comfort
