Recommend your sofa?

[SUPChallenge]

I'm buying a new sofa for my living room and need some help!

I love the look of the tan leather sofas and have attached photos of two that I like. The only problem is, I can't view either of them in person.

Has anyone got experience of either of these sofas or can recommend something different? Photos would be appreciated too!

Thanks!

The Dfs Thor sofa and Made Dallas sofa.

I have one from sofology bought during lockdown. I looks the part and its comfy enough but wouldn't ever buy a sofa without trying it first. Last one was Harris tweed sprung. Wish I had spent the money on recovering it.

We had a dos sofa similar to the first one and I hated it. It sagged really badly on the seats and the flat arms 'caved in' where people put pressure on them to stand up. I would avoid

Thank you so much for the advice.

I agree it does seem like madness to order a sofa without trying it. But it seems many many do when they buy from Made 🤷‍♀️.

I got mine from Next. While I was sat, gazing into the distance, a woman and her mum were looking at the same sofa. The woman said I should buy it because I looked so comfy and contented sat there.
I got the velvet one but think a cloth fabric would have been better as the velvet can be a bit slippery.
I'd never get a leather one, though. Too hot in the sun, too cold in the shade and too slippery every day of the year
