Next sofa or Joules Patterdale (DFS)

[User12340000]

We are looking at getting new sofas and am torn between a few different styles at Next (Mabel and Foxton) or the Joules Patterdale range at DFS.

We got our current sofa from DFS 10 years ago and the base cushion covers are all coming apart and DFS don't do replacements and its not my style anymore. We had no issues with delivery/customer service back then when we bought it.

Has anyone got a Next sofa, if so, what style have you got? Are they any good?

Has anyone got a Joules Patterdale? They look lovely and I'll be going to sit on them next weekend.

I've heard that people have had delivery issues with DFS, is that still the case?

I don't want to make a big expensive mistake!

We've got the joules patterdale, I love it, drs delivery lead times are long, whatever they quote add a couple of weeks and then you won't be disappointed, we upgraded the cushion filling which I thought was well worth it ...

I wouldn't buy a next sofa again. Our's went really saggy after 4 or 5 years and became really uncomfortable to sit in. We also had a smaller 2 seater in the same range which didn't get used as much and it was fine, but the other one didn't stand up to normal use (2 adults and 2 very young children)

Have you sat on the Joules one? My neighbour has it and it's not aged well and is the most uncomfortable sofa I've ever sat on.

Agree about joules, it looks beautiful but is so uncomfortable
