recommend a good long lasting comfy sofa please?

[brimfull]

am open to all suggestions?

Oohh!! So excited! I've just won one on ebay!

It's velvet and very very big. It might turn up and be horrible but what do you think?

here

I can't think where it came from if it was £700 to begin with though

flight4 it was a good sofa, survived lots of abuse form my children (I never stopped my dc jumping on the sofa), my dd and ds had a game that they invented which involved launching off the arm and seeing how far they could jump along it, it was called 1,2,3, zeroooooo.

I think it depends how old the sofa is - so that ebay habitat sofa, must surely be quite new?, I am thinking of freecycling mine, to a person looking to do a re-upholstery course... but otherwise I think it will be going to the skip.

Hiya, no I don't stop mine jumping either! Well I do if he gets too carried away, as the one we have atm is very old put-u-up type thing with very big iron springs, I couldn;t fix it if one of them went twang iykwim!!

I thought this one looked habitatish too, but I don't think it would have cost that little new if it was. The castors look like nice quality though. Just hope to goodness i can keep it clean with two monkeys jumping on it/being sick on it/ well you know the type of thing...

at least it was quite cheap! (comparatively)

I wish I knew how to re upholster stuff.

Found this one on ebay too

Except it might want a bit of work

lol

We need to buy a new sofa too.

Sofasofa have been recommended to us.

Wow, just ahd a look at their site, they're so cheap!

Look like nice quality as well.

I'm very tempted by a second hand Heals one at the mo, but have just got that other one so had better not.

I was just going to say sofasofa, although their more expensive ones are the most comfortable. We have the Portland but ggirl didn't want brown leather (things are obviously a bit passe round here!)

They are great value for money, British made and nice classic designs I think, not like gimmicky DFS.

Heals, now, that would be a cut above.

In those home magazines the people with gorgeous looking sofas always get them from Habitat.
