Quality

With sofas at these prices you would be forgiven for questioning the quality of our furniture. All our products are manufactured in one of our four workshops in South Wales by our expert team of craftsmen, many of whom have been with us since we started up 29 years ago. Unlike the majority of furniture sold in the UK today we do not supply cheap imported furniture but rather insist on continuing to manufacture in the UK, thereby ensuring the highest standard of quality control. By manufacturing in-house we maintain a strict control over parts and workmanship and also minimise potential transport damage.

All our models are stringently prototyped and tested to pass all relevant British Standards for General Domestic Use, and comply with current Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations. In addition, all fabrics and interiors are painstakingly sourced with durability and comfort in mind, and pass twelve independent British Standard tests (BS 2543) before we authorise them for sale.

All our products are guaranteed against any defect in materials or workmanship for two years from the date of delivery.

Price

Our prices are at least 50% lower than the equivalent high street prices of similar standard furniture. We can offer such low prices on quality furniture for a number of reasons. Firstly, and most importantly, because we manufacture all our products and deliver direct to the customer we bypass the retailer and his associated profit margins and overheads. Unlike other sofa websites we are not simply an online shop selling furniture manufactured by others. We are the manufacturer so when you buy from SofaSofa you buy direct. There are no middlemen making a profit between you the customer and us the manufacturer. Put simply, our prices are trade prices direct from the manufacturer. Also, because we have grown to become the largest direct supplier of upholstery in the UK we have substantial buying power and can source our materials at bulk discounts which in turn allows us to reduce our selling price.

Our Leather types

We offer seven different types of leather to suit your specific requirement.

Softgrain Leather
Pigment-dyed leather which is sanded to remove most natural markings, and embossed to create a uniform grain. The leather is then coated with a clear sealant to enhance stain resistance.

Saddle Leather
Semi-aniline leather which is coloured with natural aniline dyes and slightly pigmented with a clear top coat for protection. Natural markings and scars are retained to preserve the natural appearance.

New England Leather
Semi-aniline leather which is lightly brushed to create a soft handle and distressed appearance.

Antique Leather
Corrected grain leather which is stained with Florantique and coated with a clear sealant to maximize stain resistance.

Cambridge Leather
Semi-aniline leather which has a soft handle and variable grain structure. A slightly darker top coat is applied to the grain tips to produce a subtle mottling effect.

Oregon Leather
Corrected grain leather which is deeply embossed with a grain imprint and sealed to guard against staining.
