Where did you buy your sofas?

[decmatt]

Got ours from Browns of York

 

[I get around]

Land of leather.

Paid about £900 for a 3 seater leather recliner sofa, a 2 seater and a recliner armchair.
The big ones like DFS/ MFI wanted upwards of £1500 for the same setup, even with their constant sale prices

My wife told me she wanted to buy a new sofa, I said fine wanting to avoid involvement. She said by the way it's £3,500 and comes from Laura Ashley. That got me involved and 30 mins later I had bought the exact same sofa (the sample made for Laura Ashley by the manucacturer) new through egay for £700.

John Lewis.

All the sofas we tried in DFS/SCS/etc felt like they were made from sacks of rocks.

 

[Westyfield2]

All ours is from...

TR Hayes - Bath's largest furniture store and is family owned and run.
Laura Ashley (got a store in Bath).

Do you mind linking me the type of sofa you bought?

After hours spent sampling sofas in all the major stores, we have settled on a £900 sofa-bed from DFS.

Only 50% more than we wanted to spend

Sorry, it's no longer in the range (it was a couple of years ago) - large corner sofa seats 3/4 on long side and 2 on the short. Still worth checking the bay once you know what you want.

I'm liking the store, but not the prices.

Bought mine from DFS and had no problems.

We did have a small problem after it was delivered but that was sorted out and all was fine. Don't see where you got this bad advice from about DFS.

lol at suggesting IKEA and Argos over DFS too.

Try sitting on them and compare the difference.

To be fair to Ikea, they do stock very expensive sofas along with the cheapies.

Charity shop, comfiest sofa ive ever sat on.

 

[Burnsy2023]

We've ordered the sofas (for the new house) from DFS during one of their 50% off sales

What, you mean there are times when they don't have a 50% off sale going on?

 

[Siliconslave]

M&S - really pleased with it so far, 3 years old and no signs of wear

To be fair, they are still crap. Same goes for the beds they stock! Worst. Decision. Ever!

We've had our DFS sofa's for 3 years now, can't fault them.

 

[bmi92]

My parents got my sofa that I'm sat on from Ikea, and the one in the second living room is from DFS. Can't fault either of them.

Second hand is the way to go with sofas - most people can't be bothered with moving them, so they depreciate something crazy. A £1000 sofa can be had for under £100 (if you collect) after a few years.

Major bargains in the second hand sofa market.

Emporio homes, get a nice big staff discount as both my parents work there (one works in cheltenham, the other more locally in stroud)

Electric recliner brand new would have normally cost me close to £550 for the one i wanted, managed to get that for £350

Nice, but appears to be all leather and I'm interested in fabric. Also, no prices on the website scares me as it appears to sell to be people who doesn't find price to be an issue. I do.
