Best 2 seater sofa for gaming/movies

Ramboner · 3 Mar 2015 at 13:39

Hi guys,
Just moved into my first place with my partner,
Wondering what sort of 2 seater sofa to get, ideally a recliner for watching movies and playing xbox. So super comfy would be great. Budget is hopefully under £700

Thanks for any ideas
Joe

One made of leather, visit shops and see which you like.

A lot are made to order these days though so you can have to wait for up to 2 months

Fabric! Softer, warmer and you don't stick to it

Ah what a shame you've just missed the DFS Sale..oh, wait.

We got our sofas from Next. After checking out the usual big sofa sheds and finding nothing to our liking. Liked the styles, the quality, and the prices.

No idea about recliners, though. You big chav

Is a recliner a chav thing? Haha I've not heard that before. They're just super comfy

what do you have for movies Time? Lol the LazyBoy ones look amazing but are way over priced for me.

If you get a recliner, get an electric one.

Totally agree +1

Are they safe to leave plugged in 24/7?

These are super comfy and really warming

I'm sure ours was £299 delivered. Bought it after spending a few hours in one at a friend's house.

So far about 4 other people have bought one after sitting on ours!

£59 delivery though.

someone I know bought a new 3 seat and 2 seater recently from somewhere local, free delivery, could choose what fabric/leather the chairs were upholstered with from a large selection.

well worth checking brick and mortar shops out and you can likely haggle with them for some freebie cushions or something

I was looking at that one, its within budget but not as nice a price as you got it for! I can see a couple second hand on ebay, is a sofa something not worth risking and just buying new?

Could try asking in store, when we bought ours, the guy in the shop said to me quietly.. Order tomorrow as the price is about to drop.

We had free delivery

Yes, just like most electrical items are.

We have a sofa coming from Harveys around the 10th this month, wanted something to use in the media room, went for the langdale 3 Seater with media tray in the middle, very very comfy. Spent ages looking around all the other sofa outlets and this was the best thing we sat on for the cash by miles.

Apparently you shouldn't leave phone chargers turned on 24/7. Always had tvs/pcs turned off from the socket as well. Is this pointless then?

I actually sat in the langdale yesterday at harveys. It was lovely but a little more than I'm able to spend. They had a nice ex display one for a lot cheaper but I was a little skeptical about buying one thats been abused in store

We are looking at one too for our summer house, looking at 2m wide max. We are going to look at http://www.thesofabed.com/ and John Lewis. My experience with sofa beds from the "high street" is they diminish in condition pretty quickly.
