Sofa recommendations
Due to move house in the next couple of weeks and need a new sofa or two. Can any one recommend any companies they have used or know of any good deals. I appreciate most companies have deals on at this time of the year (and most other times of the year too ).
Thanks in advance

Re: Sofa recommendations
How about this one if you have a van to collect?

Re: Sofa recommendations
We used DFS last time - 8 years ago. Sofa still going well.
We are moving early next year too and will probably need a new sofa in addition to the one we have so will keep an eye out on this thread to see what else gets recommended. Otherwise will be off to the ‘sale’ that never ends

You can save an awful lot a money by buying second hand providing your choosey and in some cases the older stuff can be made better.kingarthur wrote:Due to move house in the next couple of weeks and need a new sofa or two.

Like anything else you have to do your own research.

Re: Sofa recommendations
If your sofa is just worn or doesn't match the new décor you could get made to measure covers for it:

Re: Sofa recommendations
Interestingly point this. Just where do you buy a sofa nowadays. There were two places where I live, Multi York and Wesley Barrell, but they’ve both closed down. Every time I throw myself down on something in, say John Lewis, I think how uncomfortable they are as well as being quite expensive for what they are.

It's all made to order. They might be from Garlicks boardroom that you didn't like. Wealth doesn't mean taste all the time.LS7 wrote:Those atpu ones are horrible from a scan of the website

Re: Sofa recommendations
You have 2 choices:-
Get a real one, say Bridgecraft, with sprung front, beech frame, etc and pay at least 3 grand but will last.
Get an "all the rest" - in which case go to Brand Interiors (the place on Briercliffe Road sells their stuff). We've had plenty of hardwood and bedroom furniture off them and their service and help is superb. They do all the trendy stuff (M&S etc) either from the floor or to order. Usually half (of an inflated) price but still value.

Re: Sofa recommendations
Whichever one you go for, I'd recommend getting one that supports your head when you lean back.
A lot of these modern ones have low backs (as I know to my cost ).
Consequently, you often get a crick in the neck after sitting there for a while.

Re: Sofa recommendations
Top Claret - agree with you on Taskers but it's still worth a ride over to Mytholmroyd.

Re: Sofa recommendations

Re: Sofa recommendations
On a similar note, does anyone have recommendations for somewhere that sells riser/recliner armchairs - the sort that gives an older person a lift to help them get up?

Re: Sofa recommendations
I would try Gumtree or pre loved dsr. Like stair lifts I would imagine these are often left by old people when they pass away.

After Christmas is a good time in general to buy a range of things for obvious reasons as well.
