Sofas buying guide
Choose a sofa that fits your room, daily routine and preferred way to relax. This collection includes compact sofas for smaller UK living rooms as well as generous seating for family spaces, with a range of shapes, fabrics and colours to compare.
How to choose the right sofa
- Measure the room: Check the maximum width and depth available, then leave enough space to walk around the sofa and open nearby doors or drawers.
- Check delivery access: Measure doorways, hallways, stairs and lifts, including any tight corners between the entrance and the room.
- Compare comfort: Look at seat depth, back height and cushion style. A deeper seat can suit lounging, while a more upright profile may work better for conversation or everyday support.
- Choose practical upholstery: Consider how the fabric will be cleaned, whether the room receives strong sunlight and how the colour will work with existing furniture.
For flexible overnight seating, explore sofa beds. If you want to make use of a corner, compare corner sofas. Complete the room with coffee tables and armchairs and accent chairs, or browse the full living room furniture collection.
Frequently asked questions
What sofa size works in a small living room?
Start with the available floor area rather than the room name. A compact two-seater can preserve walking space, while a sofa with slim arms may provide more usable seating within the same overall width.
What should I measure before ordering a sofa?
Record the sofa's overall width, depth and height, then compare those figures with the narrowest doorway, hallway turns, staircases and lift openings on the delivery route.
Should I choose a sofa or a sofa bed?
Choose a standard sofa when everyday seating comfort is the main priority. A sofa bed can be more useful when you also need occasional guest sleeping space without a separate bedroom.
