If you are looking for value I think Ikea takes a bit of beating as somebody else said. Bought one 2 years ago which looks the same now as when delivered so bodes well. It's not classy but very functional.

If you want a bit more of a designer look I like the Bo Concept range myself. Some nice stuff but not cheap.

Yep, sofa so good.

Ikea. You can get replacement washable covers.

Sounds like a good plan. I enquired about recovering our elderly sofa, andfor the price quoted we could almost purchase a brand new sofa.

Mate of mine got a job at DFS. When we went in to look for a new sofa a couple of years ago his whispered advice was "don't buy from here - they won't last".

Assuming you don't want some garish, low, uncomfortable style, there is a lot to be said for buying from proper old local furniture shops. We bought one from Hanningtons when we first moved house and that lasted many years despite having small children and a puppy around. Our current one came from Reynolds in Bognor.

I Upholster & would say that Multiyork are one of the better quality retailers out there.

Can you recommend some other retailers?

There's a great one on the Henfield business park. All hand made in South Africa and very good quality.

If only there was a well known Sofa outlet that had a Sale on at the moment ..

We are looking for new sofa and frankly the choice of good quality ones is poor.

Our last purchase a few years ago was from Next and although nice to start with the quality didn't last and we regretted the purchase.

Having viewed John Lewis, M&S, Furniture Village, DFS and Next again I am similarly unimpressed.

Any suggestions for good quality hard wearing sofas that don't look good for two weeks before deflating.

Help.

Ps) this is what happens when it's a no football weekend, I get dragged shopping.

I Upholster & would say that Multiyork are one of the better quality retailers out there. If you know an upholsterer then I would recommend you find a good quality chesterfield (padded seat, not with cushions) if you like those & get it properly reupholstered (not just recovered) & it will last you 20+ years & you can always resell it & cover your costs or close enough. It all depends on what you are looking for style wise but it is always better paying a bit more now & getting the benefit of quality & comfort.

Definitely would rather go with a classic design and reupholster it than some of the chipboard / softwood stuff you get from the high volume retailers. I did actually fish a nice Parker Knoll armchair that had be fly tipped at the corner of the park the other day. The woodwork is fine, just needs new covers - the things people dump...

Ultimately sofas age, especially with an over active wife with new ideas, .

I know, I managed to get a used, but decent condition woman with about 60 years left in her.

Really should read things properly. Saw this and immediately thought Ben's Grandad had written about his overactive wife!

I couldn't be bothered to read through all of the pages, so sorry if I have said what someone has already. We have 3 sofas from marks and spencers and they have been brilliant and are of good quality (fabric material)
I would recommend
