We have 2 sofas which my wife bought for her first house before we were together. She bought quality and paid around double the DFS type price. We’ve been married 28 years, so they are over 30 years old. Frames as good as new. No sag, creaks or other signs of age. We paid the price of a cheap DFS sofa to have them reupholstered around 10 years ago, and will probably do that again, in another couple of years. It’s worth seeking out quality if they are a long term prospect. Unfortunately I can’t offer any recommendations as the shop in question closed a few years ago.Don't pay a fortune!
We've had several cheapish sofas in the past. They tend to last about 5 years before becoming saggy and/or stained.
Last time we thought we'd splash out on a genuine ParkerKnoll.
Guess what - had it 4 years and now it's sagging and despite its alleged 'stain resistance' showing definite signs of discolouration.
Have you not got sores by now?20 plus years later I am still sat on it.
I bought a second hand Ekornes Stressless sofa on Ebay about 15 years ago for £560. It looked as though it had never been sat on in the photos and that proved to be the case when I saw it in the flesh. It now looks as good as when I bought it and no sagging. I do realise this style of sofa isn't for everyone but it's a possibilty to consider.
We bought a g plan sofa setup from them about five years ago, worth every penny still looks like new.Deffo not of current Norvege stature despite Anderson ancestry
John Lewis is wife's go-to so if their stuff is 'proper' then might just stick with them, do you know who makes them for JL?
