I made the mistake of having a three piece suite specially made without checking if it would fit through the porch, hall and round a tight corner into the living room. They just about managed to squeeze it in. I’ll never do that again.

I would say don't buy from DVD the price on the ticket in the shop is not what you pay...many, many hidden costs.

I bought mine from Sofas by Saxon, it's beautifully made. I believe they have showrooms in Bolton and London. The quality is exceptional and their customer service makes for a simple, stress free experience. Take a look at their reviews. I wanted a large purple leather sofa bed ( not easy to find) and I got exactly what I wanted.

Another fan of Tetrad, have had several over the years, I don’t know what they are called, but our current ones are gorgeous shades of purples and wines in crushed velvet, comfy and beautiful.

Tetrad are British made and they do large sofas, I loved the Eastwood, now sadly discontinued. But the Montana is available and you can select the colours you want.

We also have G-Plan. The Dining room suite was bought in 1961, from The Ideal Home Exhibition.
(mid century and now in demand ?)

Our two sofas have been replaced by G-Plan leather ones.
Like Tanith's, they have high backs, maybe not ultra modern, but extremely comfortable.

I’ve had a nice sofa and armchair from DFS. My friend has also had several sofas from them, we’ve both been pleased

We’ve got both sofa sofa and G-Plan furniture. All very comfortable and hard wearing. Our previous sofas were also from G-Plan, lasted well and were passed on in the family.

Ours are GPlan they still look good and as comfy as ever bought from furniture village if you have one near but lots of outlets sell them i think. They arent ultra modern style but are so comfortable with a high back.

Take a look at Sofa Sofa online. They are made in Wales.

We’ve had our two M&S three seater sofas for over 20 years and they’ve been amazing! Sadly the upholstery has faded and so either we need to get them recovered or just replace them. Any recommendations for where to buy good quality sofas which will last?
