Fabric sofas buying guide

When it comes to making the right sofa choice, we’re a little fussy. Buying a sofa is a big decision, and finding perfection takes time. It’s important to make sure the style, size, and material are a good fit for you and your space, because it’s a place you’re going to spend countless hours on catch-ups, boxsets and cuddling with the family. Fabric sofas are popular due to their tactile appearance, comfort and longevity, but we like to offer a range of fabrics to make it easier for you to find ‘the one’ - and each has different properties and benefits.


Whether you’re looking for chic, traditional or life-proof, our guide will help you to choose the right fabric sofa for your home.

Got a question?

Let’s see if we can help. You’re stuck on a few details and need a helping hand, why not check out our FAQs for help and advice.

  • The best fabric is the one that feels right for you and suits your home. For example, if you love a touch of easy elegance and a soft, sumptuous feel, velvet is always a stunning choice, while a durable and cosy chenille could be the perfect fit for a relaxed, family-friendly home. It’s all about finding a fabric that you’ll love sinking into, every single day.

  • Your sofa should be a welcoming spot for the entire family – and that includes your furry friend. That’s why we created our range of Lifestyle fabric sofas. They’re designed to be durable, easy to clean, and resilient enough to handle the happy chaos of life with pets, without compromising on style or comfort.

  • With the right care and maintenance, our fabric sofas can last for more than a decade before needing to be replaced. That’s because we focus on quality craftsmanship and only use durable materials to build out stunning sofas.

  • We wouldn’t typically recommend it. Steam cleaning can be too harsh for many upholstery fabrics and could damage the fibres or cause the colour to fade. The best way to care for your sofa is to follow the specific advice for its material. This gentle approach will protect your investment and keep the fabric looking its best for years to come.

  • Not at all. Keeping your fabric sofa looking fresh and beautiful is simpler than you might think. A little regular care, like weekly vacuuming, goes a long way. For any unexpected spills, the trick is to act quickly and only blot the affected area, rather than rubbing it deeper in the fibres. For tailored cleaning guidance, head over to our Help Centre.
