NorthernJambo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 They're quite comfy but no way worth that much! My parents dogs sometimes go under them when someone is sat in a reclined position and then get hit by the mechanism when it closes, hopefully my child doesn't wonder underneath it without me realising! A common theme with sofas, beds etc. It’s important to get comfortable ones though. Will be a while before wee throbber is crawling about by themselves, get plenty use out of them before then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the Senator from Harveys We took out the 0% interest over 4 years but paid it off after 3. I can see how some folk would pay it off then move it on but that's not for me. I want my moneys worth. Plus this particular sofa is ridiculously comfortable. The wee one is almost walking and already she's done some damage to the fabric. It won't be long until it's completely ruined. I'll ve sad to see it go and now wish I had bought it in leather as I don't think it's stocked anymore. Leather has to be the next one which I'm not pleased about given how much I dislike leather sofas: freezing in winter and roasting in summer. For practical reasons it's a must though. If the OP is in the position I'd recommend the 4 years interest free option. You can pay it off earlier, it builds up your credit score and you decide what you pay. We opted for £40 a month. The BHF have some nice used sofas but in no way can they be classed as cheap! Leather for us, we have blankets down on it which helps with the cold. We've got 'his and hers' sofa's and the dogs have made a bit of a mess, definitely better than fabric for toughness although a bit tatty now. Still work for plonking the arse though and she's not been moaning too loudly, hopefully get a few more years out of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I like that one QOS so long as you have a rather spacious sitting room. We settled for this one 4 years ago and its just totally shite: It's served us well. The main issues are it's foam and so after all this time some parts are starting to lose shape. It's also a b*****d to clip and unclip. In general it's a belter though. It's huge and obviously dominates the room but that was a selling point for me. In our flat there was only room for that and our TV cabinet which meant the room couldn't be cluttered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Not a stockist recommendation as such, more a specific type of sofa suggestion: If the budget stretches, have you had a look at Stressless sofas? The Wave or Arion have a modern look about them. Very comfortable and they are designed to recline using your body weight. You can get different grades of leather but I personally think the Batick leather is best. It is not only the hardest wearing but also the cheapest. 3 seaters in batick leather start about £3k but there are usually sales on every so often. Sounds a lot but they really are designed to last. You’d easy get 15 - 20 years out of one of their sofas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs a-p’s uncle got it from some place in Edinburgh a wee bit before he passed away and we ‘acquired’ it from the house clearance. Would I spend £1200 on a chair and footstool? Nae danger! But is if the comfiest chair I’ve ever sat on and can I see it lasting 20+ years? Absolutely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
