SOFA BED COLOUR
Colour is often the starting point when browsing fabrics and with over 150 fabrics to choose from, this can instantly help you focus on a shortlist. We recommend starting by considering what function your new furniture will serve:
Is it an occasional use item or an everyday design?
How often will you be planning to replace it?
Do you want something that matches an existing colour scheme, or can work with any wall/floor colour?
Would you like it to be the focus of the room, or to meld into an existing scheme?
Answering these questions can you help you decide what kind of colours would work for your home. Here are a selection of our favourite bold brights, pretty pastels and subtle neutrals.

FABRIC DURABILITY
We test the durability of our fabrics using the famous rub count test, where a little machine rubs the fabric thousands of times. A rub count over 10,000 is considered top of its class, so as you can see from the lists below all our fabrics are incredibly durable. A higher rub count is recommended for furniture which will be in constant use, especially if you have children and pets.
