Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve got questions, we’ve almost certainly got the answers here...

 


  • WHERE ARE YOUR FURNITURE DESIGNS MADE?

    We believe in the beauty of British design and craftsmanship, which is why we are proud to nurture close partnerships with established British fabric artisans as well as to make all our furniture in workshops with over 45 years’ experience based in Wiltshire, Lancashire and Mid Glamorgan.

     


    DO YOU HAVE A SHOWROOM?

    Our showroom is now closed. In the light of COVID-19 and the current and future increasing retail pressures, we have decided to revert back to being an online only furniture retailer so we can continue to offer unparalleled quality and value for money, along with our free returns policy, so you can shop with us in total confidence.


    CAN I USE A FABRIC I HAVE SOURCED ELSEWHERE FOR UPHOLSTERY ON MY ORDER?

    If you would rather use your own fabric instead of choosing one from our collections, we are able to offer bespoke upholstery on any of our designs. Our expert craftsmen have collated the below checklist to use when picking your bespoke fabric:

    1. Your fabric will need a fire-retardant certificate that can be sent to our workshop.

    2. Your fabric will need to be back coated and not interlined. This means the fire retardancy treatment needs to be applied directly to the back of the fabric rather than in a second inner lining of material.

    3. Your fabric will need to be checked by our craftsmen before you place your order. Normally this can be done by emailing a photo, but in rare cases we may need to ask you to send a sample of your fabric to the workshop. This will allow our craftsmen to see and feel the fabric to confirm they are confident it will look beautiful on your chosen design.


    HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO OFFER BETTER VALUE THAN THE HIGH STREET AND OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS OFFERING A SIMILAR HIGH QUALITY?

    We are passionate about our furniture and service, not about expensive shops and marketing campaigns. This allows us to keep our costs lower than most and continue to offer beautiful, high-quality furniture at affordable prices.

     

  • DO YOU HAVE A CATALOGUE?

    We do not have a traditional catalogue. Instead we offer product information cards for each of our designs that you can download or order to receive in the post with your chosen fabric samples. We do recommend that the best way to get a complete understanding of our products is to look around our website which provides all the information you should need.

     


    IS YOUR FURNITURE GUARANTEED?

    We’re confident about the quality of our furniture, that’s why we offer a 25 year wood frame guarantee on all our items and a 10 year guarantee on all our sofa bed and bed mattresses.


    In addition we offer Staingard Protection.This covers your item for 5 years against accidental spills, stains, marks and damage such as wine spillages, tea disasters, tears, pet scratches and much more. Read more about Staingard Protection here.


    WHAT CUSHION FILLINGS DO YOU USE?

    When choosing your sofa beds, sofas or armchairs to relax on it is important to select a seat which gives you the right sit. We understand that comfort is subjective, so we’ve handpicked three seat cushions of varying firmness and bounce for you to choose from. You can discover the difference between each of our seat cushions in our personalisation guide.


    CAN I GET FREE FABRIC SAMPLES?

    Please do –  we recommend you do this so you can look at and feel the fabric before you order. We offer up to eight fabric samples for free. Explore our fabric collections and order a free sample pack of your favourites to try at home here.

     


    CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT THE FABRIC ON MY FURNITURE DESIGN WILL BE AN EXACT COLOUR MATCH TO MY SAMPLE?

    Batches can differ in shade and tone very slightly which means that if the sample comes from a different batch to what is used to make your furniture there might be a small variation. However, the variations are negligible. Of course, if you purchase more than one product with us on an order they will be made from the same batch.

  • CAN YOU DO BESPOKE SIZES?

    Unfortunately we have to say no. Extending a dimension which sounds quite simple, such as the depth of a sofa, actually involves significant changes to the frame, cutting pattern and cushions.


    WHAT MATTRESS COMES WITH YOUR SOFA BEDS?

    We are proud to create handmade sofa bed mattresses which friends and family will actually look forward to sleeping on. We’ve designed three luxury mattresses for you to personalise your sofa bed with. Our 14cm deep open sprung mattress is included in the price and customers can choose to purchase a pocket sprung or memory foam mattress if preferred instead.

     


    CAN I STORE YOUR SOFA BED MATTRESSES IN THE SOFA?

    All our sofa bed mattresses fold away underneath the seats so there is no need to store separately.

     


    HOW DO I OPEN YOUR SOFA BEDS?

    Remove the back and seat cushions.  Grip hold of the metal frame and pull it up until you are able to bring the frame towards you and it unfolds onto the floor.


    WHAT MECHANISM DO YOUR SOFA BEDS USE?

    We use the highest quality pull-out mechanism available. It has a solid wood slatted base and webbing to offer the best support possible. We don’t believe you should have to compromise on a good nights sleep because you are on a sofa bed.


    WILL YOUR BED MATTRESSES FIT ON ANY BED OR DIVAN?

    Yes, as long as the bed or divan follows the standard UK sizes of single, double, king size and super king then our mattresses will fit perfectly.


    DO I NEED TO TRY BEFORE BUYING?

    We don’t believe you do. We have designed and tried and tested thousands of products and hand-picked all our materials, from fabrics to cushion fillings, so you know with us, with any choice you make, that high quality comes as standard.
