Best sofa shops

We asked 2,932 Which? members about their sofas to discover the best – and the worst – sofa brands and retailers for customer satisfaction.

A sofa is a big investment. You want one that's comfortable, stands the test of time and looks good too. According to our exclusive survey, the brand you choose can make a big difference to your sofa's look and feel. 

Nobody wants to wait too long for their sofa to arrive or have to deal with shoddy customer service, so we've also rated the best shops to buy your sofa from so you can shop with confidence. 

Find out which retailer got five stars across all but one of our six areas, and which ones lie at the bottom of the table. 

Or see our full reviews for the likes of Ikea, SCS, John Lewis, DFS and Furniture Village.

Our sofa retailer survey is focused on shopping experience, including delivery and customer service.

What is the best brand of sofa to buy?

Which? sofa survey

Which? customer scores are based on how satisfied customers are with the brand overall, and whether or not they’d recommend it. 

To find out which are the best and worst sofa brands and retailers, in May 2021 we surveyed 2,932 Which? members who'd bought a sofa in the past 10 years and asked about their experiences with retailers and the sofa brand itself.

Overall customer scores are based on how satisfied customers were with the brand or retailer, and how likely they were to recommend it to a friend.
