The Barbican collection is one of John Lewis & Partners bestselling sofa ranges, and with its on-trend mid-Century-modern meets Scandinavian-cool good looks, it's easy to see why. A top tip is to measure out where the sofa will go in your room using masking tape to mark out all dimensions. As well as width, make sure to consider the height of the sofa – especially if you want to place it under a window sill or beneath existing architecture - and its depth to ensure there is plenty of space to walk around it comfortably. Ergonomically, the recommended seating position is to have your thigh bones parallel to the floor, which for most of us means sofa seating that's a roundabout knee height when standing. Kelly Collins, interior designer and head of creative at sofa brand Swyft, says, ‘Always ask the sofa manufacturer about the frame guarantee and how long the frame will last. If it’s a good quality sofa the frame will be made from solid wood (or metal) and it will come with a long guarantee. For example, Swyft’s frame guarantee is 15 years because the frames are built from quality, solid wood’.Seat comfort can also be tailored to your preference with a choice of fibre-wrapped foam or feather-wrapped foam seat cushions for low-maintenance squish-factor, and there are a whopping 175+ upholstery options to choose from. velvets we’ve seen. And if you prefer a sofa with a more retro twist, the Hermione range has all the buttoning So why does the Julien still score so highly with us? Well, for the price, this is one comfortable sofa. The fixed fibre-wrapped foam seats are on the slightly firmer side but the model we tested still had a good amount of squish, and we loved the seat depth, which with the foam-filled seat cushions offering good comfort and support was perfect for sitting or curling up on. Plus the low armrests are well-padded and the perfect head height for naps.

Francesca Hadland, styling expert for furniture retailer Bridgman, is of a similar opinion, stating ‘Although cheaper furniture may appear the same on the surface, cheaper pieces will show signs of wear and tear much faster and within just a couple of years, you’ll have the hassle of replacing the furniture and re-spending your money.” Once you've chosen your favourite sofa shape, then it's time to choose colour and fabric. Most sofa retailers offer models in a range of fabrics, generally including more affordable polyester and cotton mixes (which often have better stain resistance so are useful for homes with young families), and more expensive linens, velvets, and leathers. Take advantage of fabric samples to view colours and textures in your own home, as lighting can often look very different to that in showrooms or online representations, and bear in mind that the more luxurious fabrics are also likely to increase the sofa price quite considerably. As much as you might love pale colours, for family living a darker or marl shade is likely to prove more stress-free, helping to disguise any mishaps! The modular units don't come cheap, and you're going to need a modern home and quite a bit of space to suit this contemporary design, but we love its boxy shape.It works particularly well in an open-plan layout, where the low-to-the-ground design can be used to zone and anchor a spacious room. Upholstery options are also limited, but all are versatile and on-trend shades.Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

The high-legged frame is designed to make a smaller room feel more spacious, whilst those flared, lozenge-shaped arms will create a focal point in either a modern Scandi or mid-Century modern-inspired interior. If you prefer the elegance of traditional British sofas, take a look at the Bronwnyn. We’re in love with its graceful If you want to get even more comfortable, then this model is also available with an unobtrusive and easy-to-operate footrest so you can really recline in style. A modular sofa is the ultimate versatile seating solution, with individual seating sections allowing you to configure a bespoke sofa layout to best suit your room. You can add, subtract or rearrange the modules if you want to transfer the sofa to a different room or move home, and invest in more sections as and when budget allows.

What if my product is beyond repair? Our ‘remove stain, repair or replace’ rule means you can claim up to the value of your furniture if it cannot be restored. What am I covered for? Chaise sofas, corner sofas or modular sofas in an L-shaped or U-shaped layout can be particularly useful here, or - if you have the space - you might want to switch up the usual layout of the sofa facing the fire or TV, and have two similar-sized sofas facing each other to create a space that works better for socialising and entertaining. We may be slightly biased, but it's hard not to be impressed by this affordable sofa that was designed by the Ideal Home team in collaboration with ScS. There are generously proportioned 2, 3, and 4-seater sofa options, plus a 3 or 4-seater chaise and two corner sofa configurations to choose from, all in Habitat's luxe-look velvet upholstery. And while the colour choices may be limited, all are great shades that lend statement style to this contemporary design. Plus, once you start the search for the best sofa for your home, you'll soon discover there are a whole lot of options to choose from. There are classic two and three-seater sofas, chaise sofas for putting your feet up, multifunctional sofa beds that allow you to offer guests overnight sleeping space (find more of those in our guide to the best sofa beds), modular sofas that come in sections so you can configure your own seating layout, and spacious corner sofas that have plenty of room for friends and family.

If you're using a sofa to zone a room, then a low-to-the-ground model can offer a great way to create dedicated areas without breaking up the space too much, but, the flipside is that (once past a certain age perhaps) low seating can be harder to get up from and can encourage you to sprawl more than sit. At the other end of the scale are feather cushions. These are generally more expensive but provide a more plumptious seat, although the feathers can gradually shift so you'll need to do more plumping.Mixing retro design with modern styling, the contemporary sofa is available intwo-seater,three-seater, and four-seater options, with a matching armchair, twister, and swivel chair, plus coordinating footstools available. Generally speaking, you're going to want the most spacious settee your room and budget will allow, but it's also important to make sure you measure carefully to ensure your sofa is going to work in your space.
