Snug sofa - can anyone recommend please?

2 years ago

Thinking of buying a Snug sofa (the Big Chill) for our new lounge but am nervous to buy a sofa online.
Can anyone give us an idea of how comfortable these sofas are please?

Swyft sofas are available at John Lewis btw and is similar in style and identical concept. It may be worth ringing JL to see if them have them in any of the stores to try although Swyft also do the 100 day return

Picture is not very clear but its probably a bit lighter than in picture as taken on my phone I have fallen in LOVE with F&B Wisteria wallpaper in the cinder rose background and I think it matches perfectly with the vert de terre which will be in the kitchen... Im thinking wallpaper back wall behind the long bit of the sofa and facing the chimney and then a lighter shade on the wall adjoining it where the short length of sofa will go... perhaps shaded white? I like elephants breath but I think this maybe too dark and this wall needs to reflect light into the room ... Then onto chimney brest and alcoves... There will be a stove in the opening and a tv on the brest above the stove ... do I also wallpaper the brest or the alcoves or do I apint one of these just in cinder rose or do I use the other 2 shades in the wallpaper!??! decisions decisions...

We also thought hard about this when moving to our house. The solution was to buy a small tv for the playroom and keep another tv in our front lounge. We are not massive tv watchers, but we enjoy watching a good film, in a mess free room! Also, there is no way I would allow my kids in my lounge to watch tv on a regular basis as it is the one room in the house that we like to keep quiet and tidy!

First of all removing all the stuff that doesn't belong in a living room will help. The living room feels like a closed off space because it looks so different compared to the dining room and kitchen. Everything is white and has a nice tiled floor. I would suggest continuing with this in the living room or you could put the wallpaper from the dining room in the living room as well. Having a floorplan would help when designing the space, but I'll try my best without a floorplan. Where the fireplace goes I would suggest letting someone make a custom cupboard. You can hang the tv on the space above that cupboard and make that the tv station. I would remove the sofa from the wall and move it closer to the "fireplace". Add a nice carpet and a coffeetable. Add a floor lamp and pick a different light fixture. If you want you can also create a seperate reading nook. I hope this helped.

We did love some of the suggestions above… but stuck with our original plan! Although we did change the kitchen layout from U-shaped to ”farmhouse” style, with the table in the middle and sink under the window overlooking the garden. The old dining room has become an office with two desks - partly due to COVID and the need to work from home and homeschool etc! We have also moved a lot of the children’s toy storage in here although they still bring things into the main lounge to play where there’s more room. At 8 and 5, they also actually now keep and play with a lot of toys in their rooms, so I think the old dining room will remain as more of a computer and homework room - it’s nice being able to shut the door! The ”study” on the plan is very much a workshop/gym/play room for my husband! We didnt want to sacrifice that space. It might turn into a teenage den later on perhaps, or even a downstairs bedroom for my Nan. The small upstairs bedroom has become a second office as I’m also still working from home (and my husband has too many meetings downstairs!). It houses our sofa bed too so acts as a spare room and my space to do yoga and sewing. Overall, we are pleased with how everything turned out. We quite like the option to have space away from each other and the flexibility to change the use of the different rooms. We do all spend a lot time together in either the kitchen or main lounge as plenty of space in both.

Whatever you choose, if you buy anything online you can return it for whatever reason within 30 days. These are your Distant Selling Statutory Rights. You need to advise them within 14 days that you wish to return the item and then return it within the next 14 days. There will probably be a Returns Cost. I did this with some dining chairs I bought from Wayfair which looked fab but were sooo uncomfortable. Then I bought replacements from John Lewis which are so comfy. Good luck with your search.

We moved in lockdown and took the plunge to buy out sofa online, the woman in dfs sat on it for us 😂😂 but we are super happy with ours, we focused on dimensions as we love to snuggle up with our feet up so dear depth was really important and went for the higher spec foam so I don’t have to fluff the cushions all the time. It’s still super smart and very comfy. Good luck with your search

Unless you really know the brand and trust them to deliver the quality you are expecting I would make the time to go and try them out in showroom first if at all possible. Returns are not easy and a waste of your time if you are unhappy. I bought mine online but after a years meticulous research and I was not disappointed. Barker and Stonehouse does some good deals and they are very comfortable. They have great modular and sectional sofa options. Buy it in January or December for the best price.
