How to Choose the Right Sofa for Your Home

From finding the right level of comfort to making sure it fits, here's what to consider before choosing your new sofa.

A sofa is one of the most used pieces of furniture in your home, so choosing the right one deserves more thought than simply finding a colour you like.

It needs to suit the room, feel comfortable for the people using it and work with everyday life. With so many different styles, fillings and features available, knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming. A little planning before you buy can make all the difference.

Start with the room

Measure the space where the sofa will sit and think about how you move around the room. Check the width, height and depth of the sofa, then allow room for doors, drawers and walkways. Recliners also need enough space to open fully.

don't forget the route in

Many customers measure where the sofa will sit but forget to check how it will reach the room. Measure doorways, hallways, staircases and tight turns, and consider any radiators or other obstacles.

Some sofas have removable backs to make delivery through restricted spaces easier, but not every model comes apart. If you are unsure, speak to us before ordering and we can help check whether your chosen sofa should fit.

As a local independent business, long-term relationships are far more important to us than the value of one individual sale. We want customers to be happy with what they've bought, recommend us to their friends and family and, hopefully, come back to us when they need furniture again in the future.

Comfort is Personal

A sofa can look perfect in a photograph, but you won't know whether it feels right until you sit on it.

Seat height and depth, cushion firmness and back support can feel completely different from one person to another.

At Bedrock Furniture, we encourage you to take your time and try different styles. There's no pressure and no rush. We're here to explain the options and help you when you need us.

What Type of Seating Suits You?

Sofas Somerset

Fixed Sofas

A simple, comfortable choice with fewer moving parts and a wide range of styles.

Recliner sofas

Manual or power options allow you to change your seating position and put your feet up.

Lift & Rise Chairs

Designed to help you maintain your independence, with modern styles available to complement your sofa without looking clinical or old-fashioned.

Fabric, Leather and Everyday Life

Think about how the sofa will be used. Fabric offers, a huge choice of colours and textures, while leather can be practical and easy to wipe clean.

If you have children, pets or a particularly busy household, ask about care requirements before ordering.

Look Beyond the Display

Our showroom may not be the largest, so we cannot display every sofa in every size, colour and fabric. However, the models on display allow you to feel the fabrics, compare cushion fillings and experience the comfort and quality for yourself.

Try to look beyond the exact colour or size of the display model. Many of our sofas can be ordered in different sizes, fabrics, colours, and configurations to suit your home. We can show you the available choices and help you picture how your preferred combination will look.

Take a seat, get comfortable and give yourself time to decide

From Our Showroom to Your Home

Choosing the right sofa is only part of the process. Getting it safely into your home, positioned correctly and ready to use matters too.

Because we carry out our own local deliveries, you continue dealing with Bedrock after placing your order rather than being passed to an unknown third-party delivery company.

Finding a Practical Way In

Even with careful planning, some homes present unexpected access challenges. On this delivery, the sofa would not fit through the front entrance, so we found an alternative route through the garden and into the house.

The sofa remained inside its protective delivery bag while we carried it through, helping protect both the furniture and the customer's home.

Set Up and Ready to Enjoy

Once your sofa is inside, we can position it in the room and fit items such as feet where required.

We don't simply leave it at the door. We take the time to make sure everything is properly set up and ready for you to enjoy.
