best place for sofas?

Hi,
We need to replace our sofa and need a large and small small one. Seen the ads for DFS on tv and wondering what other people think of them with regards to quality and durability.
With 3 kids we need something that is going to be stain resistant and hard wearing.
What other shops sell good sofas? My mind has gone blank and can't think of any.

    have a look on ebay - i got a marks and spencer return (theres a few ebay shops selling returns) about the 3rd of the price in the shop, wrapped up with a great big sticker on the side "wont fit through front door".
    since i bought mine my neighbour got a leather suite from the same place £750 "cancelled order". my aunt got a sofabed. (all marked up with shops name)

    they'll let you go and look to prior to buying

    I have seen on another threat in this board a recommendation for http://www.sofasofa.co.uk/ I am also thinking about purchasing a new sofa but have heard some horror stories about places like DFS and Harveys.

    Good Luck with your search....
