Where to buy a big sofa?!

Options
We are really struggling to find a large sofa that we -

A - Like
B - Is decent quality
C - Is big enough

Due to our lounge shape we are after a large 4 seater sofa - at least 230 cm, pref more and matching armchair. Spomething simple, not leather.

We have tried DFS (not many big enough), M&S, (only a couple big enough and disappointed with quality), Debenhams, only one big enough that is okay , but a little old fashioned, will try John Lewis and Bentalls next week if I have to, I hate going into Kingston!

Does anyone know any good companies in the South East, we are close to Camberley, Bracknell, Windsor etc.

Thanks

    HI

    Sofa Sofa seem to do lots of 4 seater sofas. They only have stores in Birmingham and Cardiff, but I seem to remember getting a flier saying that they're having a demo day in a hotel in Hammersmith in July. Might be worth giving them a call?

    Have you tried ebay? They have lots of sofas of all shapes and sizes and modern designs too, but be careful and make sure you check seller's feedback and terms and conditions before bidding. I'm looking for sofas myself and know it can be difficult finding the exact one- my problem is that most sofas are too big for my room!
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Thanks, Sofa Sofa look good, shame they are so far away, Hammersmith isn't very close either. I am reluctant to use eBay as I would like to try the sofa first.

    I can recommend Tetrad sofas for quality and size. Their website has a list of stockists by area.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    Have you tried Multiyork? Fabulous quality furniture traditionally built. There is huge range of fabric choice. Plus once your furniture is made the measurements are kept on file indefinitely, enabling you to have new covers made at any time in the future.

    They have various showrooms around the country & you could check out the website to see if there is one near you. https://www.multiyork.co.uk

    They have a sale on at the moment too.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
