Cheap sofas are huge because the large amount of very cheap filling is a good way of hiding the very poor quality frame underneath.

M&S do a good variety.

M&S have an offer on at the moment, if you buy two pieces of furniture, you get 30% off. They have some nice small sofas.

sofasofa do a money back guarantee if you don't like the sofas when they arrived. I was worried too but would definitely use them again. They have a showroom in cardiff and they often have a show in a London hotel as well.

Simple answer to that - I've seen fat friends of mine try and sit on my small sofa - hmmm....and there is no way that normal size me can sit on that 2 seater sofa beside them (as they edge over into the other half of it). I say nothing and just think "Well - it might give them an added incentive to go on a diet."

But manufacturers ought to take account generally of the fact that some people are still normal size (rather than ranging from fat to grossly obese) AND have small houses.

I have to admit the thought never even crossed my mind of trying to buy seating big enough for fat friends - I realised the other day that my whole house has automatically been arranged by me to only accommodate slim to standard size people - and I have no intention of altering it.

So - long story short - I think all these huge sofas are being made because a lot of people are now huge themselves.

We got a pair of smallish sofas from a seller on Ebay, they actually make the sofas that DFS sell. I think they were half the price though, and Mrs Gloomendoom also ordered a few yards of matching fabric to cover other things to match.

looking at sofa sofa very nicely priced its just as i said pictures can look very differently to what they are online due to airbrushing and been taken at a distance etc
And what do you mean you can say you dont want it wont they keep the deposit if you refuse to accept the sofa ?
Also i cant go to the showroom im up north and cardiff is miles away current petrol prices would make it very exspensive

They refund everything except the delivery charge, they do charge a collection charge but can't remember how much that is. I have to say our sofas were exactly like they were in the pictures. They will send you fabric sample free of charge as well. A friend of ours aso ordered 3 sofas from them, 2 of them different styles and I would say they looked exactly like they did on the website. You could always give them a call and see when they're doing the london days and maybe get cheap train tickets and make a weekend of it?
