Two-seater sofa?

Could anyone recommend a company to buy a decent (and relatively cheap) small sofa, maybe online?
Thanks

    I'm not sure how cheap you're looking for but two websites are Cargo and Sofa Sofa.

    Failing that maybe Ikea?

    We needed a two-seater sofabed for the extension (needed to be less than 2m total width); did all the rounds in the local shops (Argos, Ikea, Courts, etc, etc) also looked on the web for a cheap / quality sofa. In the end gave up, as a previous poster said cheap and quality do not really go together. All the cheap ones we found were cheap and you could tell that the cushion material / effectiveness would deteriorate fairly quickly.

    In the end we got one from DFS - although the price might be considered expensive (£450) it *is* a well made sofa bed. So bottom line I was much happier spending this amount of money and getting something that I know will last.

    I suppose I was a bit optimistic - decent and not too expensive... :rolleyes:
    Thanks for your comments anyway! Think I might try Argos / Homebase.
