    You can ask, but they don't have to give you a refund if its disproportionately costly for them to do so.

    Repair, Replace, Refund.

    They offered to repair, you refused, they offers to replace, you refused.

    They offered no further resolution to you. This is their right based on your refusal.

    You have no entitlement to a refund based on the information you have provided thus far.
  • how many times do they have to repair something before you as for a refund?

    Until it becomes unreasonable.

    You're missing the point that they offered to replace already, this means that you have little ground to stand on in regards to refund entitlement.

    If and its a BIG if they did offer to refund then they would be entitled to reduce the refund for the amount of use you have had from the sofa's.

    So bear that in mind, the replacement is actually the best option for you.
