Worth to buy sofa protection from DFS?

anonimus12345

we just choosen our new sofa from DFS. It is worth £1600 (paying over the years) and  the man was talking about this sofa protection option for only £4.50 a month but actually he never asked us we want this , he was puting in for us. Overall this care thing more than £200 all together wich quite a lot i think. We never had anithing with our current sofa, we have a cat but obviously for cat scratches we can't claim this care thing..-.- is anyone actually used this plan? Worth to buy it? Im just thinking to cancel it, seems a bit useless atm.

We had this put on our sofa but I don't believe it was ever treated ,soon after we had the sofa a drink was spilt on it and if it had been treated it would of bubbled up on sofa to give you time to sponge it up. They wouldn't accept it hadn't been treated and we couldn't prove it. 

If it had been treated like they insisted it was useless and a complete waste of money.

So if it was me I would cancel it.

Are you sure you want to pay DFS £1600 for a sofa?
Personally i would rather sit on the floor than enter into a finance agreement with DFS

remove it as they are simply a money spinner for the salesman.  he gets commission on selling you extras.

Please shop about! I purchased a sofa from DFS that was advertised at 600. I ended up paying 850 With the supposed “special coating” and it’s on a finance agreement. 850 for a 2 seater sofa!!!! Fuming, but I’m only 6 months in. Wouldn’t ever do it again!

I have the sofa protection. You can claim for cat scratches because I’ve done it. In fact, it’s the only reason that I got it.

Bellaboo86, they said i only can claim if the cat scrathed the seat part. If it is the side part of the sofa they won't fix it.

£1600 ?! Is it gold plated?!

Remember that the interest is built into the price so that sofa costs £1600 but is probably worth half that.

Just as a comparison I got my 3 seater and 2 matching chairs for £999 from a local furniture shop.

Shop around!!!!!!!

What does the extra £200 cover you for? We paid around £1400 for a 4 seater sofa plus chair 5 years ago and it was the worst suite I've ever had. By the time the 4 years was up it was falling to pieces and needing replacing, which I believe is DFS intention all along.

We had our DFS sofa delivered last week.

We had the protection added on.  I read the booklet 1st and it sounded like it will work for us (hopefully wont need it) but we too spent £1600 (not on finance) for a 4 seater, double recliner corner sofa.

It wasnt about the shop for us but was what we wanted.

I have also claimed for Cat Scratches - and on the side of the sofa as well.
Can't claim for a build up of scratches - but can claim for a one off
