We've got hundreds of sofas in all shapes, styles and materials – so there's something to suit even the busiest family home. If you haven't decided whether you want a leather sofa or a fabric sofa, our guide will help you choose.
Leather sofas
Leather is a natural and durable material offering the highest quality sofa upholstery. Contemporary leather sofas are affordable and come in a range of finishes, from soft suede to tough, hardwearing versions. It's important to choose the right one for you.

Cool and contemporary leather sofas: If your sofa is going to take pride of place in your living room, you'll probably want one in the finest, high-quality material. Our premium real leather and deluxe real leather sofas will give you plenty to choose from. Semi-aniline leather sofas are smooth, soft and offer a luxurious, natural appearance, while antique or waxed leather sofas are equally impressive, with a distinctive colouring that matures over time for a traditional old leather look. |

Everyday leather sofas: Living in an active household with kids and pets doesn't mean you should avoid leather. All our standard real leather sofas are suitable for daily use by a busy family. For maximum durability, consider corrected grain leather sofas, which are lightly coated for an extremely hardwearing, uniform finish. Softer, corrected grain styles are marked as deluxe real leather. |
You can find out more about different types of leather finish on our materials page. Don't forget, we have leather corner sofas, leather recliners and even leather sofa beds to choose from!
Fabric sofas
Fabric sofas come in individual designs to match any home. Plus they're easy to maintain and provide fantastic value for money. Today's contemporary fabrics combine comfort and resilience and they're available in a huge range of colours and finishes. Here's how to choose your ideal sofa.

Cool and contemporary fabric sofas: If you want a stylish modern fabric sofa, we've got a range of luxurious leather-look and fabric combinations in the latest designs. Or for an extra-soft fabric sofa with unbeatable comfort and durability, try our textured chenille fabrics. |

Everyday fabric sofas: There's no need to compromise on style, even in busy homes with messy kids. Cotton upholstery is perfect for hectic households – it's soft and natural, plus it looks great too. Tired of trying to get rid of stains from grubby hands? Look for fabric sofas with removable, machine-washable covers – they're really easy to clean. |
