15 Of The Best Sofas For Your Home

Best Sofa Picks

For a lot of us the sofa is one of the most used pieces of furniture in our homes, with only the bed seeing more use in a 24 hour time period. It's important then that we consider all the options before investing. With a wide range of sizes, upholstery options, leg/base types, colours, comfort and cost variations to consider, it's easy to understand why someone may get a little overwhelmed when searching for your ideal sofa.

We're helping narrow down the search by sharing 10 of our favourite sofas from across our collection below. Whether you call it a sofa, a settee or a couch - we're sure one of these great designs will hit the mark.


1. Hay Mags

The Hay Mags Sofa gives equally high priority to all the key components of a sofa design which can't be seen - suspension, composition of the foam and durability of the upholstery. Mags is available in a range of sizes and configurations, each of which feature high arm rests and deep seat make Mags ideal for relaxation.

3. Hay Can

The Can Sofa designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Hay aims to reinvigorate the whole idea of the sofa, from something inherently complicated, to something simple and relaxed. The Bouroulllec brothers have gone beyond the creation of a practical, elegant and comfortable design in an attempt to create something customisable and transportable, the idea "driven by internet situations where you can choose the textile, the structure, the size and receive it quite quickly".

The Lune Sofa was designed by Jaime Hayon for Danish furniture giant Fritz Hansen. With the collection Jaime Hayon has taken the flexibility of a modular system and added an aesthetic layer to create a sofa built from several modules with the visual expression of one singular sofa.
