Collection: Sofas

The sofa is where the living room comes together — it's the seat you use most, so comfort and size matter more than the label. Get the size, the shape and the cover right and you'll be happy with it for years. Here's how we'd talk it through if you were standing in front of the range.

How many seats do you actually need?

Start with the wall the sofa sits against and who's using it. A 2 seater (around 140–160 cm) suits a unit, study or snug lounge. A 3 seater (roughly 180–210 cm) is the everyday family pick — room for everyone without swallowing the floor. Going bigger? A corner or chaise lounge wraps two walls and seats the whole crowd in an open-plan room. Leave about 40 cm of walking space around it, and check the packed width against your doorways and any stair turns before you order.

Fabric, leather or velvet?

This is really a lifestyle question. Woven fabric is the easy all-rounder — soft, warm and hard-wearing, and a removable cover means you can wash it. Leather wipes clean in seconds, which makes it the sensible choice with kids or a dog, though it's cooler to sit on in a Melbourne winter and the coating can crack after years of heavy use. Velvet looks rich and feels lovely, but it shows marks and likes to be kept out of direct sun. Pets or little ones? Go for a performance fabric or a removable, washable cover.

Sofa bed or standard sofa?

If guests stay over, or the lounge doubles as a spare room, a sofa bed earns its keep — the modern ones fold flat in seconds and storage styles hide the bedding in the base. If it's purely for lounging, a standard or corner sofa gives you deeper, firmer seating. Corner sofa beds split the difference: everyday L-shaped seating that converts when visitors land.

Which way should a corner sofa face?

The one detail people get wrong on a corner sofa is the chaise direction. Sofas are sold left-hand or right-hand facing, judged as you look at the sofa from the front. Picture where the long chaise needs to sit against your wall, then match that orientation on the product page — it's the difference between a snug fit and a return.

What we'd tell a friend

Measure your doorway before you fall for a big corner lounge — plenty of returns start with "it wouldn't fit through the door." And if you've got kids or a dog, leather or a removable, washable cover will save you a world of grief down the track.

Common questions

What size sofa is most popular in Australia?
A 3 seater. It seats a family across roughly 180–210 cm without taking over the room. A 2 seater suits smaller spaces; a corner or chaise lounge suits open-plan living.

Fabric or leather — which is easier to clean?
Leather. Spills sit on the surface and wipe straight off, which helps with kids and pets. Fabric feels warmer and softer — pick a removable cover you can throw in the wash.

How long should a sofa last?
A good one lasts about 7 to 15 years. When the cushions stay flat, the frame creaks or the seat sags, it's had its day. Rotating and plumping the cushions buys extra years.

Do sofas arrive assembled?
Most are ready to use or just need the legs screwed on. Bigger corner and modular lounges arrive in sections you clip together — the listing tells you which.

Can I pay with Afterpay?
Yes — Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. A $600 sofa works out to four fortnightly payments of $150 with Afterpay.
