5 of the best… sofas
Kick those shoes off and settle in: it's the speed-round Muddy edit of the most important thing you'll ever buy — a sofa. Squashy, stylish, easy to clean...how do you like 'em?
Roomy
Strictly speaking it’s a four-seater, but come Christmas you know there’ll be a good six whole bums squeezing onto this Duresta Vaughan II sofa from John Lewis. It’s a grand style, with brass-tipped wooden legs, duck feather cushions, and high sides (convenient to prevent anyone toppling off). We love the splendour of the turmeric velvet, too.
£2675
curvy
An appealing mix of 60s showbiz glamour and cushion-y comfort, this Vivienne Modular Sofa from Soho Home is inspired by the mid-century British television industry. It’s got a cool wrap-around back design, and is made out of textured boucle fabric, like one giant cushion. We like.
£4395
Retro
This 2-Seater Tan Leather sofa from Heal’s has a simple, stylish design that has the benefit of being wipe-clean (talking to all you Messy Bessies out there). Think vintage French club chic brought into the 21st century.
£1999
classic
Just a real good, real comfy place to sit: this Banoffee sofa from Loaf is ultra-squishy and no-fuss, and handmade in Derbyshire.
£1645
simple
A pared-back, contemporary look at an easy-on-the-bank-account price. This Monterosso sofa from MADE is trendy but subtle, so can fit effortlessly into your sitting room. Then, crucially, you can sit effortlessly on it.
