Big Sofa Buying Guide

Or maybe you wish to make a statement with your sofa, and have it as the focal point and key feature of your sitting room, in which case of course it makes sense to go large and invest in an oversized one.

Finally, with bigger models everyone can make themselves comfortable with plenty of room - and if you're using it on your own, you'll be able to stretch out fully and recline in luxury! After all, your living space is where you relax and unwind, so why would you ever want to feel less than totally at ease? Bigger really can be better!

Wondering just how big your sofa can be?

There are three answers to that question, firstly, you can select your large sofa from our range of off the peg large sofas or by using our design your own tool, these will allow you to create a large sofa that is up to 3 meters or just over in length, a large sofa like this is big enough to comfortably seat 5 at the same time.

You also get more space, which may amount to one extra seat. That could be a real benefit if you like to watch the Saturday night movie as a family, for example. No-one has to perch uncomfortably on the floor! choosing an armless sofa doesn't mean compromising on choice of materials, or custom options so you can make your furniture your own and reflective of your own sense of style.

As ever, you can choose between our off-the-peg models or create your own sofa with our design tool.

You could use your one-armed sofa model in various ways, for example:

The solution is to turn your large sofa into a large sofa with storage, with all our sofas, whichever model you have, you can choose to have a storage tray below the seat, for a modest additional cost. This is a particularly handy place, for example, to keep bedding if you have gone for one of our sofa bed options. Or towels, photo albums or anything else that needs to be stored out of sight.

Choose to have a useful tray under a sofa seat - so much cleaner than storing things under the floor below the settee, where dust inevitably gathers. Keep everything neat, tidy and to hand, and reduce the need for expensive out of town storage units.

Most of our big sofas, even the corner models, come with the option to add an easy-to-use three-fold sofa bed mechanism that can be easily pulled out and deployed - in fact, the job can be done in around 60 seconds. A lot of people believe that having a sofa bed will reduce the comfort of the sofa, this is not the case with a Nabru sofa. We have designed a unique base structure which allows the bed to fit in without any contact with the seat foam, our customer feedback is their guests never knew a bed was in the sofa!

When choosing a bigger sofa bed, ensure you still have sufficient room, bearing in mind that there needs to be enough space to pull the sofa bed mechanism out. With our models, the total measurement from the sofa back to the tip of the deployed sofa bed is 235cm.

Piping - You can choose to have a piped trim on your seat cushions, for a smart finishing touch.

Two-tone option - One colour not enough for you? Or are you finding it hard to choose between two colours? Have the sofa in contrasting hues. Our two-tone fabrics apply to the arms and base of the sofa, and most people like to go for a contrasting darker shade to create more texture with shades in their living space.

Our sofas are extendable - If you want a large sofa with the option to make it bigger or shorter, we have seats that can be extended so you can put your feet up.

Alternatively, split one big sofa into two smaller pieces, and use these to create a superb corner sofa.

You can, of course, also choose the shape you want to fit your room. Large sofas come in a variety of styles, and at Nabru we offer:

Finally - giving even more flexibility - all our covers are loose and separately fitted, and can be taken off for care and maintenance. That means you don't have to worry if you get a stain on an arm or seat cover, since it can be removed and cleaned or replaced. That's helpful, particularly, if you have children or pets or if you do a lot of entertaining - drinks can so easily get spilled. Equally, if you have had your sofa for several years, you may want a change of colour scheme, and changing the fabric of your sofa will really help complement, say, a different shade on your walls.

But don't worry about the self-assembly. You won't need any tools, and the various parts just slot together, so it's all really straightforward. You won't be poring over complicated diagrams all weekend!

Because our sofas are UK-made, we can offer next day delivery, including on those that have been self-designed, so you won't be kept hanging around for your order. That could be vital if you're moving home or expecting guests. Just order by midday the day before.

Finally, if you change your mind about your sofa, that's fine by us. We understand it happens - and your sofa is too important to have one in your home that's less than perfect for you, whatever the reason. Our policy on returns is straightforward, and you can send a sofa back to us free of charge.
