12 best sofas: affordable sofas that are big on style Looking for the best sofas? There are few pieces of furniture that are going to make quite as much impact on our homes as the sofa we choose, or that are likely to be quite as much of an investment, so picking the best sofa for you is an important decision. A sofa is the place we sit down and relax in the evening, gather with friends and family, and spend a good chunk of our everyday lives, so obviously any design we invest in needs to be comfortable. And, as one of the largest pieces of furniture in our living rooms – and an item we’re likely to look at every single day – it also needs to score big on style. Plus, of course, there’s budget to consider. It’s clear that a sofa has to fulfil a lot of different requirements, and that’s where our best sofas round-up is here to help. We’ve pulled together the best sofas on the Ideal Homes radar and highlighted the key factors to consider before making a purchase. Whether you want a spacious corner sofa with room for all of the family, a chaise sofa to kick back and relax on, a classic three-seater sofa, or a contemporary two-seater, we’ll help you to narrow down your search. And if you want your sofa to work a little harder, then make sure to check out our guide to the best sofa beds too. Best sofas 2022: the Ideal Home edit 1. Sofa.com Holly 2 Seat Sofa Best sofa for small homes: a compact and high-legged design that’s super comfortable Dimensions: H87 x W155 x D90cm *other sizes available*Seat height: 50cmSeat depth: 54cmUpholstery options: 70+Matching furniture: Armchair, footstoolDoes it come in grey: Yes! Over 20 different shades If you’re looking for a sofa to fit into a small living room then the Holly is a great option to consider. Although the 155cm width two-seater sofa is the most compact seating size on offer, the model also comes in a wide choice of larger space-saving options including two-and-a-half, three and four-seater sofas, plus a variety of chaise and corner sofa sizes. Its petite proportions are partly down to the slim armrests that lend the design a contemporary edge, and its ability to make a small room feel more spacious is largely thanks to those tall legs which allow the eye to travel under the sofa and reduce the frame’s bulk to give the impression of more spaciousness. Clever tricks aside, this is also both a stylish and comfortable sofa at a great price point. There are 70+ upholstery options on offer, including some brilliant shades of velvet, and feather-wrapped foam seat cushions, feather back cushions, and a high-backed frame deliver just the right mix of squish and support. It’s also a good option if you want to overhaul your entire living room suite, with a coordinating armchair and footstool available alongside the wealth of sofa sizes. What’s not to love?

MADE Luciano Chaise End Corner Sofa Best chaise sofa: a spacious L-shaped sofa with plenty of bounce Dimensions: H86 x W278 x D154cmSeat height: 46cmSeat depth: 60cmUpholstery options: 7Matching furniture: NoDoes it come in grey: Yes! Fabric or leather As long as you have the space, then you’re not likely to regret opting for a chaise or corner sofa – especially in a family living room. Perfect for stretching out and putting your feet up, an L-shaped chaise gives that bit more room for relaxing (although you could add a footstool instead if that offers more versatility). Although adding an extra few feet of legroom does mean you’re going to increase the cost of a sofa, which is why we think this affordable chaise sofa from MADE is a great value option. Upholstery options are limited to just 7 choices, but there are some good fabric selections amongst those, including the versatile Mountain Grey (pictured), plus some attractive leathers if that’s more your style (although they will add on an extra £800 to the price tag). Comfort-wise this chaise sofa doesn’t miss a beat either. We tested the leather version (which is likely to be a little firmer) and the seat cushions were pleasantly soft with a surprising amount of bounce, plus back cushions offered a good level of support. Unlike some chaise sofas you can’t swap the chaise section around on this model, so just make sure you plan out your room layout before you buy, and lead times can be on the lengthy side, so you may need to be willing to wait to put your feet up. Otherwise, we think this is a great option to get comfortable on. Buy now: Luciano Chaise Corner Sofa, from £1099, MADE 3.

Over 30 different shades A modern sofa with a nod to the classic Chesterfield design in its buttoned cushion detail, this is a sofa that will blend easily into a broad range of interiors, helped by the 90+ upholstery options that are on offer. Although, if you opt for the fabric pictured – a nice mid-tone grey with light wood legs – then this sofa can be delivered in as little as seven days (a rarity in the world of sofa shopping where lead times of 10-12 weeks are the norm). Available in a good range of sizes, including a two, three, and four-seater, plus a chaise option, it’s also a good value option with prices starting from £1449 for the most compact design. And – the important bit, of course – this a really comfortable sofa to sit on. The relatively high back cushions are soft but firm,…
