Payton Orange Velvet 2 Seater Sofa

Product Information

Kelly Collins, interior designer and head of creative at sofa brand Swyft, says, ‘Always ask the sofa manufacturer about the frame guarantee and how long the frame will last. If it’s a good quality sofa the frame will be made from solid wood (or metal) and it will come with a long guarantee. For example, Swyft’s frame guarantee is 15 years because the frames are built from quality, solid wood’. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. We asked multiple furniture maker’s how you can tell if a sofa is good quality, and their answers were unanimous; it’s all about the frame first and foremost. Seat comfort can also be tailored to your preference with a choice of fibre-wrapped foam or feather-wrapped foam seat cushions for low-maintenance squish-factor, and there are a whopping 175+ upholstery options to choose from.

Adding this trend-setting piece to your home is easy. There's minimum assembly; it's just a case of fixing the legs into position.Just like finding the best mattress for you, finding the most comfortable sofa for you will depend a lot on personal preference, and there is nothing that can quite replace going into the showroom and sit-testing a few of your favourite styles. We've rounded up the most important things to look out for when considering comfort. Once you've chosen your favourite sofa shape, then it's time to choose colour and fabric. Most sofa retailers offer models in a range of fabrics, generally including more affordable polyester and cotton mixes (which often have better stain resistance so are useful for homes with young families), and more expensive linens, velvets, and leathers. Take advantage of fabric samples to view colours and textures in your own home, as lighting can often look very different to that in showrooms or online representations, and bear in mind that the more luxurious fabrics are also likely to increase the sofa price quite considerably. As much as you might love pale colours, for family living a darker or marl shade is likely to prove more stress-free, helping to disguise any mishaps! If you're using a sofa to zone a room, then a low-to-the-ground model can offer a great way to create dedicated areas without breaking up the space too much, but, the flipside is that (once past a certain age perhaps) low seating can be harder to get up from and can encourage you to sprawl more than sit.

If you have the space to work with then you're unlikely to regret opting for more sofa to stretch out on, especially if you have multiple housemates, family, or friends to seat comfortably.

We understand the frustration that can arise from delivery delays, and we apologize for the unexpected wait. Your experience does not align with the high standard of service we aim to provide, and we genuinely appreciate your patience throughout this process. A modular sofa is the ultimate versatile seating solution, with individual seating sections allowing you to configure a bespoke sofa layout to best suit your room. You can add, subtract or rearrange the modules if you want to transfer the sofa to a different room or move home, and invest in more sections as and when budget allows. Francesca Hadland, styling expert for furniture retailer Bridgman, is of a similar opinion, stating ‘Although cheaper furniture may appear the same on the surface, cheaper pieces will show signs of wear and tear much faster and within just a couple of years, you’ll have the hassle of replacing the furniture and re-spending your money.” At the other end of the scale are feather cushions. These are generally more expensive but provide a more plumptious seat, although the feathers can gradually shift so you'll need to do more plumping.
