Coates Chair

Any Fabric in the World

In our sofa showrooms, we morph rapidly from being an online retailer of sofas, to a literal wonderland of colour, shape & texture, where people who adore sofas, chat and spend their days.

Our sofa Workshops are just outside Nottingham; we are pretty obsessed with British is best... at least when it comes to all things Sofa.

We make all our handmade sofa collection in our factory in Nottingham.

We're pretty proud of this, because the UK- and our factory in particular - is still a powerhouse of furniture-making, creating really beautiful, great quality sofas using traditional skills that have been honed over hundreds of years.

This means we get our sofas to you quickly.

There is no hanging around waiting for a container from China, or a truck from Europe. In fact, we deliver in about half the time of most of our competitors, in approximately 30 days. Fancy a beautiful velvet devoré? A 50's linen print? A Scottish wool plaid? Once you have chosen your shape and your fabric online or in a sofa store, your sofa order will be in production in our factory directly, with no expensive middleman and no chain.

Made to measure sofas

Speak to us, and that special size one of a kind settee, to fit the sitting room bay window will also not be beyond our capabilities.

Competitively priced sofas

We are completely obsessed by creating well-made, beautiful British sofas that have been made- as far as possible- in the UK. Well-priced, very high quality sofas, beds and chairs that look fabulous and last well.

We have also been making sofas for more years than Andrew our MD likes to admit. Since the 1980s, in fact. In that time we have made well over 180,000 sofas and we are pretty good at it.

Fuss free return policy and 15 years

We offer a Fuss Free returns policy and then back it up with our 15 years on all our frames and springs because we believe in our furniture. We know how good it is, so we have no hesitation in offering a guarantee.

We only sell on our website or at our beautiful countryside sofa shops

We keep our prices keen because we only sell via our website or our beautiful barns in the country or warehouse-style city stores, avoiding high street overheads. Parking is right outside, plentiful and free, so you can browse our showrooms in peace. When you are ready for some help you can discuss sofa shapes and your fabric options over a freshly-brewed cup of coffee with knowledgeable advisers who will not pressure you.
