Sofas, Updated.

If you're looking for a fully functional sofa, take a look at the TechSofa range, series 1 to series 7 - prices start from £1695 for the two seater but can be considerably more for more seats. This review is for the series 6 sofa.

Functionality: you could be forgiven for thinking that you are piloting a luxury aircraft. The plush feel of pseudo-suede or the pseudo-leather options are practical for spilled drinks, for example if you're in the reclining position and mis-judge the distance or trajectory between the chilled cup-holder and your mouth. In additional to the smooth electric reclining controls, there is a seat-warmer. Warm seat, chilled drink. Wow.

Inside the centre storage console there are 2x 13Amp sockets. You also have 4x USB chargers plus a wireless charging pad. And the sound from the Bluetooth speakers is incredible - the best we've heard in a sofa! You can finally have a seat at home that is as good as your car seat - it's been a long time coming.

We chose a 'small' (it's not small) corner unit. It's perfect for two people to share a cinema or gaming experience plus there's enough room to invite a couple of friends in to watch a televised game of football. Also, it accommodates people who may be considered of the wide / heavy persuasion and the frame is guaranteed for ten years.

Customer Service & Delivery: purchasing went smoothly, delivery was on time and the guys were efficient and friendly. The gave a run-through of the features and answered all our questions.

Expensive? Let's say "not cheap" but...
Value for money? Yes.

Sofas and Chairs

If you're looking for something a little bit different yet stylish and very practical, have you seen the fabulous Fama furniture collection from Julia Jones? 

Innovative designs in a range of colours, the quality of the Fama furniture is good and this retailer, a family-run small business, has an excellent customer service ethic. 

Choose from lounging chairs and sofas, sofa-beds from 4ft width to 6ft widths, modular furniture - with a choice of fabrics and leather finishes. Recliner options are manual, battery and electric. 

We purchased a sofa-bed and swivel-recliner chairs a few months ago. Unfortuately, the delivery company damaged one of the chairs but Julia Jones ensured that this was replaced, as soon as possible, without fuss. We have been happily using the furniture all day, every day. With so many seating options, it's impossible not to be comfortable! 

And, just to be clear, this review was not requested nor have we received any financial incentive.
