We recently bought some. We found the best place was Next at a price acceptable to us.

They appear to us who aren't experts to be well !made. We looked for quality of fabric, how the display furniture had coped with being mistreated in the shop, how the upholstery felt e.g. firm, hardwearing etc. and guarantee.

Sit on it and test for comfort.

Sturdiness, back support. Do your feet touch the ground ? Select a fabric and just give it a good once over. But from a reputable seller. Back street firms offer shoddy rubbish generally.

Go to a charity furniture shop or warehouse. We have three near us so I think there are lots around. There a lot of good quality stuff in them and you can save a small fortune.

"Go to Sofology and buy leather. "

I'll second this. Bought a lovely Italian leather suite from here. Amazing quality.

Be a bit wary of leather, depending on what clothes you wear to lounge around in. My sister wears her silk pjs to relax in and she slides around on her new leather sofa.

If you want quality head to Lee Longlands.

Not cheap but top class on quality.

Also if you go for a more modern "trendy" design it will look dated more quickly than if you buy a classic design.
