Product Build


All of our sofas are made in the UK

Our furniture is beautifully designed and built using techniques some of which have been passed down through generations of traditional upholstery makers. Using some of the finest leather hides and cloths from prestigious fabric houses such as Linwood and Warwick ensures the finishing materials compliment the quality of our build.

Leathers - Request Free Swatch

We know when it comes to making a decision for your home it is important to get as much advise as possible. With over 50 years manufacturing experience with the best quality UK hides, we are both pleased and qualified to offer our assistance. Leather is a naturally beautiful product and we believe the best looking sofas are created using leathers that are tanned to realize the inherent character and integrity of the hide. Aniline and Semi-Aniline leather are pigmented with natural aniline dyes to ensure the unique variation of each hide is preserved. Our aniline leathers are produced using only the top 5% of hides to create the wonderful display of leathers presented in our range. We avoid using lower quality coloured leathers whose natural characteristics tend to have been obscured in the manufacturing process, enabling the production of fine bespoke English furniture.

Our friendly staff are always on hand to help with the decision making and further explain the differing leather options available. Free samples of leathers are also available by calling / e-mailing the sales office or using our free brochure page online to select upto 6 different samples.

Fabrics - Request Free Swatch

When choosing fabric for your furniture, you want something that looks beautiful and stands up to everyday life. We work closely with some of the world’s best fabric houses to offer a carefully selected range—everything from soft linens and plush velvets to durable wools, cottons, and chenilles.

Most fabrics are stocked here in the UK and can be used on any piece in the collection. If you find a fabric you like but the colour isn’t quite right (or vice versa), just ask—we can usually source other options directly from the fabric house.

Worried about mess? Don’t be. There’s a wide selection of easy-clean fabrics—perfect for homes with children or pets—that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Because everything is made on-site, you can customise your sofa to suit your style and lifestyle. And if you’re unsure which fabric is the best fit, the team is always here to help you decide.

Please note: Fabric cushions are fully reversible. Only the INTERIOR of leather cushions are reversible; leather cushions are made one-sided to allow the leather to breathe and avoid bursts in the seams.

Wood Colour

The choice of the feet used on a sofa is a simple yet personal decision. The English Sofa Company is pleased to offer eleven different styles from simple solid wooden feet in various round or square shapes and sizes through to modern chrome blocks or casters. Select your sofa and size and then specify your feet choice and even colour in the ‘personalise your sofa’ section prior to ordering online.

Studding

Hand studs or stud nails are individually fitted to all of our Chesterfield designs. Often our signature Renaissance Stud (antique on steel) is suitable, but once again the luxury of tailoring your furniture continues with the choice of stud colours or even a piping option as a alternative to the traditional stud.

Mattress

Many of our great sofa designs are available as sofa beds and are supplied with a 5” sprung mattress as standard. A two fold metal frame with 1/3 webbing and 2/3 wooden slats form the base providing great support when used as a bed and optimum comfort when enjoyed as a sofa. Memory foam mattresses are optionally available on our contemporary range of leather and fabric sofas.

Restrictions in the nature of the design of our Chesterfield sofa means that only a 3.5” - 4” foam mattress can be fitted onto a 3 fold action, with a fully webbed base, without wooded slats.

Bolt On Arms

This additional service has enabled many customers to get one of our great sofas into some of the smallest of spaces. By altering the frame construction prior to upholstery we are able to offer many of our sofas with a construction design that enables the arms to be removed on delivery for ease of access. Our experienced furniture handlers will remove the packaging and securely bolt the arms to the frame of the sofa. Structurally sound and aesthetically unchanged the bolt on arm option has worked perfectly for many customers, with the added bonus that the arms can easily be taken off with a small amount of effort enabling the furniture to be removed from the home and move with you should the occasion arise.

Fabric - Stain Resist Treatment

Many of our beautiful fabric sofas have the option of fabric treatment to guard against spills and stains. Ask a member of our team for more details.
