Firstly, lets go through a few things you need to consider beforehand: How to Buy a Sofa Online - Choosing a sofa to buy online can seem like a daunting task, but at Downtown we want to make this task as pleasant and simple as possible, all from the comfort of your own home. If you are not sure where to start, a good idea is to consider what size of sofa you want or have room for. You will also want to think about the rest of the decor in your living space, any other home furnishings such as rugs and the colours you might like.

Sofa Size - A 2 seater sofa is ideal for small living spaces and providing any additional seating. Large enough to be comfortable but not too big so that they dominate a room, a smaller sofa such as a 2 seater or a 2.5 seater if a good choice if you have an unusual size living space or you have other large pieces of furniture in the room such as a large coffee table. A 3 seater sofa is a common choice for families, offering seating for both parents and little ones, or even for stretching out and taking a nap. For those with even more space we also offer large 4 seater sofas that make a great focal point and also offer more comfortable seating. To make your shopping experience easier, you can filter your search by sofa size to find the right amount of seating for your needs.

Sofa Upholstery - After deciding on what size sofa you need, you now need to choose whether you are looking for a fabric, faux leather or leather sofa. The material of your sofa is going to affect the overall look and feel of your living room. A leather sofa is easy to look after as you can wipe them down with a damp cloth, as well as creating a sleek feel. Fabric sofas will bring a softer look to your room and create a cosier environment. Fabrics are also available in a huge range of colours, textures and patterns; meaning there are a lot of options for your to choose from.

Many of our sofas also offer additional options such as the ability to recline, foot or stud colour, cushion filling and more.
