What is the Canterbury sofa range?

A classic, traditionally styled fabric sofa range upholstered in a hard-wearing woven fabric. It comes in two colours — truffle and grey — and in a full set of sizes: a single armchair, a 2 seater, a 3 seater and a wide choice of matching sofa sets such as 2+1, 2+2, 3+3, 3+2+1 and 2+1+1.

What material is the Canterbury sofa — is it leather?

No. The Canterbury range is upholstered in a woven fabric, a hard-wearing upholstery fabric chosen for everyday durability. It's a fabric, kept distinct from other finishes: it isn't a plush velvet, a brushed suede, or a smooth leather or leather-look material. It's warm to sit on and practical for a busy family room.

What colours are available?

Two: a soft, warm truffle and a cool grey. Truffle is a taupe-toned neutral that sits between beige and grey, adding warmth without being too dark, while grey is a cool, contemporary neutral that suits almost any room and is fairly forgiving of everyday marks. Check the product grid above for current stock in each colour.

What colour is truffle?

Truffle is a soft, warm taupe — a greige neutral that sits between beige and grey. It adds a little warmth to a room without being as dark as brown, and it pairs beautifully with both cool and warm schemes, which makes it a versatile, understated choice that works in a wide range of interiors.

Are Canterbury sofas traditional or recliners?

Canterbury is a traditional, fixed-frame range — classic, comfortable sofas with no reclining mechanism, so there's nothing to plug in or maintain. The timeless shape suits both modern and more classic rooms. If you'd prefer a reclining sofa, we have separate recliner ranges to choose from.

What sizes and sets are available?

A single armchair, a 2 seater and a 3 seater, plus matching sofa set combinations such as 2+1, 2+2, 3+3, 3+2+1 and 2+1+1, with more besides. Smaller sizes suit compact rooms, while the larger sets suit busy family spaces — combinations like 2+1+1 and 3+2+1 pair a sofa with individual chairs. Check the product grid above for what's currently in stock.

How do I clean and care for a fabric sofa?

Vacuum weekly on a low setting or with an upholstery brush to lift dust, crumbs and pet hair, and plump and rotate the cushions to keep them even. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth and avoid soaking the fabric. For marks, use a cleaner suitable for upholstery fabric, test it on a hidden area first, and check the care label for the recommended cleaning code.

How durable are Canterbury sofas and how long do they last?

The hard-wearing woven fabric is built to last, and with regular care a well-made fabric sofa gives many years of everyday service. Both colours are reasonably forgiving of everyday marks. Durability depends on use and care; dealing with spills promptly and keeping the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight both help.

What is the difference between fabric, velvet, suede and leather sofas?

A woven fabric like the Canterbury's is a hard-wearing, comfortable everyday weave. Velvet is a soft, plush pile with a sheen and natural shading. Suede is a brushed, soft-touch finish. Leather and leather-look materials are smooth and wipe clean. They're all different upholstery types, and we keep them clearly distinct so you know exactly what you're buying.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 14-day change of mind returns window from the day your sofa is delivered, on items returned in their original condition. To arrange a return, contact our team within those 14 days and we'll talk you through the next steps. This is in addition to your statutory rights, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described.

What happens if my sofa arrives damaged?

If your sofa arrives with any damage, contact our team as soon as possible — ideally within 48 hours — with a few photographs, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or collection. It helps to check the sofa over on delivery before the team leaves where you can.

Do I need to assemble the sofa myself?

There's very little to do. Our two-person team brings the sofa into your room and fits any feet or connects any sections on-site, so it's ready to use. Larger sets arrive in pieces that link together, with no tools needed.

What guarantee comes with these sofas?

Every sofa is inspected before it leaves us, and your purchase is protected by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described. You also have our 14-day change of mind returns. For confirmation of any specific manufacturer guarantee on a particular model, please check the product page or ask our team before you order.
