The Verona range in cream is a soft, classic fabric high-back sofa collection — comfortable, cosy and easy to live with. Its taller back and generous cushioning make it a snug place to relax, and because there's a piece for every need — from a single armchair to a full corner, a sofa bed or a coordinated suite — it's easy to furnish a whole room in one design. These are traditional, fixed sofas rather than recliners. To see the wider range of sofas across the store, our sofas collection is a good place to start.
A high back sofa simply has a taller backrest than a standard sofa, so it gives your head and shoulders somewhere to rest when you lean back — a cosy, enveloping sit that many people find especially comfortable for relaxing, reading or watching television. It's a matter of comfort and style rather than anything technical: the extra height makes the sofa feel snug and gives it a smart, substantial presence in a room. To compare other high-back designs across the store, our high back sofas collection shows the wider choice.
The Verona cream range is upholstered in soft, woven fabric — warm and cosy to sit on, and one of the most inviting materials for a sofa you'll relax on every day. We keep fabric clearly distinct from leather and from leather-look Leather Aire, so you always know what you're buying; fabric has its own comfortable, textured feel and is cared for by vacuuming and spot-cleaning rather than wiping. The exact fabric detail for this range is shown on the product page. To explore the wider fabric choice across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.
There's a piece for every room. Choose a single armchair, a 2 seater or a 3 seater for everyday seating, a sofa bed that doubles as a bed for guests, or a roomy corner sofa for sociable, space-smart seating. The corner comes in more than one option, so check the product page for the orientation you need — left and right conventions can differ between retailers, so it's always worth checking the diagram and measuring. To see the full choice of corner sofas across the store, our corner sofas collection is a good reference.
Yes — the range includes sofa beds, a smart, practical way to add an occasional guest bed without needing a spare room. By day it's a comfortable high-back sofa; when you need it, it converts to a bed for overnight visitors. The exact bed size and how the mechanism works are shown on the product page, so it's worth checking those details, along with the space you'll need to open it out. To see the wider choice of sofa beds across the store, our sofa beds collection is a good place to look.
As well as individual pieces, Verona comes in matching combinations to furnish a whole room in one design. Combinations are written as a simple sum, where each number is a piece by its number of seats: 3 is a 3-seater, 2 is a 2-seater and 1 is an armchair. So 2+1 is a 2-seater plus an armchair, 2+2 is two 2-seaters, 3+2 is a 3-seater plus a 2-seater, 3+2+1 is a full suite of a 3-seater, a 2-seater and an armchair, and 3+3 is two 3-seaters — with 2+1+1 and 3+1+1 (a sofa plus two armchairs) available too. To browse coordinated sets across the store, our sofa sets collection is a good reference.
| Notation | What it means | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Armchair | A single seat | An extra seat or a reading chair |
| 2+1 / 3+1 | 2- or 3-seater + armchair | Smaller rooms; a sofa and a single seat |
| 2+2 | Two 2-seaters | Flexible, symmetrical seating |
| 3+2 | 3-seater + 2-seater | A classic pair for a family room |
| 2+1+1 / 3+1+1 | Sofa + two armchairs | A sofa plus two individual seats |
| 3+2+1 | 3-seater + 2-seater + armchair | A full living-room suite |
| 3+3 | Two 3-seaters | Larger families; lots of seats |
Cream is a soft, warm off-white — lighter and gentler than a stark white, with a subtle warmth that feels elegant and inviting. It keeps a room bright, calm and airy, and makes a space feel more open. It's worth being honest that, as a pale shade, cream shows everyday marks more readily than a darker colour, so it rewards a little more regular care — but for a light, fresh look it's hard to beat, and in soft fabric it feels especially cosy. It pairs beautifully with warm neutrals, natural wood and soft greys. To compare other neutral tones across the store, our cream sofas page shows the wider choice.
Measuring is key, especially for a combination or a corner. Note the width, depth and height of each piece — a high back adds a little to the height, so check it fits under any low window sills or sloped ceilings — and mark the pieces out on the floor with tape so you can see how they sit together and whether you can move around them. For the sofa bed, allow the space to open it out fully, and for the corner, double-check the orientation. And measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — before you buy. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.
Fabric is straightforward to look after with a little regular attention, and a pale shade like cream rewards a bit more. Vacuum it regularly with an upholstery tool to lift dust and crumbs, and plump the cushions to keep them even. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and check the care label before using any cleaning product, testing it on a hidden area first — this matters more on a light colour. Keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading, and for the sofa bed, keep the mechanism clear and don't force it.
Yes. Every Verona piece meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies across every piece, including the sofa beds and corner.
Most in-stock Verona pieces are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring each piece into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a corner or a suite is a large delivery, it's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.

We specialise in upholstered furniture, and the Verona cream is a soft, comfortable fabric high-back range that lets you furnish a single seat or a whole room — including a handy sofa bed — in one coordinated, traditional design. We describe things honestly, so you know the Verona cream is soft woven fabric (kept distinct from leather and leather-look Leather Aire), we describe the high back as a comfort and style feature rather than making any technical claims, and we're upfront that a pale shade like cream shows marks more and needs a little more care. You're welcome to visit our Coventry showroom to try the sofas and see the cream in person before you decide. Every order comes with free delivery by our own two-person team and our 14-day change-of-mind returns, we hold a 4.8★ Excellent rating from over 4,800 genuine Trustpilot reviews, and you can spread the cost interest-free with Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal Pay in 3, or over a longer term with DivideBuy, all subject to credit check.
