Somerford Sofa Range

Somerford Range Overview

Thirteen products, all fabric, all currently grey. Three individual pieces — armchair, 2 seater, 3 seater — two corner chaise orientations, and eight set configurations.

The configuration depth is this range's genuine strength: few ranges we stock offer individual pieces, both corner orientations and eight ready-made sets. What the product data confirms is material, colour, format and availability. It does not record frame construction, cushion filling, rub count or dimensions at collection level, so this page will not describe those.

Product Types and What to Verify

Our sofa sets collection covers these configurations across every range we stock.

Grey and Chocolate Somerford Sofas

Worth being accurate about, because the two are not in the same place.

Every product in this collection's current grid is grey. A chocolate Somerford does exist in our catalogue — it has been seen on other collection pages — but it does not appear here.

So if chocolate is what you want, this page will not show it to you. Ring 02476 705 600 and we will confirm what is genuinely available in that colourway rather than leaving you to hunt for it. We have flagged the colour structure internally so that a shopper looking for one Somerford colour is not shown only the other. For grey across every range, our grey sofas collection is the colour-led view.

Armchair, 2 Seater and 3 Seater Options

Start with the space each piece has to occupy rather than the number of people you want to seat.

Measure the run available, then allow clearance at each end so the piece reads as placed rather than wedged. The armchair earns its place angled into the room rather than flat against a wall. The 3 seater is the main sofa in most layouts and is currently available; the 2 seater is not, which matters more than it first appears — see the availability section below.

Exact dimensions sit on the individual product pages. Our 3 seater sofas collection covers that size across every range.

Left-Hand Versus Right-Hand Corner Sofas

This is the one decision on this page that cannot be undone, so it is worth spending a minute on.

Left-hand and right-hand are two separate products, not one product with an option. The shape of the sofa itself differs — which side the chaise section runs along — so a left-hand version cannot be turned around to serve a right-hand corner.

Do not rely on the label alone. Retailers do not all define left and right the same way: some describe the orientation as you look at the sofa, others as you sit on it. Those give opposite answers. We would rather you rang than assumed. Stand in the room, face the corner where the sofa will go, note which side the chaise needs to run along as you look at it, then ring 02476 705 600 and describe it that way. We will confirm which product matches before you order.

Both orientations are currently among the better-stocked products in this range. Our corner sofas collection covers corner options across every range and material.

Choosing a Somerford Sofa Set

Count the positions in your room that can genuinely take furniture first. Two usable positions points to a two-piece set; three opens up the three-piece combinations.

But availability should shape the shortlist here more than usual, because several configurations cannot currently be ordered.

The naming tells you the pieces rather than a guaranteed number of people. Treat the table as a snapshot and the product cards as authoritative — and note that our 2 seater sofas collection carries alternatives if the two-seater configurations here are unavailable.

Measuring for Somerford Furniture

Five minutes here prevents the one problem that cannot be fixed on delivery day.

In the room: measure the width available for each piece, the depth it projects, and the walkway you need to keep clear. On a corner chaise, measure both walls separately and the projection of the chaise into the room — the short return is the dimension people forget and usually the one that fails. Mark the full footprint with tape if the room is tight.

On the route in: measure the narrowest point of the whole journey — door width and height, hallway width, the tightest turn, and any stair landing. If a lift is involved, measure the door aperture plus internal depth and height. Allow for packaging, which adds to every dimension.

On a set, check each piece individually. Dimensions are published on the product pages, and our customer FAQs page covers the access questions we field most often.

Styling Grey Fabric Sofas

Grey is the most adaptable upholstery colour we sell, which is both its strength and the reason rooms built around it can fall flat.

Against neutral walls — off-white, warm chalk, pale stone — a grey sofa recedes and the room feels calm, but it needs something else to give it definition. Warm woods such as oak and walnut are the easiest fix: they stop a grey scheme reading cold. Dark woods give sharper contrast and suit a more formal room, though they can weigh it down if the walls are also dark.

A rug with pattern or a contrasting tone anchors the seating and stops a grey sofa merging into a grey floor. Cushions do the same job for far less money and can change with the season. Lighting matters more with grey than most colours — it shifts noticeably cooler under daylight and warmer under a lamp, so it is worth seeing in the room rather than judging from a screen. Our sofa buying guide works through the wider decision.

Fabric Care

Conservative guidance, because the specific fabric specification is not published for this range.

Start with the care label on the specific product — guidance varies by fabric and the label is the authoritative source, not this page. As general practice: vacuum with a suitable upholstery attachment where the label permits, working into the seams; blot spills promptly rather than rubbing, following the manufacturer's instructions; and test any cleaning product in an inconspicuous area first.

Keep upholstery out of the direct path of strong sunlight, which fades fabric unevenly. We are not going to tell you the covers come off or that the cushions are washable — neither is recorded in the product data, and both are exactly the kind of assumption that causes damage. Our small sofas collection covers more compact options if the Somerford footprint is more than the room takes.

Current Stock and Availability

Mixed, and worth understanding before you choose — seven of the thirteen products can currently be ordered and six cannot.

The pattern is not random. Every unavailable product contains a 2 seater, and every available one does not. The 2 seater itself is out of stock, and because it appears inside five of the eight set configurations, its absence removes those sets as well.

What that means practically: the 3 seater, the armchair, both corner orientations and the sets built from them remain available, and they cover most layouts. If you had a 2+2 or a 3+2 in mind, ring 02476 705 600 — we can usually suggest an in-stock alternative that suits the same room. Reduced and end-of-line stock appears in our outlet collection.

Delivery, Finance and Returns

Delivery. Most in-stock items arrive within 7–10 working days, free to England and Wales, carried out by a two-person employed team rather than a third-party courier. They bring every piece into your chosen ground-floor room where access allows. If you are outside England and Wales, ring 02476 705 600 before ordering. Full details are on our delivery information page.

Finance. You can spread the cost with PayPal Pay in 3, Klarna Pay in 3 or Pay in 30, both interest-free, Clearpay in 4 interest-free fortnightly payments, or DivideBuy for longer-term plans. All finance is subject to a credit check and to provider terms, and the options open to you are confirmed at checkout.

Returns and cover. Furniture Instore offers 14-day returns — a 14-day change of mind window from delivery. A set is sold as a set and returned as a set. On faults, there is no separate frame warranty; your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply in full.

Why Choose the Somerford Range?

Four things, all checkable rather than asserted.

Configuration depth. Individual pieces, both corner orientations and eight set combinations — more layout options than most ranges we stock. Both corner hands are available, which is not always the case. A matching armchair that works standalone or inside a set. And fabric upholstery in a single grey, so everything matches exactly rather than approximately.

What we are not going to tell you is how long it will last, how the frame is built or how the cushions will hold up — none of that is recorded in our product data. Our Coventry showroom at 440–450 Stoney Stanton Road is open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm, and the team is on 02476 705 600. Provider terms are on our finance options page.
