The Story Big is our flagship corner sofa — a piece of furniture that's been refined across nine generations of upholstery in southern Poland. The frame is solid pine and birch ply, joined with screws and corner-blocked timber rather than staples. The seat foundation uses sinuous steel springs over webbing, topped with a multi-density HR-35 foam core that's been tested to 80,000 compression cycles before the slightest sag.
What you actually feel when you sit down is a deep, quietly supportive cushion that holds its shape after fifteen years — not three. The chaise is generous (188 cm deep) so two adults can stretch out comfortably; the back cushions are loose, fibre-filled, and re-stuffable.
Puente is a heavyweight chenille weave with a soft, slightly textured hand and a quiet matte finish. The yarn is 100% polyester, treated with our Easy-Clean finish, and rated to 45,000 Martindale rubs — comfortably in the "heavy domestic" bracket. It hides crumbs, doesn't pill, and the colour reads warm-grey in daylight, cooler under evening light.
It's our most-ordered fabric for corner sofas, and the one we'd recommend for households with kids and pets. If you want to see it in person before deciding, order a free swatch — we'll send up to 8.
Quick delivery models like this one ship from our London warehouse within 14 days — often sooner. We deliver Tuesday to Saturday and call 24 hours before with a 2-hour window. Two delivery operatives bring the sofa into your room of choice, assemble it, and remove all packaging.
Vacuum the cushions weekly with a soft brush. Rotate them monthly to even out wear. Spot-clean spills with cool water and a clean cotton cloth — work from the outside in. For deeper cleaning, the covers come off and dry-clean perfectly. Avoid direct sunlight, which fades the warmest tones over time.
"I went back and forth on the size for weeks — got the swatches, measured the room three times, and finally pulled the trigger on the Big in Puente 80. It's exactly as advertised. The chaise is deep enough for an actual nap, the fabric hides cat hair beautifully, and the delivery team had it in our 3rd-floor flat in under 25 minutes."
"You can tell the moment you sit down that this is a serious frame. No creaks, no give in the wrong places, and the foam still feels firm-but-soft after eight months of two kids and a labrador. Worth every penny — and the 14-day delivery promise was actually 9 days."
"Our doorway is 76 cm and I was nervous. I called, sent measurements, and they confirmed the frame would split into two pieces. It did. Sofa is perfect, fabric is even nicer in person than the swatch suggested. The Cosy modular is next on my list."
"Knocked off a star only because the seat is firmer than I'd assumed from the swatch — that's on me, not them. Two months in it's softened nicely and I genuinely look forward to sitting on it after work. Build quality is exceptional for the price."
