Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bespoke sofa cost?
Because every bespoke sofa we make is completely unique to you, pricing varies based on your specific choices. The size you need, the style you prefer, and the fabric you select all play a part in the final cost. We have thousands of fabrics available, from our own house collection through to well-known designer brands, and each comes with different price points. You can choose anything from our curated range to a fabric you've sourced yourself, which gives you real control over your budget.
The construction itself is consistent across all our pieces: solid beech frames that are glued, screwed and dowelled, with hand-clipped serpentine springs and expert upholstery throughout. That quality is reflected in our 25-year structural guarantee. The cushion fillings you choose, from foam options through to feather and down, will also affect the overall cost. To give you an accurate price, we need to understand exactly what you're looking for. That's why we ask you to visit our Hampshire showroom, where our team can talk through your requirements and provide a detailed quotation.
There's no pressure - just a proper conversation about what you need and what's possible. Once you've seen the range, felt the quality for yourself, and discussed your specific needs, we'll give you clear pricing based on your choices.
What are the benefits of owning a handmade sofa?
When you choose a handmade sofa from us, you're getting furniture that's built to last generations rather than years. Each piece is crafted by a single skilled upholsterer who works on it from start to finish, taking personal responsibility for its quality and finish. That individual attention means we can spot and avoid any flaws in the fabric or materials, something mass production simply can't offer. Our solid beech frames are hand-built in our Hampshire workshops, with every joint glued, screwed and dowelled for strength, and we back this with a 25-year structural guarantee. The springs are hand-clipped by master upholsterers, and fabrics are carefully cut and matched by hand to ensure patterns align perfectly and any weaving faults are avoided.
Beyond the quality, there's the fit. We visit your home to take precise measurements and check access, so your sofa arrives exactly right for your space. You're not limited to standard sizes or finishes. Everything from dimensions to fabric to cushion fillings can be tailored to suit you. The arms, feet, back cushion style, and even the firmness of the seat can all be customised specifically for you, built properly by experienced craftsmen who genuinely care about their work, in workshops right behind our showroom.
What types of furniture do we build from scratch?
We build a complete range of seating furniture in our Hampshire workshops, all handmade to order. This includes sofas in various styles, from traditional high-backed designs with wings and lumbar support through to modern, contemporary pieces with clean lines and lower backs.
We make corner groups that can be configured to your exact space and requirements, with chaise ends that can sit on either side depending on your room layout. Our armchair range matches our sofa collections, so you can create a coordinated look or mix styles as you prefer. We also build sofa beds with fully sprung mattresses for when you need the flexibility of guest sleeping space. Each range we offer, whether it's the traditional Knowle, the popular Eaton with its detailed finishing, or the contemporary Portsmouth with its square styling, can be made in any size to suit your room. You can choose your preferred arm style, feet finish, back cushion type, and seat firmness across all ranges.
Beyond seating, our team hand sews curtains using fabrics from our extensive collection of over 10,000 options, and we offer a full measure, make and fitting service with multiple pleat styles available. We also provide re-upholstery for existing furniture, using the same traditional techniques and quality materials as our new pieces. Everything is made on-site by experienced craftsmen, so whether you need a single armchair or a complete suite with matching curtains, it's all handled in our own workshops.
