We initially had a bad experience with our bed order. The initial delivery service said they didn’t have enough time to assemble the bed and we were delivered two mismatched bases.
This was eventually resolved and the second delivery crew direct from Loaf were excellent ( Ben and Kayman)

Thanks, Tia!

Tia spent a lot of time showing us sofas to our specifications. She knows the range very well, so was able to answer all our questions off the cuff. She could not have been more helpful.
Later, we did have some annoying problems setting up the finance plan, but that was a glitch in the finance provider's software, not Loaf's.

FADED AFTER 3 MONTHS!!!

We bought a sofa at the end of last year and were very happy with it on arrival. I even provided a 5 star review.

Within 3 months the sofa had dramatically faded. After many months of arguing that the fabric is not fit for purpose Loaf have declined to do anything about it. We spent £2500 on a sofa that looked nice for 3 months. They explained that ALL sofas will fade if in a room with a window and so if you intend to buy a sofa for a room with a window I wouldn’t bother!

Thank you for your feedback. I completely understand your disappointment regarding the fading of your fabric. Unfortunately, it is true that all fabrics will fade to some extent when exposed to direct sunlight, and this summer has seen exceptionally hot and consistent weather, which can exacerbate the issue.
If you have any further questions or if there’s anything else I can assist you with, please do let me know.

Staff were very helpful

Staff were very helpful. The store was inviting and a pleasure to look around. One sofa we would have liked to have seen wasn't in store but that did not detract too much from the overall very positive experience. We went with one sofa in mind but ended up ordering one we had not considered as we found it to be a better fit for our room.

It's great to know that even though one sofa you were interested in wasn't available, it didn't detract from your overall experience. We're thrilled that you found a sofa that was a better fit for your room, and we hope it brings you much joy in your home.

Avoid Loaf of something goes wrong

We purchased a Loaf Smithy sofa in March 2026 and reported an issue within just four months of delivery. From day one, the seat cushions continually moved and slipped out of position during normal use, making the sofa uncomfortable and requiring constant adjustment.

What has been most disappointing is not simply the issue itself, but Loaf's handling of the complaint. The explanation for rejecting our claim changed several times. Initially we were told the problem was due to "wear and tear", despite the sofa being only four months old and lightly used. We were then told the issue was caused by the way scatter cushions were being used, even though the problem occurs regardless of whether scatter cushions are used. Finally, Loaf's position became that the issue was due to the "natural settlement" of the feather and fibre fillings.

Despite repeatedly asking how natural settlement of cushion fillings could cause the cushions themselves to slip and move excessively during normal use, no satisfactory explanation or evidence was provided.

Loaf arranged an independent technician visit, but the conclusions relayed to us in writing did not appear consistent with what was discussed during the inspection. The company has ultimately refused to offer any remedy and has directed us to The Furniture Ombudsman.

I appreciate that furniture can have characteristics associated with its design and fillings, but I would have expected a sofa costing this amount to remain comfortable and functional without constant adjustment after only a few months. More importantly, I would have expected a clearer and more consistent approach to customer service when concerns were raised.

Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Loaf and have now referred the matter to The Furniture Ombudsman for independent review.

Thank you for the Feedback. I am sorry you've had issues with your Smithy sofa and that your exeperience with our customer care left you feeling dissapointed. We do appoint an independant third party to assess our sofas, as we need an impartial report, as the report couldn't find any manufacturing issues we can't find a way to fix this for you. It is frustrating for you and we do appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Regards Loaf

Fantastic experience.

Great website - really clear to look at the different options visually and wonderful to have all colours and materials for all sofas. We ordered online but we did go to a store to sit on the sofas which was essential for us. The store was incredibly good! They had all the samples, you could sit on all the sofas, it was dog friendly and they gave us treats (and our dog). The staff were helpful but also left us in peace. Highly recommended. The sofas were just much better than all the others we've tried (and we've sat on many!)

Thank you John and Damo!

John and Damo from loaf brigade delivered my loan sofa today and they were fantastic. No faults, Very friendly and helpful with the delivery and installation! Communication was top notch. From delivery time and arrival to actually getting the sofa in the front door and unpacking it in my lounge!

I would love for them to come back to install my ordered sofa once it is ready.
