We are delighted with our sofa

We are delighted with our sofa from Slow Sofas and have no hesitation in recommending them. They offered us an enormous range of fabrics and created a bespoke sofa for us so we got exactly what we wanted. They were very patient in talking through the options and checked back when there was the odd query in the production stage. The appearance of the sofa is flawless and it is very comfortable. We’re now asking them to upholster for of our chairs etc to match!

Was looking for fire retardant chemical free sofas. Slow delivered a comfortable product to spec, great and personal customer service, and reasonable price for foam free materials. Slow but delivered on time and worth the wait. Feels like a small company that cares.

I love my bespoke "Wharfe" sofa!

I love my bespoke "Wharfe" sofa! It is extremely comfortable!

It is so rare these days to find people that actually care about the quality of their work.
From every angle of this purchase, the team at Slow Sofa have proven that they care about the quality of their work. They quickly and thoughtfully answered over 30 of my emails, including discussing my sitting room layout through the diagram I sent, and cautioning me about my fabric choice (Linen / Cotton) just to make sure I was aware of the slight downside to it. Throughout the process, I felt truly taken care of from start to finish. The delivery was also seemless; showing up on time, and getting it into my flat without any bother. Simon took time to explain all the components of my new sofa.
Most importantly, they look out for Mother Earth.
I highly recommend Slow Sofa!

Rosemary's Sofa

I contacted Slow as I was looking for an extra special sofa for my new home. I was attracted by the company's ethos of sustainability, locality, and personal service.
The beautifully crafted sofa has exceeded my expectations, with sumptuous fabric, deep cushions and perfect styling enhancing my living space.

Slow hand craft beautiful sofas in a caring, environmentally-friendly way. No chemicals, no glues, no needless fire retardant compounds – just natural wool linings to provide protection. And the sofas are properly comfortable, using natural latex, feather and down for the cushions. Best of all: the personal service is second to none. We've bought several pieces of furniture from Slow. If you want hand-built quality and long-lasting sofas as natural as they get, Slow is for you.

The seat collapsed within six months and replacement cushions failed too—very poor quality.

Hi Linaria,

We’ve reviewed our records and don’t have any order under your name or contact details. We’ve asked Trustpilot to investigate, as this review doesn’t match any of our customers.

All of our sofas come with a lifetime guarantee and are built using traditional hardwood frames. Unlike most high street brands, our cushions use natural latex rather than foam. The construction we use simply doesn’t allow for a seat to collapse, and our latex core cushions are designed to last far longer than conventional foam or feather alternatives.

If you’re looking for a sofa that won’t collapse, and cushions that will last for decades, please get in touch at info@slowsofa.co.uk. As this review appears to have been left in error, we kindly ask that you contact Trustpilot to have it corrected or removed.

Best,
The Slow Team
