Cheap sofas are available all over the UK but it helps to know where to find the cheapest sofa deals. Sofas can be bought over the internet, but it really does help if you can visit a shop first to sit on the cheap sofa of your choice and know that it is comfortable.

Find cheap sofas at IKEA. I know it’s probably the first place many of you thought anyway, but IKEA have good quality furniture at prices that strip chunks off other furniture sofas. IKEA is also great for cheap leather sofas.

Sofa Workshop is another good place to find a cheap sofa and cheap leather sofas. Be careful though that the cushions are well filled. We had a sofa workshop sofa and the seat cushions were fibre-filled rather than foam and fiber. After a year we had to replace them.

They are constantly advertising on TV, but dfs do seem to be a great place to get a really cheap sofa. Only a limited range visible on their website – best to visit the shop for a cheap sofa we think.

Habitat for cheap sofas – Great quality, cutting edge design and not outrageously expensive. Habitat is a good bet if you are looking for a cheap sofa.

If you are not worried about having a used sofa or armchair then you can get some great cheap sofa deals through the classifieds. Try Craigslist and find your local area then search for a sofa or armchair. Similarly for UK users, Gumtree is another excellent site for cheap used sofas.

If cheap just isn’t cheap enough then try out Freecycle and see if anyone near you is giving a sofa away free. With these classifieds websites, often you’ll have to provide the transportation for your new sofa and armchairs. Check out your local paper for a “man with van” or hire one locally for a couple of hours to go and pick up the sofa.
