Bouclé sofas are centre stage at the moment when it comes to homeware additions. They're the perfect combination of cosy and chic, making them the perfect staple for any home, whether you live in a traditional townhouse or a countryside cottage. They're some of the best sofas around.
Don't just take our word for it, though. Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is an advocate of the Bouclé sofa, making her not only a hair, skin and style inspiration but also one of interior space. The model took to Instagram to share a photo of her lying on a cream bouclé sofa, legs crossed, eyes shut, dressed head-to-toe in white to match her pristine sectional.
We'd argue they're the sofa of the season, wouldn't you?

Bouclé (which is French for curly) refers to the fabric made from looped yarn, resulting in a unique texture which lies somewhere in between a soft fleece and teddy bear fabric. It adds a sense of cosiness to your space, balancing more rigid, contemporary aspects of your interiors to create that perfect Scandi aesthetic. Forget the cold feel of leather or stain-prone cotton, bouclé is an easy-to-maintain material that'll elevate your home in a matter of seconds.

How can you tell if a sofa is good quality?
The sofa's upholstery, frame, and fill will provide insight into its quality. We recommend opting for sofa frames made from hardwood with frame joints that have been glued, dowelled and screwed properly. In terms of fill, high-quality foam or feather is the best way to go for a comfy feel. Finally, fabrics such as cotton, linen and will are the most durable options. Retailers like John Lewis' sofas are rigorously tested and last for 10 or 15 years as a guarantee.
How long should a sofa last?
With proper maintenance, a high-quality sofa should last anywhere between seven and 15 years.
