Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder for the first time or treating your home to a much-needed refresh for the new year, purchasing one of the best sofas is a great place to start. Of course, your bar cart, cosy rug, and coffee table will be the cherries atop your lounge’s cake, but a sofa is the heart of the home, and somewhere you’re likely to spend a lot of time.
Your sofa plays a big role in your daily life — whether it’s hosting movie nights, doubling as a WFH spot, or accommodating overnight guests. Comfort is non-negotiable, but shopping for the right one can feel overwhelming. Before you part with your money, you’ll want to get familiar with the furniture you’re taking home and, be it boucle, a supportive sofa bed or both, we’ve ensured that each and every item in our curated edit will be a worthwhile investment.
To make your big-ticket purchase easier, we’ve sifted through countless online furniture stores, read hundreds of reviews and even tested several models ourselves — both at home and in showrooms. So, without further ado, here’s our picks of the very best sofas for 2025, in every size, fabric and configuration to suit your space.

How we tested
To make it onto this whittled down list, each sofa was subjected to some pretty rigorous research. As well as aesthetics, everything from comfort and materials, to customer service and reviews were scrutinised. We’ve had hands-on testing experience both at home and in store showrooms (ahem, John Lewis) and we’re more than happy to give these fifteen final picks our GLAMOUR seal of approval.
