Best sofa deals to look out for ahead of Black Friday

From love seats and sofa beds to three-seaters, these are the best sofa deals ahead of Black Friday - (The Independent)

Autumn and winter evenings are made for curling up on a cosy sofa. However, if yours has seen better days, a brand-new couch won’t come cheap. That’s why savvy shoppers may want to wait until November’s Black Friday sofa deals land, as it’s often possible to save hundreds of pounds on armchairs, corner sofas, love seats, sofa beds and more during the sale.

When it comes to making big purchases for your home, Black Friday offers the perfect chance to snap up a bargain. But with so many deals out there, it can be hard to cut through the noise. That’s where we come in, as we’ll be helping you get your hands on a new sofa, from tried-and-tested brands, with the latest deals as soon as they drop.

It can be easy to get carried away during big sales events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, though. So before the sale starts, I’d suggest making a list of the top items you want (and sticking to it), to avoid buying things you don’t really need.

If you’re undecided about what kind of furniture you’re looking for, our interior experts have created a guide of the best sofas, which is a good place to start. Here, we’ll be rounding up the best sofa deals in the lead-up to Black Friday, with a wide range of options, from affordable buys to premium pieces built to last.

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday 2025 officially lands on 28 November, but this isn’t the only day you’ll see bargains. Sales will continue through the weekend to Cyber Monday (1 December).

However, each year, more and more retailers and brands kicks things off early, with some even launching their offers at the start of November. So if a new sofa is on your list, bookmark this page and check back for the best offers over the coming weeks.

What sofa deals can you expect on Black Friday?

Last year, there were big discounts on Dusk, Darlings of Chelsea and Sofa.com. Whether you’re looking for specific features such as cup holders and pull-out beds, or the perfect mid-century sofa to add to your Pinterest board, now’s the time to plan, so you know what you’re looking for when the sales drop.

While many brands haven’t announced their Black Friday sales yet, we’ve rounded up the best sofa deals available right now, as well as predictions on whether these prices will fall further.

Why you can trust us to find the best sofa deals on Black Friday

The IndyBest team has tested the best sofas, so we know which ones are comfy, stylish and durable. A sofa should be built to last, so we won’t recommend one just because it’s cheap. When there are no deals on models we’ve tried and tested, we only suggest brands and retailers we trust.

When it comes to finding the best deals, we’ve been covering Black Friday for years, so we have plenty of experience in finding a bargain. We don’t just take a retailer’s word for it when they say something’s on sale – instead, we compare historic prices to make sure we’re bringing you the very best deals.

When interiors expert Ali Howard put this model to the test in her guide to the best sofa beds, she said: “As a corner sofa, this one is cosy, sociable and super comfy – choose left- or right-hand configurations, depending on your space. As a bed, it is a dream – guests can spread out in style.” The back of the sofa comes forward and lies flat, to give you a king-size bed, while cushions can be concealed within the frame of the bed, keeping your living room free from clutter.

“Stylish and minimal, the Noah is a beautifully crafted settee that boasts generous proportions,” noted our reviewer. They added that it’s a “contemporary sofa with a relatively slimline frame that prioritises comfort in its cushioning. Medium in size, it measures up to the equivalent of a three-seater, although it boasts a single, reversible seat pad, keeping its lines pleasingly clean and fuss-free.”

This price is for the house chenille fabric, but there are discounts across different upholstery looks, including velvet, tweed and linen weaves.

Interiors expert Ali Howard said: “With its timeless design, it’s as much at home in a sleek, contemporary setting as it is mixing with mid-century furniture pieces or older antique décor.” She noted that “the sofa features clean lines and generously deep seating, scoring points on both style and comfort”. Plus, “its high-quality upholstery is available in a seriously impressive range of fabrics and colours”, lots of which now come at the reduced price.

Upholstered in soft velvet and finished with supportive cushions, if you’re after a sofa that exudes luxe for less, this could be a great option.

Ali praised the design’s solid wood plinth that’s elevated on “chic, rounded wooden legs, which awards it an elegant silhouette, while also giving the illusion of extra floor space underneath”.

Both assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones and interiors expert Ali Howard were impressed by this Darlings of Chelsea sofa – so much so, it took the top spot in their guide to the best sofas. Even better, it currently has a 35 per cent discount.

With a timeless design, deep seats and soft curves, this large sofa is both stylish and supremely comfortable. “It’s ideal for homes with a classic look, but thanks to the range of customisation options, it can work just as well in more modern or transitional spaces. This is a sofa that makes a house feel like home,” our reviewers noted.

Sarah and Ali also enjoyed how customisable the sofa is with more than 170 fabrics to choose from – think rich velvets and cosy woods – and a mountain of colour choices, from gentle neutrals to deep jewel tones.

Swyft model 02 three-seater sofa bed

When testing this sofa bed, Ali Howard said Swyft’s model 02 three-seater is a “wholly stylish affair with design roots in mid-century modern”. She added that it “boasts a wide comfy seat; firm but suitably slouchy back cushions; and a slimline frame that makes it compact enough for tight spaces. You wouldn’t know this one’s a sofa bed at all, with its uninterrupted, angular lines,” she said.

It can lie flat in seconds, as the seat cushion becomes the mattress, which Ali found comfortable both as a sofa and as a bed. The design and structure are top quality and durable, and you can choose a stain-resistant fabric to ensure it lasts even longer. It has been reduced by more than 20 per cent, saving you £500.

Sofas & Stuff Rye 2 seat sofa

“With its sloped armrests, upright back cushions and luxuriously deep seats, this is one inviting settee to dive into and curl up on,” interiors expert Ali Howard noted when testing this sofa. She added: “Contemporary in shape with just a hint of mid-century modern design (note the tapered wooden feet), it is a versatile and future-proof investment piece that won’t be going out of fashion any time soon.”

While its price tag is higher for a fairly small sofa, you can expect top-quality craftsmanship, a wealth of fabric to choose from and even a design appointment to discuss your needs.
