In the market for a new sofa? Forget hours in a showroom, now you can order your dream couch at the click of a button. Making life even easier, how about a sofa in a box? A sofa that comes delivered in handy, carry-able boxes. Which is a godsend for those living in high-rise flats or with tiny hallways. Say goodbye to shimmying a sofa up the stairs! Here's everything you need to know about buying a sofa in a box including the best places to buy one…
Why should I buy a sofa in a box?
- If you need to get your sofa up or down the stairs to get it to your desired location, then you should definitely consider a sofa in a box, which can easily be transported.
- If you're a renter and could be moving frequently, having a sofa in a box will make the whole relocation process so much easier.
- If you're in a hurry and don't want to wait for your sofa to be made at a factory, a sofa in a box could be a speedy solution.

Clever sofas from Swyft are the epitome of ease, but they don’t compromise on style either.

Their new Model 03 design looks and feels like sitting on a cloud.

What's even more mind-blowing is the fact that you can get next-day delivery, which means you don’t have to order your dream sofa and then wait a full moon or five for it to be made. You just click and it can be with you the very next day!
The easy assemble videos make it look like a doddle, and it really is that easy. You don’t need any tools and the pieces just slot together like magic.
With any new sofa, it's completely normal to be paranoid about the slightest spillage (clumsy uncles we are looking at you) but fear not, as the clever stain-resistant technology will mean any messes just dab right out. Even red wine!
