June 2024 · 2 minute read

Swyft Model 03 Large 3-Seater Sofa, from £2,320, John Lewis

Specifications:

  • Different sizes available? Modular sofa with anything from single modules to a sofa set of 2-5 modules + armrests.
  • Measurements: 71 x 254 x 92cm for 3-seater.
  • Filling(s): Foam and fibre filling.
  • Upholstery options: 4 to choose from.
  • The lead time is… 2 weeks.
  • Other matching items in range? A footstool.
  • Average customer rating: N/A.
  • Best for? The perfect sofa if you're in need of space-saving packaging. Swyft sofas arrive in boxes small enough to fit up staircases and through narrow entryways.

    • Why we love it: Clean lines are the name of the game with this sectional sofa from Swyft. Contemporary, modern and luxe, it's designed to help you be in control. Seriously — you can decide the composition at almost every stage, from whether you want two seats or ten, a left or right corner, to laze with or without a foot stool! Every decision is in your hands.

    Pros: Because none of the modules are physically locked together, you can move them around easily and transform your space. Plus, each module has rubber feet to stop them from moving.

    Cons: In my experience with Swyft's no-tools assembly, this does mean that the modules have a bit of wiggle room once assembled, so they'll need a nudge back together from time to time to maintain a straight and aesthetic alignment.

    Customers are saying: N/A.

    GLAMOUR tested review: Having conducted a Swyft sofa review in my tight one-bedroom flat, I'm now quite the aficionado on the brand's ‘sofa-in-a-box’ USP. The quality of the modules is second to none and I can honestly say, after months of plonking down on my own, the sofa's plushness remains just as it was the day it arrived. The velvet is spectacularly soft, it was oh-so-easy to assemble on my own (I, quite literally, told my partner to leave the room) and the finished look is like something straight out of a show home. Top marks, Swyft.

    GLAMOUR star rating: 4.75/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
