About Us
Sofa So Good is the place to go for custom and off the floor sofas. Customers enjoy being able to select traditional and contemporary furniture with the help of Sofa So Good’s Sofa Experts.
Paul, Barbara and their team enjoy helping people on a daily basis find “furniture for life”.
“Your sofa should be your haven within your sanctuary. Live every day like it’s the weekend. Find the things that make you happy and put them in your well dressed home that reflects who you are and what you love”, says Barbara.
Paul continues “Choose from an eclectic array of comfortable upholstery that easily fits into casual, traditional, transitional, or urban rooms. The price is equally comfortable. Bring us your room measurements and any important colours or fabrics and we will help you co-ordinate your rooms”.
Sofa So Good will go the extra mile for their customers. “If you are sitting on the floor and need a sofa quick, we usually have lots of stock available or take advantage of our free loaner sofa, yours to use while you wait for the sofa of your dreams to be custom made,” adds Barbara.
With a larger showroom, Sofa So Good has an even greater fabric selection and has been able to add a rugs, lamps, mirrors, tables, throws, and accessories to the mix.
