We want to be as transparent as possible about what is inside our sofas. Which includes the springs.
Most modern sofas use zig-zag or serpentine springs, that are cheap to produce and quick to install. Over time, they sag, stiffen, and quietly give up on you.
We don’t do shortcuts.
Inside our sofas you’ll find full, hand-tied eight-way springs, the traditional gold standard of upholstery. Each spring is tied by hand in eight different directions, which takes serious time and skill… but the result?
Proper bounce for bum, that will be comfy for the whole of your life.
It’s not the fastest way to build a sofa. But it is the best way. And when your bum hits that perfect, buoyant sit, you’ll know exactly why we bothered.
We’re a small team on a mission to change the sofa industry, bringing back craftsmanship, one bounce at a time. ✨

Hi we’re Schplendid and we want to take a moment to introduce ourselves. We’re changing the sofa industry on our not-so-quiet rebellion against the modern disposable sofa.
We are fed up that only the super wealthy can afford well-made sofas - the kind that last a lifetime. The rest of us? We’re stuck with cheap, planet-poisoning materials that barely last 5-10 years before they end up in landfill.
We saw what was happening: mass-produced furniture tossed away, beautiful craftsmanship priced out of reach, and so much waste in between.
So, we’ve changed things up. We ditched the shiny showrooms, the huge markups, and the corporate nonsense - and put every penny into what really matters: your sofa
Each Schplendid sofa is traditionally made; all natural materials, 8-way hand-tied springs, solid beech frames and 80% down cushions. They are built to last (we guarantee it, literally), and designed with honesty at their core. We’re a lean, mean sofa-making team - passionate about quality, obsessed with comfort, and committed to making sofas that don’t cost the earth. 💛
We’re bringing beautiful, fantastically made sofas that last to as many people as possible.
No plastic. No nasties. No nonsense. Just incredible sofas at ridiculously reasonable prices, for real people, built for life.
💛 No gimmicks. No waste. Just incredible, honest sofas — for real people, built for life.
Shout out to Tom (our latest team member) for putting this together. We think he smashed it.

The Wee Bonnie in Off-Off white.
Good for all sizes.
This has to be one of our comfiest sofas! But just wait for the Big Bonnie…

We’ve only gone and made the Vesper better than ever - finally you’ll be able to enjoy all the comfort in modular form.
From the eight-way hand-tied springs to the down cushions covered in all natural fabrics, it truly is one of our most comfortable sofas.

If you’re the sort who doesn’t just “sit” on a sofa…
You sprawl, curl up, disappear into it for a few hours…
The Vesper will feel like home very quickly.
This Vesper is in Pinot velvet
🤤

We’re all aware of the fast-fashion problem and the impact its having on our environment and the quality of our clothing.
but somehow the sofa industry keeps flying under the radar 👀
Cheap materials. Trend cycles measured in months. Furniture designed to be replaced, not repaired.
When a sofa costs less than a phone, it’s not a “good deal” - it’s a warning sign 🚨
Millions of sofas end up in landfill every year, all so we can keep up with whatever shade of beige is trending.
And the industry keeps calling it “accessible.”
We refuse to play that game. So we’ve changed 2 fundamental things to the way we make sofas.
We make sofas that are built to last a lifetime - and we guarantee it. 💪🛋️
And when they do eventually reach the end of their life (in 100 years), they’re filled with natural materials designed to return to nature 🌿♻️ - not sit in landfill forever.

Thank you everyone who nominated someone special for the free competitors sofa. There was one idea that came up again and again and it was sending it to a women’s refuge in London.
One charity that came up with @furnishingfutures . They support women and children who’ve left abusive situations and been placed in social housing. Unfortunately 98% of the time this comes unfurnished.
If you want more information on them or how you can support head to their instagram.

When Mum tries out your new sofa…
WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW SOFA!! What do you think?? We are completely in love.
If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that finding our perfect sofa has been a loooonnnnggggg process..5 years to be exact! I’m the most indecisive person and I had quite a tick list for a sofa:
🤌🏼Comfy enough that you sink into it but it’s supportive
🤌🏼L shape or foot stool
🤌🏼 All four of us needed to fit on comfortably at the same time
🤌🏼 A colour that was beautiful, practical and that wouldn’t get fed up with.
🤌🏼 with as little plastics as possible
Drum roll….. @schplendidsofas have the most beautifully made, comfy sofa’s with an incredible company ethos. All made with natural fibres that are sustainably sourced and hand on my heart the comfiest sofa I have ever ever sat on.
Our model is: Wee Bonnie two seater with footstall in Chinchilla velvet.
Cannot recommend @schplendidsofas enough. AD.
How many people can we fit on this armchair?
Is it the biggest armchair you’ve ever seen?
…Probably.
It is huge. And SO comfy!!
It is the Big Bonnie armchair in Deep Forest.
It is best for one ( I think), but conveniently, should the occasion arrive, you can fit 4. Now that is cool.
#SoBig #CanItFitMore? #Probably. #Comfort 🤤
“Will this sofa suit my height?” On the Lenny Sofa. (3-Seat in Plaster)
It’s one of the most common questions we get, and a fair one.
So instead of guessing, we lined a few of us up (from 5’3” to 6’5”) and put it to the test.
Turns out, comfort isn’t one-size-fits-all, but a well-made sofa gets pretty close.

Customer service used to mean helping customers.
Now it means:
→ chatbot loops
→ 47-step help centres
→ “we’ll get back to you shortly”
→ being customer #28473 in a queue
→ explaining your problem 6 different times
→ companies making themselves impossible to contact
Somewhere along the way, businesses decided accessibility was a cost instead of the whole point.
So we did something apparently revolutionary:
we answer the phone.
A real person.
Straight away.
Who actually helps.
Funny how basic human communication became a competitive advantage.
