Whenever you make the decision to buy something, from the smallest impulse buy to larger considered purchases, such as a sofa bed, you have the choice to buy in many different ways.  You can buy direct from the manufacturer, from a retailer or from a distributor and that is before we even get into online and offline purchases!

Although all three options can offer different advantages and experiences, we believe that buying direct from the manufacturer, like www.sofabed.co.uk, offers you the greatest benefits. When you buy direct there is every chance you will get a better product at a better price. So when it is time to buy a sofabed we think that there are at least 6 reasons to consider buying direct from www.sofabed.co.uk.

• There is no middle-man involved when you buy direct. Online retailers, distributors and high street shops have numerous expenses that they pass on to the customer. Buildings, employees, advertising and transport all need to be paid for. These extra costs inevitably get incorporated into the end price. At sofabed.co.uk we have no partner retailers to pay we have a factory and a website, that’s it. This means our costs, and our prices are always low.
• When you order an item from the manufacturer, there are a lot less companies involved in its distribution meaning it is much more likely to get to you in top condition. At sofabed.co.uk we either deliver ourselves or via our online carrier. Either way it is a 2 man
• Product miles are a key issue for the whole planet and buying local has never been more important than it is right now. When you buy from a local manufacturer you know that your new sofabed has not been shipped around the world. The sofabed only need to be transported from the factory to your house.
• As you are buying direct from the manufacturer your product is made to order to your specification. With sofabed.co.uk you choose the style of sofabed, the fabric, the mattress, if you want arm caps, how many scatter cushions you want and even if you want an extra wide sofabed.  It truly is your sofabed your way.
• Buying British makes sense. co.uk is a true British manufacturer.  We have 2 factories one in Cheshire and one in Staffordshire.  We buy all our raw materials such as wood, foam, fibre and fabric from UK based businesses. So as well as helping to support the British staff we employ, you are helping to support the staff in our supply chain.
• When you buy from a retailer that sources its products from overseas there is a huge time lag between order and delivery.  Also should there be any issues with your order it take an age to rectify.  When you buy direct from a small manufacturer you can be assure of a quick turn around.  At www.sofabed.co.uk we manufacture and deliver our sofabeds in only 28 days.  Also should there be an issue we try to remedy the situation straight away.

So there you have it 6 great reasons to buy direct from the manufacturer.
