Chesterfield Sofas at Simply Beds & Furniture Ltd Birmingham

The Chesterfield is the one sofa design that has never gone out of style, and for good reason. Deep button tufting, rolled arms that sit level with the back, and a low, generous seat give it a presence that modern flat-panel sofas simply do not have. At Simply Beds & Furniture we make Chesterfields to order, which means yours is built in the size, fabric and colour you choose rather than the one version a chain store decided to stock this season.

Customising a Chesterfield changes it completely. In a deep navy velvet it feels rich and contemporary. In a tan or oxblood leather-look finish it becomes the classic study sofa. In a soft grey weave it settles quietly into a modern family living room. You choose the width, from a compact two seater to a full three or four seater, pick the fabric from our showroom swatches, and decide on details like stud edging and cushion style. If you want a matching armchair or footstool, we build those to the same spec so the set actually matches.

The construction is traditional where it counts. Each button in the tufting is pulled and tied by hand into a solid timber frame, not glued into foam, which is why the pattern stays crisp instead of sagging into loose dimples after a year of family use. Seat foundations use proper springing and high-density cushioning so the sofa keeps its shape, and the upholstery fabrics are specified for wear as well as looks. A Chesterfield done cheaply looks fine in photographs and terrible in your living room eighteen months later, and that gap is exactly what buying well avoids.

This is a sofa worth sitting on before you buy, and that is the advantage of a local showroom over an online megastore. Visit us at 147 Station Road in Stechford, next to the railway station, sink into the seats and compare fabrics in real light with honest advice from the family that has run this business since 2018. We deliver free within around 10 miles of Birmingham and place the sofa in your room, we offer NHS and student discounts, flexible weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment plans, and if you bring us a genuine like-for-like quote we will beat it.

Chesterfield Sofas Questions

Plush velvets, chenilles, hard-wearing woven fabrics and leather-look finishes, in a wide colour range from classic tans and oxbloods to deep greens, blues and soft neutrals. The showroom has full-size swatches so you can judge colour and texture properly rather than guessing from a website photo.
Modern upholstery velvets are far tougher than people expect, and many are woven for high rub counts and easy spot cleaning. That said, if you have young children or pets we will talk you through the most forgiving options honestly, because we would rather you love the sofa in five years than just on delivery day.
Two seater, three seater and larger four seater widths, plus matching armchairs and footstools. Because each one is made to order we can adjust dimensions where your room needs it, for example a slightly shallower depth for a narrow lounge. Bring your measurements and we will check what fits, including access through doors and hallways.
The giveaways are the tufting and the frame. On a proper Chesterfield each button is hand-tied into a solid timber frame, so the diamond pattern stays tight for years. Cheap versions glue buttons into foam over a softwood or board frame, and the pattern slackens while the arms work loose. You can feel the difference the moment you sit down in our showroom.
It depends on the size, fabric grade and details you choose, so we price each sofa individually and give you the full figure in writing before you order. Our price match guarantee applies: bring a genuine like-for-like quote and we will beat it, and NHS and student discounts are available too.
Yes. We arrange flexible payment plans with weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments to suit your budget. Ask at the showroom and we will set out the exact payments before you commit to anything.
Handcrafted sofas typically take a few weeks depending on the fabric and spec. We give you a realistic timescale when you order and keep you updated, rather than leaving you chasing a courier tracking number that never changes.
Yes, within around 10 miles of our Birmingham showroom, and we do not just drop it at the kerb. We carry the sofa in, set it where you want it and take the packaging away. If you are a little outside the radius, call 07779 274357 and we will see what we can arrange.
Usually yes, but it is exactly the kind of thing to check before ordering rather than on delivery day. Give us your door, hallway and stair measurements and we will confirm access, and where space is genuinely tight we can look at sizing the sofa to suit.
Yes. Because we hold the details of your original spec, we can make a matching armchair or footstool afterwards in the same fabric and colour. If you think you might extend the set later, tell us at the start and we will keep a note of your fabric.
Regular light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment keeps dust out of the tufting, and rotating any loose cushions evens out wear. We give you care guidance specific to your chosen fabric on delivery, and you can always ring the showroom for advice, we are the same family you bought it from.
A well-made one is genuinely comfortable for daily use. The seat is deeper and more supportive than most people expect, and modern cushioning takes the firmness out of the traditional design without losing its shape. Sit on one in the Stechford showroom for ten minutes and you will have your answer.
