Lovely sofa. However, various things went wrong: late delivery, torn sofa. Customer service very unhelpful and slow, and not at all sorry for all the problems.

Great customer service
We were met by incredibly amiable and helpful assistants. We knew what we wanted so the transaction was swift and professional. We were even offered tea cakes!
We went to the Bristol branch which had a comprehensive stock of Loaf’s offerings.
We are very much looking forward to our Delivery of the Dunkin seat in a few weeks time.

Sofa purchase - Bristol
Went to the Bristol store to try out sofas and look at fabrics and colours. Staff were really helpful. Great balance between being informative and letting us have time to look around. Not at all pushy and gave advice based on our circumstances not just the most expensive option!
We took swatches home, and after making a final decision on colour ordered on website which was really straight forward

So many feathers!
We purchased a bear hug sofa, which was a significant purchase.
We explained that we were wary of feather filled sofas because of a past experience, and were told that the sofa cushions would be ok. Total rubbish!
Every day we have to do a clean sweep of our lounge, removing probably 20-30 feathers a day to leave a clean lounge and sofa.
When we getup we have to check each other to make sure that no feathers have found their way from the sofa to our clothes.
I would not buy this again!

Reply from Loaf - Bristol
Hi Neil,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
I’m truly sorry to hear that your Bear Hug Sofa hasn’t lived up to your expectations.
To explain a little further: the cushions are carefully designed using a blend of responsibly sourced duck feathers, supportive foam and soft fibre made from recycled sources. This combination is intended to provide the right balance of comfort, durability and sustainability, with the feathers giving a relaxed, sink-in feel, the foam core offering structure and support and the recycled fibre adding extra softness while reducing environmental impact.
That said, the degree of shedding can sometimes feel more noticeable depending on the fabric you selected for your sofa. Fabrics with a looser or thinner weave can occasionally allow feathers to protrude more visibly, whereas tighter weaves may mask this to a greater extent.
I really appreciate you highlighting your experience, as it helps us better understand where we can improve both in terms of our product design and how we set expectations with our customers.
If the shedding continues to feel excessive, please don’t hesitate to let us know and we will be in touch.
Warm regards,
Paris

Visited the store today with the intention of purchasing a sofa that sadly wasn't on display. However, I've managed to choose another that will perfectly fit my space. Heidi was extremely polite and helpful and made the purchase very easy. Will be back once sofa arrives for scatter cushions

Heidi was super helpful in finding us the right sofa, and she was also great at entertaining our young daughter so we could try out the sofas. She suggested something we hadn’t considered and we loved it so we have had a successful trip and can’t wait for our new sofa to arrive!
