The item we got was great and for a really good price. The minor downside is the variance on delivery time; you can select a day, and they'll inform you the evening before of a timeslot spanning a few... See more

About Sofalistic
Written by the company
Reducing Sofa Waste.
One Sofa at a Time.
Sofalistic is the UK’s first online marketplace dedicated to helping people buy and sell sofas nationwide. We have two core aims: to reduce the number of sofas ending up in landfill or being incinerated, and to help customers find high-quality, preloved sofas at a fraction of their original retail price.
How and why we're different
1. We save you time
We’ve made the process of buying and selling sofas easier than ever. From collection to delivery, we handle all the heavy lifting – making sure great sofas don’t go to waste.
2. We save you money
Buying a preloved sofa can save you up to 90% on premium brands. So not only are you shopping sustainably – you're also getting excellent value for money.
3. We put sustainability first
Sofalistic is where a love for stylish sofas meets a commitment to the environment. By keeping sofas in circulation and out of landfill, we help give furniture a longer life – and reduce waste in the process.

Great company to buy from - recomended.
The item was well described, in great condition when received and the delivery team were helpful in terms of getting the sofa set up in the chosen room.
My only slight grumble would be the time between placing the order and receiving the item.
Excellent service
I’d not heard of Sofalistic before - a friend of mine recommended it and I was dubious at first. But after browsing, the range, descriptions and quality of sofas really impressed me. I took my time deciding which one I wanted, and their excellent messaging service meant that I could ask as many questions as necessary to ensure I was happy to purchase. I found a v good sofa, in excellent condition and barely used for 1/3 price of it new. After I bought it I found the delivery process v easy. The sofa arrived exactly on time and they delivered it to the room and constructed it in minutes. I can’t fault the entire Sofalistic service! Thank you.
Brilliant and stress free
Brilliant and stress free, definitely a positive experience and so easy. Much easier than selling on Facebook for example.
I can't recommend this company
I really can't recommend this company. I bought a sofa for £500. Was told it would be delivered by end of January. This did not happen and I had to chase at every stage to try and get a resolution. The sofa delivery company they work with are very poor, the person I spoke to interrupted me constantly. It was finally delivered on the 11th of February but the sofa is sagging significantly and has marks. I have raised this issue with Sofalistic and they have refunded me the delivery costs and a further £129 for the inconvenience caused however even with these amounts of money it was not worth the hassle and stress. I would recommend going elsewhere as their customer service is not there.
No communication
Our sofas got sold nearly 2 weeks ago, they got collected 5 days ago and we haven't heard from the company at all, now on the 12th of March and still no communication.
Almost too good to be true
I wasn't sure about this site at first, but the Trustpilot reviews convinced me. We sold our sofa and ottoman in just a couple of weeks with Sofalistic, after unsuccessful attempts on all the other well known marketplaces. The experience couldn't have been easier or more convenient. The professional pickup and delivery service, combined with the electronic transfer of payment between buyer and seller, make Sofalistic a no-brainer. I've recommended to several friends already.
Sofa was as listed

Was a little nervous about ordering like this for the first time but no need. The sofa was exactly as detailed. Feels like getting a brand new sofa but for a fraction of the cost. I would 100% recommend.
A fantastic experience from start to…
A fantastic experience from start to finish. Sofalistic kept me up to date throughout and the delivery team were absolutely lovely.
Fantastic service
Fantastic service. One of our sofas sold within a week. Excellent communication between Sofalistic and ourselves and in alerting us of questions from possible buyers. Men arrived as arranged to collect our sofa and were very professional and helpful and packed sofa very well covering in plastic bag.
Knowing that communications between buyers and sellers are via Sofalistic only is very important.
Highly recommend!
Great experience using this company. Just received my payment and everything went smoothly. Once the sofa had sold, i confirmed the date it could go to the new owner and it was collected by a professional team who wrapped it all up. Really easy to use website and will defo be using them again if i decide to sell my new one. Highly recommend.
Blooming brilliant company!
This is the 2nd time I've used Sofalistic to sell quality items which deserve a good home, which gives me a bit of extra cash and the new owner a great item to add to their home.
The process is simple and customer service is excellent. I would definitely recommend Sofalistic as a selling platform or if you're wanting to buy preloved furniture. It's a great way to recycle quality items which means everyone involved benefits... 5star 😀
Buyer beware!
The process of buying a second hand sofa was straightforward, the delivery guys were very courteous and helpful when delivering the sofa, all that was 5 star. I have given three stars because the 'tan leather sofa costing over £2k when new' was obviously faux leather, which was a disappointment. I accepted the buyers description, the photos made it look good, but I was caught out. I would suggest you ask all the relevant questions before committing and save the dialogue just in case you need to make a claim.
terrible communication
Impossible to get hold of once your order falls outside of the normal system. No one answers the phone and when I raised a dispute, the initial mail was responded to with a standard response and we have had no further responses since despite mailing and calling every day.
Fantastic company to deal with
Really impressed!
Really impressed. Sold my sofa quickly and other than a slight delay in my collection time on the day (had excellent communication from the team so I was aware), everything went really smoothly and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again. I’m so pleased I found this site, it is a great concept and well executed.
Excellent way to sell your sofa!
I recently sold my sofa through Sofalistic and the whole process was excellent. The platform was really easy to navigate, communication was smooth, and everything felt simple and hassle-free. It’s also great to know my sofa has gone to a new home rather than ending up in landfill. Highly recommend!
Highly recomended.
Highly recomended.
It was very easy to list the furniture.
A suitable collection date was given and the driver arrived within the time zone and they securely packaged it up in the van.
We where notified how much of the selling price we would recieve if sold and we were very pleasantly supprised considering all the work was done for us.
It was sold, and we were paid out when the buyer had received the items and was satisfied.
We ARE using Soferlistic again.

I sold my sofa through Sofalistic and…
I sold my sofa through Sofalistic and the collection process was smooth. The item was collected on 28 January and delivered to the buyer on 12 February.
At the time of writing my initial review, I had not received confirmation of delivery completion or a clear payment release date, and communication felt limited.
Update: Payment has now been received and the transaction has been completed successfully. While clearer and more proactive communication around payment timelines would have been appreciated, I thank the team for resolving the matter.
No update on sofa order
I ordered a sofa on 1st of Feb, I was informed it was collected on 9th of Feb and I would hear about a delivery date within 48 hours. It is now 13th of Feb and I have still had no contact from the service about the sofa. I have raised two tickets and had no response.
It is frustrating to not have any communication, or any phone number to contact. I'm currently a lot of money out of pocket and so far have no update if or when I will recieve the sofa I bought almost two weeks ago.
