Ours are 15 years old and from Laura Ashley.
Visit one of their sales and try a few out. LA often sell ex-display furniture off at a decent price.
The covers are washable too and apart from fading, still look great.
We bought three sofas from DFS, all on offer at £299 each. I'll second the above about the protection, it is crap.
I have two boys aged 5 & 3 they have spilt stuff, pee'd on them, been sick etc had a hells own job keeping them clean, DFS sent their technician round after I'd taken two cushions back to the shop and kicked off about the marks.
They wouldn't admit any fault so I told them I would be bringing my boys to the shop with drink and chocolate, they called my bluff, so I took them in with chocolate covered hands and faces and drinks bottles. I then announced to the first sales person who came near me what I was about to unleash on their displays. They went into panic mode, called the police, after a little argument and me insisting that they should have confidence in their products that they'd sold me. The one policeman actually said that I had a point but asked me to take the boys out of the store and got the store manager to agree to clean ours and re coat the cushions. They still stain but I made a point.
They are surprisingly well made for something so cheap though.
