Blackburn Sofa Store Designer Sofas Shoppers Guide
If you are shopping for a sofa in Blackburn and you want a better choice of designer styles in leather and fabric, this page is your practical starting point. SofaMax is a Lancashire based designer sofa outlet showroom in Accrington, with many models available in stock, so Blackburn customers can compare comfort, size, and layout in person before choosing.
Sofas and ranges popular with Blackburn homes
Sofas. From clean modern lines to deeper, more relaxed lounge comfort, choose the seat feel first, then the size that fits your room and access.
Corner sofas. Great for families and open plan living, but only when the facing direction and footprint are measured properly.
Designer sofas. Open base styling, contemporary legs, and modern silhouettes that suit newer Blackburn interiors as well as period homes with larger rooms.
Leather sofas. A strong choice for busy households when you choose the right leather finish for your lifestyle and stick to a simple care routine.
Reclining sofas. Ideal when you want everyday comfort, head support, and a more relaxed seating position, especially with powered functions.
Natuzzi. If you are comparing Natuzzi ranges, focus on the specific model, covering specification, and comfort tier, then confirm the exact piece you are buying.
What to consider before you buy
Room measurement. Measure width, depth, and the walkways around the sofa. For corner groups, measure both walls and the depth into the room, then tape the footprint on the floor.
Facing direction. Corners and chaise sofas are the number one source of mistakes. Decide whether you need left hand or right hand facing based on how you enter the room and where the TV and main walkway sit.
Access for delivery. Measure door widths, hallway pinch points, stair turns, and any tight angles. Modular designs can solve access issues, but confirm the section sizes.
Comfort and support. Sit as you would at home, feet on the floor, then test a relaxed position. If you prefer firmer support, look for seat constructions designed to hold shape. If you prefer softer lounge comfort, check that you still feel supported on the lower back.
Leather or fabric. Leather is typically easier for day to day wipe down and can be very forgiving when cared for correctly. Fabric offers colour and texture variety. Match the choice to pets, children, and how you actually live.
Recliner clearances. Some recliners need space behind the sofa, while others glide forward. Always check how far the footrest extends and whether the sofa moves forward when reclining.
Why visit SofaMax if you are based in Blackburn
Seeing the sofa in person reduces the two most common problems shoppers face online, comfort mismatch and layout mistakes. You can check seat height, seat depth, back support, and whether headrests land correctly for you. If you are buying a corner group, you can also sanity check the footprint and confirm the facing direction before committing. For clearance and in stock items, you are choosing an exact piece, which is useful when you want confidence on colour and finish.

FAQs for Blackburn sofa shoppers
Where is the SofaMax showroom if I am coming from Blackburn
SofaMax is based in Accrington, Lancashire. Use the Directions and Contact page for the full address and contact details.
Do you have sofas that are available in stock for fast delivery
Many listings on the website are shown as in stock offers. Availability can change, so it is best to check the current listings and confirm with the showroom.
How do I choose the correct corner sofa facing direction
Stand where you enter the room, then decide which side you want the longer return to sit on. If the longer section runs along the left wall from your viewpoint, you typically want a left facing layout, and vice versa. Measuring and taping the footprint helps avoid errors.
What size corner sofa works best for an average Blackburn living room
It depends on the room shape and walkways. The most reliable method is to measure your usable wall lengths, allow space for doors and radiators, then tape the outline on the floor. If space is tight, a compact corner or a modular layout can work better than a large fixed corner.
Are leather sofas practical for families and pets
They can be very practical when you choose the right finish and keep up with light routine care. Regular dusting with a clean soft cloth helps prevent everyday grit from acting like a fine abrasive on arms, headrests, and seat fronts.
What should I check on a recliner sofa before buying
Check seat depth, lumbar support, head and neck position, and mechanism clearance. Ask whether the model needs space behind it or glides forward. Also confirm how the footrest extends relative to your coffee table position.
Can I compare brands like Natuzzi, Volante, and other designer ranges in one visit
Yes, the showroom displays multiple designer brands and layouts, which makes it easier to compare comfort, style, and proportions in one trip.
Is it worth using a buying guide before ordering a corner sofa
Yes, a short checklist can prevent expensive mistakes. Focus on measurement, facing direction, access, and recliner clearances if applicable.
If you are making a day of it in Blackburn
Witton Country Park is a straightforward add on to a SofaMax visit if you want a breather before or after the showroom. It is a large open space with easy walking routes, play areas for kids, and plenty of room to stretch your legs without committing to a long day out. It works well if you are travelling with family, or if you just want a quick reset before heading back on the road.
