Excellent customer service today
Excellent customer service today. Pearl was incredibly helpful and patient with us while we picked our new sofa, and showed us some cheaper options for fabric for a foot stool. Ally the manager was warm and friendly while paying. All around a wonderful experience while buying our lovely new loaf sofa!

Hi Emily,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Pearl was so helpful and patient while you chose your new sofa, and that she could guide you through fabric options for the footstool as well. It’s also lovely to know Ally made you feel so welcome at checkout. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to them both. Enjoy your beautiful new Loaf sofa, we hope it brings you many years of comfort!

Soft Scoop Linen Seat Cushions
A spacious showroom and really good to actually see the cushions and to be able to sit on a display cushion.
Sample pieces were available too, to be able to see the different colours and to take away if needed.
Excellent Customer Service from the team and so good that a separate area for young children to be able to watch a film on comfy seats and with some popcorn too!
Really pleased with our cushions.

Really helpful staff
I went to Loaf Islington to view a table I’d seen online. I’m so glad I did because I realised that it wasn’t right for us.
I had excellent, non-pressured but helpful service by a member of staff in the Islington shack. He helped me to visualise how we would use a table, and think through which size was right for us. I didn’t order anything that day, but the experience gave me the confidence to place an order a few days later.

Gorgeous, well equipped stores and lovely service!
We visited the Loaf store in Angel, Islington. We found the customer service to be just as you want it, not invasive but still existent. Geri the customer service agent was very friendly and was there just at the right time that we needed to start engaging with someone. On our sofa shopping journey we have had the two opposites where no one talks to you at all and there’s no willingness to help and the contrary where the staff don’t leave you alone and can be intimidating, so the Loaf experience was very welcomed. The store is well equipped with self-service samples, swatches, measuring tapes and even water bottles, popcorn and chocolate bars. The purchasing process is really laid back, with the staff guiding you through the need to knows, and the quote is provided by email so you can walk away and think about it if that’s what you want. Quotation and payment was seamless and we can’t wait to receive our new gorgeous sofa!

Hi Joe.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback.
We’re thrilled to hear that your experience at the Loaf Angel store hit the perfect balance of friendly, helpful, and never intrusive. Geri sounds like she provided just the right level of support, and it’s wonderful that our self-service tools and little touches, like popcorn and chocolate, added to your visit. We’re glad the purchasing process felt relaxed and seamless, and we hope your new sofa brings you lots of comfort and enjoyment once it arrives.

Quality doesn't match the price, and support communication is inefficient.
I ordered the Double Stripey Wool Rug and the Squishblocks Modular Sofa from Loaf a few months back, and was very disappointed by the quality of the materials, specially due to their price point. The sofa was as comfortable as an Ikea sofa - except Loaf's sofa is £3k and an Ikea sofa goes for ~£500. I frankly don't understand how they justify their prices. The rug (£445) never really lay flat, and it got dusty really fast - plus it looked and felt incredibly cheap, so I don't understand how or why they price it so high. Again, you can get better quality rugs at Ikea for a much lower price point.
Not only are Loaf's stuff super overpriced for the actual quality, but communication with support is super messy. Although Loaf's support agents are lovely and clearly doing the best with what they're given, phone lines are hard to get through and emails keep getting passed through to different agents, meaning you often have to repeat information over and over again.
When I returned my sofa and rug, it took them a month to come pick it up and, when they did come, they didn't have enough space in their van for the sofa, so the delivery company just left and never called me back. Mind you, at that point, I had been waiting on a £3k refund for over a month. I called their delivery company who then forwarded me to Loaf and it was only after crying on the phone that I got a refund, but it still took a few chases to rebook collection. They were supposed to come on the 19th but instead showed up on the 16th without any prior notice. I was lucky that my neighbour was able to let them in as I was in the office at that time.
Loaf has good branding and that's it - what they are actually selling is not worth the price, and given how much you spend with them, they have a terrible support infrastructure. For the brand, I'd say to improve your support software (They use Dixa - which anyone who has worked in support/tech will tell you is horrendous), improve resourcing, and be more realistic with your prices (or make the quality of what your selling match your price).

Hi Samara
Thank you for your review,
I’m really sorry about your experience and how disappointing this has been shopping with us. This is not the level of quality or service we aim to provide, and I'm sorry that we let you down
We've now requested more information via Trustpilot, if you can reply back to the information request so that we can get this sorted for you.
Warm regards,

Total family experience
It was honestly one of the best shopping experiences I have had with kids in tow. Sofas are such a considered and expensive purchase and it was great that they were fully occupied with all the free food/ drinks and the movie theatre and colouring station!

Hi Natasha,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback.
I understand that choosing a sofa is a big and important decision, especially with kids. So it’s lovely to hear that the experience felt relaxed and enjoyable for you. I’m really glad the children were able to stay happily occupied with the food, drinks, movie theatre, and colouring station while you had the time and space to properly explore your options. Creating a welcoming, family friendly environment is something we truly care about and it means a lot to know it made a difference to your visit.
We hope you enjoy your new sofa for many years to come.
Kind regards,
Manny.

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your feedback.
I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive the wrong configuration, especially after requesting the flat-packed version.
Your original order was placed on 08/10/25, at a time when that sofa was only available in the flat-packed option. Since then, we’ve introduced both flat-packed and standard versions. However, because the product name did not change when the options were updated, this led to your sofa being produced as the standard version rather than the flat-packed one.
I can see a colleague has already explained that our suppliers are operating at full capacity, so we’re unfortunately unable to expedite any replacement orders before Christmas. The current lead time remains January.
Please rest assured that if anything changes, we will update you right away. We’re very sorry for the error that occurred and the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
Paris
