Slow Reviews 

Absolutely fantastic sofa, just what we wanted! The whole process was excellent, they really engaged with us on what we wanted when it came to materials, working with us to find the best material for us (we were being quite picky!). Delivery was also excellent, they were prompt and worked well navigating into the room. The sofa is really comfortable and we love it. Would highly recommend.

This completely non-toxic sofa arrived today. It’s everything I’d hoped for — fits the space perfectly and is incredibly comfy. Simon and his team delivered it personally. They were really friendly and showed me how the inner wool cushions are made to avoid toxic flame retardant chemicals. This is a sofa that will last and Slow are clearly a company committed to sustainable hand crafted living. I can’t recommend these guys enough.

Absolutely amazing product AND service - truly professional. We purchased a sofabed from Slow last year - not only healthy and well made - but stunningly gorgeous and truly comfortable as both a sofa and a bed. Recently we needed to move the sofa to another room recently - it didn’t fit! Simon responded to my pleas immediately and dropped by after another London delivery to help us figure out what could be done. He calculated the most minimal intervention (removing one bit of trim around a door) and patiently waited until our builder popped by to do the removal, and then expertly manoeuvred the sofa to its new home. Now that’s what I call truly 5 stars.

We had the most excellent sofa reupholstery experience with Slow from start to finish.

We had a bespoke three-seater sofa originally made for our family, but it had been lying unused for over a decade and was in very poor condition when we rediscovered it. After researching different companies, we came across Slow and were immediately drawn to their use of natural materials and their beautiful design approach.

Simon from Slow was incredibly helpful from the very first point of contact. He was always responsive, engaged, and immediately understood our ideas and aesthetic. He sent us several fabric samples, carefully considered all our requirements, and guided us through the whole process with great care and attention.

We were also delighted that Slow organised both collection and delivery all the way from Devon to Yorkshire and back, which made the entire experience feel effortless.

Simon helped us decide on the best design direction and offered several thoughtful options for the sofa arms, cushions, legs, and other details. We really appreciated this collaborative co-design approach.

The final result was beyond anything we expected. We genuinely could not believe that our totally worn-out, 30+ year old sofa could be transformed into something that looks so elegant, modern, and beautifully made.

Having this sofa in our home now brings us so much aesthetic joy and comfort. It was worth every pound we spent.

Thank you so much to Simon and the whole Slow team.

Wow - talk about excellent quality, professionalism and customer service. From the start, I was taken care of by Simon and the Slow team as I navigated the uncharted waters of custom sofas. I was impressed by the value for money - comparable UK-made bespoke sofas are much more inflated (and snobby from my experience). From measurements to materials to color to delivery, I was given white glove service and it was also really enjoyable learning about the care attention Slow gives to their trade. The end product was gorgeous and comfortable and environmentally friendly.

We are delighted with our sofa from Slow Sofas and have no hesitation in recommending them. They offered us an enormous range of fabrics and created a bespoke sofa for us so we got exactly what we wanted. They were very patient in talking through the options and checked back when there was the odd query in the production stage. The appearance of the sofa is flawless and it is very comfortable. We’re now asking them to upholster for of our chairs etc to match!

Was looking for fire retardant chemical free sofas. Slow delivered a comfortable product to spec, great and personal customer service, and reasonable price for foam free materials. Slow but delivered on time and worth the wait. Feels like a small company that cares.

I love my bespoke "Wharfe" sofa! It is extremely comfortable!

It is so rare these days to find people that actually care about the quality of their work.
From every angle of this purchase, the team at Slow Sofa have proven that they care about the quality of their work. They quickly and thoughtfully answered over 30 of my emails, including discussing my sitting room layout through the diagram I sent, and cautioning me about my fabric choice (Linen / Cotton) just to make sure I was aware of the slight downside to it. Throughout the process, I felt truly taken care of from start to finish. The delivery was also seemless; showing up on time, and getting it into my flat without any bother. Simon took time to explain all the components of my new sofa.
Most importantly, they look out for Mother Earth.
I highly recommend Slow Sofa!

I contacted Slow as I was looking for an extra special sofa for my new home. I was attracted by the company's ethos of sustainability, locality, and personal service.
The beautifully crafted sofa has exceeded my expectations, with sumptuous fabric, deep cushions and perfect styling enhancing my living space.

Slow hand craft beautiful sofas in a caring, environmentally-friendly way. No chemicals, no glues, no needless fire retardant compounds – just natural wool linings to provide protection. And the sofas are properly comfortable, using natural latex, feather and down for the cushions. Best of all: the personal service is second to none. We've bought several pieces of furniture from Slow. If you want hand-built quality and long-lasting sofas as natural as they get, Slow is for you.

The seat collapsed within six months and replacement cushions failed too—very poor quality.
