Sofa and Upholstery Auctions

What's in our sofa and upholstery auctions

Our online sofa and upholstery collection has a range of sofa sets, accessories to dress and style your sofas in the way you want. Stock can include ex-retail, ex-display, customer returns and used pieces, so please check the lot listing before you bid.

Leather sofas and Italian leather suite auctions

Bid on leather sofas, including armchairs, two- and three-seat suites, and larger corner sofas. We get a range of colours and frame types, including modern and traditional frames, with Italian leather suites appearing regularly alongside high street leather ranges. Material, colour and any markings are as stated in the description, so check the lot page and photos for the grade and finish. These sit well next to the wider furniture auctions if you are furnishing a full room.

Velvet and fabric sofa auctions

Take a look at our velvet and woven fabric sofas, in three-seater, two-seater and snuggle configurations. Our sofa auction stock varies in colour, so check the description for details. Where a lot is a power recliner or has reclining action, that is noted in the description rather than assumed. Pair an upholstered piece with rugs and carpets or finishing touches from home decor.

Corner groups and modular sofa auctions

Find Corner groups, L-shaped sofas and modular seating in both complete sets and individual modules. Layout, orientation (left or right-hand facing) and the number of pieces are shown on the lot page, so check the description and photos to confirm the configuration before bidding. Larger corner groups are collection lots given their size.

Sofa beds and easy chair auctions

Sofa beds make sensible companions to a bedroom refresh, while occasional and accent chairs work as standalone seating anywhere in the home.

• Sofa bed: You can often find sofa beds in our auction, with velvet, fabric and leather frames coming through in two- and three-seater sizes.
• Easy chair: Bid on Easy chairs, armchairs, accent chairs, tub chairs and recliners as standalone seats and as parts of suites.

Incomplete sets and project auctions

Some lots are listed as assorted pieces or incomplete sets, such as individual modules from a larger group or mixed designer pieces sold together. These are well suited to upholsterers, refurbishers and anyone after frames or parts for a project. The lot title and description state clearly when a lot is incomplete or sold as assorted pieces, so read both before bidding.

Who buys at our sofa and upholstery auctions?

Our online sofa and upholstery auctions offer direct access to commercial clearance and retail overstock without requiring a business or trade account. Anyone can register a free account and start bidding immediately.

Our sofa and upholstery auctions regularly serve:

• Landlords furnishing rentals
• Buyers who are looking to decorate their living space or guest rooms below the high-street price
• Trade buyers, including upholsterers and furniture refurbishers

Single lots suit individual buyers, while assorted and incomplete lots tend to appeal to the trade.

Sofa and upholstery auction collection options

Sofas, suites and corner groups are large items and are collection only. The collection location and any postal or courier availability are shown on each individual lot page rather than applied across the category, so check the lot you are bidding on. Bring suitable transport and help with loading for larger pieces.

Viewings are available and recommended so you can inspect lots in person before bidding, with viewing details shown on each lot page.

Buyer’s premium and VAT apply on top of the final hammer price. Current rates are displayed clearly on every lot page so you know your total costs upfront.
