Benny's Verdict

Loaf genuinely made sofa shopping fun, and for that alone they deserve a medal. Their 'Shacks' are brilliant — you actually want to spend time there, which is more than I can say for most furniture shops. The sofas themselves are properly comfy and have real personality. Refreshing bunch.

Fun showrooms, comfy sofas, real personality
