Sofa Showrooms in Manchester

15 showrooms from 14 brands

Manchester's 15 showrooms across 14 brands give it the strongest top-end coverage of any northern city, which is a fact local sofa-shoppers don't shout about loudly enough. Roche Bobois Manchester on Great Ancoats Street at 121-125 — the same street as Timothy Oulton Manchester at number 140 — gives the Northern Quarter a luxury double-act you won't find in Leeds or Liverpool. The Trafford Centre area is the volume hub: John Lewis Trafford Centre, Natuzzi Italia at Trafford Palazzo on Barton Square, and Dunelm Trafford Retail Park on Trafford Way all in one trip. White City Retail Park on Chester Road in Stretford bundles Furniture Village Manchester at M16 0RP, Natuzzi Editions Manchester at Unit 9, Oak Furnitureland at Unit 10, ScS Manchester, and Sofology Manchester under what's essentially a one-stop sofa park. King Street in the city centre houses BoConcept Manchester at M2 4LQ for the Scandi end, and Sofas & Stuff have a city showroom at 40 Dearmans Place on The Bridge — strong British craftsmanship within walking distance of Deansgate. The Chesterfield Company at Newbury House, Ford Lane in Salford handles the buttoned-leather specialists for anyone after the proper deep-buttoned look. Castlemore Retail Park hosts DFS Manchester at Throstles Green for the budget end, and IKEA's out at Wellington Road, Ashton-under-Lyne for the Allen-key crowd. Practical reality: the Trafford Centre car parks are mercifully huge and free, but the M60 around it grinds during weekends and school holidays. The Metrolink from town gets you to MediaCity but not the Trafford Centre directly — drive or get the bus. Northern Quarter parking is paid, but Roche Bobois and Timothy Oulton are walkable from town. Two luxury showrooms, three high-end, four mid-high — proper breadth for the North West's furniture capital. Manchester doesn't do things by halves.

Benny's Local Tip

“The Trafford Centre and the Great Northern showrooms have you covered. Manchester doesn't do things by halves, and that includes furniture shopping. Allow extra time — you'll find more than you expected.”
