Sofa Showrooms in Nottingham

16 showrooms from 12 brands

Nottingham's 16 showrooms cluster with admirable efficiency, mostly because they've had the sense to gravitate toward two main hubs that you can drive between in fifteen minutes. Giltbrook Retail Park up the A610 is the heavyweight: IKEA Nottingham, DFS Giltbrook at Unit 7/8, ScS Giltbrook on Ikea Way, Sofology Nottingham, and Barker & Stonehouse Nottingham at Unit 6 all share the same postcode (NG16 2RP). It's essentially a one-stop sofa supermarket — bring comfortable shoes and you can comfortably do five showrooms there in an afternoon. Castle Marina Retail Park down on Castle Boulevard handles the city-centre cluster: DFS Nottingham, Furniture Village, Fabb Furniture (now rebranded Nick Scali) at Unit 9b, and Sofas & Stuff Nottingham next door at 169 Castle Boulevard. John Lewis Nottingham sits up in the Victoria Centre for the department-store bracket, and HSL Nottingham keep a proper showroom out at Bramcote on Derby Road for the recliner and high-seat crowd. Dunelm Nottingham anchors The Portal Retail & Business Park on Queens Drive, ScS Lady Bay Retail Park covers Meadow Lane, and Oak Furnitureland sit at Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield. The wider catchment pulls in DFS Grantham and ScS Mansfield too. The price spread leans budget-to-mid — eight budget showrooms versus two mid-tier and six mid-high — which reflects Nottingham's no-nonsense Midlands approach. There's no pure luxury here; the top end is Barker & Stonehouse, which is high-end design rather than Italian-luxury territory. Practical reality: Giltbrook parking is free and plentiful — that retail park was built for retail-park visitors. The A610 from the M1 J26 funnels in nicely. Avoid weekends if you can. Robin Hood would've stolen a better sofa if he'd known what was available here.

Benny's Local Tip

“Giltbrook and Castle Marina retail parks are furniture central. Robin Hood would've stolen a better sofa if he'd known what was available here. Loads of choice, easy parking, happy days.”
