About Sofalistic

Written by the company

Reducing Sofa Waste.
One Sofa at a Time.

Sofalistic is the UK’s first online marketplace dedicated to helping people buy and sell sofas nationwide. We have two core aims: to reduce the number of sofas ending up in landfill or being incinerated, and to help customers find high-quality, preloved sofas at a fraction of their original retail price.

How and why we're different

1. We save you time

We’ve made the process of buying and selling sofas easier than ever. From collection to delivery, we handle all the heavy lifting – making sure great sofas don’t go to waste.

2. We save you money

Buying a preloved sofa can save you up to 90% on premium brands. So not only are you shopping sustainably – you're also getting excellent value for money.

3. We put sustainability first

Sofalistic is where a love for stylish sofas meets a commitment to the environment. By keeping sofas in circulation and out of landfill, we help give furniture a longer life – and reduce waste in the process.

Why sell your sofa with Sofalistic?

  • Sell quickly: List your sofa in just 3 minutes and have it sold within days.
  • Free collections: Our professional two-man team will carefully collect your sofa and deliver it to its new home.
  • Easy (and free!) listing: It only takes a few minutes to list. Snap some photos, add the details, and we’ll handle the rest.
  • A seamless selling experience: We remove all the hassle. List, sell, collected, paid – it’s that simple.
  • Safe & secure: All transactions happen through our secure platform, so your address and payment details remain private.
  • Fast payments: Most payments arrive in your account the same day via Faster Payments – though it may take up to 48 hours in some cases.

How it works – Buying with Sofalistic

  1. Find your sofa: Browse your favourite brands, styles and colours – all from the comfort of your own home. When you find the one, simply add it to your basket!
  2. Buy it: Checkout securely and confidently with our Money Back Guarantee. Your payment is held safely until we've confirmed the item has been picked up.

Fantastic service

To be totally honest, it has been the best service possible. The whole experience has been fantastic, from being informed of the delivery date and time window, to the two brilliant delivery drivers who brought the sofa into my apartment and assembled it. I would definitely use again and certainly recommend them.

Poor experience with the delivery company

Sofalistic did the job well but the delivery company cancelled my delivery on the same day and rescheduled after one more week, after the dead line. I have asked for a parcial refund and they said they will contact me but they never did.

Awful customer experience, think again before using them.

Awful customer experience. Sent 3 urgent emails over a week with no reply. They cancelled the order less than 24 hours before collection was supposed to take place. Think again before you buy from here, has cost me more money and time than worth.

Reply to Sofalistic response:

Thank you for your response, however it still does not address the key issues.

I understand the 48-hour confirmation policy. The concern here is not the policy itself, but how it was applied. If my confirmation was outside the allowed timeframe, the system should not have accepted it. By allowing the confirmation to go through, it created a reasonable expectation that the sale was confirmed and proceeding.

I relied on that confirmation to arrange and pay for transportation and storage during a house move and am still continuing to pay for this as a result. Despite this, I was only informed of the cancellation less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection, which is far too late and resulted in avoidable costs.

There were also clear inconsistencies in your communication, including conflicting emails and incorrect personal details, with emails addressed to me as a different name which further contributed to the confusion.

From a consumer perspective, this raises concerns around reliance on system confirmations and the timing of key communications, particularly where financial loss is involved.

I would appreciate this being reviewed properly, including whether any compensation is appropriate given the circumstances. Failing that, I will consider escalating this matter further.

I hope you can get back to me (via one of my original emails I sent) and this can be resolved promptly and fairly.

Hi Jake,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we’re really sorry to hear you felt frustrated by this experience.

Just to clarify for context, this review relates to a listing you had as a seller on Sofalistic, rather than a purchase made through the platform.

When an item sells, we ask sellers to confirm the order within 48 hours so we can secure the booking and move things forward smoothly for both parties. If this timeframe passes without confirmation, the buyer’s payment is released from hold, as we’re unable to hold funds indefinitely without seller confirmation.

In this case, confirmation came through 4 days after the order was placed. We did reach back out to the buyer at that point, however they had already gone on to purchase an alternative item and no longer required the sofa.

We completely understand this is disappointing, especially when time and planning are involved. Our timelines are in place to keep things fair and reliable for both buyers and sellers, and these are clearly outlined throughout the process and in our communications.

We’re always here to support and guide sellers through each step, and we’d be more than happy to help with future listings to ensure everything progresses as smoothly as possible.

Best,
Marc - Co-Founder

Refused to bring sofa into room.

I’m extremely disappointed with my delivery experience.

I paid for delivery to my room of choice, including unpacking and setup, but none of this was completed. The drivers attempted to bring the sofa in once, then immediately said it wouldn’t fit. They didn’t try a different angle, didn’t turn the sofa properly, didnt remove the bulky packaging or lifting equipment attached to it and didn’t make any real effort to problem-solve.
It's like trying to put your fist into a glove - your hand does fit, if you position it properly.

Instead, they told me I would need to remove my door but didn’t even give me the opportunity to do that before deciding it was impossible. They took photos and were adamant that it would not fit.

That was completely incorrect.

The sofa did fit.

I personally managed to get one section in myself (which I absolutely should not have had to do), and the remaining, larger sections were also brought in without any issue and importantly, without needing to remove the door at all.

For the delivery fee paid, I expected a proper service and a reasonable level of effort. What I received instead was a single failed attempt and a refusal to complete the job.

I had previously been recommending Sofalistic to others, but after this experience, I wouldn’t.

Hi Sasha

I’m really sorry to be reading this and this is absolutely not the experience you should have received.

I can see that you raised a support ticket with us yesterday, and I want to reassure you that this has already been picked up by the team and is currently being reviewed. You will receive a full response shortly.

We’re taking this very seriously and are investigating internally, as well as directly with our delivery partner, to fully understand what happened here. From what you’ve described, this falls short of the level of service we expect and promise.

It goes without saying that your delivery fee will be fully refunded, and this will be confirmed in our response to your support ticket.

I also want to personally say thank you for previously recommending Sofalistic as it genuinely means a lot.

I’m really sorry we’ve let you down on this occasion, and I hope the way we handle this now helps to restore your trust and confidence in us.

Best,
Marc, Co-Founder

Hi Sinita,

We’re really sorry to hear what’s happened and we understand how upsetting and stressful this must be.

We do want to clarify that Sofalistic was not involved in this transaction.

From what you’ve described, this type of scam typically only occurs when communication is taken outside of our platform, often via WhatsApp or direct phone contact.

For the safety of our community, we have clear warnings across the site and require all users to agree to our terms before using the messaging feature.

These explicitly state that conversations must remain on the platform and that personal details (such as phone numbers, videos, or photos shared externally) should never be exchanged. This is exactly to prevent situations like this.

Unfortunately, once communication moves off-platform, we’re unable to protect or monitor the interaction, and it becomes much easier for scammers to operate.

We strongly recommend reporting this to Action Fraud using the details and number you have, alongside your bank (which you’ve already done — that’s the right step). We have also flagged this phishing attempt on our side and are happy to assist further if needed.

We’re really sorry you’ve had this experience, and we are happy to help however we can.

Best,
Marc - Co-Founder

Ordered the sofa

Ordered the sofa, received a delivery date, received a delivery time slot, driver called when near by.
Sofa was very well protected during transit and carefully delivered and unwrapped and assembled.
Everything was clockwork and very well done.

Such a great service

Such a great service! I have been looking for a second hand sofa for a while but couldn't find one I liked. Then I found sofalistic. Managed to find a beautiful sofa - perfect for the decor of the room but without having to spend a fortune. Delivery was exactly as stated - within the dates I'd requested and with a call to let me know the delivery window. The sofa came wrapped up and well-cared-for and the delivery guys brought it to the room, set it up and took all the packaging away. I am very pleased with the service and with the sofa itself - it looks as if new!

Brilliant service

Really easy process from start to finish. Sofa is absolutely fantastic, looks like new at a fraction of the cost. Exactly as described. Organising the delivery was easy and the delivery team kept us updated as to arrival time, put it where we wanted it and were really friendly. Would definitely use again rather than buying new both for the money saving and the landfill prevention

Great communication

Great communication. Sofa was in brilliant condition and as described. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that I feel the delivery cost was quite high, but otherwise really great.

Great sofa, great service, great price!

Had a great experience using sofalistic. The sofa itself was in brilliant condition and exactly as described.
After purchasing the sofa, we chose a delivery window. We received an email confirming the sofa had been collected from the seller, and a few days later had a phone call organising a delivery day. The sofa was delivered right on time. The delivery drivers put the sofas where we wanted them and unpacked them for us.
Overall brilliant service. Really happy with our new sofa, and for a great price too.

The sofa I received was in great shape…

The sofa I received was in great shape and the delivery very convenient, although quite expensive.
It's a great service overall but I am a bit baffled by a couple things.
Supposedly, they should have arranged the parking themselves, but apparently they didn't, so the delivery and assembly of my sofa was a bit rushed because the drivers were afraid to get a ticket.
Also, I was notified that the delivery time would be between 2-5pm, but on the day they came at 11:30.

Carly at Sofalistic was so very helpful with my queries and helped find a solution to some delivery issues- she worked above and beyond and I am so grateful as many companies won't take the time to listen to customers. Thank you!
