Bravich Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa: comfortable two-seater seating without the bulk

About this 2 seater sofas

Bravich Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa in Cream, 160cm

The Bravich Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa is a two-seater designed for the rooms where a full-length sofa would swallow the floor: flats, bedrooms, home offices, conservatories and snug second sitting rooms. It is upholstered in velvet in cream. Velvet has a dense, soft pile that catches the light and gives a room a more finished, upholstered look. It rewards a little regular care and feels noticeably plusher than a flat weave.

The seat is foam-filled, which is what gives a sofa its shape and spring back through years of sitting. Button or tufted detailing on the back gives it a more traditional, tailored look. With a listed seat depth of 57cm and a seat height of 48cm, you get a balanced seat that works for both sitting up and relaxing back. Maximum load is listed at 200kg.

Two-seater sofas like this one are chosen for comfort first: the cushioning, the seat depth and the upholstery matter more than any single extra, and the specification table sets out the details for this model.

Because it is compact it is also easy to move, reposition or take with you to the next home, which makes it a sensible purchase in a rented property. A light colour like cream makes a room feel larger and brighter, though pale upholstery shows marks sooner than a darker one, so it is worth planning for a throw or two.

The listing quotes a width of 160cm. The listed dimensions are 160 x 90 x 78 cm; always measure your own space against the specification table as well. It is listed as 2 seater. Expect to do a little assembly; instructions and fixings are supplied. Before ordering, check the space it will sit in and the route it takes to get there: front door, hallway, stairs and turns.

Colours always look a little different on screen than in a living room, so judge the shade against the listed colour name and the photos together. It suits first homes, rented flats, spare rooms and home offices, and works well as a second sofa in a larger room.

Care guide

How to care for your cream velvet two-seater sofa

A sofa is a big purchase, so a little regular care goes a long way. These steps are written for the velvet on this sofa; always check the care label on the sofa itself first and test any cleaner on a hidden patch.

1. Brush the pile weeklyUse a soft clothes brush or the upholstery attachment on low suction, moving in one direction, to keep the pile even and lift dust before it works in.
2. Blot, do not scrubDab spills with a clean white cloth straight away. Scrubbing can crush and mark velvet, and coloured cloths can transfer dye onto a pale sofa.
3. Mind sharp edgesZips, jewellery and pet claws can pull velvet. A throw over the favourite spot protects the pile where it matters most.
4. Plump and rotateGive the seat and back cushions a good plump once a week, and where cushions are loose swap their positions now and then so wear spreads evenly.
5. Keep it away from heat and strong sunRadiators, fires and a window that gets all-day sun fade and dry out upholstery. A gap from heat sources and a curtain or blind at the brightest hours keeps the colour true for longer.
6. Know when to call a professionalIf the sofa is badly stained or the label says professional cleaning only, an upholstery cleaner will know what is safe for the fabric. It costs far less than replacing the sofa, and always test any product on a hidden area first.
