About this 2 seater sofas

HOMCOM 170cm Oversized 2 Seater Sofa in Light Grey

The HOMCOM 170cm Oversized 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 corduroy in light grey. Corduroy has a ribbed pile that looks warm and textured, hides everyday marks better than a smooth weave and feels soft against bare arms. It is one of the most popular living-room upholstery choices in the UK right now.

The seat is foam-filled, which is what gives a sofa its shape and spring back through years of sitting. Springs underneath the padding add support and stop the seat feeling like a block of foam. Raised wooden legs keep the sofa off the floor, which makes the room feel more open and makes cleaning underneath easy. With a listed seat depth of 55cm and a seat height of 45cm, you get a balanced seat that works for both sitting up and relaxing back. The listing gives a maximum load of 240kg, so it can take regular family use.

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. Grey is the colour most UK living rooms are built around, which makes light grey easy to pair with rugs, curtains and wall colours you already own.

Width is listed at 170cm. The listed dimensions are 170 x 80 x 82 cm; always measure your own space against the specification table as well. It is listed as 2 seater. It arrives needing some assembly, with the fixings and instructions included. 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. Choose it for a small living room, a bedroom seating corner or a study where a three-seater would dominate.

Care guide

How to care for your light grey corduroy two-seater sofa

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

1. Vacuum with the ribsOnce a week, run a soft upholstery brush attachment along the length of the ribs rather than across them. This lifts dust and crumbs out of the grooves without flattening the pile.
2. Blot spills, never rubPress a clean, dry cloth onto a spill straight away to lift it. Rubbing drives liquid down into the ribs and can leave a shiny, flattened patch.
3. Spot clean carefullyFor a mark that blotting has not shifted, use a cloth barely dampened with mild soapy water, test a hidden corner first, and let it dry naturally rather than with a hairdryer.
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.
