Chesterfield Sofa

About the Chesterfield sofa

The Chesterfield sofa carries deep buttoning across the back and rolled arms at each end. That pattern is more than decoration, because the buttons pull the upholstery tight and hold the shape for years.

The padding is foamed, so the seat keeps its height rather than collapsing into a dip. It suits a room where the sofa is the piece everyone looks at first.

Where the Chesterfield sofa suits

It suits a traditional living room, and it also works in a modern room that needs one piece with weight. If the rest of the furniture is plain, this is the sofa that keeps the room from looking empty.

Because the arms roll outwards, the seat feels wider than the frame suggests. So two people can sit at one end without touching shoulders.

Size and placement

Measure the wall first, then leave a hand’s width between the sofa and the wall for airflow. If the room has a fireplace or a television, centre the sofa opposite it. Also check that the legs clear any rug you plan to put underneath.

Care and upkeep

Then vacuum the upholstery every month with a soft brush. Because dust settles in the button folds, use a brush attachment on the low setting. Also turn the seat cushions every few weeks and keep the sofa out of direct sun.

Delivery and warranty

Orders go out from Vitafoam showrooms and distributors nationwide. We confirm your delivery window at checkout, and the box paperwork states the warranty that applies.
