Quality sofas and furniture
Investing in a new piece of furniture for your home can be a worrying process. Will it be of the quality you expect when it arrives? How do you know it will last? To help put our customers at ease, we go that extra mile to source, test and audit all the furniture we sell, to ensure they are of consistent quality, strength, and durability.
We do our research, so you don’t have to
Every sofa, bed, mattress and piece of furniture for sale at DFS has been through our rigorous checks, to ensure it meets our standards for quality, durability and safety.
The first sofa company to be awarded the British Standard Kitemark™
DFS is the first sofa retailer and manufacturer to hold the domestic furniture BSI Kitemark for all sofas, sofa beds & recliners, sold both online and instore.
The BSI kitemark - recognising trust, safety and quality
If you see the BSI certification, you know that our products have been tested to highest standards and comply with three core standards:
Factory process control
Expert BSI auditors assess manufacturing facilities, including outsourced processes, to ensure products are consistently of the right quality and durability
Sample product testing
Technical review
BSI review all technical files, test reports and test certificates to validate that our products have been tested to the correct standards by accredited laboratories
The National Bed Federation
The National Bed Federation (or the NBF) sets the standards for ethics, transparency, and responsibility in the bed industry. They’re a bit like the Red Tractor symbol on your eggs, or the Fair Trade logo on your favourite chocolate, but for UK beds and mattresses.
From supporting our customers to find their perfect beds and mattresses, to collaborating with our suppliers to create great value products – we're really proud of our contributions to the UK's bed and mattress industry. We’re chuffed that the NBF continues to recognise our hard work, naming us finalists for the National Bed Retailer of the Year Award three years in a row – and winners in 2024!
Our NBF approved brands
We’re proud to stock the very best that the UK bed and mattress industry has to offer. From luxury and orthopaedic approved mattresses, to affordable kids mattresses that support their growth - when you shop with an NBF approved bed or mattress brand, you can be sure you’re making the right choice.
