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.

Easy Peasy

Really easy to use the application and site. Also you can see how many people are looking and message with potential buyers. Pick up was quick and easy. Really great status updates throughout the process. Got a reasonable price, sold in just over a week. Took away all the hassle of advertising your self

Super pleased

Helpful with issues

Updating review as issue has been resolved:
Initially we had some problems with a delivery mixup, but Sofalistic were in contact and put got the team to call us and arrange a new delivery. It was a few days late and they kindly refunded us our delivery fee which for the inconvenience which was very generous as the issue was not caused on their end. The delivery men themselves were very helpful with fitting the sofa up some awkward stairs and the sofa is just as described. We would buy through this company again, thank you for your help!

Brilliant experience from start to finish.
I was a bit sceptical to start with but everything was great. The sofa was in excellent condition, I was kept well informed throughout the process and the delivery was excellent. I can't express how efficient and friendly the delivery drivers were. Perfect!!

Such an amazing experience with this…

Such an amazing experience with this company and I was apprehensive after some reviews. Selected 2 sofas about 2 and a half weeks ago and they were delivered today by the nicest couple of men . Sofas were well wrapped and better than I’d hoped for. They were carried up a tricky flight of stairs and placed in situ for us. The only slightly frustrating part was the initial selection of a date when ordering as that’s when I presumed they would arrive but that date just allows for a window of around 11 days so it was a bit frustrating as I’m impatient.
Overall I highly recommend the company and especially the delivery men, who were very friendly and professional. Great experience and we’re very happy with our lovely sofas.

The concept of sofalistic is great but…

The concept of sofalistic is great but there are some issues with the process
Firstly it took 3 attempts to get a sofa confirmed. The first 2 I decided on, both were old listings that were no longer available. Both were cancelled with in the stated 48 hours period.
On the 3rd attempt I messaged the seller first before purchasing and this was a success. The process from there was straight forward. Collection was done on the 1st April. I was kept up to date even over the bank holiday that I would get a delivery date with in the 5 days. On the Tues I got a call to confirm a delivery date. I picked Sunday 12th. As stated the delivery company rang to confirm my delivery slot would be between 9-12 pm on the Sunday.
However I waited in all day for the delivery and it has not arrived.
I would definitely say be patient with this site as it does appear that although the buying and selling process is straight forward, the reliance on a 3rd party delivery company is letting them down on delivering on time with no communication to inform customer of the delay. I have no idea when the next delivery spot will be.

Misleading reviewes lead to fraud

As a seller my payment details as balance on my card was compromised when Isuspicions were raised and I decide to back out of the process to provid my date of birth, card number and then authorise a full balance payment which then ended up with unauthorised payments being taken from my account for various amounts leading to freezing online payments. So mislead by reviews.

Use Sofalistic to Sell Your Sofas

First time using Sofalistic and I can honestly say we had a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Website is very user friendly and they guide you through each step. We were kept informed by email from listing our sofas to after sale and receiving our payment. It could not have gone better. Very professional from the point of pickup of our sofas to delivery to the recipient. Highly recommend and would definitely use again should the need arise.

Avoid…..!!…

After paying and listing a sofa I received a strange verification request involving providing all my debit card details and then asking for my bank balance. Alarm bells ring and I cancelled my card. This company either has unnerving and overbearing verification process or it has been hacked. I sent 2 emails to Sofalistic warning them about it and/or asking for clarification. A week later, I have had no response. This company is a mess when it comes to customer service/IT security. Avoid.

Affordable sofas and fast delivery *****

A really easy way to buy a good quality sofa at the fraction of the price it would cost new. The sofa I bought looked almost new and was delivered without any fuss to my address and into the room it was to be in. Can't fault this service and it's great to know I am helping to reduce waste too.

Avoid

I received a sofa with sun damage on it and this was not listed in the advert. Trying to get hold of someone is a nightmare. I have emailed several times and heard nothing. There is no telephone number for them at all. Stay away from this company.

Frustrating…

I have sold a sofa through sofalistic and it got picked up on 25th March. Since then I have no update on the sell if it is already delivered or delayed. I have called customer care which is useless as it asks to leave a voice message but you dont get any call back. I have sent couple of emails to customer care but no response from them as well. It is so frustrating and I will never use this site to sell or buy sofa in future.
