Electric sofas are the ultimate way to rev up cosy levels in your home.
Just one click of a button and you’re whisked away to a world of euphoria, turning your living room into your own private sanctuary.
What Is An Electric Extendable Sofa?
Simply put, electric extendable sofas are the ultimate upgrade for your living room. With just a single press of a button, these sofas smoothly glide open to elevate your legs or fully transform into a comfortable bed, allowing you to switch from sitting to sleeping in seconds.
Turn your sofa into one that can accommodate more guests, or for added comfort during a film night.
Benefits Of An Electric Sofa
Effortless comfort
The motorised adjustment is there for you any time you need it. Whether it’s to reduce strain on the neck or put your feet up after a long day in the office, an electric sofa will always be there for you.
Versitility
Maximising space is one of the key benefits of an electric sofa, as it allows you to turn your sofa into a bed-like haven or chaise lounge – perfect for multi-use spaces and guest rooms.
Modern aesthetic
Made from luxurious, yet durable fabrics, you can trust your new electric sofa will fit seamlessly into your interior, blending comfort and versatility.
Quick and easy functions
No matter your age (or your guest’s), the easy manoeuvres make for simple operation for all ages and abilities.
Fabric finishes to suit all
Not only do the electric sofas from Sofas and Friends look great, but they are also highly durable and baby-safe, so you don’t have to worry about harmful substances in your home. The water-blocking properties also hold for easy maintenance, giving you peace of mind and a place to sit for years to come.

How To Choose The Right Electric Sofa For You
Access to your room
Make sure to measure the width, depth, and height of the space where you plan to place your electric sofa. And, don’t forget about the additional space needed for full extension.
Think about placement too. Will it be butted up against a wall, in an open-plan space, or part of a modular arrangement?
Configuration
A 2- or 3-seater is better for smaller spaces, guest rooms, or additions to dressing rooms or kitchens. A U-shaped or corner electric sofa is better for larger spaces, more guests, and entertaining.
Consider the long-term when making your decision.
Some of our electric sofas feature secret storage components – hide emergency blankets for nights in, spare wires you don’t want on display, or children’s toys that need a quick tidy-away.
Match style and décor
If you’re a lover of all things neutral or don’t want a sofa to clash with the rest of your soft furnishings and wall colours, an ivory or beige sofa is the perfect choice.
Graphite or olive shades tend to provide more of a statement look, adding depth and contrast to your living space.
Ask yourself – Do you see yourself loving the colour and design in the future?
Care And Maintenance Of Electric Sofas
Being so durable, our sofa selection is easy to keep looking brand new.
However, there are a few things you can do to help maintain its appearance, including:

- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to keep the fabric fresh and in top condition

- Don’t force the motor if it feels stuck
- Keep liquids away from the motor and other electrical components
- Avoid unecessary use
- Keep the pet’s claws trimmed and sharp objects away from the fabric to prevent tears or scratches
- Do not sit or stand on the sofa arms
