The Tignes electric sofa — our bestseller
The Tignes is one of our most popular sofas, and it’s easy to see why: it combines an electric extending seat, a fold-out bed and generous, modern proportions in one piece. Upholstered in a soft, hard-wearing Aphrodite chenille velvet as part of the Sofas & Friends collection and available to buy online at Sofas & Friends, the straight sofa is a roomy 302 cm wide with decorative quilting on the seats, making choosing easier when size and finish need to suit your living space. It’s finished in fabric on the back too, so you can stand it free in the middle of an open-plan room rather than against a wall for a perfect layout. Choose a straight sofa, a left- or right-hand corner with storage, or a matching armchair to furnish the whole room in one look.
Electric extending seats, cable-free
Each Tignes seat extends independently on a quiet electric motor, and the design pairs modern aesthetics with clean lines and refined detailing, so everyone can set their own position. On the straight sofa the seat depth lets you adjust through three settings — 59, 79 and 103 cm — allowing an upright, classic seat or a deeper half-recline; on the corner the seat glides out by up to 27 cm. Add our optional wireless rechargeable battery pack and the sofa runs completely cable-free — no wires across the floor to a socket, so you can place it anywhere, even free-standing in the middle of a mid- to high-end living room, and recharge the pack every few weeks. Choose a straight sofa or corner configuration based on the room layout, so the fit feels practical and perfect for a mid- to high-end domestic environment.
A fold-out bed for guests
Both the straight Tignes and the corner convert into a bed, using an easy, quick electric fold-out system rather than a heavy manual mechanism. The straight sofa opens to a flat, comfortable sleeping area of 125 × 237 cm — a genuine spare bed for overnight guests, not a thin fold-out — so the Tignes works as an everyday sofa and a guest room in one.
Built for lasting comfort
Tignes seats are built on wavy (serpentine) springs and high-resilience (HR) foam, which give it a springy, supportive feel that resists sagging and keeps its shape through years of daily use. The frame is solid — pine wood, MDF and plywood — and the seats and backs are layered with foam and wadding for softness on top of that support. It’s comfort designed to last, backed by our lifetime structural guarantee.
Hard-wearing Aphrodite velvet — and pet-friendly
The Tignes is upholstered in Aphrodite, a chenille velvet with a soft nap that catches the light for a subtle touch of glamour. It’s built for real life: rated to 100,000 rubs on the Martindale test, with top pilling resistance (4–5) and colours that stay true to light and rubbing. It’s also more resistant to scratches from pet claws than most velvets, and easy to clean with gentle products — so it suits busy homes with children and pets. Available in the colours shown on each product page.
Corner sofa with hidden storage
The Tignes corner sofa adds a practical storage container in the short arm — ideal for bedding, throws and spare cushions — while keeping the same electric extending seat and fold-out bed. Choose left- or right-hand to suit the way your room is laid out, and measure your space carefully so you can find the best fit.
Five colours and a matching armchair
Tignes comes in five colours — Black, Olive, Mocha, Rabbit and Ivory — so you can go bold or keep it neutral, and you can add the matching Tignes armchair to complete the set. Every option is shown on its own product page with the exact colour.
Delivery, finance & guarantee
Most Tignes configurations are delivered in around 14 days, depending on stock — you’ll see the estimate on each product page. Every frame is covered by our lifetime structural guarantee, and you can spread the cost with 0% finance through Snap Finance. Compare it with the rest of our electric sofas, electric sofa beds and corner sofas.
