Best sofas with guaranteed Christmas delivery
Anyone hosting Christmas is familiar with that surge of panic as you realise just how much crockery, cutlery, glassware and bedding you need to cover everyone. And let's not even mention the dreaded Big Shop. Seating's another real source of stress, particularly when you twig it's only 48 days until Christmas and most sofas take 12-16 weeks to arrive...
Fortunately, there's still time to sort all of the above - sofa included. We've found the best options that will arrive before Christmas, if you get a wiggle on and commit to one.
From John Lewis to Marks & Spencer, and Sofology, Swyft and Loaf, scroll down for last-minute seating inspiration to comfortably house all of your loved ones this Christmas and for many, many festive seasons and family gatherings to come.
