What to do if you'd like to place an order
SLOWE Living is designed for people who value longevity, natural materials, and thoughtful design over fast trends or disposable furniture. Our pieces are handcrafted, made to order, and designed to last for decades.
If you’re looking for the cheapest option, instant delivery, or furniture you plan to replace in a few years, we may not be the right fit. If you want something you’ll live with, sleep on, and grow into over time, you’re in the right place.
Our sofa beds are designed to be genuinely comfortable to sleep on, not just “good for a sofa bed.” When opened, they create a flat, supportive sleeping surface without bars, gaps, or springs.
For regular guest use or part-time everyday sleeping, many customers find them comparable to a good-quality bed. Like any bed, comfort is personal - some people choose to add a mattress topper for extra softness, which works well with our design.
Because we use real hardwoods and natural finishes, subtle changes over time are part of the material’s character. You may notice gentle patina or slight colour shifts as the piece ages.
These are not faults, they’re signs of a material that’s meant to be used and enjoyed. Many customers find their furniture becomes more beautiful the longer they live with it.
Yes - Our furniture is built for real homes and everyday use.
For homes with children or pets, we recommend choosing darker colours or tightly woven fabrics, which are more forgiving. Scratches, spills, and wear are a part of life, and we’re always happy to advise on the best options for your situation before you order.
The seat and mattress cushions combine high-resilient and hyper-soft foam for a breathable, supportive sleep surface. Upholstery fabrics are durable to over 100,000 Martindale rubs, with removable, machine-washable covers for easy care.
All foams and fabrics meet UK fire safety standards (BS5852 Part 1 and Crib 5 compliant) and are made from polyether polyurethane foam with a 100% polyester composition.
The frame is crafted from FSC-certified European birch plywood with a protective lacquered finish, ensuring both structural strength and responsible sourcing.
Every SLOWE sofa is handmade in England using FSC-certified birch plywood, highly durable fabrics, and non-toxic finishes and is built for lasting comfort and longevity.
We don’t use MDF or particle board — only durable, traceable materials built to last.
Our goal is to combine honest construction with beautiful, sustainable design.
The transition from sofa to bed is simple and intuitive.
Just remove the cushions, pull the seat section forward, and fold down the backrest to reveal a full-size double bed.
No heavy lifting or mechanical parts — it’s designed for everyday use and effortless movement.
Yes. One of the advantages of UK-made, modular furniture is that it can often be repaired rather than replaced. If something wears out, gets damaged, or needs updating, contact us and we’ll advise on the best solution.
This approach reduces waste and helps your furniture last as long as possible.
Yes, you can book an appointment at our London showroom or arrange a virtual viewing.
We’ll walk you through the design, fabrics, and mechanism in real time, so you can see exactly how it works before you order.
Yes. Each mattress section is made from high-density cold foam and layered for both support and softness.
It’s comfortable enough for daily sleeping or long-term guests — many of our customers use it as their main bed.
The generous depth and proportions are designed for real comfort, not compromise.
We make everything to order to avoid waste and overproduction. This allows us to focus on quality rather than volume and ensures each piece is crafted specifically for you.
While this means a longer lead time than off-the-shelf furniture, it also means better materials, better craftsmanship, and furniture designed to last far beyond current trends.
Yes - slightly, and this is completely normal. Our cushions are made from high-quality foams designed to relax rather than collapse. Over time, they’ll soften a little and settle into a more lived-in feel while maintaining their structure.
Occasional fluffing and rotation will keep them looking and feeling their best, but they’re designed for everyday living, not constant fussing.
Our sofa beds sit in the medium-firm range. They’re designed to be supportive rather than overly soft, which helps prevent sagging and ensures long-term comfort.
This balance works well for both sitting through long movies and a good nights sleep. If you prefer an ultra-soft mattress, adding a topper is a simple way to tailor the feel to your preference.
Only minimal assembly is needed. Each sofa arrives flat-packed for ease of transport and access through narrow hallways or staircases.
You simply slot and secure the birch plywood panels together using our precision joinery system — no tools required.
Assembly is simple — all you need are a 6mm and 8mm Allen key to secure the precision joinery.
The modular frame can be assembled, disassembled, and reassembled multiple times without wear or damage.
Everything is designed to fit perfectly, so you can have your sofa ready within minutes.

Each piece is built slowly, by hand, in England — from traceable materials designed to last decades, not years.
