Price History
Description
An original Heal's design, the Somerset sofa is made using traditional construction methods. The seat and back rest are made using traditional springs and layers of hessian, rubberised horsehair and wool wadding, all covered in a wool-felt interlining. The 100% European Duck feather-filled cushions provide a soft and sumptuous seat. Characterised by elegant curved lines and solid wood stem feet, the Somerset armchair also has slim arms that leave plenty of room to sink into the seat. The Somerset is available in a wide selection of Heal's fabrics.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal's Somerset 3 seater for its classic yet contemporary appeal, especially with its boucle fabric which adds texture and comfort. It works really well in modern, Scandi-inspired interiors where clean lines meet cosy, tactile surfaces. The steel frame and walnut-stained feet introduce subtle warmth and sophistication, making it versatile for both neutral-toned schemes and more vibrant, eclectic spaces. Practical styling tips include pairing it with soft, layered throws and cushions for a cosy feel, or grounding it with a patterned rug to anchor the look. Its timeless design makes it suitable in living rooms aiming for a chic, understated elegance.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
