Price History
Description
An original Heal's design, the Somerset sofa is made using traditional construction methods. The footstool has a feather-filled seat cushion that works both as a sitting stool and a footrest. Solid wood stem legs complete the footstool and adds to the contemporary design. Available in a wide selection of Heal's fabrics, the footstool can be used alone or twinned with the Somerset sofa and armchair.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its versatile style and natural palate, making it a great addition to both modern and classic interiors. The boucle fabric offers a soft, textured finish that adds tactile interest without overpowering the space. Its compact size and tapered wooden legs mean it works well in living rooms as a footrest or an extra seat in smaller settings, while also grounding a neutral or layered colour scheme. For styling tips, try pairing it with a plush sofa in soothing tones or place it alongside natural wood furnishings to amplify its organic vibe. It's also a practical choice for layered interiors where texture and comfort are key-perfect for adding a relaxed yet stylish touch.

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.
