Description
If you're upping the squish factor in your sitting room it could be time to podge things up a bit. We've served up a second row of jumbo scatterback cushions for serious loafing!
Our Stylist Says
The Podge sofa is a versatile and stylish piece that works effortlessly across various interiors, from modern minimalism to cosy, eclectic setups. I love its understated elegance and comfortable proportions, making it a great choice for both everyday lounging and entertaining. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a throw to add a welcoming, layered look. It also lends itself well to both light and dark colour schemes, so you can adapt its surroundings to suit your space. Practical tips include placing it near a coffee table or beside a reading nook to enhance its functional appeal, while keeping accessories minimal will allow its clean silhouette to shine. Overall, the Podge is a reliable choice for those seeking a seat that's both practical and visually appealing.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
