Description
We invented our Slowcoach sofa as a homage to life in the slow lane. Now we've taken things a step further by letting guests get horizontal.
Our Stylist Says
I love the couch as a versatile piece that balances comfort and practicality. Its neutral tone makes it easy to style across a range of interiors, from cosy traditional spaces to more modern schemes. It works particularly well in eclectic or Scandinavian-inspired interiors where layering textures and colours can create a welcoming vibe. For styling tips, consider adding throw pillows and a textured blanket to soften its look, and pair it with a statement rug to anchor the space. Its straightforward design means it can adapt to different uses-whether as a primary seating area or an informal guest bed-making it a practical choice for smaller living rooms or open-plan spaces.

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.
