We’ve had our Snug sofa for about six weeks now, and we’re honestly so happy with it. Since sharing it on Instagram, I’ve received quite a few questions, so I thought I’d put together a blog post to cover everything in one place. Buying a new sofa is a big investment, so I hope this helps you make a more confident choice.
Why Snug?
One of the standout features of Snug is that their sofas are delivered in boxes, which means no awkward struggles getting them through narrow doorways or tight staircases. Even though the sofa arrives in parts and needs assembling, it’s surprisingly quick and easy — it took us just around 10 minutes to put ours together. (You can see the full assembly video on my Instagram!)
What We Chose
We went for the Rebel two-seater sofa in taupe velvet. Our living room is quite small, and although the three-seater might have technically fit, it would’ve looked cramped and partially blocked the door. The two-seater was definitely the better choice for the space.
Design & Fabric
The Rebel’s design is sleek and simple, and the velvet fabric adds a soft, luxurious feel. It also happens to match really well with our existing decor. I was initially worried about going for a light colour (especially with two kids and a dog!), but the taupe has held up incredibly well. It actually makes the room feel more spacious, and pet hair wipes off with no effort at all. Bonus: it’s spill-resistant too. My son spilled a bright pink drink on it, and the liquid literally rolled off without a stain — pure magic!
Comfort
When we first sat on the sofa, it felt a little firm — especially compared to our older, softer sofa. But over the past few weeks, it’s softened a bit while still keeping its structure. It’s definitely still on the firmer side, so if you prefer a super squishy sofa, this might not be your perfect match. That said, we’ve come to love it.
Colour Options & Customisation
The Rebel sofa comes in a great range of colours including mid grey, biscuit, navy, forest green, olive, blue steel, teal, blush, blush coral, turmeric, and oatmeal. We chose brown legs, but you can also opt for black. So much choice!
Maintenance Tips
We clean our sofa regularly to help it last longer, though minor wear over time is totally normal. If any surface damage happens, you don’t necessarily need a new sofa. Try custom patches in a matching colour or pattern — they’re great for discreet fixes or even adding a fun personal touch. Friends and family rarely even notice they’re there! For outdoor furniture, Sunbrella fabric is another excellent option.
Final Thoughts
Overall, we’re thrilled with our Snug Rebel sofa. It fits our home and lifestyle perfectly and has been a great addition to our living space. If you’re looking for a sofa that’s stylish, practical, and easy to set up, I’d definitely recommend giving Snug a look.
