Good Sofa manufacturers?

Looking to buy a sofa set for the living room. Would like leather recliners this time. Had a look at Lay-z-boy but they get horrendous reviews on Trust pilot. I know the same company also manufacture for Sofology and others too. So....I wanted to ask if anyone can identify or recommend quality manufacturers of recliner sofas?

    I chose Furnipol uk. There's also annafurniture. Find them to be cheaper with more functionality on their sofas!

    They seem to be polish manufacturers, website for Furnipol, is a bit messy, how had your experience been and how has the sofa lasted, appreciate any insight, thanks

    all products are manufactured to retailer/brand specifications.
    so look for a decent shop.
    I like m&s, but double they do huge leather recliners as no their style :/

    Made a huge mistake ordering a leather recliner from dfs, id rather sit on the floor for the rest of my life than deal with dfs again if that helps at all.
    Had 3 damaged sofas in a row delivered and third isn't real leather on the back and sides which i paid extra for, been trying to sort it out for 18 months, management came out and lied claiming it is real leather, had 3 separate upholstery repairers confirm its faux leather but dfs keep making up lies and excuses like the latest theory of theirs, its apparently still 100% leather but they used the crap bits from the belly etc... on the back and sides.
    Will be taking them to court soon (edited)

    This is the exact scenario I'm worried about ...sofas are not cheap - £5-8k for a good set - so it definitely needs to be an informed decision. Thanks for sharing your experience. I know that Sofology and DFS are the same company now, so I expect similarly bad experience with Sofology.

    We bought direct from Tetrad who make for JL. We wanted a JL sofa but it had gone from their website and they sent us to Tetrad.

    Anyone heard of or have experience of Natuzzi, who are Italian and appear to be decent but expensive. Is the price worth it?
