Competition | Win a sofa worth up to £2,650

Iona Bower December 10, 2025

Beautiful sofas that will last a lifetime and are kind to the planet and your pocket, that
sounds Schplendid to us…

High-end sofas may be well made and can last a lifetime, but they often come with the price tag to match. Meanwhile, sofas at the lower end of the market are stuffed with chemicals and generally don’t stand the test of time before ending up in landfill.

Frustrated with mass-produced furniture that simply gets tossed away, while beautiful craftsmanship is priced out of reach, Schplendid decided to change things up. Ditching the shiny showrooms and huge markups, they decided to put every penny into what really matters, your sofa.

Each Schplendid sofa is traditionally made, with all natural materials, 8-way hand-tied springs, solid beech frames and 80% down cushions. They’re built to last – they guarantee it, quite literally – and they’re designed with honesty at their core. Schplendid is passionate about quality, obsessed with comfort, and committed to making sofas that don’t cost the earth.

Bringing beautiful, well-made sofas that last to as many people as possible. No plastic. No nasties. No nonsense. Just incredible sofas at reasonable prices, for real people.

If you’re keen to join the not-so-quiet rebellion against throwaway furniture, then The Simple Things has teamed up with Schplendid to give one lucky reader the chance to win a sofa, worth up to £2,650. With 19 all natural fabrics, including 100% cotton velvets or top-grade, heavy-weight 100% linens, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

You can choose from bestselling models, including the Vesper love seat, the Albion 3-seater, the Wee Bonnie 2-seater, and the Scoon 2-seater. Or the Schplendid team would be happy to help should you wish to upgrade to a sofa that will surely become an heirloom piece in your home.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
