If you’re working with a budget, an ex-display sofa could be a smart option. While there are some limitations to be aware of, this guide will walk you through what an ex-display sofa is – along with the key pros and cons to help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

At The Hastings Sofa Company, we showcase a wide range of sofas in our showroom – from different styles and sizes to various types of upholstery. Choosing a sofa is a big decision; after all, it’s something that will be part of your home for years. That’s why we completely understand the importance of seeing it in person rather than just browsing online. Each of our sofas is displayed in the showroom for a season, and once new models arrive, the previous ones become ex-display – available to buy at a reduced price

One of the biggest advantages of choosing an ex-display sofa from us is the price – you get a high-quality, well-made sofa for a fraction of the original cost. In some cases, it might even be half price or less. These sofas are ready to go, straight from our showroom, meaning there’s no waiting around – once purchased, it can be in your home in no time. We usually have a wide selection available in our clearance section, so if you visit us in person, just ask a member of the team to point out which sofas are ex-display / clearance.

One thing to keep in mind with ex-display sofas is that they may show some signs of wear from being on the showroom floor. These are usually minimal, but it’s worth considering before you buy. With our ex-display range, what you see is exactly what you get – so you can inspect the sofa in person and know exactly what you’re taking home. We offer clearance sofas in a variety of fabrics, styles, and sizes, so if you’re looking for a standout piece, you just might find the perfect one with us.

We believe buying an ex-display sofa is a smart choice. It’s a great way to get a high-quality piece at a more affordable price – and without the usual wait times. While you may have less flexibility when it comes to custom options, the value and convenience often make up for it. Just remember, each ex-display sofa is one of a kind – once it’s gone, it’s gone. So if you spot one you love, don’t wait too long to make your decision!
