Why Schplendid Don’t Do Sofa Sales (and Never Will)

Why Schplendid Don’t Do Sofa Sales (and Never Will)

We offer the best price all year round.

Every few months, the sofa industry explodes into another “once-in-a-lifetime” sale.
Black Friday! Bank Holiday! Boxing Day! Everything must go!

Except, of course, it doesn’t.

At Schplendid, you’ll never see a discount banner — not on Black Friday, not at Christmas, not ever. We don’t believe in fake mark-ups, flashy discounts or pricing games. We believe in fairness: the best price, all year round, for everyone.

 

 

 

The truth about sofa sales

If a company can afford to knock 40% off, it means they were overcharging you in the first place. The “sale” sofa isn’t a bargain — it’s the normal price, dressed up as a miracle.

Our margins are already razor-thin. If we tried to run a sale, we’d go bust within about a minute. That’s because we price honestly, not opportunistically. Our sofas are effectively “double-discounted” all the time — we just prefer to be straight about it.

We offer great value not because we cut corners, but because we cut out everything that doesn’t make your sofa better.


Where your money goes

We’re lean and mean in every department except the one that matters most: the sofa itself.

No fancy showrooms. No pushy salespeople. No marketing stunts.

Instead, we lavish money on the parts you can actually feel:

It’s simple: we put your money where you sit.


Transparent pricing, forever

Most sofa companies calculate prices as a percentage markup. A sofa that costs £400 to make might sell for £1,600. Choose a more expensive fabric and the margin multiplies, so a £50 cost increase can turn into £500–£1,000 more on the price tag.

We do it differently. We use a fixed profit model  and any extra material cost is passed directly to you at cost price. If your chosen fabric costs us £50 more, you pay £50 more. That’s it.

That’s why our prices don’t fluctuate. They’re as low as it’s possible for sofas of this quality to be — every day of the year.

Honest craft. Fair price. Zero gimmicks.

It’s tempting to wait for the next “event”, but with Schplendid, every day is the event. You’re getting the best price we can offer, for the best sofa we can make.

We keep ourselves lean and mean in every department, but spend freely on the thing that matters — your sofa. Because we’d rather put your money into craftsmanship and materials than into a “SALE” banner.

So if you’re wondering whether to wait for a discount, don’t. There isn’t one coming — and that’s precisely why you can trust us.
