At Lake District Sofas, comfort is about more than simply making a sofa feel soft.

It is about finding the right balance between support, resilience, shape and that unmistakable feeling when you sit down and know a sofa is right for you.

That is why we have decided to describe an important part of the comfort built into many of our collections:


FellCore

Resilient foam seat comfort


and

FellCloud

Fibre-filled back comfort


Two different elements, working together to create a beautifully balanced sofa.

FellCore for the seat. FellCloud for the back.

Comfort, Made the Lake District Way.


What is FellCore?

The seat cushion plays a huge part in how a sofa feels, both when it is brand new and after years of everyday use.

FellCore is our name for the resilient foam seat cushioning used across selected Lake District Sofas collections.

Foam provides structure, support and recovery. It helps the seat hold its shape while giving you a reassuringly comfortable place to sit.

The exact feel varies from collection to collection, but the principle remains the same: dependable support beneath you, designed for real everyday living.

Because a good sofa should not only feel comfortable when you first sit down.

It should continue to feel right.


FellCore — Support that holds its shape.


What is FellCloud?

A great back cushion should do more than simply feel soft.

FellCloud is our name for the fibre-filled back cushioning used across selected Lake District Sofas collections.

Fibre allows us to create different levels of comfort depending on the design of the sofa.

Some FellCloud backs are softer and more relaxed, giving you that cosy, sink-in feeling.

Others are fuller and firmer, designed to provide greater support through the back and shoulders.

That means FellCloud is not one particular level of softness.

It is about using fibre to create the right kind of back comfort for each collection.

From relaxed and inviting to firmer and more supportive, the filling is balanced to suit the character of the sofa.

FellCloud — Plump comfort. Tailored support.


Two kinds of comfort. One beautifully balanced sofa.

We have created FellCore and FellCloud to make sofa comfort easier to understand.

Sofa specifications can quickly become technical. Foam densities, fibre fillings and construction methods all matter, but they do not always mean much when you are standing in a showroom trying to decide which sofa feels right.

So we keep it simple.

FellCore Resilient foam seat comfort.

FellCloud Fibre-filled back comfort.

FellCore gives the seat its supportive foundation.

FellCloud helps define how the sofa feels through the back, whether that is softer and more relaxed or firmer and more supportive.

Together, they create the overall sit.

It is one of the most important parts of a sofa.

And one of the parts you cannot properly appreciate until you sit down.


Why we have given our comfort a name

There is a lot to think about when choosing a new sofa.

The size.

The shape.

The fabric.

The colour.

The arms.

The feet.

Whether you want a traditional sofa, a corner group, a chaise end, a cuddler, a recliner or something completely different.

But eventually it all comes back to one thing:


How does it feel?

At Lake District Sofas, we believe the construction inside a sofa deserves just as much attention as the fabric on the outside.

That is why FellCore and FellCloud are becoming part of the way we talk about our furniture.

They help explain what is beneath the upholstery and why different sofas can have such different personalities.

One collection may feel softer and more relaxed.

Another may feel firmer and more upright.

Neither is necessarily better.

It is about finding the sofa that suits you.


Comfort, the Lake District Way

The Lake District has always shaped the way we think about furniture.

Homes here are lived in.

Boots come through the door.

Dogs find their favourite spot.

Families gather.

Friends stay longer than planned.

Evenings stretch out.

A sofa has to be beautiful, but it also has to work for real life.

That thinking underpins everything we mean by:


Made the Lake District Way.

Beautiful design matters.

British craftsmanship matters.

The right fabric matters.

The construction inside the sofa matters too.

FellCore and FellCloud are our way of making that part of the story clearer.


Find the comfort that suits you

Not everyone wants the same kind of sofa.

Some people prefer a softer, more relaxed sit.

Others want something firmer and more supportive.

Some want to curl up.

Others prefer to sit more upright.

That is why trying a sofa properly matters.

Our different collections offer different comfort levels, seat depths, back heights and cushion constructions, helping you find something that genuinely suits the way you like to sit.

Across our range, you can also choose from hundreds of beautiful fabrics, including easy-care Aquaclean options, so your sofa can be tailored to both your home and the way you live.
