Photosample - Idler 4 seater sofa in Intelligent Velvet Mineral

A beautiful centrepiece for the living room, kitchen or drawing room, our Idler four-seater sofa accommodates the entire family, including those cherished four-legged members. Characterised by gently curved arms, playful spherical feet and a deep, coil-sprung seat, the Idler four-seater sofa is the ultimate in luxurious comfort.

At NiX, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Our made-to-order upholstery is proudly crafted in the UK by our partner that has been handmaking fine furniture for over 60 years. The Idler two-seat sofa's FSC-certified beech hardwood frame and solid oak feet are carefully joined and secured with a Lifetime Guarantee for complete peace of mind.

This product is upholstered in our deliciously soft but incredibly durable Intelligent Velvet, which adds warmth and texture to your space. Made in Italy from 60% recycled yarns, Intelligent Velvet is stain-resistant and entirely washable, making it a beautiful and practical choice.

Seat cushions are carefully filled with a 50:50 mix of Spanish Barbary duck feathers – a by-product of the meat industry – and Quallofil Blue, a recycled fibre. The result is a cushion that you can sink into yet keeps its shape, eliminating the need for frequent plumping. Fabric covers are expertly stitched and every component is individually upholstered to be well-used and well-loved for years to come.

Delivery

We offer FREE kerbside delivery, with our larger products sent via our 2-man delivery partner.

If you need to have our piece installed or fitted into your home, then please email our customer services team, who will be able to offer you some options based on your specific location including the option for white glove delivery. Items may be delivered to the room of your choice, assembled if required and any packaging is taken away for recycling. If you need your old sofa collected, it may be possible for us to arrange that based on your location.

We would always recommend checking the dimensions of your new piece to ensure that it will fit through doorways and tight turns, up staircases and underneath ceilings, before you place your order. We’ve put together a furniture delivery guide to help you check whether it will fit and other preparations to ensure your delivery day goes smoothly.

On the delivery day, the team will confirm the delivery time via a phone call approximately one hour prior to arriving at your property.

All our sofas are shipped with transit feet to minimise any damage during transit. The NiX feet are shipping in a box with the sofa. Please just note that you will need to change the feet when you are ready to use it. This is very easy and there is no drilling required. The transit feet simply unscrew and the NiX feet will screw in their place. If you need to turn the sofa/chair over to change the feet, please be careful to avoid damaging the fabric.   

Returns

We really hope that you will be more than delighted with your NiX pieces. However, if you decide it doesn’t quite work and want to exchange it for something else, or if you have just changed your mind, then we have a no-quibbles returns policy, and we’ll happily take back most pieces within 28 days of when we delivered them, as long as they are in their original packaging (unless we took this away for you) and without any signs of use.

We will charge a $100 fee for collecting the item from you, or you can arrange for it to be delivered to our US warehouse location. Please follow the instructions listed below.

Made to Order (MTO) pieces are made specifically to your exact requirements and we are sadly unable to offer a return or refund on these pieces.

For upholstered pieces that have been made with your own fabric, we are sadly unable to offer a refund.

Should you find a fault or damage to your piece, please contact our customer support team who will be able to assist you.

To return an item, please follow the instructions on our Delivery & Returns page.

Once a week, use your vacuum cleaner’s upholstery nozzle to help stop dust from building up. You can also use a soft, clean brush to clean the fabric, paying particular attention to the arms and any pleats. This will help to combat fabric wear and stop colour fading. 

Our seat cushions have the same fabric on the top and bottom, making it easy to flip them over when plumping.

At NiX by Nicola Harding, we believe it is our responsibility to make things that last.

Our products are designed to be future heirlooms, investment pieces that will stand the test of time and endure across generations. That's why all our upholstery frames come with a lifetime guarantee. 

Crafted in the UK with meticulous attention to detail from seasoned, FSC-certified hardwood, our frames are shaped with a bandsaw before being drilled, assembled by hand and sanded by our experienced frame makers. Each frame component passes through around 15 different machining processes before being finished, ensuring the highest possible quality.
