British sofa and chair manufacturer West Midlands Upholstery, run by husband-and-wife team, Steve & Alison Whitehouse, reflects on an enjoyable Manchester Furniture Show where the Buxton range was centre stage.
Manchester is a city that’s always a pleasure to visit and the show provided a good platform to reinforce our name and what we do. The sun was shining and it’s always great to meet our existing customers and new ones of course. The show provided the ideal platform to reinforce our new ranges, one of which is our Buxton model, which comes into focus this month following a successful launch back in January this year.
Comfort & Craftsmanship
The Buxton brings together timeless styling, exceptional comfort, and the quality of British craftsmanship. Upholstered in a beautifully soft, neutral chenille fabric from Ross Fabrics, it has a warm, inviting look that feels equally at home in both contemporary and traditional interiors.
The Buxton has quickly become one of our best-performing collections. Even during a quieter period across the furniture industry, retailers have continued to place repeat orders—a reflection of its broad customer appeal and consistent sales success.
Designed to Stand Out
The Buxton’s distinctive split back cushion design gives the collection a smart, tailored appearance while providing excellent comfort and support. Optional bolster cushions add an elegant finishing touch, enhancing both its style and its inviting feel.
With its generously proportioned frame, the Buxton offers plenty of room to relax, making it the perfect choice for busy family homes or simply unwinding at the end of the day.
Built for Comfort
Comfort was at the heart of the Buxton’s design from the very beginning. Featuring larger seat foam cushions, the Buxton offers:
- Deeper, more supportive seating
- Outstanding comfort for everyday living
- A luxurious feel that customers are naturally drawn to on the showroom floor
Its generous proportions create a welcoming seating experience where comfort is every bit as important as style.
British Manufacturing You Can Trust
Every Buxton sofa is proudly handcrafted in the heart of The Black Country by us West Midlands Upholstery, using traditional upholstery techniques and carefully selected, high-quality components and fabrics.
We only construct our sofas with strong birch hardwood frames providing exceptional strength, durability, and long-lasting reliability. It’s a sofa that’s made to be enjoyed for years to come, giving customers complete confidence in their investment.
Tailored to Your Customer
No two homes are the same, which is why we offer a range of bespoke sizing options across the Buxton collection. Whether your customer needs:
- A wider or shorter sofa
