What it is made from

Hardwood frame, fish-mouth springs, feather and foam.

Springs and webbing inside a sofa base

A Salthrop is built around a hardwood frame with a fish-mouth sprung seat platform for balanced support. The cushions combine feather and foam, so they feel luxurious, hold their shape and are very easy to maintain. Each sofa is made in Lancashire by trusted craftspeople, with organic striped fabric woven in Yorkshire.

Covers and fabrics

Two back styles, and covers that come off.

Signature bow tie detail on the back of a loose cover

Choose Big Back cushions for a neater, more structured look, or Scatter Back for a softer, laid-back feel. Either way the covers are fully removable, many can be machine washed at home, and a signature bow detail makes them easy to take off. The stripes are 100% GOTS-approved organic cotton, woven in Yorkshire, and the plains are durable cotton blends. Both are machine washable.

How to look after it

Plump it like a feather pillow.

Salthrop sofa in Coastal Blue Stripe

Natural materials behave very differently from the man-made foam in most sofas, so plump the cushions the way you would a feather bed pillow. Plumping moves the feathers around and pushes fresh air between them, which keeps the cushions comfortable. Wash your covers at 30 degrees with a gentle fabric detergent, and wash every piece equally, because colour will likely fade a little each time you clean them.

Customer reviews

What people say.

★★★★★

Professional and thoughtful customer care

Following an issue with my order, I was contacted directly by the company with a sincere apology and a full refund for an item not delivered for several weeks. They also arranged a thoughtful goodwill gesture, which was appreciated and unexpected. I was impressed by the professionalism of their response and the effort they made to put things right. It's refreshing to deal with a company that listens to feedback and genuinely cares about its customers. Thank you to Janine and the team for their help and excellent customer service.

Amazing attentive service from first meeting with Nadia to liaison with production and logistics, Melanie was fantastic with rearranging and holding off deliveries with our continual building delays.

Delightful from start to finish

Delightful from start to finish - helped me with design, sent many fabric samples, helped me get my order in before the price increase, kept me informed through the construction, effortless delivery, gorgeous pieces. I purchased a sofa, chair, and ottoman and could not be happier.

Incredible!

From the very start, Sophie Conran was the obvious choice for our new sofa! We had been browsing the net for a while in the hope of finding something extra special for our new home and very nearly gave up… that is until we clapped eyes on Sophie Conran's glorious website! We quickly fell in love with the classic chic of her designs and knew it was the right choice! Nadia was very accommodating and knowledgeable in helping us choose the right sofa and Melanie was a joy to work with in managing a seamless experience in delivering our order ahead of the scheduled delivery date! The entire process was stress-free and without any effort from our side! I cannot recommend this company enough 😃
