Overview Of The Philip Sofa

England Furniture makes the Philip sofa. England Furniture has been crafting quality upholstered furniture in the foothills of East Tennessee since 1964. Founded by the England brothers, the goal of England Furniture is to be recognized for the highest quality with the shortest build cycle in the industry.

With England Furniture, you can create a matching living room set or match patterns and colors to make your unique look. With over 500 fabrics and leathers to choose from, England offers the broadest selection and countless combinations to help customers create something uniquely suited for their home.

One of the better custom furniture manufacturers, England Furniture produces strong frames, sofa arms, and chairs built with durable plywood reinforced with enough hardwood to ensure structural integrity. England is an excellent brand for you if you are looking for custom furniture and higher quality at an affordable price range.

The Philip sofa, in particular, is an excellent example of the quality and value offered by England. The Philip features comfortable fabric options, nailhead trim, and comfortable poly-foam plush cushions with two density levels depending on your preference.

Philip offers many fabric selection options to choose from that will not raise your price, which gives you customization options without costing you extra. You can also change the fabric on the included throw pillows.

You can choose to upgrade your solid wood couch frame for a more rigid seat deck, helping your product last even longer. England offers a 10-year cushion core warranty due to their confidence in the materials they use. In addition, England cushions feature self-healing zippers, which are much more practical and long-lasting than standard zippers.

If you are looking for a higher-quality sofa that can be customized to your liking while still maintaining a value price point, the Philip is a great option to consider.

The Philip Sofa Good, Better, Best Ranking

Now let’s explore where the Philip couch fits into theGood, Better, Best furniture quality ranking system. The Philip sofa is in the “Better” category of the GBB ranking, and there are several reasons for that ranking.

Solid wood frames are crucial to a higher quality sofa frame, and the Philip couch has a sturdy frame built from solid wood and reinforced for extra durability. In addition to frame strength, a better quality sofa will have comfortable, supportive cushion cores, and Philip has some of the best cushion warranties on the market.

Finally, the customizable options available to the customer are a big part of what puts the Philip into the better quality category. Having a massive selection of custom fabrics available at the same price is a hard deal to beat when it comes to custom furniture.

Who Would Be Right For The Philip Sofa?

The Philip sofa is perfect for someone who has a budget but still wants to have a little say in their furniture design. If you have unique taste or a specific design style in mind, you can achieve that look with the Philip at a fraction of what brands in the “Best” category of the GBB would charge.

Simply put, the Philip is more than “just another brown sofa” littering the showroom floor. With the Philip, you can be adventurous in your color choices and match whatever design aesthetic you are looking to achieve.

A potential downside to the Philip sofa is that it really only sits two people comfortably, or perhaps two adults and a kid or two. While this configuration is great for a couple starting out or for a young family, it may not be the best option for a larger family.

However, if you have the space, you may even want to consider purchasing matching sofas, which will fill out your living room and give more friends or family members places to sit, relax and bond while enjoying each other’s company.

Ready To Make New Memories In Your Living Room?

Now that you have a more comprehensive overview of the Philip sofa by England furniture, you will be better prepared to decide if the Philip is right for you or if you need to continue your quest for the perfect sofa.
