Product Information

In conclusion, it’s not recommended to machine wash DFS french connectioncushion covers, but at a pinch, it can be done. We certainly wouldn’t buy another one, and I’m kind of looking forward to being rid of it. But alas, we will have to wait until our children are old enough that we dare buy a new sofa without it getting trashed. Next time comfort will be prioritised over style. Although the French ConnectionDFS sofais a large sofa, it gives off a very slim appearance. The arms are slender, it’s not a hefty sofa, thezinc sofafeels light and balanced. Theclean linesand slender legs of the DFS French ConnectionZinc sofareally help to emphasise the space and flow in the room. Being able to see the floor underneath makes a huge different to how open the room feels. The sofa comes with two cushions – the blue and white ones – and then I’ve added my own contrasting cushions for a bit of extra pizazz. (And to match the phone – yellow is my favourite colour.) Squishiness aside, I really like the sofa’s fabric. It comes in lots of different colours and a couple of fabric types, but the one I’ve chosen has a lovely tweedy feel to it. It looks and feels much more expensive than it is, which is always a good thing if you’re on a budget.

Colour and style are so subjective so get to understand what you like. Do you like colour harmony where similar tones live side by side peacefully? Do you like it when colours clash and surprise you? If you’re in rented accommodation and can’t decorate the walls or floors - plus you think you may move in a few years - it’s worth considering a neutral colour as it’s more transferable to a new interior. This may be a compromise but you can always create colour interest with accessories. We haven’t been particularly precious about the upkeep of our DFSzinc sofa, but it still looks in as good condition as it does when we first got it. We are very pleased with the longevity the DFS French Connection sofa has given us so far.

Fabric Sofacare

Ask about the maintenance of the sofa you’re interested in. You need to understand the performance of the fabric / cover and the ‘sit’ of the interior filling. For example, fibre and feather fillings provide a softer sit but need daily plumping to keep them looking good. Foam doesn’t require much maintenance but provides a firmer sit. Leather is likely to stretch, crease and mark with use, very much like a pair of leather shoes, which is a normal characteristic but the ‘lived in’ look is not to everyone’s taste if you like a very ‘precise’ look. We quite liked the calming atmosphere our mini jungle added, and so we decided to expand on our botanical styling even further. Our french connection fabric covers have always survived a machine wash on a low setting and scrub up pretty well afterwards. I cannot vouch for the velvet covers, though, as we don’t have experience of those.

Lauren Harris, DFS Senior Designer, commented: “We’re delighted to have added the French Connection Zinc sofa bed to our range. This new model offers multifunctionality while still maintaining the sofa’s cool and contemporary design, so you don’t have to compromise on the look you want to achieve for your space. The cushion covers are from H&M, bought last year. I am considering swapping them out for some palm leaf covers, but can’t decide if that is taking it a step too far with the botanical theming – what do you think? I think the French ConnectionDFS sofais one of the besthigh streetsofas out there for a clean modern look that won’t break the bank and is also super comfortable and durable. 2023 Update: The Zinc sofa bed’s versatile, minimalist feel means that it can be easily styled to suit any living room or season. For an on-trend summer look, go for the blush velvet colour option and layer with global-inspired pattern in cushions and throws, then pair with plenty of greenery and hints of wood and rattan.” I’ve got a new sofa from DFS – the Zinc 2 seater sofa, designed by French Connection. You see how comfy yet stylish I look?I’m not going to be one of those people, and call it Hygge just because I put a blanket over my knees, ( I ranted about this), but I will say that I do like a cosy winter’s evening at home on the sofa. DFS has more than 120 stores across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain and employs over 4,000 people. My snuggling has been severely impaired until now by the fact that our biggest sofa was also the least cosy sofa in the whole world. It had no arms, no squishiness – what on earth is the point of a sofa with no arms? You may as well just sit on the floor and lean against the wall. That’s not very cosy is it? That’s like being 13 and on a school camp in an old mansion house and hanging out on the floor in the corridor because you think you’re cool. DFS has teamed up with a range of Exclusive Brands to create beautiful inspiring designer sofas for everyone, available exclusively at DFS, including Joules, French Connection, Country Living, House Beautiful and Grand Designs. The French Connection Zinc sofa bed is available in a choice of three materials and fourteen colours - from summery blush pink to sophisticated forest green - offering options to suit any décor, whether you have a thing for pale pastels, vibrant brights, or understated neutrals.
