I honestly wouldn’t have guessed that the entire sofa was in those boxes if I hadn’t arranged it myself. I had re-arranged my furniture, recalling past delivery frustrations with failed attempts and wall scuffs, but it turns out I didn’t need to do any of that!
Also, if you have a small recycling bin, it’s a huge bonus that the delivery team will unbox your sofa and take away the packaging. While I didn’t opt for this service, it definitely gave me peace of mind knowing it was available.
GLAMOUR road test: assembly, comfort and design
As for assembly, the sofa arrived in modular parts, and thanks to Swyft’s genius no-tools-required system, everything simply clicks together — almost like magic. No word of a lie, it took less time to put together than it would for me to make a Nespresso, complete with my signature latte art (still a work in progress). Overall, the delivery and assembly were exactly what you’d expect from a brand called Swyft.
As for the aesthetics? If you’ve ever dreamed of having a home that looks like it belongs on a Pinterest mood board (like I have!), this sofa is your shortcut to making that a reality. To quote my flatmate, “Our lounge has officially been levelled up; it looks like a completely different space!” The timeless design will fit effortlessly into any room, whether your style is eclectic, modern, or somewhere in between.
This sofa strikes the perfect balance between structured, soft cushions you can melt into, and clean lines that keep it looking both refined and inviting. With over 25 colour options to choose from, you can easily find one that complements your space. I went with a neutral shade to have fun switching up throw pillows, blankets, and statement decor, but the bolder colours are perfect if you’re feeling adventurous and want to make a statement in a maximalist space.
Our Swyft sofa review verdict
I’ve had my Swyft sofa for over three months now, and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. The cushions — despite not being feather-filled — haven’t deflated at all, spills roll off the fabric better than my high-tech waterproof jacket, and the vacuum picks up dust and lint with ease.
I have no doubt that in the future, as I move into bigger apartments or properties, I’ll be eager to add more pieces from the brand. Admittedly, I do wish the prices were more in line with the average young professional salary, but I’ll give the brand credit for designing furniture that’s meant to replace your old sofa or bed for good. Plus, with a 15-year frame guarantee and a 100-day trial period to decide whether to keep, return, or exchange the product, you have the peace of mind knowing the brand stands behind its quality.
