What's the perfect set-up for a cosy night in?

What's your cosy night in?

Four quick questions. We'll match you with a Goodman set-up.

Who needs a spare room?

Same pieces, same room. Push the footstool into the corner and Goodman turns into a family pit: a single deep, soft surface wall to wall. Kids pile in for a film, friends stay over after dinner, and the spare bedroom can stay an office.

• Film night. Everyone gets a spot to lie down, nobody gets the "bad seat".
• Sleepovers. Cousins, godchildren, the friend who missed the last train. A blanket and a pillow and they're sorted.
• Sunday mornings. Coffee, papers, and nowhere to be.
• Back to normal. Pull the footstool out and you have a sofa again, ready for guests who prefer to sit upright.

That's why we think a corner pit is the best type of sofa for a family: it's a corner sofa when you need seats, and something much better when you don't.

Build your family pit

Goodman is made from five pieces: left armchair, right armchair, armless chair, corner chair and footstool. Pick a starting point, then add or take away pieces. Then choose your cover and colour, and add the lot to your bag.

Not sure how many pieces? Three or four suit most rooms, and family set-ups usually run to five to seven. Our guide on how to configure a modular sofa covers L-shape and U-shaped sofas in more detail.

The whole cover comes off

Shop Goodman →

• Every visible surface comes off. Seat cushions, back pillows, arms and frame. A true sofa with removable covers, which is exactly what a family pit needs.
• Tailored, not slouchy. Inset legs hold the cover tight, so it sits neatly even though it comes off.
• Feathers stay put. Each cushion is wrapped in a down-proof liner, so nothing escapes when the cover is off.
• A new look is a cover away. Replacement covers are available from our team, so you can change colour without changing sofa.

Always check the care label on your cover for how to clean it.

Sink into comfort

Goodman uses our Sink-in Comfort seat. You sink in as you sit down and the cushion settles around you, which is exactly what you want from a pit.

What's inside a Goodman seat

1. Stitched channels. A soft cotton down-proof lining, quilted into channels so the fill stays spread evenly and feathers can't work through the cover.
2. Feather and fibre. A 50/50 mix of ethically sourced duck feather and fibre. Feather gives the sink; fibre helps the cushion bounce back.
3. High-performance foam. The core of the cushion. It holds the shape and carries your weight. No springs.

• How it feels. Relaxed and soft. The kind of seat you curl up on with a book or stretch out on for a film.
• Feather where it counts. Half duck feather, half fibre, stitched into channels so it stays spread evenly. Feather gives the soft sink; fibre helps the cushion bounce back.
• A foam core. The foam carries your weight, so the cushion never sinks all the way down.
• A little care. Feather moves as you sit, so the cushions take your shape. Rotating and plumping cushions every few days keeps them full and even. Over time they take on a soft, lived-in look, which is part of the charm.

Goodman or Goodman Mini?

Same look, same removable covers, same height. Goodman Mini is about 6 cm shallower in the seat and a little narrower, made for smaller rooms and anyone who likes their feet on the floor. For a sprawling pit, full-size Goodman's 69 cm seat depth is hard to beat.

Width × depth. Prices from, in Mosquito linen.

Any cover, made for you

Every Goodman is a made to order sofa. You pick the pieces, then the cover, then the colour, and we make it for you in our own factory. Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for you. Goodman comes in three fabrics and four Italian leathers: 56 colours in all.

Calm and quiet suits a pit, which is why a cream sofa or a neutral sofa in Mosquito is a family favourite, like the one in our customer's photos. Linen sofas have a relaxed texture and a natural breathable fibre that stays comfortable all year. If you want a modern linen sofa that feels lived-in from day one, it's hard to beat. The best linen sofas pair that look with a solid frame and a well-filled seat, which is what makes luxury linen sofas worth it.

Prefer leather? All four of our Italian leathers work on Goodman, the same ones we use across our Italian leather sofas. Felix is our pick for a pit with children and pets: full aniline with an embossed nubuck finish, built to hide marks. See all our fabric sofas and luxury leather sofas, or read leather vs fabric.
