Cookes Furniture to Host New Sustainable Sofa Range

Cookes Furniture, Erdington, is to exclusively host a luxurious new sofa range across the Midlands and the South, which is both more environmentally friendly and claims to be more comfortable than traditional ranges.

Spink & Edgar Upholstery, which is owned by Great Britain’s most established and innovative bed makers Harrison Spinks, has removed 60% of the foam and other manmade materials within the seat cushions and throughout the frame. Foam and fibre, which is not sustainable and flattens over time, has been replaced with award-winning pocket sprung core technology; ensuring endless comfort while preserving the sofa’s plumped appearance.

“Using this technology, we have created a beautiful sofa range with unrivalled comfort that will stand the test of time. There no longer has to be a compromise between comfort and style,” comments Commercial Director of Spink & Edgar Upholstery, Jo Moore.

Vanessa Hoe, Marketing Director, Cookes Furniture, Erdington added:

“At Cookes Furniture we were impressed by the product, and not just by the quality and attention to detail, but also by the fact that it is sustainable. As a family firm, which spans four generations, we are very keen to work with suppliers that can provide new and exciting products which will appeal to the next generation of customers. We would like to improve our environmental credentials and see Spink & Edgar as a showcase sustainable product which doesn’t compromise on the quality or style that our customers expect. Following the launch of this, we hope to look at other environmentally friendly ranges by the autumn.”

Harrison Spinks’ pocket spring technology, used within the new furniture, has received two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in Innovation and Sustainable Development. Capitalising on the luxury bed makers 175 years’ experience, Spink & Edgar Upholstery has created a range of sofas which carries across the quality, heritage and commitment to innovation from its parent company.

Each Spink & Edgar sofa is not only handcrafted in Yorkshire by a team of skilled craftsmen, but is more sustainable than other sofas on the market due to the 60% less foam and natural fillings used. Jo adds: “Our ultimate goal is to eventually remove 100% of the foam used within the sofas and replace it with completely natural products.”  

Yorkshire-based Spink & Edgar manufactures everything onsite from the award-winning springs and FSC wooden frames to growing the natural fillings on its farm.

Prices for the new Spink & Edgar sofa range start from £2,000 and will be stocked at Cookes Furniture in Birmingham and Dorset as well as the exclusive showroom in Yorkshire.
