How Suite Haven Tests & Scores

Every recommendation on Suite Haven comes from the same independent process. Here is exactly how we research, score and rank sofas - and how we make money.

Who writes our reviews

Our reviews and buying guides are produced and maintained by the Suite Haven editorial team - UK-based sofa researchers who compare every product on the things that actually matter, not the marketing claims on the box.

How we research

• Verified specifications taken from the manufacturer and cross-checked - never invented or guessed.
• Genuine owner feedback from thousands of verified UK purchases, to see how each sofa holds up in real homes over time.
• Category knowledge of what separates a good sofa from a frustrating one.

How we score

Each sofa gets an editorial "Our score" that weighs build quality, performance, ease of use, reliability and value for money. The score reflects merit only - a brand cannot pay to rank higher, and the size of any commission never influences it.

How we rank

Our best-of guides order products on that editorial score, then re-check rankings as ratings and models change. Where a popular product has real drawbacks, we say so plainly.

What we will not do

• We do not invent specifications or test results.
• We do not let brands buy features, rankings or softer reviews.
• We do not recommend a sofa we would not suggest to a friend.

How we make money
