Have several Next sofas but one Gosford Sofa in Velour Charcoal Grey is now a totally different colour at the back as it is from the front. Fading is not due to heat as the back of the sofa which is by a radiator is the original colour. The front of the sofa is now brown. Despite covering it in summer months and hardly using the sofa it now appears the £1150 for the furniture was not a good spend. Perhaps if you purchase this sofa and put it in a basement with no natural light it will stay one colour . Don’t waste your money. Not fit for purpose springs to mind. !!! Customer service were very helpful and polite but could not assist as it was out of warranty.
