As a celebration of Richdale’s 20-year anniversary, they are proud to announce their most innovative, sustainable and comfiest suite yet, the Green Cheltenham Sofa.

Over recent months, the company has undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of the Cheltenham’s manufacturing process to ensure every aspect of its production is sustainable. The result is a sofa that is not only stylish and comfortable but most importantly, kind to the planet.

The Cheltenham sofa features FSC certified hardwood frames made in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, offering a lifetime guarantee. In a shift from traditional foam fillings, Richdale has opted for natural fibres such as cotton, wool, felt, and feathers. The springs are locally manufactured and designed to be recyclable, supporting local industry and minimising waste. Each sofa is handmade in Derbyshire and can be tailored to any size, ensuring a perfect fit for your home.

Customers can choose from a range of natural fibre fabrics, including cotton and wool, or fabrics made from recycled materials, offering not only a wide range of colours and patterns but also a variety of eco-friendly options. Additionally, the sofa incorporates eco-adhesives and other sustainable components, further enhancing its green appeal. Deliveries are conducted using reusable packaging, reducing the environmental impact of distribution.

The company is also proud to be celebrating 20 years of service this year with the new design being a celebration of their dedication and development throughout this time. 

Richdale Sofas is justifiably proud of their achievement. “We’ve tried to make this sofa as sustainable as possible and can’t wait to show you all,” said a spokesperson for the company.
