I also bought all new bedding, not on sale, that was still good value for the money. My bed is so comfy now! And the woman that was working the floor in the bedding department helped us gather what we wanted and also knew exactly what date some pillowcases we wanted would be back in stock. I also know from experience that they are happy to accept returns as I bought a set of curtains that was the wrong size. I brought them back for a painless exchange.

The other major sofa retailer in Carlisle had flooded aswell. I must say that I was I was very impressed with the choice of sofas in my price category and in the end managed to get a really good deal on a two and three seater leather combo. The staff were absolutely fantastic and not pushy at all although it was obvious they were working for commission. They even gave me a free leather care kit which should have cost thirty pounds which was really good of them and has come in very handy with a toddler running about now. I really love my new seating and the quality of the leather is really nice. The seat pads are still really bouncy and retain their shape. The shop is really big and there is loads of car parking spaces. Although it can take a little while to get back out of the car park as the main road can be quite busy.
