ScS is one of the UK's largest retailers of upholstered furniture and floorings. We trade as two separate brands- the core ScS brand and the newly acquired Snug brand.

 

The ScS brand is promoted as the "Sofa Carpet Specialist", seeking to offer value and choice through a wide range of upholstered furniture and flooring products. The product range is designed to appeal to a broad customer base with a mid-market priced offering and is currently traded from 100 stores. The brand specialises primarily in fabric and leather sofas and chairs, selling a range of branded products which are not sold under registered trademarks and a range of branded products which are sold under registered trademarks owned by ScS (such as Endurance, Inspire and SiSi Italia). It also offers a range of third party brands (which include La-Z-Boy, Ideal Home and G Plan). ScS' flooring business includes carpets, rugs, wood, laminate and luxury vinyl tiling.

 

Snug is an innovative digital-first sofa and sofa-bed business specialising in modular and re-configurable sofas, with quick delivery and excellent quality and customer service. Although predominantly online, Snug also operates from one store in Leeds and seven concessions throughout England.
