Long Island Empress Sofa
Part of our Long Island collectionThe materials
Long Island uses oak for the removeable, tapered legs, and plywood and tulipwood for the frame. Like oak, tulipwood is incredibly strong and this, coupled with expert joinery techniques, ensures it will stand the test of time. The plywood is used in areas where a more flexible and lighter weight material is needed to create the shape of the sofa, such as on the curved arms of the frame.The materials: foam and feathers
The seat cushions have a soft foam core encased in channelled feather and fibre – this channelling helps to distribute the filling evenly so that the cushions remain perfectly plump. And the backrests only contain feathers so you can experience that sink-into feeling. We’ve also used serpentine springs in the base for support and comfort, as well as elastic webbing in the back to ensure the sofa holds its shape over time.Design detail
The shape of this sofa hints towards relaxation with its fluid, rolling arc to the side profile and gentle scrolling arms for comfort and support. The feather-filled, over-sized back cushions are also pillow-like, so they create an inviting look and feel for you to sink into. Whether you want to remove the sofa covers for cleaning or replacing, we’ve made this as easy as possible by adding a zip in the middle of the backrest as well as concealed Velcro points.Doing the right thing
Our furniture uses wood from the Appalachian Mountains, a region where for every tree harvested or decaying, 2.4 naturally grow back in its place which supports forest regeneration. In fact, this has increased the Appalachian forest by more than 300,000 acres in the last 25 years. The wood then goes to our production house, where a dedicated team is leading us towards becoming the most sustainable home and lifestyle brand by 2030. Not only is the production house powered by highly energy-efficient heat pumps, it also reuses and recycles as many by-products as possible to reduce waste and thereby, do what we can to take some of the pressure off our planet.Delivered to you, safe and sound
Free for all orders over £50 (or €100 in Ireland).
An estimated delivery date is indicated above, which we’ll confirm at checkout. We'll then be in touch prior to delivery to arrange a specific time.
If your order is being delivered to the UK mainland and Ireland via our white glove service, we’ll unbox your items, position them in your chosen room, assemble anything that’s required and remove and recycle the packaging.
No-quibble returns
We believe that returns should be easy, which is why we approach them with a ‘no quibble’ mindset. And, you’ll also have 28 days to do so – just in case you need time to mull things over.
When it comes to designs upholstered in a made-to-order fabric or painted in a bespoke colour, there’s also a 20% returns/cancellation fee. We’d love to not have to charge a penny for this, but as they’re made just for you, we can’t always guarantee that we’ll be able to sell them again.
If you’ve bought something from us outside the UK or Ireland, just get in touch with the store you bought it from – or with our international team if you bought it through them – and they’ll let you know how you can return or exchange it.
And talk to our international team on +44 (0)1793 427 427 or at international@neptune.com.
