How to care for your new Getaway Armchair

Regular Care (Weekly)

  • Vacuum regularly using low suction
  • Protect from direct sunlight

Cleaning

  • Remove any spills immediately by gently blotting any liquid stands with a clean cloth.
  • Scoop any sauces up before blotting the remaining sauces.
  • Use a mild detergent to gently remove any loose soilage.
  • Do not scrub with a stiff brush.
  • Use a clean cloth to blot out any excess liquid.
  • Avoid over wetting as this may result in a water mark.

Caution: Pretest the cleaning method on a hidden area of the sofa. If change in colour, or transfer do not continue.

Pilling

  • Pilling can occur occasionally as a result of normal daily wear and should
    not be considered a fault.
  • Fibre pills can be removed with a battery operated pilling tool, available from most haberdashery stores.

    Generous comfort that’s too good to share.

    Sink in, solo style.

    Feel the full embrace of comfort

    The Getaway Sofa armchair features oversized covers that create a relaxed, wrinkled effect over time and feather-like microfibre fill that sits heavy so you can get the true sink-in sensation.

    It’s part of our first sofa range with seat cushions made with foam and now springs — quite possibly our comfiest yet. (Don’t tell the others).

    Storage? Sorted.

    It’s the seat that doubles as a linen closet, toy basket and junk drawer. The generously sized timber drawer gives you extra storage without taking up extra space.

    Upgrade to luxe living

    Upgrade to the Luxe edition for premium finishes and detailing, solid ash drawer front, and exclusive linen made from recycled fibres that are ridiculously soft to the touch.

    Family-proof, made to last

    The Getaway Sofa armchair is supported by a high quality steel frame and lightweight suspension fabric inner frame, all wrapped up with our Koala exclusive fabric that’s built to last, including stain resistance on Penguin Parade and Choppy Waves colours.

      Squeaky but comfortable

      I do love this seat. Super comfy and large.

      Like all other Koala products I have (Sofa bed and Bed frame) they end up squeaking a lot when you move on them which is disappointing, but otherwise this is a lovely seat with drawer.

      Brilliant little armchair

      I really enjoy this armchair. It’s a great 1.5 sitting size (or 2 if you really want to cuddle up and remove one of the side cushions! I appreciate the ability to put it together yourself without tools needed. All the pieces were there and the stuffing in the cushions is pretty decent. I probably took less than an hour to unpack each component and then put it all together.

      You might want to put some anti slip matting between the base cushion and the bottom frame, because the cushion does slip a bit. The back cushion could also do with a bit more lumbar padding rather than being a flat design. The drawer underneath is also very handy but it’s not on rails. Rather it just fits under the chair and has a set of wheels to run on. I see why they designed it, but it’s a tiny bit budget. However the build of the drawer itself is very beautiful and nicely finished, so I appreciate the effort in that.

      Don’t be tempted to rest your backside on the arms like you would other sofas, because they are just inserts and not part of the solid frame.

      Overall really nice armchair. It’s got a bit more too it and is the envy of many friends of mine who just love to sink into it with a cup of something and a book!

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does it take to use the seat cushion?

    Although you can use the product almost straight away, we recommend that you give the seat a few hours to decompress before use. It can take a few days for the product to fully expand to the proper size and recover to its correct comfort level.

    Can you remove the entire sofa cover or just the cushion covers?

    Covers should not be removed for cleaning. Please follow the care instructions in the upkeep of the sofa and you will be able to maintain the new condition of your fabric sofa for many years to come. If you have any questions about the upkeep of your piece, don’t hesitate to get in touch and our team will be happy to help.

    How do I maintain my cushions?

    We have engineered life laid back comfort into Getaway for maximum slouchability. And, unlike many other places that sell "comfort" , Getaway gets-away from needing any animal feathers in the cushions like duck or geese. After a period of use, a quick floof up and dressing of the cushion will have the sofa looking great.
