Built on a hardwood frame, made to be lived in
The Solaya Black Chenille Armchair is the single-seat version of the Solaya range, finished in the same true black upholstery as the Solaya sofas and measuring W126cm x D97cm x H92cm.
How the Solaya is built
The Solaya is built like a mattress rather than a sofa. A 7cm pocket coil core sits between two layers of high-density foam, so each spring answers the weight above it individually. That is what stops the seat taking a permanent dip where the same person sits every evening — the failure that shows up on an all-foam sofa after a year or two and cannot be fixed once it has happened.
On top of the core sit fiberfill cushions, which give the soft first few centimetres you feel when you sit down. The two layers do different jobs: the fibre is the give, the coils are the support. Plump the fibre cushions every week or so and the sofa keeps the shape it arrived in.
The upholstery is a plush chenille — a looped-pile weave with real texture that catches light differently across the surface, so a large piece like the corner reads as one continuous run rather than a flat block of colour. The frame is 97cm deep and 92cm tall across every piece in the range.
Order the corner, armchair and footstool together if you want them to match exactly. Chenille takes dye unevenly between production batches, and a separate order placed weeks later can come from a different dye lot — visible when two pieces sit side by side under the same lamp.
Where the Black Solaya armchair works
Black anchors a light room and hides everyday marks better than any other finish. Set it against pale walls with a cream or oatmeal rug so the contrast does the work, and break up the mass with textured throws in bone or camel.

Frequently asked questions
Does the price include delivery? Yes — two-man delivery to your room of choice on the UK mainland is included, with no separate charge at checkout.
Will it match the Solaya sofas? Yes. The armchair uses the same fabric, arm profile and cushion construction as the sofas in the same colour.
How do I clean it? Vacuum chenille on low suction with an upholstery attachment; a beater head pulls loops out of the pile. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth rather than rubbing, which frays the loops permanently. Plump the fibre cushions weekly and rotate them so wear spreads evenly. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades chenille faster than a flat weave, and never use bleach-based cleaners.
Dimensions are approximate and measured at the widest points. Fabric colour may vary slightly between screens and batches.
Sofas held in stock are delivered across the UK within 1–10 days by our specialist two-person team, who carry the sofa to your room of choice and take all packaging away.
If a size or colour is showing as available to order, the expected back-in-stock date and delivery window are shown next to the price above and updated as our stock schedule changes.
Before you order, please measure. Check the width and height of doorways, hallways, stairwells and any tight turns on the route to the room. Most of our sofas arrive in sections or with removable feet, but corner and U-shape units are large single pieces — the dimensions for each part are listed under Dimensions below.
Full dimensions for this model are listed in the description above. Measurements are taken at the widest and deepest points including arms and cushions, and may vary by up to 2cm as every frame is finished by hand.
Assembly is minimal — typically the feet screw on by hand and corner or modular sections clip together. No tools are needed for most models. Recliner and electric models are supplied ready to use; simply connect the supplied transformer to a standard socket.
Velvet
Brush the pile gently in one direction and vacuum on a low upholstery setting every couple of weeks. Blot spills immediately with a clean dry cloth — never rub, as this crushes the pile. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Bouclé & Chenille
Vacuum with an upholstery brush, never a beater bar, which can pull the loops. Snagged loops should be trimmed level with scissors, not pulled. Blot spills with a barely damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Genuine Leather
Dust weekly with a dry microfibre cloth and condition every 6–12 months with a quality leather cream to keep the hide supple. Keep at least 30cm from radiators and direct heat sources, which dry and crack the surface.
PU & Faux Leather
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid solvents, bleach, alcohol wipes and abrasive cleaners. Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
All fabrics
Rotate and plump loose seat and back cushions weekly so they wear evenly. Foam and fibre fillings settle by up to 10% in the first few months — this is normal and not a fault.
Every sofa carries a 5-year guarantee on the frame and a 1-year guarantee on the mechanism, springs and electrics against manufacturing faults.
