The Parker Knoll Michigan 25 2 Seater Sofa is designed for people who want proper, supportive comfort every day - not just something that looks good online.
With its high back, upright posture and generously cushioned seat, Michigan is ideal if you prefer structured support rather than soft, slouchy lounging. Customers often choose this model for its excellent lumbar support, ease of sitting and standing, and comfort during longer periods of use - whether that’s reading, watching TV or relaxing in the evening.
Handmade in Britain by Parker Knoll’s skilled craftsmen, the Michigan is built on a solid hardwood frame with premium upholstery fillings, designed to hold their shape and comfort over time - making it a strong choice for everyday living, not occasional use.
Is this sofa right for your room?
The Michigan 25 2 Seater works particularly well in:
- Living rooms where space is at a premium
- Apartments and smaller homes
- Snugs, studies or secondary seating areas
- As part of a matching Michigan suite
Its upright profile and compact footprint mean it doesn’t dominate the room while still offering full back and shoulder support.

Fabric durability & lifestyle guidance
The Michigan is available in a wide range of hardwearing fabrics and premium leathers, allowing you to tailor durability to your lifestyle.
-
For busy households or pets: Choose tightly woven fabrics or leather for easier cleaning and resistance to wear
-
For occasional use or formal rooms: Softer textures and lighter tones work beautifully
-
For long-term durability: Ask about high-rub-count fabrics and stain-resistant finishes
If you’re unsure, our team can guide you through fabric samples so you can see and feel them at home before deciding.
