A NEW sofa can cost thousands of pounds – especially if you’re looking for a particular size or one from a reputable brand.

But one woman has explained how she managed to get her dream sofa for just £315… by buying it on Temu.

In a video on TikTok, Miiya admitted she was terrified the sofa was going to be more like a large dog bed – especially when she saw the size of the two boxes it arrived it.

But as she started unwrapping it, she realised her fears were actually unfounded, and it ended up being a “really big” sofa.

In the next video, Miiya showed what it looked like set up, as she said she can even jump on it without any concerns it’s going to fall apart.

“It was looking suspicious at first because it was like all wrinkly but it’s sturdy – it has a lot of support and it’s giving like cloud couch but on the low low, like cheap.

In fact, the sofa is so comfy that every time Miiya gets on the sofa, she ends up falling asleep.

And as another bonus, Miiya’s cat hasn’t seemed interested in scratching the new couch like he would any other.

“I don’t know if it’s gets dirty easily,” she admitted, adding she doesn’t “want to test it out”.

But if it does get dirty, everything is “unzippable”, and “you can wash everything” too.

Miiya also splashed out on a new coffee table and a dresser from Temu, but said she was going to have to get a carpenter to assemble those and they need proper building.

“How much was it?” was, unsurprisingly, the first comment on the video.

To which Miiya replied that she’d paid £315 ($400), but the manufacturers had upper their price following the success of her video, which has been watched almost four million times.  

“I am all Temu…but girl I never knew they had couches!” another person added in the comments.

“That couch is super cute and huge!”

“Yess girl, they have a lot of resale couches,” Miiya replied.

“Like they are from popular brands but sold cheaper.”

“My couch is from Temu and I am obsessed!” a third admitted.

“My whole apartment is Temu furniture including my couch,” someone else said.

“This is making me reconsider all previous Temu couch videos and now I want one,” another admitted.

As someone else added: “I wanna see all of the Temu furniture!

“Thank you so much for sharing.”
