According to a new survey by Sofa Club, far more people are swapping the desk for the sofa than you might think – and when the temperature soars, the sofa becomes the coolest place to work.
Across a series of Instagram polls, Sofa Club asked thousands of followers about their working-from-home habits. The findings might just make employers raise an eyebrow:
- 59% admit to working from the sofa rather than a traditional desk.
- During a heatwave, 78% say they always work from the sofa.
- And when asked about the best hot-weather setup, 66% preferred a sofa-and-fan combo over a desk with an iced drink.
“The data shows what we’ve suspected all along – the sofa is more than just a place to relax,” says [Spokesperson Name], spokesperson for Sofa Club. “It’s a place where emails are sent, meetings are attended, and deadlines are smashed – especially when the sun is blazing outside.”
Sofa Club’s Top Tips for Staying Cool Indoors During a Heatwave:
- Maximise airflow – position a fan near a window to pull in cooler air.
- Use breathable fabrics – swap heavy throws for light cotton or linen covers.
- Stay hydrated – keep a cold drink within reach to beat dehydration.
- Block the sun – close blinds or curtains during peak sun hours to keep rooms shaded.
- Take screen breaks – step away from devices to avoid overheating and eye strain.
Whether it’s comfort, convenience, or the allure of the living room breeze, it’s clear the sofa isn’t just for Netflix anymore – it’s the UK’s unofficial workstation of choice when the mercury rises.
