Choosing furniture is more than picking shapes and colours. The brands behind the piece determines the comfort, durability and how well they hold after years of use. Valentines furniture has built its 80 year reputation on a carefully curated range of high quality furniture brands that prioritise comfort, design and craftsmanship. Every piece is selected for longevity rather than short-term trends.
Here’s a closer look at the trusted names you’ll find at Valentines Furniture and what makes each one stand out.
Founded in Norway and developed by Ekornes in 1971, Stressless has become one of the most recognised names in ergonomic seating worldwide. The brand is known for its precision engineering and patented comfort systems that allow the chair to respond naturally to body movement.
Furniture stores like Valentines Furniture are at the forefront of this change, with their collections reflecting a modern rustic approach. A good example is their Bordeaux Dining Table, a solid timber dining table that's grounded yet refined enough to fit in a contemporary space.
Stressless recliners and lounge chairs such as the Mayfair are designed to reduce pressure on the spine and neck while maintaining clean Scandinavian lines. The result is furniture that looks refined yet feels exceptionally supportive during long periods of sitting.
La-Z-Boy is an iconic American furniture brand with nearly a century of history. Founded in 1927 in Monroe, Michigan, by cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker, it introduced one of the first reclining chairs designed for home use and comfort.
Over the decades, the brand has expanded into sofas, modular lounges and motion seating built around comfort and reliability. La-Z-Boy pieces are practical and family-friendly. Deep cushioning, smooth reclining mechanisms and flexible configurations make them well-suited to everyday living rooms.
Famous examples at Valentines Furniture include the Vermont, which offers plush cushioning and ergonomic seating angle and Harbour Town, a contemporary take on the classic recliner.
Originating from Norway, IMG brings a Scandinavian approach to seating, balancing simplicity with functional support. The brand’s designs prioritise clean lines and practical ergonomics, making them suitable for contemporary interiors.
Rather than oversized or bulky forms, IMG sofas, namely the Liberty Sofa, focus on proportion and everyday usability. They fit easily into both contemporary and classic homes while delivering consistent comfort.
For buyers who appreciate established Australian names, Moran Furniture has been a presence in homes for decades. Founded in Melbourne in the 1950s, the brand is famous for its well-proportioned sofas, such as the Brittania, that feel familiar and welcoming.
With classic styling, the pieces age well and do not go out of fashion quickly. Moran furniture comes in a wide range of fabrics and finishes, making it easy to customise furniture to suit your space.
Garstone is a family-owned Australian manufacturer based in Brisbane, specialising in premium lounge furniture. The brand focuses on robust construction, supportive seating and quality materials that stand up to daily use.
Each piece feels substantial without being heavy, making Garstone a strong option for households that want locally made furniture built for long-term comfort. A good example is the Garstone Seabrook, which can be configured to suit your living room, compact or large.
Weave takes a different approach by specialising in upholstery fabrics and soft furnishings. Established in the 1960s, the brand is known for durable, high-quality textiles with rich texture and colour.
These fabrics are used across many personalised pieces at Valentines Furniture, helping sofas and chairs maintain their look and performance over time. From textured linens and performance blends to deeper weaves, Warwick Fabrics continue to bring a noticeable difference to quality.
Choosing from recognised brands helps make long-term furniture decisions easier. Each brand brought to the floor at Valentines Furniture carries a reputation built over the years. You can tailor your selections to your lifestyle and your living room’s needs.
