Short answer: Our swatches are free. You can add up to 8 to one order on our swatches page, and they are delivered to you free within 3 business days.
You then test them at home, in your own light, with your own floor, walls, pets and daily mishaps, before you choose a fabric for a sofa, chair or bed. A fabric that looks right on a screen can look different in a room, and a color can change from morning to evening. A small piece of the real fabric in your hand answers questions that photos cannot, so a swatch order is the cheapest way to avoid choosing a color you regret.

What do you get when you order Cozey swatches?
Our swatches page describes the process in three steps, and these are the facts it states:
- 1. Select your swatches. Choose the fabrics and colors you prefer. The page lets you filter by collection, fabric type and color.
- 2. Get fast and free delivery. Swatches are delivered quickly and free within 3 business days.
- 3. Test your swatches. Try the colors in different lighting, with pet hair or daily mishaps, and see how well they wash.
There is no charge for the swatches or for their delivery. The limit is 8 swatches per order: the page shows a counter (0 / 8) that fills as you tap swatches, then a Continue button.
How do you order swatches?
Ordering takes a few minutes on our swatches page.
- Browse or filter. Scroll the full list, or narrow it by fabric type or color.
- Tap to add. Tap a swatch to add it to your order.
- Watch the counter. The page counts your picks up to 8.
- Continue. Select Continue to finish the order.
If you would like to compare more than 8 shades, narrow your list first (see below) and order the rest once you have seen the first set.
Which fabrics can you order as swatches?
The swatches page lists our sofa and chair fabrics by type. In the United States it labels them with eight fabric labels, shown in the table below.
Those labels are broad. The Chenille label covers more than one weave, and Performance Fabric covers several, so check the product page for the exact fabric name before you decide. For the durability figures behind each fabric, read our sofa fabric types guide and our explanation of performance fabric. As a reference, the Martindale rub counts we publish are 15,000 for bouclé and corduroy, 78,000 for Aquaforte and more than 200,000 for Aquaforte Velvet.

How do you choose which 8 swatches to order?
Start with what the swatch has to help you decide. This is general advice, not a product specification.
- Pick two or three fabrics, not eight colors of one. If you are unsure about the feel of bouclé or chenille, one of each tells you more than five similar shades.
- Pick your leading color plus its neighbours. Choose the shade you like best and the one or two next to it, so you can see the difference side by side.
- Add one safe option. A neutral next to a bolder pick shows you whether the bold color still feels right in daylight.
Our guide to choosing a sofa color and our neutral living room palettes can help you narrow the list before you order.
How do you test a swatch at home?
Our page suggests three tests, and each one is easy to do in a single evening.
- Light. Look at the swatch in morning light, evening light and under lamplight. Hold it where the piece will sit.
- Surroundings. Place it against your floor and wall. Screens and rooms both change how a color looks.
- Daily life. Test the pet hair, mishap and wash points the page lists. Our guide to stain-resistant sofas explains what a label does and does not mean, and our guide on how to clean your sofa covers care by fabric.
Our recommendation
Order swatches before any sofa, sofa bed or bed in a fabric you have not touched. Choose up to 8, spread over two or three fabrics, and judge them in daylight and lamplight next to your floor and wall. When you are ready, see our sofas and match the fabric name on the product page to the swatch you liked.
