Furnishing a property you rent out is a different job to furnishing your own front room. It needs to look good in the listing photos, cope with guest after guest, wipe clean in the ten minutes you have between check-out and check-in, and cost little enough that replacing a piece never keeps you up at night. Designer showroom prices make no sense here. Solid, comfortable, sensibly priced furniture does.
That is exactly what Alec's has sold for over forty years. We are a clearance sofa and bed warehouse in Bolton, so you buy the same quality the high-street chains sell, at a fraction of the price, and you can buy it a piece at a time as each room needs it rather than being pushed into an expensive all-in-one package. Sofa for the living room, bed and mattress for each bedroom, an armchair to fill a corner. Pick what you need, we deliver it, done.
Everything we sell carries the permanent UK fire-safety label the law requires in let and rental properties, so you stay compliant without having to think about it. And because we run our own delivery vans across the North West, turnaround is quick, which matters when a booking is looming.
The things that actually matter when the furniture has to work for paying guests, not just look nice for a weekend.

Sofas & Seating
£100 to £250
Sturdy 2 and 3 seaters plus armchairs in practical fabric and leather. The kind of seating that survives back-to-back guests and still photographs well.
Full Suites

Matching 3+2 sets for bigger living rooms and family lets. The kind of suite that costs £1,500+ new from the chains, for a fraction of the price.

The questions hosts and landlords ask before kitting out a property, answered straight.
Yes, and plenty of hosts do. Alec's is a clearance sofa and bed warehouse in Bolton, which makes it a natural fit for Airbnbs, holiday cottages, HMOs and rental properties. You get hardwearing, comfortable furniture at prices low enough that furnishing several rooms, or several properties, stays affordable. Sofas start from £100, and beds, mattresses, headboards and armchairs are all in stock. Buy a single piece or a whole property's worth, whatever you need.
Yes. Upholstered furniture supplied in let and rental accommodation in the UK must comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and carry the permanent fire-safety label. This applies to sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses and headboards. Every item we sell carries that label, so furnishing your property with Alec's keeps you compliant without any extra hassle. If you ever need to see the label on a specific item, just ask and we'll show you.
For back-to-back guest use, leather and faux-leather are hard to beat because they wipe clean in seconds and shrug off spills. For a softer look that still lasts, tightly woven hardwearing fabrics and darker or patterned colours hide marks well between deep cleans. We'll point you towards the practical options on the floor rather than the delicate showroom pieces. The goal is a sofa that still looks good after a hundred check-ins.
Far less than most people expect. At Alec's, a sturdy 2 or 3 seater sofa starts from £100, full 3+2 suites from around £200, and beds, mattresses and headboards are all at clearance prices. That means the living room and a bedroom can often be furnished for a few hundred pounds rather than a few thousand. Because you buy piece by piece, you can spread the cost across rooms and only pay for what each property actually needs.
Yes. We regularly help landlords and letting agents furnishing multiple units, HMOs and portfolios. We can put together coordinated sofas and beds across several properties, all fire-safety labelled, and give you a price that reflects the volume. Ring us on 01204 387987 to talk through what you're furnishing and we'll sort it. Deliveries can go to different addresses across the North West.
Absolutely. There are no forced packages and no minimum spend. If a property just needs one sofa, or a couple of beds and mattresses, that's exactly what you buy. Kit out one room now and come back for the next when you're ready. It's a much more flexible way to furnish a let than the fixed all-in-one bundles other suppliers push.
Quickly. We run our own delivery vans across Greater Manchester and the North West, so most in-stock items can be with you the same week, and often within a day or two when booked early. That matters when there's a check-in on the calendar. Delivery is £45 anywhere in the North West, and our team brings the furniture into the room you want it, not just to the kerb.
Yes. As well as sofas and suites, we stock divan bases, mattresses and headboards in every UK size, from singles for box rooms to super kings for the master bedroom, plus sofa beds for squeezing an extra sleeping space into a studio or living room. It means you can furnish the whole property, living room and bedrooms, from one place in one trip. Browse the beds range or sofa beds to see what's in.

We deliver across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Merseyside, covering Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Salford, Preston, Blackburn, Liverpool and the surrounding towns.
