What Our Customers Say

“Feels so good to buy Australian, without having to compromise on price and quality. I bought my second lounge from Skyways because the first one was so good. I was able to choose a combination of features that I liked from different lounges on display in the showroom. Made to order, it fits perfectly and is so comfortable. It’s just a shame I won’t don’t have a reason to visit this lovely couple, because I know this lounge will outlast me. Keep up the great work!”

Franceschini Family

“We received delivery of our sofa bed a couple of weeks ago and we are really happy with it: it is a solid piece of furniture, no shortcuts, very well finished! We chose Sir John style, double bed size to fit in a small room. We found the foam seat cushions a bit firm and John did not hesitate to swap the foam for us. Great after sales service! Highly recommended quality product!”

Julie McInerney

“We had 5 couches made when we moved into our house 14 years ago, we have had 2 of the couches recovered and they are fantastic! This year we purchased a leather couch and leather ottoman which was made exactly as we wanted it. We could not recommend Skyways enough and John is fantastic to deal with! The quality is amazing.“

Tom and Tracey W

“Very happy with the sofa-bed we purchased for our guest bedroom a few years ago. Highly recommended for exceptional quality and as promised – no sagging! Friendly family-run business.”

Joanna Sze Lam

“We have been extremely happy with the service Skyways offer. John, Maria and staff have looked after us for over 15 years. We have had new couches made of differing styles and sizes, with the choice of fabric or leather. From chairs, ottomans to five seater couches; no job is too small and nothing is too difficult. They are a great family business who take pride in all their work, offering fabulous services every time!“

Danni Molino

“Cannot recommend Maria, John & their team enough after the experience I had with them recently. After researching sofa beds for almost 3 years!?!? I kept coming back to Skyways. I needed a sofa bed that was going to be super comfortable for longer than the first few sleeps and one that could stand the rigours of being used as our everyday sofa & not sag! I visited them several times and was always impressed with their knowledge, assistance with colours and lack of ‘sales pressure’. After checking out sofa beds all over the place, it became obvious the differences in quality compared to the Skyways sofa beds, so I ordered with them and about 3 weeks later took delivery of our queen sized Jiani sofa bed made right here in Melbourne! It’s perfect, was delivered with care and most importantly is super comfortable and supportive! If you want a great quality sofa bed you have to check them out.“
