Our verdict on each
COLAMY
COLAMY sells direct from an entity registered in Germany, with chairs from €199.99, free delivery and a 3 year warranty. It suits buyers who know the chair they want, would rather order online than visit a showroom, and want a home office set up quickly.
Laybrook
Laybrook suits anyone buying an adjustable bed or armchair in a single market, with assembly and old mattress removal included in the order. The trade-off is timing, because quoted delivery runs 3.4 to 4.2 weeks, so the room gets planned around the order date.

Pros and cons
COLAMY
Pros
- Priced from €199.99 with free delivery and a €0 threshold, so a single chair costs the same as a second one
- Delivery time of 0 weeks, which ranks 1 of 50 brands on speed
- 3 year warranty, level with the office chair category median of 3 years
Cons
- Assembly included is a no, so you put the chair together yourself and the €199.99 entry price covers the chair alone
- The range is office chairs, dining and armchairs, so anyone wanting a sofa or a bed looks at Dublino Moebel instead
- Warranty of 3 years is shorter than the longest terms in the office chair category
Laybrook
Pros
- The in-home trial gives you 14 days with a mattress in your own room, and the return fee is £0, so a change of mind costs nothing.
- Firmness runs soft, medium and firm and mattresses cover memory foam and innerspring, so two people can order different feels in a single basket.
- Assembly is included in the order, so the base goes up on delivery day without a separate fitter booking.
Cons
- Delivery of 3.4 to 4.2 weeks is far slower than the 1 week figure most of the site sits at or under.
- The 14 day in-home trial is well short of the 60 night median trial length across the site.
- Warranty cover of 1 to 5 years tops out at the 5 year site median rather than beating it.
Who each suits
COLAMY
Who it suits
- Home office buyers who know the chair type they want and would rather order online
- Anyone fitting out a study or spare room who values free delivery over a showroom visit
- Buyers in the markets COLAMY ships to who want a supplier based in Germany
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want assembly built in, since assembly included is a no at COLAMY
- Bedding or sofa shoppers, who will find beds, bed frames and armchairs at CuddleCo
- People who want to try a chair at home first, since the in home trial period is 0 days
Laybrook
Who it suits
- Shoppers placing an adjustable bed and a matching armchair in one order, since beds and armchairs covers both.
- Couples who want different feels, because firmness runs soft, medium and firm and mattresses cover memory foam and innerspring.
- Buyers who would rather have assembly and mattress removal handled for them than a fast delivery window.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after sofas or dining as well as beds, who would cover more ground at Dublino Moebel (sofas, armchairs and beds).
- Buyers who want one basket to hold a whole room, since CuddleCo (beds, bed frames and armchairs) adds bed frames, storage and dining alongside beds.
- Anyone focused on work or gaming seating, who should look at buerostuhl24 Bürostühle und Büromöbel (office chairs, gaming chairs and standing desks) for standing desks and gaming chairs.

Questions about each
COLAMY
How much does a COLAMY chair cost?+
Prices start at €199.99 for the range covering office chairs, dining and armchairs. Free delivery is included and the free delivery threshold is €0, so the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. There are no delivery fees and no minimum order value.
Is there a membership or a plan I have to renew?+
COLAMY sells individual pieces rather than subscriptions, so there is no introductory price that later turns into a renewal charge. You pay at the point of order, and the 3 year warranty runs alongside the piece rather than being tied to a plan.
Laybrook
How much is the cheapest Laybrook bed?+
Laybrook lists beds and armchairs, with prices starting at £599. That is the entry figure for the range, so treat it as the floor for a new bed rather than a temporary offer. A queen mattress sits on its own line at £552.50, so budget the two separately if you want both.
How long does delivery take, and is it free?+
Laybrook quotes delivery of 3.4 to 4.2 weeks, which is at the slow end of the field we compare. Free delivery is included and the threshold for it is set at £0, so there is no minimum spend to unlock it. Plan the room around that window rather than the week you order.
