Sofa against radiator?

[fairy!]

Is it ok to put my sofa infront of a radiator? Or will it block heat? I think it will... but I also think it'll be a mission to move a radiator!! Xx

You will be heating the back of your sofa and nothing else.

Have another think about your furniture layout.

Our sofa is in front of the radiator and it might take a wee bit longer to heat but it does heat the room up - better than moving the radiator

Why not move the sofa?

Mines the same, due to the layout of my room I had to put the sofa against a radiator. It does take a little longer to heat up but it still heats the room sufficiently!

Our living room is the same. Try not to push the sofa right against the radiator. Leave a small gap so that the heat disperses easier.
