Sofas

Take your relaxation to new heights with a brand-new sofa! Whether you’re looking for sofas, loveseats, sofa sleepers, sofas with chaises, or futons, we’ll help guide you to the choice that works for you.

Before you begin your search, be sure to measure your space, multiple times (including hallways, stairwells, and doorways) so your purchase is the perfect fit.

Sofas, Loveseats, or Sofa Sleepers

If you’re looking for a comfortable couch that can hold you and a few friends for game night or movie marathons, sectionals are just the ticket. Plus, if you love having your friends stay overnight you can immediately make your living room into a guest room with a sofa sleeper upgrade.

Futons are also another alternative to sofas that make setting up for overnight guests a cinch.

And if you have extra space, consider adding a loveseat in addition to your sofa for additional seating or just a dedicated reading nook that’s just for you.

Chaise Sofas and Reclining Sofas

Looking for something different? Chaise sofas offer you endless lounging opportunities with the extended cushion design.

Reclining sofas expand on the lounging idea and with either power or manual reclining. Simply decide between a reclining sofa or a reclining loveseat (or both?) to add even more comfort to your R&R. Don’t forget to ask about power headrest and lumbar adjustability!

Sofa Inside Basics

Once you know which sofa configuration you want, consider the cushion filling.

Feather/down filling or memory foam is optimal for pure comfort, but feathers require constant maintenance; however, poly-wrapped foam gives you the support you need without fluffing. But if you're looking for an ideal balance of comfort and support with extra bounce, consider innerspring core cushioning. And if you’re not sure about the details of the sofa you want, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Suspension is also key: 8-way hand-tied springs wards off sagging and squeaking and provides the best support. A more affordable alternative with similar support is sinuous spring construction (particularly heavy-weight sinuous springs). Webbed suspension works just as well, but without the bounce of the springs.

Upholstery: Fabric, Leather, or Performance

Sofa fabric choice is another factor to consider:

• Natural fabrics: soft to the touch and look great but will fade with exposure to strong sunlight.
• Synthetic or performance fabrics: more durable, easier to clean, and ideal for children and pet-friendly households—bust the myth about performance fabrics!
• Leather: the most durable and easy to clean with high-end looks. Check out full- or top-grain leather for increased durability.
• Velvet: made of a variety of materials for the most luxurious look and feel. (Is tougher to clean.)
• Linen: high-end look and feel but requires professional cleaning. Recommended for least-used rooms.
• Wool blend: highly-durable and hides stains, however it is hard to care for.
