The 12 Best Couches of 2023 for Style and Comfort
Couches are often used as the focal point of indoor living spaces, as they give you somewhere to sit, lounge, and socialize. They also come in a wide range of options, which means "buying a sofa is almost like buying a mattress," explains Jessie Neuman of Numi Interior Design. When looking for a new couch, you want to consider how many people will be using it on a regular basis, what kind of fabric will work best with your household, and the overall style of your space.
With that in mind, we tested and evaluated products on their construction, upholstery options, aesthetic, special features, and overall value. We know that buying a couch has a lot to do with personal style, so we've rounded up options that will fit into spaces big or small, classic or modern, formal or informal.

High-Tech Customizable Seating: Burrow Nomad Sofa
What We Like
Several customization options
Stain-resistant upholstery
Built-in USB charger
Easy to assemble
What We Don't Like
If you’re looking for a well-made sofa that you can easily customize to fit your home, the Burrow Nomad Sofa is the way to go. It comes in five different stain-resistant upholstery colors, and you can personalize a variety of other features, including the leg finish, arm shape, and cushion style. You can also add on a moveable chaise, matching ottoman, or lumbar pillows to complete the setup.
This sofa has a sturdy birch frame and triple-layer foam and fiber cushions that deliver a plush yet supportive feel. It has a USB charger integrated into one of the arms—one of our tester’s favorite features—and thanks to its modular design, you can expand or shorten the sofa if needed.
Burrow makes its furniture in America, and the brand uses sustainably sourced wood and fabric from upcycled materials. It ships to your door in compact, easy-to-lift boxes, though you must assemble the sofa yourself. However, the good news is that it doesn’t require any tools thanks to the brand’s unique latching system. (It also comes apart just as easily in case you need to move it somewhere else.)

What Our Testers Say
"As a military family member, I am always considering how versatile a piece of furniture will be in another home. I never know if we will have a large family room or just a small space, so I tend to avoid bulky or oddly shaped furniture. I assembled the Nomad using all three seats, but I could easily shorten it to a loveseat configuration if needed."—Katie Melynn, Product Tester

Sleek mid-century modern style
Removable cushions and covers
Durable kiln-dried wood frame
What We Don’t Like
You’ll make your living room feel elegant and luxurious with the Article Sven Sofa. Covered in a layer of cotton-blend velvet in the color of your choice, this sofa makes a statement with its clean lines, tufted bench seat and back cushions, and round bolster pillows. Available in a number of different color choices, it stands out whether you opt for a cool blue or standout gold. And it’s comfy to relax on, too, thanks to the foam-padded and fiber- and feather-filled cushions. You can even remove the covers as needed for easy cleaning. Plus, the fabric has undergone the Martindale test to survive 50,000 rubs.
In addition to its comfort and style, this velvet couch is also built with a durable solid wood frame. However, over time, its cushions may require fluffing as wear happens. Additionally, while you can remove the cushion covers for cleaning, they can’t be tossed in the wash; they need to be dry cleaned. Overall, though, these small details don’t detract from the couch’s many perks.

Clean, modern lines and styling
Medium-firm supportive cushions
Versatile enough for any aesthetic
What We Don’t Like
With enough room for three people, retro mid-century modern styling and tweed upholstery, and solid, sturdy construction, Mercury Row’s Isley Upholstered Sofa is a great all-around pick. But best of all, this couch comes with an affordable price tag that packs plenty of value. Its versatile styling looks great in almost any living room, with button-tufted back cushions, crisp square arms, and wood cone legs. The cushions offer a good balance of comfort and support thanks to their medium-firm density and sinuous spring construction. A solid and manufactured wood frame offers long-term sturdiness and support, and the deeper seat is popular among taller customers.
However, you don’t have a lot of customization choices when it comes to this budget-friendly couch. It’s only available in one shade of tweed, and only one type of fabric. Some assembly is required, but customers report that it’s not too lengthy of a process (or too challenging!)–you may not even find that you need tools to get this sofa together.

Leather furniture is prized for its high-end appearance and easy-to-clean fabric, and the Pottery Barn Turner Leather Sofa is a well-made piece that could be in your family for years to come. This leather sofa has a modern yet timeless design with square arms and block legs, and there are four sizes to choose from, ranging from 64.5 to 103.5 inches wide. Plus, there are several dozen top-grain leather colors, allowing you to find the perfect match for your decor.
This high-end sofa has deep seats that are ideal for curling up in, and its down-blend cushions offer cloud-like comfort at the end of a long day. It has a kiln-dried hardwood frame for extreme durability, and the adjustable levelers on the legs prevent it from wobbling on uneven floors. The high-quality leather used on these sofas will develop a burnished patina over time, but keep in mind that certain leather finishes are made-to-order and take longer for delivery—sometimes 17 weeks or more.

If you love the casual look of slipcovered couches, the Neva Sofa is luxurious yet comfortable. It comes in 72- or 84-inch lengths and the design features narrow armrests and a single bench cushion. The loose slipcover comes in a variety of natural fabrics, including cotton canvas, linen, and velvet, and it has oversized French seams along the edges for added flair. Several upholstery options are ready to ship and will arrive in just a few weeks, but if you want a made-to-order piece, the production time could be between 14 to 16 weeks.
In addition to its chic aesthetic, the Neva Sofa is exceptionally well-made. It has a kiln-dried hardwood frame with both webbing and sinuous spring suspension, and you can choose from feather down or poly fill cushions, both of which have high-density foam in the middle for support.

Chaise can be positioned on either side
Back cushions can be raised for adjustable comfort
Large enough to lay down
What We Don’t Like
If you’re searching for a couch that’ll adapt to your needs, living room setup, and comfort, Ikea’s SLATORP Sofa can step up! This couch is surprisingly adjustable and adaptable, giving you options when it comes to everyday comfort. Built with a chaise lounge, you can choose which side that chaise is positioned on and switch it up whenever you want something different. The high back on this couch is extra-comfortable for those seeking extra neck support, and as an added perk, the back cushions can be adjusted and moved to change the seat depth and your level of back support. And the foam inside each cushion offers a good amount of firmness for those who prefer some bounce over an extra-plush couch.
Just keep in mind that the light color of this couch’s upholstery can attract dirt and stains–and they can be pretty visible if it’s seeing a lot of wear. The upholstery also isn’t the most durable material, and it can show spots of wear under heavy use. This couch’s adjustable nature makes it quite handy and comfortable, but keep in mind that it’s a better choice for homes with less traffic or rugged use.

Modular couches give you plenty of room to relax and lounge, and they’re super handy if you ever need to change up the configuration, add extra seats, or simply rearrange your seating for a new space. Albany Park’s Kova L-Shape Sofa + Ottoman duo is easy to customize, versatile in its options, and wonderfully comfortable. With a kiln-dried hardwood frame that’s built to last plus removable and reversible back and seat cushions, you’ll get just the right combination of support and plush comfort from this couch. It gives you space to sit, put your feet up, and even lay down comfortably thanks to the feather-fiber cushion blend, wedding and spring suspension, and foam-topped base.
Plus, this modular couch is easy to put together. It arrives in pieces that are easy to lift, attach, and move around as needed for any space. You can add extras over time or swap the layout for a refresh. As a result, assembly is required–but we love that it’s totally customizable.

Lark Manor Rasberry Rolled Arm Sofa Bed Review
What We Like
Good selection of leather colors
Firm but comfortable seat cushions
Supportive queen-sized mattress
What We Don’t Like
For a comfortable sofa that doubles as a sleeping spot for out-of-town guests, you can’t go wrong with the Lark Manor Rasberry Sofa Bed. It has a traditional silhouette with rolled arms and three seat cushions, and it’s finished in genuine leather that's available in more than a dozen colors. Plus, when you need an extra bed, the sofa pulls out into a queen-size innerspring mattress, which our tester described as comfortable and supportive. However, our tester noted that the 350-pound weight limit for the bed could cause your guests to feel the structure of the frame. (You can always add a mattress topper to give it a more plush feel.)
Because it houses a mattress, this sofa is heavier than many similarly sized options, and you’ll likely need two people to move it. Our tester liked that the back is covered with leather, allowing it to be styled in the middle of the room if needed, and it has a seated weight capacity of 750 pounds, which should be more than enough to comfortably seat two adults. Certain leather finishes may take a month or two to ship to your home, but overall, it’s a well-priced, versatile sofa that could make a useful addition to your living space.

What Our Testers Say
“One person can easily set up and close this sofa bed. The cushions have a tight fit, so they don’t slide around while you’re using the sofa, yet they’re quick to remove. There’s a single handle in the middle of the bed for pulling the mattress out.”—Stacey L. Nash, Product Tester

What We Like
Wide selection of upholstery fabrics and colors
Plush and comfortable bench cushion
Can customize in multiple ways
What We Don’t Like
A loveseat can be the perfect fit in a small living room, studio apartment, or even office in need of extra seating. The Winslow Loveseat from Interior Define is a great pick for any small space, as this two-person couch is compact yet elegant, subtle and soft. It features gentle curves and soft corners so it doesn’t take up a lot of space, with slimmed-down arms and clean lines. For comfort, there’s a nicely medium-firm bench cushion, and you can opt for either a 24-inch or 29-inch seat depth, depending on your preferences and available space. Every one of these loveseats is made to order, so you can customize your couch in multiple ways for the perfect fit.
However, it’s important to note that because the Winslow Loveseat can be customized from its seat comfort to its seat height to its upholstery, there’s a somewhat limited return window if you aren’t happy with the final result. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but worth keeping in mind as you place your order.

What We Don't Like
You can kick up your feet—literally—in the cozy Raymour & Flannigan Stanton Wallaway Reclining Sofa. It seats up to three people, and the two end seats have two-position manual recliners that allow you to lean back and relax. Plus, unlike many recliners that bump into objects behind them, this sofa has a wall-hugging design that only needs 4 inches of clearance to lean back.
This reclining sofa is available in three colors, including a soft chenille. It has classic rolled arms and edge piping for a defined appearance, and it even comes with two throw pillows for styling. Pull-cups on either end allow you to engage the recliner, and the hardwood frame can support up to 250 pounds in each seat.

Removable and reversible cushions
26 inches of seat depth
Sinuous spring cushions offer support
What We Don’t Like
If you want a couch that welcomes you with plush, deep seats, Wayfair’s Emilio Upholstered Sofa will fit the bill. Featuring a seat depth of 26 inches, plus removable and reversible cushions, this spacious sofa offers enough room to really sit back and relax–and lay down! The foam-filled cushions are constructed with sinuous springs for a mix of support and plushness, and they’re less prone to sagging over time. An extra four toss pillows are included for extra lounge comfort (and some style, too.) We also like the fact that the seat and back cushion covers are all removable and easy to clean.
When you’re building your ideal deep-seated couch, just keep in mind that this Wayfair model does offer a number of different fabric upholstery options. While many options are highly durable and even built to be stain- and water-resistant, not all fabrics are this tough. Some may be more delicate and prone to wear, so think about your lifestyle when choosing a fabric (and read the fine print on your top picks!)

Final Verdict
If you're looking for a couch that's stylish, comfortable, and versatile, go with the Burrow Block Nomad Sofa. It has a unique modular design and allows you to customize its fabric, legs, armrest shape, and more–and this particular piece can grow with you over time, making your intial investment one that really pays off. For those on a budget, the Winston Porter Bennith Round Arm Loveseat is compact and inexpensive, yet it only comes in one color.
The Spruce / Angelica LeichSize
Before you start shopping, it’s important to measure the space where you want your couch to go. There’s nothing more frustrating than falling in love with a piece of furniture, only to discover it won’t fit in the room.
"Size really matters when it comes to buying a sofa, something too big or too small for your room can really affect the flow of your space," says Neuman. "It should fill the room nicely and feel inviting, but it should never feel like it's overwhelming your space. I like to always do the blue tape test. Buy yourself some blue painter's tape at any hardware store and tape out the dimensions of the sofa on the floor so you get a good idea of how it will feel in the space. "
Also, be sure to measure the doorways and any stairs leading to the room. You’ll want to make sure there’s clearance to fit every piece of the couch into the room.
Type
There are a few common types of couches and sofas that you’ll encounter when shopping. We’ll go into more details about each kind below, but here are the basics you should know.
First, there are standard sofas, which are one straight line and typically between 72- and 84-inches long. These can generally seat three or four people, and they come in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points. Similarly, you’ll find loveseats, which are essentially small couches, measuring 48- to 72-inches long. Loveseats can comfortably seat two people—hence their name—and are a great solution for smaller spaces. Some people like to have a matching sofa and loveseat for a cohesive look in their living room.
Today, sectionals are an incredibly popular style of couch. These modular couches are made up of more than one piece, and they’re commonly L- or U-shaped. Sectionals provide more seating, making them a good solution for large families or big rooms.
There are also sleeper sofas, which transform into a temporary bed, as well as reclining sofas. Your style options may be more limited if you choose one of these specialty couches, but there are still an impressive range of options available at numerous price points.
Bailey Mariner / The Spruce
Style
One of the most challenging parts of buying a couch can be finding a style you like. There are hundreds of styles available today, but here's a rundown of the most popular styles you may want to consider.
- Mid-century: features clean lines, simple legs, and a low profile
- Chesterfield: features rolled arms, tufted back, and often made of leather
- Lawson: features a boxy shape and detached cushions, and prioritizes comfort
- Bridgewater (also called English roll arm): has low arms that lean outward and is very cushy
- Tuxedo: features a boxy shape and its arms are the same height as its back
- Contemporary: modern, unique, and often unconventional
- Camelback: features a curved back with a “hump” in the middle, as well as high arms
- Scandinavian: popularized by IKEA, has clean lines and is minimalistic
- Settee: a specialty loveseat with a high back and shallow depth
- Chaise: an asymmetrical design with just one arm
These are some of the most common couch and sofa styles, but there are many variations of each. As you shop, you’ll want to take note of which features you like and which styles will look best with your existing decor.
Materials
What your couch is made from will not only dictate its appearance, but its durability, ease of cleaning, and more. The first thing you’ll want to consider is the frame material, as a sturdy frame will ensure your sofa lasts for years. Avoid materials like particleboard and plastic, which can warp or break easily. Pine is a low-cost option for frames, but it won’t last as long as a hardwood such as oak, ash, or beech. To test the frame of a sofa, lift one corner up 6 inches off the ground—the other leg should lift up, as well. If it doesn’t, the frame is likely too flexible and prone to warping or breaking.
You’ll also want to consider the filling of a sofa’s cushions. Perhaps the most comfortable, long-lasting option is high-resilient foam, but this can be quite expensive. Polyurethane foam is a popular option thanks to its low cost and ease of care, but you’ll want to make sure it’s a higher density; otherwise, it may deteriorate over time. Polyester fiber is another inexpensive option, but it flattens quickly, so only choose this option if you're looking for a short-term furniture solution. There’s also high-end goose down fill, which is incredibly comfortable, but extremely expensive and requires a lot of maintenance.
Finally, you’ll need to consider the upholstery material, and be sure to weigh both appearance and functionality. If your couch will be getting a lot of use, you’ll need a tough, durable fabric to ensure it lasts for years to come. Here are some of the most popular fabric options and their benefits:
- Leather: durable and easy to clean, but expensive and can fade over time
- Faux leather: durable and easy to clean, but not as long-lasting as real leather
- Cotton: soft and somewhat durable, but stains and wrinkles easily
- Linen: beautiful and upscale, but hard to care for and soils easily
- Microfiber/polyester: soft, durable, easy to clean, and inexpensive
- Chenille: soft and luxe, but hard to clean
- Velvet: soft and stylish, but also trendy
Comfort
Another key consideration when purchasing a sofa is whether it’s comfortable! It’s hard to gauge whether a couch will be comfortable if you’re buying online, so if you’re able to see the piece in person, you should always do so.
"Depending on how much you will be using it, its comfort is both important and subjective to each person," says Neuman. "Some clients love the loose fluffy feeling of down feathers on a sofa, while others prefer for the structure of foam fill. "
When testing a couch for comfort, you should sit and lie down on it. Evaluate whether it’s supportive enough for your needs and easy to get up. You’ll also want to see if your feet can touch the floor when you’re sitting upright—if not, you may want to look for a sofa that has a shorter depth.
Special Features
You can find couches with several special features. For example, some models have either manual or automatic recliners built into the sofa. You can also find couches with built-in drink holders, USB ports, hidden consoles, and more.
Care
As mentioned above, you’ll want to consider how much maintenance you’re willing to put into keeping your sofa looking nice. Certain materials are easy to care for, while others require professional cleaning. This is an especially important consideration if you have pets, kids, or both.
If you want a low-maintenance sofa, look into leather, faux leather, or polyester options. Most of these models resist spills and stains and can simply be wiped down to clean. There are also treated cotton fabrics that resist stains. If you have pets, you’ll want to ensure whatever fabric you choose won’t get caught on their nails and is easy to vacuum.

FAQ
-
"There really isn't one—the terms are used interchangeably," explains Neuman. "Historically, there was a difference in the furniture's arms, but today they mean the same thing." If anything, some people use the term couch to refer to more casual pieces designed for comfort, which sofas are more formal and stylish.
-
For regular cleaning, you can vacuum loose dirt and crumbs and wipe the leather down with a damp cloth and mild hand soap (test in a small area first). Then buff it with a dry cloth—no need to rinse the soap, it acts as a conditioner to the leather. Use talcum powder or cornstarch to get out grease stains and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before brushing away with a soft-bristle brush. For more specific spot cleaning techniques, check out our guide to cleaning leather furniture.
-
Check the label of your upholstered couch: “W” means you can use a water-based cleaner, “S” designates a solvent-based cleaner is safe, “WS” means you can use either, and an “X” means it should be professionally cleaned. To clean with soap and water, combine a half teaspoon of clear dish soap with warm water and gently spread over the fabric without soaking, and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For more specific spot treatments of upholstery, check out our guide to washing upholstery fabric.
-
Many online and in-store retailers offer major savings around national holidays. Throughout the summer and during the fall and winter, you can find sales on couches at Wayfair, All Modern, Ashley Furniture, and more.
There are several types of couches and sofas you’ll encounter as you shop, each of which has its own pros and cons.
Standard
As mentioned above, standard sofas are typically between 72- and 84-inches long and can fit three or four people. Beyond these measurements, standard sofas can vary significantly in their depth, style, and cost. You can find a budget sofa for as little as $200 or opt for a custom option that may run $4,000 or more.
Sectional
As their name implies, sectionals are typically made up of two or more sections, and the most common configurations are L- and U-shaped. Depending on the size sectional you choose, you’ll be able to sit four or more people on the sofa at a time.
L-shaped sections can be right-arm- or left-arm-facing, and this refers to which direction the “L” is meant to face. If you’re planning to purchase an L-shaped sectional, make sure to figure out which side the arm needs to be on before you shop. U-shaped sectionals offer even more seating, and they’re a good option for large rooms. Many people place an ottoman or coffee table in the middle of the U, so you may want to take note of how much space is in the center of the configuration if you already have a table to use.
When shopping for a sectional, make sure the various pieces can be firmly connected. Fabric strips typically aren’t strong enough to hold pieces of a sectional together and may tear over time, leading to awkward gaps between the sitting areas.
Sectionals are typically more expensive than standard sofas. Low-end sectionals start around $400 and range up into the thousands for oversized, luxurious models.
Loveseat
Loveseats are smaller sofas designed to seat just two people. Loveseats are generally between 48- and 72-inches long, making them a popular option for apartments and other small spaces. If you’re looking for a fancier loveseat, you may want to consider a settee, which features a high back and shallow—designed more for aesthetics than comfort.
You can purchase loveseats individually, and they typically start at around $150. However, you'll also come across living room sets that include a matching sofa and loveseat.
Sleeper
Sleeper sofas, also called pull-out sofas, look like standard couches, but they contain a hidden mattress that folds out, transforming the sofa into a temporary bed. While not the most comfortable surface to sleep on, pull-out sofas are a great option if you frequently have houseguests and don’t have space for a guest bedroom.
When purchasing a sleeper sofa, you’ll want to consider how comfortable the unit is both as a sofa and as a bed. It’s also important to choose the proper size for your space, and if possible, test how easy it is to pull out and pack up the mattress. You can find twin-sized sleeper sofas for around $400, while larger options are more expensive.
Recliner
Similar to reclining chairs, reclining sofas will simultaneously lower you backward and support your feet with a footrest, putting you in a reclined position. Many people find reclining sofas to be more comfortable for watching movies and even sleeping.
Typically, reclining sofas just have one or two seats that can recline, and they’re either manual, meaning you have to pull a lever, or power reclining, meaning it uses electricity to adjust the seat. Power reclining sofas must be plugged into an outlet to work, so keep this in mind as you lay out your decor.
Budget reclining sofas start at around $400, but a high-end model can cost well over $1,000.
Futon
Futons are a type of specialty sofa that, frankly, are hard to explain if you’ve never seen one. They look more like a bench than a sofa, as most models don’t have armrests, and they can be folded out into a sleeping surface.
Futons are typically less expensive—and therefore less comfortable—than sleeper sofas, and they’re a popular option for college dorms, small apartments, and anyone on a budget. You can find a small futon for as little as $50, and even high-end products won’t cost more than $400 or so.

A leather sofa is a stylish, high-end addition to any living space—and with proper care, these pieces can last for many years.
When shopping for your leather sofa, make sure to carefully read the verbiage of the product before purchasing. “You could think you are getting a real leather sofa, but it in fact could be ‘genuine’ [bonded leather] or faux," says Ariel Richardson, Founder and Lead Designer at ASR Design Studio. "A good tell for real leather is to lift the sofa cushions—the bottom of the cushion is normally a fabric to minimize costs."
While researching leather sofas for this piece, we considered factors such as the type of leather used, color options, cushion fill, and overall construction quality.

The Turner Leather Sofa is a best-selling option—and for good reason. It has a contemporary yet timeless silhouette with square arms and a comfortable deep seat, and it comes in four different sizes (ranging from 64.5 to 103.5 inches wide). You also have your choice of more than a dozen top-grain, aniline leathers, including classic hues like caramel and black to bold options like indigo blue or berry red.
This leather sofa also stands out thanks to its top-quality construction. It boasts a corner-blocked, kiln-dried hardwood frame for exceptional durability, and the legs have adjustable levelers for stability on uneven floors. No-sag steel sinuous springs provide cushion support, and the seat cushions have a foam core wrapped in down for a delightful cushy feel. The sofa will look stately in just about any room, but it’s still extremely comfortable for everyday use.
The Turner Leather Sofa will arrive at your home via Pottery Barn's white glove delivery, which means you won’t have to lift a finger, and there are a few quick-ship leather finishes that ship within a few weeks.

Lark Manor Rasberry Rolled Arm Sofa Bed Review
What We Like
Good selection of leather colors
Firm, but comfortable seat cushions
Supportive queen-sized mattress
Made in America
What We Don't Like
The Lark Manor Rasberry Rolled Arm Sofa Bed has a timeless traditional design, and it does double duty as a queen-size pull-out bed, giving your houseguests a comfortable place to sleep. The design is available in more than 12 different leather colors, and it’s made to order right here in America. It has rolled arms and block legs for a classic appearance that will fit into any decor style, and the mattress can support up to 750 pounds, making it large enough for two people.
This sleeper sofa has foam-filled cushions that our tester said were firm but comfortable, and the innerspring mattress offers ample support—though it isn’t the most plush option out there. Because it houses a mattress, the Rasberry Sofa Bed weighs more than 200 pounds, and you’ll likely need assistance to move it into your home. However, you can’t beat the price for a genuine leather sofa, and it will look high-end in any space.

What Our Testers Say
“We could not have been happier when the Rasberry arrived. The top grain leather has a buttery softness that feels wonderful against the skin. The antique flint hue also lends the sofa a slightly aged look that blends perfectly with the rest of the room.” – Stacey L. Nash, Product Tester

If you want the look of leather without the high price tag, consider the Mistana Milton Sofa, which has a stylish modern design and budget-friendly price tag. The caveat, of course, is that it’s not genuine leather—this sofa is covered with a PVC-based faux leather that comes in either caramel or black. It may not have the same lush feel as genuine leather, but it will still look high-end in your living room.
This sofa features a boxy silhouette with tufted back and seat cushions, and all the covers are removable for easier spot cleaning. It’s supported by a durable frame (though it’s medium-density fibreboard, not solid wood), and the cushions are filled with foam for ample support. The sofa actually ships in a box, meaning you will have to put it together yourself, but assembly is quick and easy.

Expert Buying Tip
"Before you buy, be sure to consider the architectural details of your space–for example, a large bay of windows, a long wall, or a grand fireplace. You’ll want to choose a sectional that feels proportional to those details."—Karina Lameraner, Senior Creative Stylist at Modsy

For a classic couch with a traditional design, the Brooklyn Leather Sofa is both attractive and well-made. It features pleated rolled arms with brass nailhead details, and it has a simple silhouette that can be incorporated into virtually any living space. The couch can be made in a wide variety of leather finishes, from classic shades of brown and black to eye-catching white or green, but the downside is that there’s a long lead time (generally 17+ weeks), as the piece is made to order.
In addition to its good looks, this sofa is also impeccably made and will last for many years with proper care. It has a corner-blocked frame and no-sag steel springs for cushion support, and there are even adjustable levelers on the legs to help it sit properly on uneven floors. The sofa features polyester-wrapped cushions for a firmer feel, and the front legs even feature caster wheels for a unique vintage touch.

The 18 Best American-Made Furniture Companies of 2023
Final Verdict
Our best overall pick is the Pottery Barn Turner Square Arm Leather Sofa, which comes in several size and a wide range of leather colors. It's extremely well-made, and its down-blend cushions offer a comfy yet supportive place to relax. If you're specifically looking for a sleeper option, we recommend the Lark Manor Rasberry Rolled Arm Sofa Bed, which has a queen-size innerspring mattress to accommodate your guests.
Type of Leather
For a piece that’ll stand the test of time, the pros say that real full-grain leather is hands-down the best material to choose. However, note that some of the customizable sofa options may also include nylon faux leather upholstery in places, explains Ariel Richardson, Founder and Lead Designer at ASR Design Studio. “For faux leather furniture, Definitely look for a vinyl that is commercial-grade so it will last you a little bit longer,” explains Richardson.
The experts explain the differences in types of leather:
- Bonded leather: Unlike full-grain leather, bonded leathers are made from a pulp of leather scraps. They're then "adhered to a fabric backing, coated in polyurethane, and embossed to look like leather grain,” says Betsy Moyer, co-founder of Retreat. “A sofa made of bonded leather will lead to a short lifespan, as inevitably that polyurethane coat will break down, causing the material to crack and flake.” Note that bonded leathers can also go by the name “genuine leather,” so be sure to further research furniture with that label before making a purchase.
- Full-grain leather: This kind of leather bears the natural lines and markings of cowhide for an authentic appearance.
- Top-grain leather: This is leather that’s been polished down for a smooth, uniform appearance. It’ll still display some unique markings and will develop more markings and a patina with wear.
- Faux/vegan leather: Though historically made from polyurethane, a type of polymer, as of late, many brands have been innovating. “It can also be made from materials such as pineapple leaves, cork, apple peels, other fruit waste, and recycled plastic," says Richardson from ASR Design Studio.
Leather Dying Process
Within these categories, there are three types of leather that you'll want to look out for, based on different dying and treatment processes.
- Aniline leather: Also called “naked leather,” it has the most natural-looking aesthetic, but since it’s not coated with any polymers or pigments, it has a tendency to stain easily.
- Semi-aniline leather: This kind of leather has a treated surface that makes it more resilient against wear and tear, but not as much of the natural texture shows through.
- Protected pigmented: This type of leather is the most durable and commonly used type (it's also used for car upholstery), but because of how it’s treated, it does not have the unique aesthetic quality of aniline leather.
Frame Material
For a top-quality leather sofa—or any type of sofa, for that matter—experts recommend looking for one with a solid kiln-dried wood frame. The process of kiln drying removes moisture so the wood won’t warp or crack over time. Plywood and particleboard are commonly used for frames, but those materials may not be as durable.
Cushion Fill
Look for a leather sofa with cushions that are stuffed with materials that offer a balance of plushness and support, such as springs or high-density foam with an outer layer of soft fibers or down feathers.
Richardson recommends a foam core surrounded by a plush down envelope. “This is more expensive but also more comfortable,” she says. “If you are allergic or sensitive to organic materials, then be sure to look for a synthetic down. If you want a really soft seat, consider feather-down cushions.”
FAQ
-
The best leather sofas can last up to 20 or 25 years if they are very high quality and made of genuine leather. Faux-leather couches tend to only last about five years. You can also get more years out of your leather sofas by cleaning and conditioning them consistently.
-
This largely depends on the size of the room you're shopping for and how many people you're looking to seat, along with other design elements in your home. While there's likely a leather sofa out there that will suit your home's decor, it's still important to consider how it will flow with other pieces.
"Before you buy, be sure to know the measurements of your other furniture," says Karina Lameraner, Senior Creative Stylist at Modsy "Consider the architectural details of your space–for example, a large bay of windows, a long wall, or a grand fireplace. You’ll want to choose a [sofa] that feels proportional to those details."
-
Unlike fabrics like microfiber, leather is far more likely to show wear. While this can sometimes be a plus—older, heirloom-quality pieces will get a patina that's hard to replicate—homes with children or pets will want to keep this in mind. If you do end up opting for a leather option, we recommend using a leather conditioner to restore and maintain the suppleness of the sofa’s texture and protect it from future wear.

Sofa rating 2021 - top sofas in terms of quality and reliability
The professional ranking of sofas 2021 is compiled with the aim of choosing the perfect solution for any room. Not only the appearance of the furniture is taken into account, but also the selected materials, the strength and reliability of the structure, the density of the upholstery and the selection of colors, and the functional features of the product.
Sofa tips
Dimensions
First of all, you need to decide on the position of the sofa in the room, as well as the dimensions of the room. If the hall is small, you should give preference to a modular design. The length depends on the required number of seats. The presence of additional accessories and wide armrests is permissible only if they do not interfere. If a transformer is chosen, it should be noted that when unfolded, it takes up much more space.
Filler and frame
If the product will be used for sleeping, you should give preference to a spring block or polyurethane foam. These fillers support the back well, have an orthopedic effect and do not lose their shape for a long time. A strong, reliable frame is made of natural wood, welded metal elements, or a combination of them with MDF. Popular species are pine and beech. Oak is used for massive, expensive structures.
Upholstery
Not only the appearance of furniture, but also its wear resistance depends on the quality of the upholstery. Dozens of materials are offered, but it is worth choosing only those that consist of natural and synthetic fibers. Jacquard, chenille and flock do not absorb odors and dirt, pleasant to the touch, and a special anti-claw coating is suitable for a home with pets.
Comfort
The sofa is designed for spending time with family and friends, so it should be as comfortable as possible, support the back and legs well, and not cause discomfort. If a transformer model is chosen, you need to check how the bed fits the height of the person and his individual characteristics. If the model is bought for a children's room or a pensioner, it is worth checking how easy the transformation mechanism works. For additional comfort, wide armrests, bolsters, pillows, an enlarged backrest, etc. are used.
Design
When choosing a color, the presence of prints, shapes, one should be guided by the general style of the room, the features of the room, the location of the room (south or north side). For example, for a small living room in a classic style, you should choose a straight sofa in light colors (plain or with a small print), and for a spacious kitchen in bright colors - an orange, green, blue straight or corner sofa.
