Buying Guide

Double-duty seating that still looks luxe.

Sofas and seating are the foundation of any living room, and the category where spending well pays off longest. A quality frame — kiln-dried hardwood, joined rather than stapled — outlasts three cheap sofas, which is why we treat seating as an investment rather than a purchase. This section of our furniture collection covers the full range, from statement velvet sofas to space-smart sleepers.

When you’re evaluating any sofa, three things separate the lasting from the disposable: the frame (hardwood, corner-blocked and doweled), the cushion fill (high-resiliency foam wrapped in down, not bare polyfoam that flattens), and the fabric (rated for the traffic it’ll see, in a color you won’t tire of). Style follows function — a tight back reads more tailored, a loose back more relaxed; a low arm suits modern rooms, a rolled arm classic ones. Get the construction right first, and the silhouette is where you express taste. Browse our seating guides below for the specific picks worth your money.
