How to choose

Which one is right for the room

  • If the budget is the constraint

    Keaton at $999.99 is the only sofa here with a kiln-dried hardwood frame and a memory-foam cushion topper, and it has the deepest seat at 24.5 inches.

  • If the room is small

    Gemma is 85 inches wide with a low 27-inch back, five inches narrower than Sandy and visually much lighter.

  • If it has to survive kids or pets

    Hartford's pigmented top-grain leather and 2.4-density seats clean up and hold shape better than the softer 1.8-density polyester on Sandy.

  • If comfort beats looks

    Haven reclines, rates 4.4 out of 5, and asks for 260 lbs. of floor and five inches of wall clearance in return.
