And after ordering, building and testing a Lovesac Sactional<\/a>, I\u2019m confident this couch fits the bill.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Lovesac Sactional is built to last and isn't just available in your standard size and fabric choices. In fact, it's entirely<\/em> customizable, from the arm shape (standard, angled or rolled) to the backrest to the configurations. Choose from a smaller three-seat option for cozier spaces and large, M-shaped picks that seat a minimum of 10. In addition, the fabric choices range from soft boucl\u00e9 to luxe velvet, chenille, weave, cross weave, polyline, leather and even reversible textiles. And those are just the \"quick ship\" options\u2014in total, there are over 130 different choices.\r\n\r\n\"After almost a year of daily use, the Lovesac couch still looks brand new. It\u2019s the first thing you notice when entering our home, and guests always comment on its style and comfort,\" says Katie. \"Seriously, this is the best piece of furniture I\u2019ve ever owned. It\u2019s stylish, incredibly comfortable and easy to clean. We\u2019re hosting family in a few weeks, and I love that I can convert the modular pieces into an additional guest bed. And if they spill? No sweat. I've successfully cleaned coffee, tomato sauce and chocolate off the covers with no remaining stains.\"\r\n\r\n\"Lovesac\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember is that, like most modular sectionals on the market, Lovesac sectionals require significant assembly. The process isn\u2019t difficult, but it is time-consuming. Katie\u2019s Lovesac furniture arrived in over 20 boxes and took over six hours to assemble. \u201cAt least I didn\u2019t have to worry if the couch would fit through the doorframe, though!\u201d Katie quips. \u201cThe boxes ensure this couch fits even in hard-to-access spaces like a basement or upstairs media room.\u201d\r\n\r\nApart from the multi-box delivery, the only (slight) downside is that it shows a good amount of dirt, hair and debris. \"I need to vacuum every few days to keep it in tip-top shape, but honestly, I\u2019m glad it\u2019s so visible. That means I can clean it immediately; a darker fabric would hide the dirt,\" says Katie. Investing in a good cordless vacuum cleaner<\/a> is key to keeping your new Lovesac sofa looking like new as the years go by.\r\n\r\nSize(s) available:<\/strong> 3-10 seats | Colors:<\/strong> Over 130 | Customizable areas: <\/strong>Arms, backrest, fill blend | Add-ons: <\/strong>Storage seat, charging hub\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Large\" product_name=\"Albany Park Kova Pit Sectional\" pros=\"U-Shaped, bed-like configuration\" pros1=\"Comes in a variety of fabrics\" pros2=\"Simple assembly\" pros3=\"30-day home trial\" pros4=\"Lifetime warranty\" cons=\"Boxes are large and heavy\" cons1=\"Assembly can be tricky for the corners\" image=\"2006778\" image_credit=\"EMILY WAY FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Albany Park\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.albanypark.com%2Fcollections%2Fsectional-sofas%2Fproducts%2Fkova-pit\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Albany Park\" \/]\r\n\r\nI never expected to fall in love with a couch until I met my Albany Park Kova Pit sectional<\/a>. It's available in a variety of fabrics, from soft velvet to teddy bear boucl\u00e9 to stain-resistant weaves and performance fabrics. I opted for the dark teal velvet with a storage ottoman for an additional fee. I recommend snagging the ottoman\u2014it has been instrumental in organizing my small living space. While the Kova sectional is available in several sizes and configurations (with the option to add more sections later), the Kova Pit is perfectly designed for cuddling up on.\r\n\r\nAfter receiving a call from the freight company and scheduling delivery, my modular sectional arrived in eight big, heavy Albany Park furniture boxes outside my apartment. I appreciated that the boxes were purposefully narrow, making it easy enough to maneuver them through doorways and upstairs. That said, these are\u00a0heavy<\/em> boxes, so if you have to move them upstairs, I highly recommend enlisting a few friends or movers for assistance.\r\n\r\nTo assemble, simply slide the backrests into place using a set of metal tracks on the base. The arms of the corner pieces were the trickiest part. Albany Park offers\u00a0helpful videos<\/a> if you, like me, find those areas tricky. The secret? Sliding them in at an angle allows them to sit flush and snug against the backrests. It took me around an hour and a half to assemble it myself. Once assembled, this thing is sturdy<\/em>. While I don't recommend it, I regularly stand on the armrests to put up my projector screen without issue.\r\n\r\n\"Cat\r\n\r\nDespite its inviting softness, the Albany Park couch's velvet material still holds up well against cat claws and pet fur\u2014just be sure to give it a once-over with your cordless vacuum<\/a> regularly. This goes doubly so if you opt for the velvet material, which is a bit of a fur magnet. In terms of maintenance, like most cloud couches, you'll also want to regularly fluff the cushions\u00a0so they stay nice and puffy.\r\n\r\nWhile it's a bit more work than a traditional sofa, it's totally worth it if you're seeking unmatched coziness. I'm actually kind of glad that it needs a little visual upkeep\u2014it's a good reminder for someone like me who occasionally forgets to pull out the vacuum. As a bonus, I've had mine for over a year and it still looks and feels as plush and soft as day one!\r\n\r\nOne admirable feature of this Albany Park sofa is its flexible configuration. I set up mine in a long L-shape that best fits my small apartment, but the Pit is perfectly adjustable to nearly any space or room setup. You can even arrange it into a bed-like configuration for movie nights\u2014something we do nearly every weekend. After staying on my Albany Park sectional for a few nights, a friend purchased one for her home. If that's not a testament to the pull of this snuggly sofa, I don't know what is.\r\n\r\nSize(s) available:<\/strong> 2-8 seats| Colors:<\/strong> 12 | Add-ons:\u00a0<\/strong>Storage ottoman\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Small\" product_name=\"Burrow Mambo 4-Piece Sectional\" pros=\"Multiple fabric and size options\" pros1=\"Small enough for tighter spaces\" pros2=\"Easy setup, no tools needed\" pros3=\"Modern design appeal\" cons=\"Leather fabric may not be ideal for pet owners\" image=\"2008439\" image_credit=\"MARY HENN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Burrow\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fburrow.com%2Fmambo%2F4-piece-sectional%3Fsku%3DFLRST-SL-MB-S4-LA2-C0-MGF-DW\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Burrow\" \/]\r\n\r\nNothing says home movie night like a luxurious leather sectional. The Burrow Mambo 4-piece sectional<\/a> in Camel transforms any basement or den space from lackluster to luxe, and its five-seat body offers plenty of space to spread out and get cozy. The firm-yet-soft build of this luxe leather modular sectional lends itself well to lounging without causing back pain. Plus, the smaller 100-inch length is compact enough for folks living in tight quarters.\r\n\r\nA curved backrest and options for either low or high arms, depending on preference, make this a perfect option for those seeking a midday snore. We love that it's wide and low to the ground, meaning it feels stable enough to support several people simultaneously. Concerned about cleaning your couch<\/a>? Don't worry\u2014the top-grain leather (imported from a century-old tannery in Italy!) is also extremely easy to wipe down after accidental spills. Or, opt for the performance fabric for an ultra-tight weave that's scratch- and stain-resistant.\r\n\r\n\u201cI\u2019ve owned the Burrow Mambo for over a year now, and it still looks great,\" says Editor Mary Henn<\/a> of this modular sofa. \"It hasn\u2019t lost its shape and remains firm. I was worried about how the leather would hold up against kids and pets, but the fabric has been pretty resilient,\u201d Mary says. \u201cTo be honest, I thought the couch would soften over time, but it hasn\u2019t. We use the Mambo in our basement to watch sports when we have a few guests over. It\u2019s perfect for that, but we prefer our softer, more plush sectional upstairs for curling up for naps.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"Toha24\r\n\r\nHowever, Mary's favorite thing about this Burrow sofa is its modular construction. The couch uses custom molded hardware to connect each piece, so it's super easy to rearrange or take apart for moves. \u201cYou can arrange it multiple ways and even pull sections out to adjust the size of the sofa,\u201d she says. \"Plus, if you like rearranging your space frequently (to accommodate guests for a movie night, for instance), you can do that with this sectional.\"\r\n\r\nThe only negatives Mary reports in her almost one year of Burrow couch ownership have to do with the fabric, which requires a little extra care if you opt for the leather version. \"With any leather furniture, you\u2019ll want to watch out for pets with long nails,\" she notes. \"However, I will say that the leather surface on this sectional feels thick, as though it would take a good amount of force and a sharp object to puncture through the surface.\u201d\r\n\r\nSize(s) available: <\/strong>3-8 seats | Colors:<\/strong> 3 | Customizable areas: <\/strong>Arm style | Add-ons: <\/strong>Ottoman\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Splurge\" product_name=\"7th Avenue Modular Chaise Sectional\" pros=\"Water-repellent and stain-resistant fabrics\" pros1=\"Washable covers\" pros2=\"Extra-deep option\" pros3=\"Complimentary fill packets included\" pros4=\"Lifetime durability of 10 years or more\" cons=\"Pricey\" cons1=\"Low-back design may not be ideal for some\" image=\"2006786\" image_credit=\"CHER CHECCHIO FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"7th Avenue\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2F7thavenue.co%2Fcollections%2Fsectionals%2Fproducts%2F4-seat-chaise-sectional-with-ottoman\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on 7th Avenue\" \/]\r\n\r\nFamily movie nights are fun, but with littles, it's always best to be prepared for the resulting spills and stains. Former Editor Cher Checchio<\/a> finds that added durability is worth paying for. \u201cAfter four years, it was time to upgrade my old sectional with one that would better handle my toddler and dog. I knew I wanted a cloud couch, or at least a cloud couch dupe, but I also wanted a sectional that would fit my family and space,\u201d Cher says. \u201cThe 7th Avenue 4-seat chaise modular sectional<\/a>\u00a0did just that and more.\u201d\r\n\r\nCher opted for the four-seater modular couch with an extra deep ottoman. With the option to choose from ten different colors in performance fabrics (including velvet, textured and cross-weaves), she chose the ever-popular natural white with performance texture weave. The couch's minimalistic look perfectly complements most spaces, from farmhouse-inspired decor<\/a> to mid-century modern. We love that the PFAS-free coating also temporarily repels most household spills, giving parents plenty of time to chase down some paper towels.\r\n\r\nAbout four weeks after purchasing, Cher's modular sectional arrived in 17 boxes. She assembled the 7th Avenue couch in a couple of hours with the help of a video tutorial and her husband. 7th Avenue offers a limited lifetime warranty that includes a full warranty on the construction (frame, wood, springs, hardware) and manufacturer defects on the cushions and fabrics.\r\n\r\n\"Toha24\r\n\r\nThey also offer free returns of the full merchandise value\u2014minus shipping and assembly\u2014within 10 days of delivery. Due to its overall durability, Cher expects to sit pretty on this sofa for way more than four years. And that\u2019s a definite plus since, at around $5,700, the couch is rather pricey. That said, 12-, 24- and 36-month financing are available.\r\n\r\n\"Two of my favorite features of the 7th Avenue sectional are the removable covers and down alternative cushions. The water-repellent and stain-resistant fabric makes the covers easy to clean with a wet paper towel, but it\u2019s also convenient to unzip each one\u2014including the base, arms and backs\u2014and wash them in the machine. The down alternative cushions are a lifesaver, too and not simply because they are hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty-free. These no-hassle cushions maintain their shape without the need to fluff. Also, I love that the detached ottoman can sit on either end of the sofa, and the extra-deep cushions were oh-so-cozy,\" says Cher.\r\n\r\nSize(s) available: <\/strong>2-9 seats | Colors: <\/strong>10 | Customizable areas:<\/strong> Depth, firmness\r\n\r\n

Why You Should Choose a Modular Sectional<\/h2>\r\n\"A modular sofa is a type of seating arrangement comprising individual sections (modules) that can be arranged and rearranged in different configurations. These modules typically include pieces like seats, ottomans, chaises, and corners that can be combined to fit various room layouts and preferences,\" says interior designer Andy Yates from\r\n\r\nAccording to Andy, there are several reasons why you may prefer a modular sofa to other designs:\r\n
