Best Slipcover Sofa: Madeline Slipcovered Sofa

I will just say right off the bat: we might be biased because its part of our Custom Upholstery Collection, but our slipcovered Madeline sofa is beloved for being extremely comfortable and chic and honestly I'd go so far as to say it's one of the most comfortable sofas on the market. We've all seen the Coastal Grandmother content and know how chic a slipcover sofa can be, and when it comes to choosing the best sofa in this category, look for comfort and the quality and durability of the slipcover itself.

The Madeline Slipcovered Sofa gets our stamp of approval because it's so soft, yet still super supportive! The seat cushion is designed for supreme comfort, with a foam core surrounded by a blend of fiber, down, and feather—in short, it feels like you're literally sinking into a cloud. Trust me!

This sofa is made in the USA by a team of artisans, and is offered in 15+ color-ways (including several performance options). Plus, it's available in multiple sizes so you're sure to be able to find the perfect fit for your home. This sofa works beautifully with coastal beach, modern classic, and French country design motifs.

Best Velvet Sofa: Madeline French Green Upholstered Brown Wood Brass Casters Sofa

It was easy to make my recommendation for best velvet sofa because I have the Madeline French Green Upholstered Brown Wood Brass Casters Sofa in my own home and I absolutely love it! This gorgeous piece also happens to be a perennial bestseller and a favorite of our influencer and press partners (check it out featured in Country Living last year!). 

"This chic velvet sofa features beautiful French-inspired details, like brass casters, sage green velvet upholstery, and espresso brown wooden legs. I can tell you from experience that it's as comfortable as it is stylish and versatile."

Plus, the Madeline's cloud-like cushions are durable and supportive, made with high-resiliency foam core wrapped with a super-soft foam layer then inserted into a channel-quilted casing filled with a blend of fiber, down, and feathers. Velvet sofas look lovely in French country, modern classic, and Hollywood regency interior designs.

Best Sectional Sofa: Cee Modern Classic Beige Performance 5-Piece Sectional

I love a good sectional sofa to make a living room feel super-inviting and cozy! If you have the apace for it in your living room, family room, or den, I say the bigger the better! Our Cee 5-Piece Sectional rates highly because it has a look that works for a family media room (as shown below, in our Far Hills farmhouse project), a chic city apartment, or a modern coastal beach house. It's so versatile, and with five pieces, it's so, so, so spacious!

"The thing about finding the perfect sectional is that they really do facilitate and inspire gatherings, and they can fill a room without you having to purchase much additional seating."

Of course, when shopping for the best sectional sofa for your home, be sure to measure multiple times and to also note the size of the doors, stairwells, and elevators in play for delivery. Most sectionals come in several pieces, but they do tend to be larger than typical sofas.

Best Performance Sofa for Pets & Kids: Allison Modern Classic Grey Upholstered 2 Piece Sectional

I'm a firm believer that there's no need to sacrifice style when shopping for a sofa that will work well for your children and pets. Case in point: Just look at the happy pup on our Allison Modern Classic Grey Upholstered 2-Piece Sectional! in the photo below (see more from our Hudson Valley Transitional project HERE)

"When it comes to choosing a sofa the whole family can enjoy, look for durable performance fabrics and darker neutrals that are easy to mix and match—and, of course, plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably during movie night!"

I love this sofa for a family home because the performance upholstery is durable (and easy to clean) polyester, but it still looks super-upscale. The charcoal color is perfect because it won't show pet fur or the the occasional apple juice spill and it's easy to accessorize with fun throw pillows and blankets of any color or pattern. The L-shape ensures for plenty of seating and lounging as well.
