HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT MODERN SOFA
Whether you say “sofa” or “couch,” this comfortably cushioned seating for two or more holds great importance in the home: It is often the heart of both everyday living and entertaining.
With nearly 35 years of handcrafting modern sofas for healthy homes, we ensure all the key elements of a supremely comfortable, heirloom-quality piece are in each of our many styles and sizes.
Sustainably handmade for you by multigenerational skilled artisans at our factory in North Carolina, with durable wood frames, recycled metal springs, and plush cushioning and padding, they are built to stand the test of time and backed by a lifetime warranty.
To help you find the right modern couches for your interiors, ask these questions:
How Will Your Sofa Be Used?
Different rooms call for different sofa styles:
- In a more formal living room where you entertain, a sofa with a more upright sit is welcome.
- For relaxing solo or gathering with family, modern couches with sink-in cushions will be appreciated.
What Size Sofa Should I Choose?
- A deep sofa is ideal for lounging. It is also appreciated by tall people and can be made equally comfortable with throw pillows for those of shorter stature.
- Sofas with shallower depths are supportive for sitting upright and can work well in smaller spaces.
- Several of our bestselling sofas offer a choice of two depths to give the style and sit you prefer.
What Types of Sofa Cushions Are There?
- You’ll find sofas with two-cushion, three-cushion or single-cushion bench seats, as well as styles with supportive and well-padded “tight” seats and backs.
- You can also select from three cushion types: Eco Luxe Poly, Eco Down Blend or our Signature Poly cushions with the benefit of re-fluffing when you stand up.
What Style Sofa Base?
- Tall legs are easy to clean under and convey a lighter feel.
- Modern sofas upholstered to the floor with minimal legs hidden give a clean look.
- Wood-trimmed bases add warmth, complement storage pieces, and are customizable in our 20+ wood finishes.
- Metal legs in multiple finish options are available on some sofa styles.
How Can You Make It Yours?
Ways to customize our luxury couches are endless.
-
Consider the Details:
- A great example: our signature Haywood Sofa: Among its many options are a choice of three different arm styles.

Know Your Textile Options:
- With 500+ fabrics, easy-care performance fabrics for homes with kids and pets, plus 50 Italian and vegan leathers, there are timeless yet current-feeling selections.
- Discover textiles from textured velvets and chenilles to soft natural linens to cozy boucle in a broad range of nature-inspired hues, both solids and patterns.

How Do I Choose a Sofa Style?
Do you love mid-century sofas? Or 1970s Scandinavian-inspired couches? Or does streamlined yet plush contemporary seating attract your eye? All have a modern feel that can define your style or be part of an eclectic mix. Other styles to consider:
- Curved sofas invite conversation, add sophistication, and contrast welcome roundness with the straight lines of a room. For an elegant seating area, place two curved sofas facing each other.
- Armless couches provide a simple modern look that gives a room a lighter feel.
- Mid-Century couches, with their simple designs, make a good palettes for textured solid fabrics and are perfect pairs with tables and storage in this well-loved style.
- Updated traditional sofas with classic silhouettes and details like optional tufting, contrast welt, or nailhead trim make a modern interior interesting and welcoming.
- Shelter-style sofas with arms the same height as its tall back give a cozy feel and can be a showplace for decorative pillows.
- Modern sectionals, also called sectional sofas, comprising two or more modular pieces that you can arrange in configurations to fit your room, from petite L-shape sectionals to large U-shape arrangements.
Other Types of Living Room Seating
Keep in mind these appealing alternatives: a sleeper sofa for extra guest space; a loveseat or lounge as comfortable as our sofas to fit compact quarters; or a modular sectional configurable to your space. And for open-air living, see the outdoor sofas in our collection.
Complement Your New Sofa
Consider accompanying pieces to enhance the comfort and style of your space: contemporary accent chairs and ottomans, a modern coffee table and side tables, table lamps, media console, bar cabinet or bar cart for entertaining essentials, and a rug to define the seating area.
