Where to look for COMFORTABLE family sofa?

Absolutely agree with this.

Style-wise I wanted a low sectional with deep seat, but after trying out several realized they weren't right for me. They were too soft, offered no support and were awkward to get out of since the seats were deep and low to the ground. (I also have lower back issues.)

Soon began to realize the ones that worked for me had webbing suspension (not springs) and cushions with a high resiliency foam core wrapped in poly-fiber or down. Randomly checked out Room and Board one day and immediately felt like Goldilocks when sitting on the sofa I eventually purchased.

I’m not pp but anytime I visit R&B I love to sit on the deep metro sectional. It feels like sitting on a cloud, just wish it was in my budget.

Vela sofa - tuxedo style with a thick bench cushion. It feels like sitting on a twin mattress that's supportive/somewhat firm with a nice top layer of cushy/comfort. The Cade sofa at R&B and the Emmy at DWR were also very similar in feel - both also had the webbing suspension + HR foam core. Highly recommend to try any of these, or similar, if you have back issues. Ultimately I went with Vela because couldn't justify the Emmy price tag and there was a longer wait at the time for the Cade.

Thank you SO much--and to the PP that recommended the metro.

Nothing beats a George Smith sofa.

For this one, I just want it to be comfortable and not ugly. I can add pillows to "style" it up enough for our purposes. Thank you for any recommendations!

Costco is having a big sale now through 11/6.

Is $809 plus tax a good price for the Macys Radley? I'm interested in this one:

I think I paid in the mid 700s in 2019 for this couch. With inflation, $809 sounds about right.

we got our sectional from first one value city and second one Belfort. Happy with both!

We’ve had lots of sofas and our latest is the Lovesac. Very happy with it.

How do you like it so far? I am looking for a formal living space. Would it be too cheap looking for a formal living area?

We keep it in our family/rec room. It gets a LOT of use and we all love it. We have 2 cats who love it too and sometimes scratch. It’s holding up incredibly well considering the family use and the cats - better than some pricier couches we’ve had in the past. But it’s not as stylish as sofas from the specialty stores. It’s very basic looking IMO, but with the right decor it could be fine in a formal living room.

We love our Macy’s Radley but wanted something less expensive we wouldn’t need to worry about the kids destroying. Macy’s has other models too that we considered.
