The 10 Best Modular Sofas of 2024

Best Overall

Burrow Block Nomad Sofa

$1,359 at Burrow

When it comes to customization, it’s hard to top all of the versatile and varied options offered by the Burrow Nomad Sofa. It might look simple and classic at first glance, but this modular sofa is almost endlessly customizable. You can choose from a wide selection of different upholstery materials (including a stain- and scratch-resistant olefin fiber), opt for any of three armrest heights and shapes, and pick from six leg finishes. 

But the choices don’t end there. This modular model is also adaptable, and it can grow and expand over time—or shrink if needed. You can add seats and change up your couch, thanks to the universally-compatible design of the Nomad Collection’s various pieces. Even the back and seat cushions are reversible, allowing you to opt for a smooth or tufted look. And those cushions are comfy, too, thanks to their three-layer foam and fiber construction.

During our real-world tests, we found that the assembly process was incredibly simple—in fact, it took under 30 minutes to put together and didn’t require a single tool. Moreover, each box came labeled so you know exactly what order to open them in, allowing for a seamless setup. And although the couch was comfortable, it was definitely on the firmer side. That is, it wasn’t so plush that you could “sink into” the sofa, but still cushioned enough to lounge on for long periods.

Additionally, you can take confidence in the fact that this couch is built to last. Its sturdy, precision-milled Baltic birch wood frame won’t warp, and its strengthened steel pins and latches are designed to hold up to everyday wear and tear. We found the couch very easy to clean, even after daily lounging and spills from kids.

Best Budget

Mjkone Modern Modular L-Shape Sectional

$570 at Walmart View on Mjkone.com

If you're on a budget, consider the Mjkone Modular Sectional. This affordable and flexible sofa is constructed with a sturdy wood frame and smooth, easy-to-clean faux (and vegan!) leather upholstery in your choice of beige, gray, or charcoal. The spring-loaded foam cushions are soft yet supportive, and while the back cushions are lower than average for a typical couch, the deep seats are great for lounging or curling up for a quick nap.

With moveable ottomans and backrests, this low-profile sectional can be rearranged into multiple configurations, including a pit sofa or an L-shaped couch with a chaise on one side and a bumper on the other. Just a heads up: The vacuum-packed cushions will take up to two days to fully expand when you remove them from the box. You’ll need to give the sofa some time to plump up before you begin using it.

Best Splurge

Albany Park Kova Pit

View on Albanypark.com

Open to spending a bit more on living room furniture? The Albany Park Kova Pit Sofa won’t let you down. This pit sofa is larger than a traditional couch with seat cushions and footrests that can be arranged into a bed-like formation, allowing multiple people to lay back and stretch out their legs. During our tests, we found that although the sofa’s packaging was very intuitive, it took a long time to assemble just because of the sheer size of the product. We recommend recruiting some help during the setup process.

This oversized lounger features a durable kiln-dried hardwood frame. The base is a foam-topped spring suspension system, and the removable, reversible back and seat cushions are filled with a cloud-like blend of feather and synthetic fibers. We were impressed with just how comfortable the couch was, and the deep seats allow you to sprawl out for an extra-cozy night in. It almost feels like a separate bed for your living room since the couch is more conducive to laying down than sitting up. 

In addition to all the lounging space offered by this 30-inch-deep pit-style sofa, you can rearrange the pieces into several configurations, including a standard couch and an L-shaped sectional. Thanks to the mesh backing, the cushions stay in place, no matter where or how you place them. 

While the Albany Park Kova Pit Sofa is a splurge, we think it’s well worth the higher price due to its comfort level and overall durability. This sofa held up well in a household with pets, and we found it very easy to clean. While stains were easy to spot treat, you can also simply remove the cushion covers and wash them for an easy refresh.

Best for Small Spaces

Burrow Range 3-Piece Open Sectional

$959 at Burrow

If you're short on available space or are looking for a modular sofa to fill a corner in your living room, office, or bonus room, Burrow's Range Sectional might be your best bet. This compact sofa measures roughly 5 feet long and 5 feet deep (depending on how you arrange it) and can be configured six ways with its initial pieces, including an L-shaped couch, a traditional three-seater, or a loveseat with a mini chaise lounge.

Despite the small size, the seat cushions are pretty deep, and the overstuffed backrests offer plush, pillowy support. This modular sofa has stain-resistant, easy-to-clean fabric upholstery, a sturdy plywood frame, and wooden peg legs in your choice of three finishes. Unlike made-to-order furniture, most options are ready to ship in a few days. 

The price is slightly steep for the size of this compact modular sofa, but you can count on quality with Burrow. The cost can increase quickly if you’d like to add extra components later on; however, thanks to its long-term durability, we think it’s a worthwhile investment that can grow with you.

Best Deep-Seated

Crate & Barrel Lotus Deep Modular Sectional Sofa

$4,297 at Crate & Barrel

Get ready to get cozy, because the Lotus Modular 3-Piece Low Sofa Sectional from Crate & Barrel is our favorite deep-seated sofa. At nearly 40 inches deep with loose back cushions (which you can remove to get the full depth when lying down), this modular model is fluffy, comfortable, and nicely supportive whether you’re sitting or lounging around. Besides providing plenty of space to stretch out, the spring-loaded, fiber-wrapped foam cushions offer ample support without sacrificing plushness.

The frame is crafted from kiln-dried wood to prevent warping and cracking and ensure long-lasting durability. There are almost 200 upholstery options available, including stain-resistant and pet-friendly fabrics. As for the modularity, you can rearrange the Lotus into three configurations and expand it with other pieces from the line. Aside from the steep price, the only real downside of this couch is that many of the upholstery options are made to order and may take several weeks to ship out.

Best Pet- and Kid-Friendly

Joybird Logan Modular U-Sofa

$3,771 at joybird.com

If you have kids or pets and need a modular sofa that'll not only adapt but also stand up to stains and everyday wear and tear, this one's for you. The Joybird Logan U-Sofa comes in various upholstery options, including several of the brand's Safeguard materials. These innovative fabrics repel liquids to prevent permanent spots. There are also a handful of pet-friendly materials that resist tearing and pilling. All of these tough fabrics are hand-stitched for an extra layer of durable construction, too.

This couch also has a kiln-dried engineered wood frame that promises to resist warping and cracking for many years under heavy use. It can be configured multiple ways and expanded with additional pieces from the Logan line. If you can swing the steep price and don't mind waiting weeks to receive your made-to-order furniture, we recommend it.

Best Leather

Apt2B Wilco Leather Modular Sectional Sofa

$4,079 at apt2b.com

For those partial to genuine leather furniture, we recommend the Apt2B Wilco Sectional. This couch has top-grain Italian leather upholstery with a slightly weathered finish that builds character and relaxes into a buttery softness over time. The frame is solid hardwood, and the high-density foam cushions offer long-lasting support.

This two-piece leather sofa features a reversible configuration, allowing you to position the armless portion on either side to accommodate the shape of your space. Without any hardware connectors, it's super easy to switch around. The Wilco only comes in one color, but the brown hue is endlessly versatile. And while it's pretty expensive, Apt2B backs the frame and workmanship with a lifetime warranty and delivers it fully assembled into your room of choice.

_{Dimensions: 97 x 95 x 28 inches | Material: Leather, solid wood | Seat Configurations: 2}

Most Customizable

Inside Weather Modular Bondi Sofa

View on Insideweather.com

With 36-inch-deep seats and soft, yet supportive, cushions, the Bondi Sofa is welcoming, spacious, and oh-so-plush. Like the rest of the Bondi collection, this conveniently modular couch system can be rearranged to accommodate your needs. Each piece can be used as a standalone seat or ottoman, or you can attach them to create numerous configurations.

We also like that you can choose from several upholstery materials, including various fabrics and vegan leather, and multiple frame finishes. This generously sized sofa is sustainable, too. The solid, kiln-dried ash wood frame is sourced from FSC-certified forests, ensuring they were responsibly grown and managed. And that's not all. The cloud-like cushion material is made of recycled down-alternative fibers sourced from plastic bottles. Note that this couch is made to order and will take weeks to ship out.

Best with Storage

Honbay Reversible Sectional Sofa with Chaise

$1,199 at Amazon $1,130 at Walmart View on Honbaymall.com

If you're in the market for an affordable couch but are wary about buying something too cheap, Honbay is an excellent choice. The brand's Reversible Sectional is a six-piece modular sofa that can be configured into a U-shaped couch, an L-shaped sectional with the chaise on either side, or an extra-long six-seater sofa. You can also use the pieces individually and create a sofa and loveseat combo or a sofa with two matching chairs.

This reasonably priced furniture system comes in your choice of gray, blue, or neutral blueish-gray fabric upholstery. Unlike many couches in this price range, it has a solid wood frame. What's more, each seat features hidden storage for stashing blankets, throw pillows, toys, magazines, you name it. The only potential downside is that it calls for two-person at-home assembly.
