## Best Sectional Sofas, Overall
In an era where retailers are all about customization and tailoring, we’ve assembled plenty of editor-vetted new sofas that combine style and durability. It’s one thing to talk about the virtues of a piece of furniture and quite another to actually put it to a sit test, especially for a splurge that might set you back a few thousand dollars. So we sat—and lay, and jumped, and sprawled—to test dozens of different couches in apartments and homes, from the California suburbs to rural farmhouses in the Northeast. AD testers ensured that all the details, from ordering to assembly to nap potential, lived up to our high expectations. Here, several superlative sectionals that earned high marks in all sorts of sit tests.

The best sectional sofas have it all: lots of room for you and a crew to comfortably stretch out, plus the kind of chameleonic style that can adapt just as easily to a basement movie room or the family den where you invite guests into your home. As former AD editor Benjamin Reynaert puts it, sectionals allow for “a level of customization akin to bespoke furniture, but without the high costs that come with building a piece from the ground—or sofa leg—up.” But deciding between just the right sectional versus a regular sofa can be tough. If you’re worried that sectionals can lean a bit stodgy or will have trouble squeezing into tight spaces, we’re here to ease your mind with some of our own first-hand findings.

**Overall couch rating**: A
Interior Define’s Sloan sectional offers more customization options than the traditional furniture brand. Choose from dozens of upholstery materials (and colors!), various seat depths, cushion fills, and even leg styles. The personalization is largely why contributor Malia Griggs chose this sofa for her living room. “I really do love this couch. If you enjoy tailoring your décor to your taste, are willing to pay a bit more for quality, and have the patience for a made-to-order process, this is a wonderful sectional—especially for a smaller space (and even with cats),” she says. Having stretched out on the chaise for movie nights, naps, and even one full night, Griggs touts the sofa’s firm yet cozy seat and durable upholstery.
Even with two rambunctious cats, the sofa has held up against spills, stains, claws, and even one poorly timed hairball. “The sectional has held up surprisingly well against their havoc—wrestling on the chaise, treating its sides like a scratching post, and near-constant shedding absolutely everywhere,” Griggs elaborates. She also says that a soft-bristle brush helps maintain the velvet texture and disguises any aggressively clawed areas. “While I wouldn’t call velvet a low-maintenance upholstery choice (it definitely attracts lint and pet hair), it has performed better than I expected,” she says. “Velvet has a short, dense pile that doesn’t snag the same way as my previous chenille sofa—so even when my cats do go to town with their claws, the fabric doesn’t show damage as obviously.”
