How to choose
Cloud and modular sofas explained
What does boneless mean?
A boneless sofa has no hard wooden frame, so it feels soft all the way around and the sections can be moved and combined easily. They are compressed in a box, which makes delivery simple, and need time to expand once unpacked.
Give it time to expand
Compressed foam needs hours to recover after unpacking. Open it somewhere with space, pat the cushions, and allow 24 to 72 hours before judging how it sits. Some listings state the exact time on the page.
Deep seats suit lounging
These sofas are made for sinking in and curling up. If you prefer sitting upright, a traditional sofa with a firmer seat may suit better. Check the seat depth in the specification table.
Think about layouts
Modular sofas can be arranged as an L, a straight run or a split layout. Measure your room and sketch the options before you decide, and remember to allow for the walkways.
