Comfortable Sofa Options For Inviting Living Spaces

If you want your living room to feel cozy and welcoming, having a comfortable sofa is priority number one. The sofas at West Elm come with design features like deep seats, plush cushions and soft upholstery that come together to create sink-in comfort. And with a wide variety of size and color options available to choose from, it's easy to find seating to complement any living space.

Plush Sofa Features

The comfortable sofa collection at West Elm includes a wide range of premium furniture options for your home. Customize your seating by choosing the sofa width that fits your space (the sofas typically range from 66 inches to 104 inches wide) and the seat depth that meets your lounging needs (petite depth, standard depth or extra-deep options available). Create visual balance by selecting a coffee table that's about two-thirds the length of the sofa.

You can also check how every sofa rates on the seat comfort scale from one to five, with ultra-soft seats earning a one and the firmest seats a five. While the softest seats will conform to your body, the use of polyurethane foam cushion cores and high-gauge sinuous sofa springs ensures they'll continue to look their best after years of natural wear and tear. Many of the sofas in this collection also include loose lumbar pillows or square throw pillows, which you can reposition as needed to increase your comfort.

Cozy Sofa Upholstery Options

These cozy sofas also come in a wide range of upholstery fabrics, allowing you to further customize the look and feel of your living room seating. If you're looking for a luxurious material, opt for high-pile Astor velvet. This fabric is known for its incredible softness and rich color options, like nickel gray, ink blue and evergreen. If you're designing a busy family space, consider performance velvet instead, which has a similar feel but is more durable.

Genuine top-grain leather or vegan leather sofas are also great options for comfort-seekers. These sofas are available in a range of shade options, including black, brown, gray and navy. Genuine leather seating feels smooth and cool to the touch and is available with a matte or waxed finish. Natural wear and tear will give it a softer feel and a beautifully distressed look. Vegan leather seating has a very similar look but is more durable and easier to maintain. Consider pairing your sofa with a comfortable leather armchair for extra comfort.

Shop for a comfortable sofa at West Elm to create a relaxing seating area in your living room. Customize your sofa by selecting the width, seat depth and cushion feel that best fits your space and suits your comfort needs. Then, choose from a variety of soft upholstery materials and colors to complete the customization.
