The Best Sofas and Couches in Canada

The Burrard sectional sofa is an ideal choice for a large living room. It has a slick angular mid-century/Scandinavian design, slender arms and tapered legs make this sofa look elegant, yet lightweight keeping the space between the floor and the couch. Overall, the form and colour of the Burrard sofa are unextravagant and fairly simple: it will fit perfectly into a minimalist style living room with no extra details needed, and for a more eclectic look you can just add a few patterned pillows and a colourful throw on.   

One customer noted that her one concern was that it would not be as comfortable as she hoped, but she was wrong. It offers the best of both worlds: you can comfortably relax and put your feet up on the coffee table or, practice better posture sitting straight up when your feet are on the ground. Besides that, before you buy the couch, you have an option to pick whether a sectional arrangement will be on the right or left.  

All cushions are loose with removable covers, which means you can easily take them off for dry cleaning and vacuuming the sofa. Burrard sofa is made from high resiliency foam with duck down feathers and fibre filling, and100% polyester fabric.   

Lovesac has everything you want from a sectional couch. The idea is that you can build your couch like a Lego kit by moving sections around, expanding it or decreasing in size if needed. The simple way it works is you build your couch right on the website from as many sections as you need, choose cover colour, type of filling, and add accessories like a roll arm drink holder. The whole advantage is that the unit is fully customizable. Depends on the size of your room, the number of people in your family and their preferences, you can choose where and how the couch will stand and what size it will be.   

Another feature we love about Lovesac sectional sofas is that instead of buying a new couch you can always replace pillow covers. The brand offers nearly 17 types of fabrics and 250+ cover colour options. As one customer noted, the couch was pricey, but she thinks the convenience of being able to clean and change covers is going to be worth it. 

This essential sofa from Burrow includes all the clever, life-changing features like a built-in USB charger and tight olefin fibre weave that is inherently scratch and stain-resistant. You can also customize a sofa with five fabric colour options, six-leg finishes, and three armrest heights to fit perfectly into your home décor. Also, back cushions are reversible: one side shows a classic look, the other smooth and contemporary.  

One customer noted that they have a long, skinny living room and wanted something modular that could be moved around or changed up easily. Also, this Arch Nomad three-seater sofa has plenty of room for three people, was easy to put together, and instructions were readily available right on each box.   

This is also our pick for the best sofa bed.

The Carly sofa bed combines modern, minimal design, raised track arms, and soft cushions. Cushions are removable, so you can easily vacuum the couch. Even though the material is a durable 100% polyester (however, it also depends on the colour you pick, some of them come as a cotton blend), the brand suggests spot treatment with mild detergent or solvent and a damp cloth.  

The sofa can accommodate two people sitting and when unfolded as a bed turns into a queen-size sleeper.   

Another attractive feature is that the Carly sofa was designed and crafted in North Carolina.   

If you are feared for the condition of your living room couch because kids keep trying to build a fort out of cushions, it might be the right time to consider one of the Cushy Couch sets. Cushy Couch is a Calgary-based family-owned company that created a couch for kids that they could never find locally while raising their children and grandchildren.   

Cushy Couch is a set of pillows in large and small sizes, in triangle and square shapes that can be rearranged into a slide, sitting section, a little bed, a fort, a boat, a mountain and into anything that your child imagines.   

The cushions are easy to transport around the house, so whether little adventurers decide to play in the living room, nursery or basement, they can carry them around.   

Perhaps, the main question all parents ask is how to clean Cushy Couch. While the outside covers are made from durable microsuede, and you can machine wash on delicate mode, spot cleaning is what is recommended. In fact, the brand says that the best method to clean the Cushy Couch is using a little bit of Windex: simply spray directly onto the spot left from a piece of chocolate and using a sponge rub gently in a circular motion and let it dry. 

Genuine leather is the best material for a couch for dog owners. It is thick, durable and mild scratches only add to the vintage-like look of the furniture. This Lesa couch features genuine leather, clean lines, and tapered legs. The elegant mid-century look adds modern sophistication to any living room decor. It is a timeless and attractive centrepiece for any house. As one customer noted, it is a sleek but comfy and snuggly unit. The colour is just as described and looks like the photos. She has had the couch for about a month and still just stares at it because it is so beautiful! 

The frame is made from solid, kiln-dried hardwood, and high-density foam padding provides lasting comfort and support even when you fall on the couch (or if a heavy dog jumps on it).   

This is another leather sofa on our list, yet this Natuzzi Editions Bergamo three-seat sofa comes at a higher price. It features a mid-century modern style with a handsome tufted back and sitting, a slim base, armrests and angled wood legs. Upholstered in Italian tanned leather this sofa is comfortable to sit and lay on a durable material and the three-cushion sitting system allows utmost comfort.   

Natuzzi is a furniture brand, based in Santeramo, Italy that adheres to international standards of quality management and environmental protection: that is why they gained such popularity, and despite a high price tag their leather sofas are considered one of the best ones on the market. 

Structube offers furniture that comes at an attractive price, yet fairly durable quality and most importantly all their pieces are on-trend and look like if they just came from Pinterest mood boards. Thus, if you want the best sofa under $1000, that would look elegant, stylish and would provide comfortable sitting for the next few years, consider this Kinsey model.   

As one customer observed, she loves the modern style of this couch. Also, for the price, it is decently comfortable and is a good size for a small apartment. The material is also perfect for cats as she has two, and they have shown no interest in scratching it.  

The Kinsey sofa is inspired by the mid-century style, yet looks modern enough due to details. It features a smooth velvety texture, sleek contemporary styling, and functional forms that can easily be mixed with eclectic décor items. Because of its self-sufficient style and compact size (that however can fit at least four people), we find Kinsey as the best sofa for a studio apartment.   

Another affordable option for a small living room or a basement is this IKEA UPPLAND couch. Deep and soft cushions are made of pocket springs, high resilience foam and polyester fibres, thus they add both firm support and relaxing softness. The main material made of polyester fibers and cut foam promises that cushions will retain their shape year after year.  

UPPLAND sofa cover is removable and machine washable. According to one reviewer, while it is not the most comfortable sofa in the world, it is a great sofa for the price. She likes that the sofa cover is removable and washable and she is planning to buy an extra cover in a different colour. Speaking of colours, there are seven options available.   

Even though Crate and Barrel might not be the most affordable place to shop for furniture, their selection of designer, unique pieces is impressive. This Amalie love seat features comfortable lounging with a low armrest and soft velvety texture. Also, rounded solid oak legs with a natural finish add to the contemporary elegant style. The sofa is perfectly sized for small rooms, it is compact and can be combined with chairs or another bigger couch.   

While this love seat due to design features can be a centrepiece of any room, it has one slight disadvantage. It is not recommended if you have kids, pets or if you prefer drinking colourful juices or coffee sitting on the sofa. The cover and cushions are not removable; thus, you can only clean it by spot treatment and vacuuming on the top.   

Cozey sofas are customizable, and that is what everyone loves about them. You can select from two-seat to four seats plus add an ottoman or a chaise for the best sofa with chaise, and two different armrest styles. The sofa features kiln-dried larch and 100% polyester durable fabric. The cushions are made of different layers of high-density foam that promises maximum comfort whether you lay or sit on the sofa. (Every seat can hold a maximum of 350 lbs.) One customer noted that she was a little worried about ordering a couch online without feeling the material (however, you can order swatches in advance) and sitting on it first but all she can say now is how impressed she is with it: it is super comfortable and was very easy to put together.  

Another attractive fact about Cozey is that the sofa is entirely designed and conceptualized in Montreal, although made with their manufacturing partner in China. 

We love this compact two-seat sofa from Article because it comes at an affordable price and in stylish mid-century design. The Ceni sofa combines the classic with the modern with its plush seating (you probably could have seen similar couches in movies and TV shows about the 70s), sleek track arms and clean lines. The base with slanted legs enhances strong and sturdy wooden construction. Cushion seats, backrests and armrests are detachable that allows not only comfortably snuggle up, but also easy cleaning.   

The Ceni couch is available in six different colours from Pyrite Gray for a minimalist living room to Seagrass Green for a retro eclectic one. 

Walker outdoor sofa from Crate and Barrel features architectural lines of the powder-coated frame in dark grey that coordinates with boxy sapphire-blue cushions covered in weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric. Speaking of cushions, they have zippers that can be used to ventilate and facilitate drying.   

According to a satisfied customer, she hesitated to invest this much in outdoor furniture, but she is glad she did: the quality of the sofa is exemplary. The base is heavy and has a beautiful finish. She also added that the cushions are very well made and extremely comfortable to lounge on.  

Another customer noted that she was reluctant to buy any outdoor furniture made from any type of metal, but the dust in her region means endless cleaning of outdoor decor. This Walker sofa turned out to be the most perfect outdoor sitting unit: it was easy to clean and so far, even her four kids have not ruined it.

If you have a library or your living room is finished in a classic, sophisticated fashion, this pumice-coloured Kayln sofa is one of the best Chesterfield sofas that will fit perfectly in any of those rooms. Velvety chenille encases looks classic and elegant, yet provides comfortable relaxing touch. Besides, the material button tufting goes up the couch’s high back and lightly flared arms add to the captivating design. Meanwhile, high-density foam cushions and fabric piping that surrounds them makes it a comfortable place for laying, reading and simply lounging.   

As for cleaning the sofa, the Brick suggests regularly vacuum the upholstery to remove dust and debris and use a warranty-approved fabric cleaner for spills and stains. 

If you are interested or know a little about interior design, then you are probably as obsessed with Mario Bellini sofas as the rest of us. This sectional Camaleonda sofa presents an outstanding modern design where sections can be used freely and apart from one another. Rings and carabiners at the backs and armrests allow you to create a perfect ‘seating landscape’ according to the living room layout. As one satisfied customer noted this sofa was an excellent investment: her office needed casual meeting space and the sleek design of this couch was perfect for it. The Mario Bellini Camaleonda sofa is a truly very comfortable unit and the modular option of design, provides endless flexible solutions for any living room: You can either keep it straight or fit it one part in the corner saving some space in the middle of the room. Another customer noted that it is the best floor sofa for it has no legs, thus when her kids jump and bounce on it, it stays in a perfect shape.
