Best sofas for living rooms

Top pick: the 4-Seat Modular Sofa — the highest-rated sofa here by a wide margin, and modular means you can rearrange it as the room changes. Best all-rounder for a normal living room.

Who the others suit:

• Crate & Barrel Gather Deep Sofa — leather, very deep seats: for lounging and movie nights, if you have the floor space.
• Macy 6-Seat U-Shaped Modular — big families and open-plan rooms that need a lot of seating.
• Albany Park Kova — a softer, more design-led look when the sofa is the centrepiece.
• Lofka Cloud Sectional / BYBYME L-Shaped — first sofas or rented places where budget matters most.
• BedLuxury 47" Loveseat — small rooms, apartments and reading corners.

Check seat depth and doorway width before you commit — deep sofas look smaller online than in a room.
