Cloud Modular Sectional Sofa with Chaise vs Bea Velvet Tufted Sofa

Pick the Cloud Modular if you need flexible seating for a family room, want a chaise that swaps sides, and value a washable velvet cover and down-fill cushions. Pick the Bea if you want a single fixed sofa with a tailored tufted look, a kiln-dried solid wood frame, and a much higher weight capacity. The Cloud wins on configurability and seating capacity; the Bea wins on build rigidity and finish. Owners of the Cloud call it soft and easy to set up; Bea reviewers call it firm, solid and chic, and note the legs are easy to attach yourself.

• Choose the Cloud Modular Sectional if you seat three to four people, want a reversible chaise and a cover you can wash, and don't mind letting the vacuum-packed foam expand over about 72 hours.
• Choose the Bea if you want one fixed, tailored sofa with a solid wood frame, tufted velvet and a deep low seat, and you don't need to rearrange the layout.
