Rowe Madeline Velvet 90" Sofa vs Portola Rolled Arm Pleated Sofa

Buy the Rowe Madeline if you want a deep, feather-filled bench seat and a sofa that arrives quickly from stock. Buy the Portola if you want a skirted, made-to-order look and a choice of linen, velvet or performance weaves. The Rowe is the more distinctive piece, with turned spool legs, casters and a single cloud-down cushion; the Portola is the more configurable one, built to order on a solid wood frame. Owners of feather-blend bench seats generally report plush comfort but more fluffing and rotating than foam.

• Choose the Rowe Madeline if you want a 90-inch velvet sofa with a single feather-blend bench cushion, spool legs and casters, available from stock.
• Choose the Portola if you want a skirted, slope-arm sofa made to order in your choice of linen, velvet or performance fabric.
