Which is better for a family with kids and pets?

The Savana. Leather wipes clean and does not hold hair the way velvet pile does. The Modway's stain-resistant velvet helps with spills but still crushes and traps lint.

Which sofa is more comfortable for tall people?

The Modway Adept. Its seat is 25.5 inches deep and 18 inches high, against 22.4 inches deep and 16.9 inches high on the Savana. Tall sitters get more thigh support on the Modway.

Is the leather sofa worth the extra money?

We have no new price listed for the Savana, so we cannot compare the gap. Leather generally outlasts velvet and needs less care, which matters if you keep furniture 10 years or more.

Which one lasts longer?

The Savana has the edge on materials: top-grain leather, a corner-block reinforced pine and plywood frame and sinuous springs. The Modway uses birchwood and foam with fixed tufting, which is fine for light use.

Will the ivory velvet stain?

It is stain-resistant performance velvet, so spills bead up and wipe off if you act quickly. Light-colored pile still shows dirt and body oils over time, so plan on regular cleaning.

How much assembly does each need?

The Savana needs minimal assembly, though buyers report some steps take two people. The Modway ships as one piece with legs to attach; the splayed birchwood legs with gold caps screw in.
