As a home design editor, I adore Article's Leigh Pit Sectional for its plush, cloud-like cushions and range of trendy fabric options. Article calls this style its "comfiest sofa ever," complete with angled armrests and low-back cushions.

Choose from a performance fabric or super soft boucle—or have up to three free swatches delivered to you if it's hard to decide. In-stock fabrics deliver within two weeks, while custom colors will take around two months. You can add in-room ($119) or white-glove delivery ($199).

Ideal for hosting overnight guests, this sturdy modular sofa offers endless configurations and hidden storage for throw blankets, pillows, books, etc. The fabric—while not the most luxe—is soft and durable, according to online reviewers. It's available in two shades of gray, black, and peacock blue. There are also four size options, so you can find the perfect fit for your living room layout.

Many online reviewers rave dabout the versatility of this sofa; they loved that it's easy to assemble (tools are included) and rearrange as needed. Bonus: The sides recline for extra comfort. "It's not just a couch—it's a stylish and versatile piece of furniture that has transformed my living space," says one reviewer who gave it five stars.

If you're partial to modern styles, consider Castlery's popular Dawson pit sectional, featuring deep cushions filled with foam and feathers. The sofa is a bit pricey, but it's available in a ton of upholstery options, including a lightweight linen, a cozy boucle-like material, and velvet-inspired fabrics. If you're not sure which fabric to choose, the brand will send up to three free swatches.

"The comfort level is off the charts," wrote one online reviewer. "The cushions are plush and provide excellent support. Whether you're lounging for hours binge-watching your favorite shows or hosting a gathering with friends, this sectional is the place to be."

Add a touch of sophistication to your space with this splurge-worthy pit sectional, known for its plush, down-alternative cushions and modular design. The seat cushions are also an impressive 38 inches deep, designed for true lounging. Choose from textured weave, classic weave, and velvet, plus a range of versatile colors.

While this pit sectional is expensive, it's made to last—even in households with pets and children. Not only are the couch covers designed to be water-repellent and stain-resistant, but they can be removed and machine washed in cold water on the delicate cycle. You can even replace the covers down the road if you grow bored of the shade.

Several online reviewers noted how much they loved the appearance, comfort, and how easy it is to clean. Many also complimented the brand's customer service. "This is the best sectional I've ever purchased," said one reviewer. "It's beautiful, functional, and elegant. The team has been so helpful with helping me choose the right color."

If comfort is your top priority, look no further than the Harmony Pit Sectional from West Elm—which we've voted the best RH Cloud couch dupe for its sinkable cushions and cloud-like feel. In terms of firmness (with 5 being the firmest), West Elm rates this pick a 1. Our panelists described this sectional as "extremely comfortable."

On top of delivering a cozy feel, the Harmony Pit Sectional has a stylish look and can be customized in over 100 different fabrics (including basketweave, velvet, and linen). Just note that because this sofa is custom, it may take months to be delivered—it's also a bit pricey compared to other picks.

If you've got a small living room, Amazon has your solution with this stylish sofa that's only 87 inches wide. According to online reviewers, the modular sofa is easy to assemble, sturdy, and offers a lot of value for the money. Each piece of the couch can be moved and reassembled freely, making it possible to accommodate small or awkward layouts. Probably the best part? The modular pieces all contain hidden storage, a game-changer for apartment or tiny-house living.

If you are looking for something a bit larger but still budget-friendly, HONBAY offers a bigger sectional, which has 10 pieces in total. No matter which option you choose, Amazon will ship your item for free within a few days. The only downside? The modern sofa is only available in gray.

Another great choice for small spaces, this sleek sectional lounger from Burrow is only 91.5 inches wide and is delivered in compact boxes (great for narrow, apartment hallways). Online reviewers loved that the low profile and deep-seat setup can be reconfigured to fit their space. One wrote, "Each section is easy to assemble and combine. The instructions were simple to follow as well. The boxes weren’t too heavy where I couldn’t bring them inside by myself."

Choose from four fabrics and three leg finishes to find a chic match for your interior. Note that some styles may take weeks to deliver.

Although a bit pricey, the Arhaus Coburn Pit Sectional is a beauty. It has deep cushions, square arms, and a ton of toss pillows that give it a luxurious feel. It's upholstered in a performance fabric that was designed to resist stains, and there are a number of neutral hues to choose from, including multiple cream shades. The brand will also send you up to five free swatches, so you can find the perfect color.

Rated as the best overall modular sofa by the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, the Lovesac Sactional is a great pick for families and kids, or anyone who loves the flexibility of changing their living room layout on a regular basis.

It also doubles as a guest bed for those without a guest bedroom.

Another great attribute of this modern sofa: Each cover can be removed and machine washed (genius for households with kids and pets). The brand allows you to customize nearly everything, from the fabric color and fill material to arm style. Some testers noted that this sofa is difficult to assemble.

Although this modular sofa only has four pieces, online reviewers agreed it feels large and spacious. It can be converted from a traditional sectional into an extra-long sofa, then into a pit sectional with ease. Reviewers found the deep seats to be comfortable and confirm the corduroy fabric is soft. One wrote, "It’s so deep that you kind of have to climb in (5'3" person)."

This well-designed modern sofa is available in four popular color options: grey, blue, hunter green, and cream. While most reviewers were pleased with their purchase overall, some were unhappy that the couch took over a month to be delivered.
