Nothing completes a living room like a cocooning sofa that you sink into. Whether you’re looking for an oversize, pit-style pick for lounging, or seeking out a sleeper sofa for hosting overnight guests—consider the modular sofa. The modular sofa is a piece of furniture with several interchangeable parts, allowing you to personalize the ultimate resting spot in your living room. Ranging from classic to modern to curved, the best modular sofas all promise comfort, style, and maneuverability.

Many designs give you the flexibility to move pieces around at any moment, while others have a modular lineup to work with during the ordering process. Depending on your preferences, you have the opportunity to fully customize a sofa for your home. Plus, there are bonus features you’ll find, like extra storage space and a charging hub (we’re looking at you, Lovesac Sactional).

Below, we’ve listed the top-rated, best-selling modular sofas on the market today. If you love maximizing your space—and mixing it up every once in a while—these flexible furniture pieces are a must. Of course, our favorites also scored rave reviews for their overall look and feel.

Sactional

Trademarked as “the world's most adaptable couch,” Sactionals constantly come up in conversation about the top modular sofas. This pit-style offering is a favorite among the various configurations available because you can work with a total of eight seats and 10 sides. Among the many customizations on the table, you can also get special add-ons, like a charging hub, extra storage space, and a sleeper conversion option.

Dimensions: 140" W x 29" H x 82" D | Upholstery: 150+ options | Assembly Required: Yes

A Lovesac reviewer says: “I don’t think I can say enough about the Sactional. The quality is worth the money I spent. I plan to add more pieces as I adjust my needs. I have six bases and six sides, and my space in the living room is 12x24 (minus the bookshelf) if it helps you to plan. I wanted the pieces to be the room’s focal point to ensure comfortability. I plan to add two sides and one base on hand when I need to host my family.”

Mitzi Modular Sectional Sofa

Within three weeks, you can have this classic modular sofa delivered to your front door. It’s made to comfortably accommodate up to five people, and there are a total of five pieces included in this set. Unlike many other modular sofas, this one comes only in the upholstery color and style pictured.

Dimensions: 117" W x 31" H x 117" D | Upholstery: Polyester | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

Remi Leather Modular Sofa

Most often, we see polyester upholstery for modular sofas. West Elm has entered the chat with this luxurious leather sofa, complete with both genuine and faux leather options. There are also two sizes to choose from, and there are several pieces you can purchase to complete your collection.

Dimensions: 72" W x 26" H x 36" D (72" Sofa) or 108" W x 26" H x 36" D (108" Sofa) | Upholstery: Leather or faux leather | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

Harmony Modular Sleeper Sofa

The Harmony modular collection is well known for its plush cushioning, and it ranks among the comfiest couches sold by West Elm. It’s also handy for frequent hosts, since it can transform into a sleeper too. Add or modify your Harmony sofa by building your own special sectional.

Dimensions: 85" W x 37" H x 43" D for sofa; 85" W x 37" H x 90" D for sleeper | Upholstery: 150+ options | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

Carson Sectional Sofa with Ottoman

Retro and modern meet to create this modular sofa, which stands out, thanks to its rounded, low-profile look. There are 12 upholstery options, and you can expand your sectional by adding another ottoman or accent chair.

Dimensions: 117" W x 27" H x 77" D | Upholstery: 10+ options | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

Kova Pit

Pit sofas date back to the 1970s, but this design is ultramodern and ultracomfortable. Albany Park has increased the amount of cushioning provided in the most updated design, and some happy customers even shared that they’d rather sleep on their Kova than in their own bed. Each one is also made to order, so you can decide which pieces you want to purchase to fully customize your own modular sofa.

Dimensions: 122” W X 39” H X 79” D | Upholstery: 10+ options | Assembly Required: Yes

An Albany Park reviewer says: “Worth every penny! The couch is amazing and so comfy. Super high quality! Can’t wait to purchase more items from Albany Park for our new home.”

Hampton Modular Armed Sofa

You can appreciate modularity in your backyard with the Hampton sofa from Serena & Lily. There are multiple configurations and additional pieces available, so you can easily create a luxurious resting spot in your outdoor space. It’s one of the pricier options on this list, and keep in mind that it’s made to order and nonreturnable.

Dimensions: 117” W X 34” H X 39” D | Upholstery: 30+ options | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

Corduroy Celine Modular Armless Sofa

You’ll get texture and style with this conversation-starting set from Anthropologie. There are only two colors, but when they come in a baby blue and beige camel, we’re not mad about it. Keep in mind that each modular piece is sold separately, so you’ll have to build your sofa by adding everything you need to your cart, one by one.

Dimensions: 69.3” W X 31.75” H X 38” D | Upholstery: Corduroy | Assembly Required: White glove delivery available

An Anthropologie reviewer says: “This sectional is both beautiful and comfortable. The corduroy fabric is sooo soft and luxurious.”

Swoosh Modular Solvang Two-Piece Sofa

This on-trend bouclé sofa is anything but outdated, but it draws inspiration from conversation sets that were popular back in the 1970s. It’s sold as a two-piece sofa set, and you can also add different pieces or even opt for the velvet version.

Dimensions: 119" W x 32.3" H x 46.1" D | Upholstery: Bouclé | Assembly Required: Yes

Three-Seat Sectional

The modularity of this sectional begins with your first decision: the configuration. There are six in total, but we’re partial to the three-seater style shown here. The real magic, though? The ability to add one, two, or three recliners to the sectional. Disclaimer: Once fully reclined, you may never want to leave this perch.

Dimensions: 124.8" W x 37" H x 39.4" D | Upholstery: Linen or velvet | Assembly Required: Yes

A Homebody reviewer says: “I love my couch! It’s so comfortable and beautiful! Putting the couch together wasn’t bad at all. Each part comes in its own box and on the box it tells you which part it is. It’s worth every penny!”

What to look for in a modular sofa

There’s a checklist we run through while shopping for modular sofas. Here’s what we recommend prioritizing during your own search:

• Modularity. It goes without saying, but just how modular a sofa is really matters. If you want one you can move around and reconfigure from time to time, make sure you have invested in a flexible option that you can easily maneuver. You’ll also want to note that some require the purchase of additional pieces for full modular function.

• Cushioning. Everyone has a preferred firmness level. While some like a super soft, cushioned seat, others would rather have a little more support. Understanding the fill material and looking at reviews can help you better understand what you’re working with.

• Maintenance. Whether you have pets or babies running around, will never give up that evening wine that occasionally spills on the couch, or have other cleaning concerns, it’s best to seek out modular sofas that have removable cushion covers or other more straightforward care instructions.

• Style. These are functional pieces, but they shouldn’t be eyesores in your home. Look for modular sofas that reflect the style of your existing space, whether that’s clean and coastal, colorful and retro, or anything else in between.

• Bonus features. We love any opportunity to sign on for “extras” offered by a furniture item. Some of the best modular sofas also have a reclining function, charging port, and more.
