The comfiest, the easiest to assemble, and the easiest on the eyes
Sofa-in-a-box. Photo: Bobby Doherty/New York Magazine In the year since we tried six sofas-in-a-box, there have been some developments — including the introduction of the much-hyped company Floyd and the opening of a City Point showroom where we were able to test out Joybird’s . A steady stream of start-ups continues to capitalize on shoppers’ desires to purchase even the biggest-ticket items sight unseen, as long as the price is moderate, the website sleek, and the assembly relatively easy.
What happened when we sat in it: The best part of this already exceptional sofa was the width of the seat: It’s so easy to spread out and pass out on it practically felt like a bed. That’s not to say the cushions weren’t comfy af. They were. They’re made of foam but have a top layer that creates a cozier feel , and you can perceive that mix of airiness and density that the foam provides but also the coziness of the top layer.
The fine print: It takes about six weeks from order to delivery. A 30-day return policy means if you’re unhappy, someone will pick it up and whisk it away. The assembly: The sofa arrives in four boxes, and the company says it should take less than 45 minutes to build. Per the website, putting it together seems pretty straightforward.What happened when we sat in it: The cushions were surprisingly buoyant but also welcoming and enveloping. However, even after just lounging for a bit and moving around, we could sometimes detect the wooden frame beneath the cushions and had to readjust.
The fine print: Returns with a refund are accepted for 90 days. Returns made within 14 days will also refund shipping costs. The assembly: Incredibly easy. Free shipping via UPS , and pieces attach with snapping hinges. We saw Burrow’s co-founder assemble and disassemble a two-seater in five minutes.What happened when we sat on it: Springy, comfortable, and supportive but not deep, it was good for sitting upright but less suited for sprawling out for a Netflix marathon.
The verdict: A good starter sofa for a first apartment out of college. Aesthetes might find the selection lacking, but it’s a broader range than most. What happened when we sat on it: It was very comfortable, thanks to a soft, down-like polyester fill in the back cushions, but the armrests were bony. The cushions were stuffed with an extra-firm polyurethane foam — not ideal for committed couch potatoes.
The fine print: You can return the sofa for up to 365 days after you receive it, but within 14 days you get a full refund. After that, you’ll be charged a 10 percent restocking fee. Deliveries typically take 8 to 12 weeks.The verdict: If you’re looking for more-interesting silhouettes, don’t care to assemble a sofa yourself, and have commitment issues, look no further.
What happened when we sat on it: It felt sturdy. The Can is daybed-size, with firm cushions filled with foam and feathers — it felt like stretching out on a Japanese futon.
