I have been going crazy over trying to find a sectional that will fit my living room (125” by 100”). We have visited a ton of the big box stores in our area (Ashley, R&F, Big Lots) and have been striking out with the layout being too big for our space, colors and comfort of those sectionals. I’ve also heard those aren’t the best quality brands either. I made a grave mistake by going to the Lovesac store and sitting in a Sactional. It checks all of my boxes for comfort/deep seating, modular, color (our living room is browns/tans/creams), and the warranty. However, the price tag is making me hesitant at $5.7k and my boyfriend thinks I’m crazy for entertaining the idea. We also have 2 cats (neither of them have touched our current couches) but that is also something we’d like to take into consideration when choosing a fabric. I love the idea of being able to wash the couch covers or at least having a sectional where the back pillows come off, without them looking too slouchy or lumpy.

To anyone that has a Lovesac Sactional, is it worth the price tag? What do you like/dislike about it? How do I know if this couch is right for our family?

Thank you in advance for your help :)

I’ve tried to price this thing out to seat 8. No matter which way I slice it…. Around $10k

So my question to all of you current owners especially those a year or more in, do you feel like you get that value out of it?

Quite honestly I can buy a super nice $3k sectional every two years and change the style for the same price.

Went to the store sat in it.. being 6’5” it’s super comfortable…. But is it $10k comfortable?

Hello! My fiance and I are first time homebuyers and wondering if a lovesac sactional is the way to go.

For starters, we are NOT cheap people, we are frugal. We buy most things in cash & have no debt except our mortgage, so we live pretty comfortable with our finances. We don’t live outside our means in any way, but we do like to splurge on high quality expensive items if they are worth it. We have the mindset, we would rather buy something special that is worth the price tag instead of having to repurchase an item multiple times because we cheap out on quality. (We just invested in a set of Henckels kitchen knives that we are in love with.)

With all that being said, we are highly considering a lovesac sactional as our living room sofa. We love everything about the sactional, how customizable it is in terms of being able to rearrange it, it is stain proof & washable which are the biggest selling points considering we plan on having children & a dog, and love hosting in the living room. It is considered very high quality and durable.

We would hate to spend even $3000 on a sofa that is only going to last us a couple years and look worn out.

To us it is definitely an investment, but the thought of having a couch for a lifetime and only having to purchase it once is what justifies the average $10k price tag.

Before we commit and make the purchase, I want to hear all comments thoughts and opinions? Do you love your sactional? Would you repurchase? How long have you had yours? Is it TRULY stain resistant? If not a lovesac, is there something else you would recommend that is comparable with the same qualities (stain proof, washable, rearrangeable, etc)

Remember we aren’t looking for cheap, we are looking for long term quality.

Thanks!

We're couch shopping and really like the Sactional, but am curious if any of ya'll have any buyers remorse? I've never spent more than $1500~ish for a sofa set, and our config is coming in at nearly $10k after tax and with the 30% heroes discount.

It'd be for myself, my girlfriend, and our two dogs. We do spend a lot of time on the couch, and one of our dogs mysteriously ends up with mud on their feet sometimes, so we're really attracted to being able to machine wash the covers, and replace only portions if needed.

We're considering the Rhyder Sectional from Macys for $2400 +tax: https://imgur.com/a/JLU9DZD

... the Carnaby Linen Sectional from Ashley for $2500 +tax: https://imgur.com/a/gUiWAGx

... and of course, this Lovesac config in Tonal Sterling Luxe Chenille for $8925 (after heroes discount) +tax: https://imgur.com/a/gJzWTtU

So for real.... is it really worth it?

We're not wealthy by any means, so $10k for a couch seems absolutely bonkers to me, but I do believe in investing in BIFL items, and I do believe in investing in comfort, so while it's a tough pill to swallow, am still considering it.... but would love a reality check from ya'll!

Does anyone have any regrets about purchasing a sactional? I would like to get one but a price tag of over $6000 (after discounts) has me nervous.

Edit: Thank you for all the comments. Sounds like there are a lot of cons for how expensive these things are.

Hi everyone!

So I've been eyeing a sactional for a few years now, and I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger. I've done some research on pricing but I am wondering what is the peak time to buy ? What is the top-discount I can expect to get; 25 percent off?

I went to the store today and missed the 25 percent off, but was told it happens often. When should I start looking for the next 25 percent off sale on couches?

I do have a couple discount codes as well (student, referral). Are they always stackable as they are now? Like, is it worth it to "hold on" to them until the next bigger sale? The rep stated that they could stack the discounts but I didn't think to ask if that's a promotion or always an option.

I'm hoping to get a 5 seat, 6 side combination with corded velvet covers, 2 cupholders, one table and two arm pillows. Retail is $7305 before taxes. Today, my local store quoted me $6412 including taxes.

Thanks so much! :-)

If you’re considering purchasing, take this with a grain of salt! If you’ve already purchased, add your thoughts (even if they’re as manic as mine)

• don’t take your young children with you. They will climb all over everything and you won’t make the proper considerations.

• when testing the sofa, act like you’re at home. Pull your feet up, lounge, lay on it. Or you’ll be like me and get the standard size initially when truly you want the deep seats and you’ll have to exchange stuff and it’s a pain in the butt.

• make sure to pick a fill. We didn’t, and we were actually upsold on the “lovesoft” which we wouldn’t have picked because my husband has spinal issues. We just assumed the standard would in fact be standard (and the boxes sat in our garage for weeks while waiting). But also we were refunded $800 (again, don’t take the kids bc you won’t notice 💸)

• delivery takes a while. And sometimes in several deliveries.

• make sure you actually receive everything and don’t start unboxing until you do, because chaos.

• watch the videos of the inventor putting them together. It will save you so much time and heartache.

• unbox and sort everything. Be tedious about this

• this will take you HOURS. Even if you’re working your butt off. You will regret your choices very very early.

• the thought “I can’t believe I spent this much money and they don’t even offer install” will go through your mind while you drop your 15th f bomb while bending your nail backwards trying to get the cover on.

• they don’t go together as well as you think. The thought of stomping on it will go through your head and actually that is something you should act on (the dude even does that in the videos)

• have some kind of alcohol on hand (unless you don’t drink, and then I suggest having a punching bag that you’ll be too tired to hit anyway)

• it takes a hot minute for the sofa to actually feel comfortable. You’ll think seriously about returning it until the daunting realization that you would have to box it all back up is too intimidating to consider. You should definitely let your kids run all over it or borrow kids to do this for you. It really helps.

• its not nearly as versatile as you imagined it would be. Ours really only goes into one configuration without having to purchase additional things or store others.

• the recliner kind of sucks. Not to mention you’re going to lose the remote.

• you’re not going to be cleaning under it because it’s a pain in the butt to move. Put blockers to prevent stuff from going under. It’ll drive you crazy (trust me, as I am crazy)

• the first time you wash it, its going to give you a PTSD feeling (this is a joke, I understand the gravity of ptsd and have some myself, but dark humor is my wingman) of when you first got this together. And it’ll be a full day thing because you’re not supposed to use a dryer. And it’ll take 10 hours to dry.

• you’ll wish you could have multiple covers for it but that is a pipe dream because they’re so expensive

So. Do I like it? Yes. Do I love it? Ehhh. We bought two sofas at the same time, one upstairs and one downstairs (finished basement). The downstairs one is from Ashley, was around 1/6 of the price. Came put together and delivered inside. Just as comfortable. Or maybe I like it better from the above mentioned things. Who really knows at this point. Is it growing on me though? Yes. It’s such an amazing movie night sofa. It’s definitely a cuddle couch. But we have it so there’s a queen size bed on the end at all times. We wondered about how that would be when company came over, but ultimately decided that we like the configuration regardless of if guests are comfortable lol.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas out there!!

Hey! I wanted to share our experience with our Sactional. Our old couch, as you can see, was tired, only had two comfortable seats to sit in, and hurt you if you sat on a joint. It was comfortable in a way that your favorite old hoodie was comfortable. It was perfect around the house, but less so when it was someone other than family that was present. And we have a 1 year old with one more on the way. So it was time.

My wife and I couldn’t really decide what we wanted to replace it with. We discussed more chairs and a smaller couch. We discussed a larger couch. We tried to figure out how to configure what we didn’t know we were getting. You know, then normal dreaming phase. It was great fun!

We started shopping at furniture stores and surprised that an entry level sectional at the Room Place was $900, the first one we saw that we actually liked was $3700. (I still like reclining sectionals, but you win some, you lose some). Their most expensive one was $4,200. Very different than when we did this a decade ago.

Leaving the Room Place (place of last purchase) and going to the Dump, the second couch we saw there was the same $4,200 couch we saw at the Room Place, marked up to $7,600, then discounted to $3,700. So at least it upped the dump is cheaper right? They had a lot of great options but we didn’t see anything that called us, so we left.

Come December/Christmas sale time, my wife says Sactionals are on sale at Costco, and that one of her coworkers got one and loved it. I had a SuperSac for about a decade before she made me get rid of it to move in together. I knew the brand well and was really excited.

I came on Reddit and saw immediately not to order from Costco because of the lack of variability when designing your couch. Since variability is more or less the whole point of this, and I knew we’d want something less than standard, we decided to visit the showroom. Win #1.

We discuss on our walk to the showroom, while picking up a snack for our 1 year old, how much we were willing to spend. We priced our 6x8 with two storage seats at the 25% discount and knew our max. (We didn’t) The reason we didn’t buy online was because we wanted to feel the difference in the cushions and the angled sides. And I wanted to see what the StealthTech was all about.

We show up well versed in what we thought we wanted and had a happily eating baby. The show room was empty, so it made sampling the couches easy. The salespeople are really appreciative of taking your shoes off when you lay on the couch to sample nap time (Apparently this doesn’t happen often? Really?), and keeping your babies mess tightly contained. I am happy to report we successfully did both of those things.

We sampled the cushions and sides and picked the LoveSoft cushion with angled sides. We had him show us the StealthTech and it was really cool. Like REALLY cool, but we decided not to pull the trigger. We have a sound bar at home, and a nice set of wired speakers for our record player.

We decided to pull the purchase the 6x8 Sactional. The baby was getting antsy so I took her around the block to entertain her and let my wife make the significant design decisions. (Corded velvet in navy blue with two storage seats and fluffy white pillow cases they only had in store. I was very pleased). I came back to fill out the paperwork and give my wife and our daughter a change of scenery since I knew my wife was getting hungry and had zero interest in filling out an application.

3 years 0% isn’t what we had planned. So that was huge win #2 (kinda). I’m filling out what turned out to be a credit card application (I watched the manager yell at the employee for not making that clearer. I was... less than pleased, but would have still taken the TVM of 0%) and another family comes in and I get to hear the spiel all over again. They get to the StealthTech and turn the volume to the couch only and off the sound bar and you hear the volume drop in the surrounding room significantly, but you could still hear details on the couch, just softer. That is what got me. Just not right away. In reality, however, that’s not how it works. It is a little quieter since the speakers are across the room in a good way, but you still need the sound bar for watching tv. (Huge loss #1)

We were walking home with a fresh bottle for our daughter and I told my better half what I saw from a distance with another family trying the StealthTech. She was already interested, then I said ‘think about the movie immersion when watching Disney movies with the kids’. That was it. Done. As soon as I got home, I called to update the order. (Huge loss #1.5)

Apparently, once they hit submit, the order was placed. We had to update the order, not cancel and replace one. That's bad because it turns out parts of the StealthTech were back ordered. That, however, didn’t stop the rest of the order from coming in 3 total shipments. Once for 13 large boxes of the seats and such. Once for 3 boxes for non-speaker sides and pillows, and the last for 9 for all the StealthTech components. All over Christmas. With 2 being while we were out of town. ‘Twas a very pleasant, non stressful experience. /s

We ended up putting a vacation hold on the Fedex App and everything worked out. All that was sent was delivered. The unboxing and building is what it is. It sucks if you hate putting stuff together and get frustrated easily. I found it to be... there? I dunno. I was excited about my new couch, I was excited to not have the old couch, and I didn't really put much thought into the process while in said process.

A couple of key tricks I learned:

• With the StealthTech it is better to put the sides together first, not the seats and the sides. I had to put things together a few times, take them apart again before realizing this.

• The order of the cables is very important. If you plug all your cables into the unit first, make sure you dont mess the order up.

• If you have a wife that likes to wash things before using them, unpack the covers 24 hours before you actually plan to cover the couch. Do not do what I did and unpack the covers last for your wife to then say 'oh lets wash them first' while your old couch has been removed, and the new one is in pieces. They can't be dried, so hanging up the covers all around your house overnight is a bit of a delay and you wont have anywhere to sit.

• You need 4 people to comfortable lower an old sectional out of a second story door with 2” straps.

The Wrap-Up I kept seeing people say the Sactionals are bulky, and I didn't believe them. Then I saw it set up in my house and realized 'damn, thing really is bulky, isn't it?'. I see less expensive couches out there, but I didn't love them, and they dont have the speakers built in. Do I need a 8 speakers and a subwoofer built into my couch? No. But since we can afford it, do I think it's really REALLY cool? Yes. Is it audiophile quality sound? No, they are Bluetooth. We have our hardwired speakers for that. The couch is extremely comfortable. My wife is pleased with it. The baby loves running on it, and I find the built in conveniences like our two charging stations and hidden storage incredibly convenient.

I'm so happy we went to the showroom instead of ordering from Costco. Our sales people were very on top of the order, even will all the chaos that came from us altering our order. They let us know before fedex did when a label had been created. Followed up to see how assembly went. Asked why there hadn't been any movement from fedex while we had our vacation hold to ensure nothing was going wrong. Great great job. (less the new guy not telling me I was getting a credit card)

I also play racing games when I have time. In Forza 8, it was awesome to hear the car online be right beside you on clearly the left side, slowly fade back to directly behind you, then move to the right, miss his breaking point and not down downshifting told me he he was dive-bombing. I delayed my turn-in to take the middle of the corner instead of the apex, and that gave him time to fly by, and go into the wall and not take me with him.

Warnings: The 0% is a credit card. If you do this and are buying something, request double the amount you think you need. We got approved for less than our final purchase because we didn’t add the StealthTech to start. So we maxed out that credit card and that took our credit down 100 points. We currently don’t have a reason to care about that, but be aware.

The StealthTech headunit has had to be powered off and powered on to connect to my phone for 7 out of 8 days. This is annoying. Thanks again to Reddit, not unexpected.

Our navy blue couch makes everything black disappear. Remotes, phones, blankets, everything. More so than I expected. We had to put neon orange tape on our remotes to be able to find them.

10/10 would do again.

This is a response to my original post

Purchased 1/8, arrived 1/14

Help me out! I’m eyeing the sactional, as my family is need of a new couch that can hold up two big and tall people, kids and pets. This seems to be it. Our previous couch didn’t last more than a couple years with my family.

Are the sactionals really built to last? And are they really nontoxic?

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you everyone! I’ve made my decision. Appreciate it.

We tried lovesacs in a store, thought it was reasonably comfy, and liked the modular concept/accessories/customizability. But the quote we got for a configuration we put together in the store seemed just absurd. ($6k+ for a mini sectional with recliner, including 30% "discount", plus tax.)

I don't get it. I went to another store in the same neighborhood that sells fully custom made sofas, built locally, for about the same price or less. Lovesac comfort is good but not exceptional, about the same as our ~$1k sofa we bought from Macy's a few years ago. The recliner seems nifty, but not particularly ergonomic (try out any recliner in a store that specializes in back wellness and you'll know what I mean). The modularity is cool, but seems the resulting mass production of identical base pieces should drive prices down, not up.

So overall it seems they have built a brand that lets them overcharge folks for basic things, sort of like Peloton perhaps. Or am I missing something else?

I’m looking to buy a sactional in the near future, and I visited my local Costco to sit on the couch in person for the first time. The sales rep told me that the 6+8 bundle with lovesoft fill in the fabric I want would be $6799.

When I went on the lovesac site to price out the couch to price compare, it was only $100 cheaper for just the couch and same number of storage seats that come with the Costco bundle. And that’s supposedly with the 30% off deal? Regularly the couch on its own would be almost $9500?

I can’t tell if this is a classic tale of marking up the price to make it look like the couch is on sale but it actually isn’t, or if the price of the couch truly went up that much and the Costco bundle is really that good of a deal, and maybe it doesn’t reflect the new price of the couch?

Any insight?

Please let me begin this post by saying that this is not a hate post: this post is about being blown away by current prices. 10 years ago I bough a movie sac bundled with a sport cover for 230 dollars. It’s been the best piece of furniture we have ever had and I’m quite happy with it. Today a friend of mine finally moved to a bigger place and asked about my “bean bag, how much she loves it whenever she comes to visit and how she wants to get one” and I kindly told her “it’s not a bean bag it’s a love sac, and I paid around 230 dollars, bear in mind it was 10 years ago it must have gone up in price” a few hours later she replies with “2000 + dollars? Did you buy it used? No way it costs that much and you paid 200 usd” I could not believe her so I visited the page and to my surprise, she was right. What happened? I mean; like I said we love our movie sac but I’m not sure it’s worth 2000+ dollars Is it a different movie sac from the one I bought 10 years ago? Was the company sold and someone revamped it and jacked up the prices? Really curious on why the price difference

Thanks

Went to the local lovesac store a few days ago, had them build us a quote for a 6 seat 8 side sactional. The guy working there said that a 40% off sale (35 plus the 5 heros) just ended, and that was the first time in 5 years he had seen a discount that much. Is that true? Or should we hold off for the next 35% discount to come around? Currently have a 30% off lovesac emailed us yesterday.

I bought a Sky Grey corded velvet sectional about 18 months ago — standard three-seat configuration with the Lovesoft filling. It’s 8’3” long and cost around $4,400 after a 20% discount.

When it arrived, I thought it looked mediocre. Calling the fabric “velvet,” is a MASSIVE stretch. I knew while buying that the “velvet” was actually polyester and spandex, but I expected it to at least sort of feel velvety. Nope. Putting this fabric under the “velvet” category is just a crime.

Then I sat on it. The seat cushions were rock hard — zero give, even with the “lovesoft” filling. I jumped on them, tried to break them in (I’m 6’5”, 210 lbs), but here we are 18 months later and they’re still stiff and uncomfortable. I use this sofa for hours every day, so “break-in” is no longer an excuse. The back cushions? Great. The seats? Awful. I didn’t return it because I thought the cushions would eventually give, but mostly because the thought of deconstructing and boxing up all of those boxes was just too daunting.

I just spent a month in a rental with an RH Cloud Sofa and, my god, I’d forgotten what a truly comfortable sofa feels like. Now I’m drowning in buyer’s remorse. For what I paid for the Sactional, I could’ve had a 9’ Cloud with far more premium fabrics and actual comfort. Even the 7th Avenue Furniture version of the Cloud is way more comfortable, $3,275, and 32 inches longer.

Sure, those other sofas don’t have washable covers. But honestly? I’d rather have a sofa that doesn’t feel like a punishment chair and just get it professionally cleaned every couple of years.

I also know that buying a Lovesac means that you can add to it later on, but no thanks. If I just want to add another seat as an ottoman, that’s another $1,000 and I’m forced to buy a back cushion with it. So not worth it.

Ultimately, it’s my fault for not testing one in a Lovesac store before buying. Lesson learned. I did recently go into a Lovesac store with one of my seat cushions just to make sure I wasn’t sent standard cushions accidentally, but nope. I have the real deal.

If you’re looking for a sofa that’s actually comfortable, Lovesac isn’t it.

Bought a reclining seat to add in to our existing 5-seat Sactional setup setup because I kinda liked the idea of a recliner but we don't have space to add a separate one. I really wish I would have tried one out in the store first.

Price-wise, it was about ~$1400 with covers from the labor day sale for the seat/mechanism and a cover set to match our existing Sactional, which was expensive but I could live with it. But I finally set it up yesterday, and I was almost shocked at how much I hate the design - with NOTHING to support your head or neck at all when reclining, it actually becomes less comfortable than just a normal non-reclining seat. I'm not mega-tall or anything, I'm only 5'11", but the top of the couch when reclining doesn't even come all the way up to the top of my shoulder blades - so when I recline, my head and neck are just completely above the top of the couch with no support, so I'm just manually holding my head at an angle and it's super uncomfortable. Even if I sit WAY forward on the couch and slouch myself in with the worst posture imaginable, my head doesn't even come anywhere close to a single scrap of support - it's awful. My wife (who is only 5'3") even sat in it and was surprised that it wasn't tall enough to give her any neck/head support - she could slouch really hard and get a tiny bit, but still hated it immediately.

I'm kicking myself for not trying this in the showroom ahead of time or something because this is going to be a nightmare to pack up and return. But I'm just shocked that casually googling around, I don't find other people mentioning what feels to me is just a terribly poor design for a recliner? Has anyone else experienced this?

Considering buying one & there's lots of choices, looking for advice from those who've owned one a while.

Last Sunday, my wife and I went to our local Costco to get some dog food and some chicken... of course one never only gets what they plan on getting while at Costco! Lovesac representatives were present and had a 6 seat / 8 side sactional couch present. We were in the market for a new couch and decided to have a go sitting on it. After lounging for a some time and discussing with the rep there, we decided to take the plunge and purchase a 4 seat / 5 side sacational. I will admit, the price was pretty steep. All in all we spend over 4k that trip (which was a tad higher than we were planning on since we originally went in for just dog food and chicken).

We were informed shipping would be either between 1-2 weeks or 2-4 weeks; well, imagine our surprise when we found out we would be receiving our couch on Friday, a mere five days after purchasing it! I started looking up instructions on how to set up the couch. The general consensus online seemed to be that the couch was a big pain the butt to set up, to basically set aside up to six hours to put together, and to be prepared to come home to a dozen boxes blocking your front door. Luckily, my wife and I are both teachers and have this week off for Thanksgiving, so I was ready to spend the day Friday setting up the couch.

10 am, a truck pulls up, and people were not kidding. There were a LOT of boxes. The delivery guys were glad to see us because they admitted they weren't sure what do to with all of the boxes and didn't want to completely block off our front door. Some videos I watched recommended making piles while unboxing: one of flattened boxes, one for plastic garbage, one for seat cushions, etc. This step I definitely recommend; it made setting up everything very easy! Next up after screwing on the feet pegs was the step I was dreading the most; getting the covers zipped up over all the pieces. I can safely say, at least in my experience, this was not as terrible as led to believe from commentators online. The hardest pieces were easily the sides; however, everything else was pretty straight forward and easy. This worked out great because another big reason we bought the couch was due to the fact we could easily wash covers as needed (with three dogs in the house this is a big concern). All said and done, after delivery it took about an hour and a half to fully assemble the couch with two grown adults.

So far (and yes, it's only been a couple of days) we are very happy with the couch. We've already utilized the customization aspect of the couch since buying it. We had some friends come over last night so we made it a bigger couch, then we changed it to have a long lounger on the end. Very easy to do. The only downside we experienced was a mix up in shipping. When delivered we were missing two boxes, one contained the footsac blankets, and the other covers for the side pillows. We've since received the covers; however, we are still waiting on the blankets. I am not faulting that to Lovesac though since it is holiday season. Time will tell if the couch holds up but from what I've read, these are pretty solid couches and my wife and I are very happy with our purchase.
