I have seen the ads for Sundays sofas all over my social media feeds for months. The brand promises that elusive "California cool" vibe combined with stain-resistant practicality. My team and I decided it was time to bring these pieces into our testing studio to see if the reality matches the sleek marketing photos. We wanted to know if a direct-to-consumer brand could actually deliver a luxury sitting experience without the traditional showroom markup.
Our process involved living with these sofas for several weeks. We did not just sit on them for five minutes. Marcus slept on them. Carlos tried to work from them. Jenna and Ethan had movie marathons. We spilled coffee on the fabrics to test their famous stain resistance. I paid close attention to how my lower back felt after an hour of reading.
Dr. Adrian Walker joined our evaluation process to provide context on ergonomics. He did not sit on the furniture himself but analyzed our posture and feedback. We aimed to see if these Sundays sofas support real human bodies or if they just look good in an Instagram post.
Product Overview
We focused on the four main collection pillars from the brand. Here is a quick snapshot of the Sundays sofas we reviewed.
| Sofa Model | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price (Approx) | Overall Score |
| The Movie Night | Incredible depth; cloud-like softness; washable covers. | Can feel too unstructured; requires fluffing; low back support. | Loungers; nap lovers; casual media rooms. | $$$ | 4.6/5.0 |
| The Get Together | Modular flexibility; slightly firmer support; clean lines. | Seat depth might be too deep for some; wide arms take up space. | Social hosts; open-plan living rooms. | $$$ | 4.7/5.0 |

What We Tested and How We Tested It
We established a specific protocol to evaluate these Sundays sofas. Comfort is subjective. We needed objective data points. We set up each sofa in our main testing area. We rotated our team members through specific activities. We timed how long we could sit upright before shifting. We measured how much the cushions compressed after two hours of continuous weight.
We evaluated the "flop factor." This involved Marcus and Jamal dropping their full weight onto the cushions to test frame resilience. We tested the fabric claims. Mia poured red wine and coffee on the swatches and the actual cushion covers. We timed how long it took to clean the stains. We washed the removable covers of the Movie Night model to check for shrinkage.
Jenna and Ethan tested the "cuddle capability." They sat together to see if they rolled into the middle. They checked for motion transfer. I focused on lumbar support during laptop work. Dr. Walker analyzed photos of our spinal alignment in various positions. We looked for pressure points on hips and shoulders. We listened for squeaks in the frames. We checked the stability of the joiner clips on the modular pieces.
Testing Team Takeaways
I found the Sundays sofas generally leaned towards a very relaxed aesthetic. The Movie Night specifically challenged my lower back. I loved the softness initially. My hips sank deep. However, after forty minutes, I felt my spine curling into a C-shape. I needed a throw pillow for support. The fabric felt incredible against my skin. It was soft but felt durable.
“I feel like I am being swallowed by a marshmallow, which is great for a Sunday nap but tough for watching a whole football game,” Marcus noted during his testing. He loved the space on the Movie Night. He could sprawl out completely. His main issue was getting up. The deep seat made it a workout to stand up quickly. The frame held his weight without creaking. He appreciated the solid feel underneath the plush top layer.
Carlos had a different experience. He tried to work on the Get Together. “The back cushions here are actually supportive enough for typing, unlike the Movie Night,” he said. He liked the wide armrests. He used them as a mousepad surface occasionally. He felt the Get Together bridged the gap between a lounge couch and a sitting couch. He did not feel the need to constantly adjust his position.
Mia struggled with the scale of the larger units. “My feet are dangling like a child’s on the Movie Night,” she laughed. She had to cross her legs to be comfortable. The depth was too much for her frame. She preferred the Easy Edge. The seat depth there allowed her knees to bend naturally. She loved the corner spots on the sectionals, though. She could curl up entirely within the cushion area.
Jenna and Ethan focused on the shared experience. “I don't feel Ethan moving around as much on these foam bases compared to sprung seats,” Jenna observed. They found the Movie Night excellent for movies. They could lie side-by-side. The Get Together felt a bit more formal to them. They liked that the cushions on the Movie Night didn't slide forward. The velcro/clip systems kept things in place.
Jamal enjoyed the legroom. “Finally, a couch where my knees aren't in my chest,” he remarked about the Movie Night. He could stretch his legs fully on the chaise. He noted the fabric did not trap heat. He remained cool even after sitting for an hour in shorts. He did mention the back frame felt a bit low when he sat fully upright. He had to slouch slightly to get head support.
Sundays Sofas: Our Testing Experience
1. The Movie Night Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
This is the sofa that seems to define the brand. I immediately noticed the casual look. The cushions looked invitingly messy. I sat down and kept going down. It is a deep sit. I felt zero pressure on my hips. It was instant relaxation. I watched a two-hour movie on it. My back started to complain slightly by the credits. I had to wedge a pillow behind me to stay upright.
Marcus practically lived on this sofa for three days. “This is the ultimate nap machine,” he told me. He used the armrest as a pillow. He said the foam density prevented him from hitting the hard frame. He did note that he had to fluff the back cushions every time he got up. They looked mashed after his session.
Mia tried to read a book in the corner. She looked tiny in the seat. “I have to climb out of this thing,” she said. She enjoyed the coziness but found it impractical for tea or chatting. She sat cross-legged the entire time. Dr. Walker reviewed the photos of me sitting.
Dr. Adrian Walker notes: "The pelvic rotation here is significant. The user is in a posterior pelvic tilt. This is fine for short durations or sleeping. It puts strain on the lumbar discs during prolonged upright sitting without auxiliary support."
We tested the stain resistance here. We spilled soy sauce on the white fabric. It beaded up. We wiped it with a damp cloth. It vanished. It was impressive.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
| incredible "sink-in" comfort | requires daily fluffing to look neat |

2. The Get Together Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
I found the Get Together to be the "grown-up" version of the Movie Night. The lines were cleaner. I sat down and stopped at a reasonable height. I did not sink in as far. The cushions felt supportive. I could sit and talk to Carlos without slouching. The back cushions were firmer. They held my spine in a better neutral position.
Carlos preferred this model. “I can actually use my laptop here,” he said. The seat was flat enough to balance a tray. He liked the wide arms. He sat on the armrest at one point. It held his weight. The frame felt substantial.
Jenna and Ethan tested the modularity. They rearranged the pieces. It was easy. The clips were intuitive. “It feels like giant Lego blocks,” Ethan joked. They liked that the pieces didn't slide apart on the rug. They found the fabric slightly more textured than the Movie Night. It felt more woven.
Mia still found the seat depth generous. She could sit with her feet on the floor if she used a back pillow. She liked that the cushions didn't look messy after she stood up. It required less maintenance.
Dr. Adrian Walker notes: "The hip angle here is closer to 90 degrees. This is biomechanically superior for social interaction. The foam density appears to support the trochanters without allowing excessive pelvic tilt."
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
| excellent balance of soft and support | wide arms consume living room width |
| holds shape better than Movie Night | cushions are still quite deep for some |

3. The Easy Edge Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
This model surprised me. It has a distinct piping detail. It looks very modern. I sat down and felt a definite firmness. It is not a "plop down" couch. It pushes back. The seat is shallower. My feet hit the floor easily. I felt very composed sitting here. It is a good sofa for a formal living room.
Mia loved this one the best. “My knees are actually at the edge of the seat,” she pointed out. She felt proper. She liked the slightly firmer foam. It made it easy for her to get up. She did not feel stuck.
Jamal found it too small. “I feel like I’m perched on a bench,” he said. The back was too low for him. He couldn't get comfortable for a movie. He felt the piping against the back of his legs when he wore shorts. It was a minor irritation.
We tested the fabric durability again. The linen-style fabric was nice. It felt cooler than the others. It breathed well. It resisted the water spill perfectly.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
| stylish, defined silhouette | piping can be felt on bare legs |
| shallower seat fits smaller people | not great for napping or lounging |
| firm support helps posture | feels smaller than dimensions suggest |
| fabric stays cool | less cushion flexibility |

-

-

Review Score:

| Back Support | 4.2 | Keeps you upright; good for short durations. |
| Durability | 4.5 | Tight fabric and firm foam last long. |
| Suitability | 4.2 | Best for apartments and formal spaces. |
| Overall | 4.3 | A style choice that sacrifices some comfort. |
4. The Cozy Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
The Cozy lives up to its name in terms of texture. The bouclé fabric we tested was nubby and warm. I sat down and felt hugged. It is compact. It feels smaller in the room. I liked the rounded edges. There are no sharp corners.
Jenna and Ethan tried to squeeze onto the 2-seater version. It was tight. “This is definitely a one-person-per-cushion situation,” Ethan noted. They could not curl up together. It is designed for smaller footprints.
Marcus avoided this one. He looked giant on it. He felt the frame on the side when he leaned hard. It is not built for heavy-duty sprawling.
However, for a reading nook, I found it delightful. I sat in the corner with a book. The rounded back supported my shoulder nicely. It felt like a nest.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
| fits in small elevators/rooms | limited capacity for guests |
| soft, tactile fabric | no head support for tall users |
| friendly, rounded aesthetic | difficult to stretch out on |
Details:
-
Price: Mid-range.
-
Target: Small spaces.
-
Fabric: Textured Bouclé or Linen.
-
Firmness: Medium (6/10).
Review Score:
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Seat Comfort | 4.2 | Cozy texture, but limited movement. |
| Back Support | 3.8 | Low back provides minimal support. |
| Durability | 4.0 | Bouclé may snag over time. |
| Suitability | 4.5 | Excellent for studios. |
| Overall | 4.2 | A niche product for specific spaces. |

| The Cozy | 4.2 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 4.2 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.0 |
The Get Together emerges as the most balanced option. It scores high in support and movement. The Movie Night dominates in pure comfort but loses points on back support and ease of getting up. The Easy Edge scores high for smaller users (Seat Depth Fit) but lower on pure comfort.

How to Choose the Sundays Sofas?
Choosing the right model depends on your lifestyle.
Consider your height.
If you are over 5'10" like Jamal or Marcus, the Movie Night is your best bet. The depth accommodates long legs. If you are petite like Mia, the Easy Edge or Get Together will save your back. You won't need extra pillows just to bend your knees.
Think about usage.
Do you nap daily? Pick the Movie Night. It handles sleeping beautifully. Do you host drinks and conversation? The Get Together keeps people upright and engaged. If you work from the couch, avoid the Movie Night. The lack of structure will hurt your back.
Check your space.
Measure your elevator and door frame. The Movie Night pieces are bulky. The Get Together is modular and easier to maneuver into tight spots.
Fabric needs.
All Sundays sofas use stain-resistant fabric. However, the textured bouclé on the Cozy traps pet hair more than the smooth weave of the Movie Night. If you have a shedding dog, stick to the smoother performance fabrics.
Limitations
These Sundays sofas have specific drawbacks. They are not for traditionalists. The look is intentionally casual. If you want a crisp, formal look that never wrinkles, these are not for you. The cushions on the Movie Night require constant fluffing. They look disheveled after use.
They are also low. Dr. Walker noted that low seating can be difficult for elderly relatives or those with hip issues. You sit in them, not on them.
Price is another factor. While cheaper than high-end designer brands, they are expensive compared to budget retailers. You are paying for the fabric technology and the modular design.
Is the Sundays sofas worth it?
I believe the Sundays sofas lineup is worth the investment for specific buyers.
The fabric technology is legitimate. The stain resistance worked during our tests. This adds immense value for parents and pet owners. The modularity of the Get Together offers future-proofing. You can add pieces if you move to a bigger house.
The Movie Night offers a level of comfort that is hard to find at this price point. It rivals much more expensive "cloud" style sofas.
However, the value drops if you need firm support. If you have serious back issues, the softness may be a hindrance. The lack of a high back option limits neck support. But for a modern, relaxed, family-friendly living room, these sofas deliver on their promises.
FAQs
1. Are Sundays sofas actually stain-resistant?
Yes. We tested them with red wine and soy sauce. The liquids beaded up on the surface. We wiped them clean without a trace. The "LiveLife" fabric is highly effective against common household spills.
2. Do the cushions lose their shape?
The Movie Night cushions compress significantly after use. You must fluff them to restore the look. The Get Together cushions hold their shape much better due to the foam core.
3. Can I wash the covers?
Yes. The Movie Night covers are fully removable and machine washable. We washed them on cold and air-dried them. They went back on the frame without shrinking.
4. Is the Movie Night too deep for short people?
For many, yes. Mia (5'4") found it too deep for normal sitting. She had to use extra pillows behind her back. It is designed for lounging, not upright sitting.
5. How hard is assembly?
It is very easy. The sofas arrive in boxes. You unbox them and clip the sections together. No tools were required for the modular connections during our setup.
6. Are they pet-friendly?
Generally, yes. The tight weave of the Get Together and Movie Night resists claw snags. Fur wipes off easily. The bouclé fabrics are riskier for cats who scratch.
7. How long does delivery take?
It varies by stock. In stock items ship quickly. We received ours within two weeks. Custom orders or out-of-stock items can take much longer. Check the website for current lead times.
8. Is the Movie Night good for sleeping?
Absolutely. Marcus rated it as good as a guest bed. The cushions are flat and wide enough to sleep comfortably without feeling the frame.
9. Do the modular pieces slide apart?
No. They use heavy-duty alligator clips underneath. Once connected, the sofa feels like one solid piece. We tried to push them apart and couldn't without unclipping.
10. What is the return policy?
They typically offer a 30-day return window. However, keep the original packaging. Returns can be cumbersome if you have thrown away the large boxes.
