AllModern’s sofa lineup leans modern-casual: clean silhouettes, upholstery-forward looks, and comfort that’s tuned for everyday TV nights and weekend lounging rather than formal sitting rooms. In our tests, the biggest differences came down to seat depth, back support feel over long sessions, and how forgiving the upholstery was for real-life messes. Some models feel “upright and supportive,” while others invite you to sink in and stay.

| Geo 84" Upholstered Sofa | $999 | 4.3 | Supportive feel, strong durability ratings, reversible cushions | Less lounge-depth for tall sprawlers | Mixed use: TV + conversation |
| Miller 84'' Upholstered Sofa | $1,299 | 4.2 | Easy posture changes, higher seat, clean silhouette | Not reversible; velvet can show pressure marks | Daily seating, small-to-mid rooms |
| Rae 85'' Upholstered Sofa | $1,599 | 4.1 | Deeper lounge posture, plush “sink-in” comfort | Runs warmer; velvet needs gentler care | Movie marathons and napping |

Testing Team Takeaways
Across four models, we kept coming back to one practical trade: deeper, plusher seating felt best for long, lazy nights, but required more upkeep and gave less crisp back support over time. The most “all-around” feel came from the model with a balanced depth and sturdier durability specs, while the deepest lounge option was the easiest to nap on. For couples, the best pick was the one that stayed stable when one person shifted positions mid-movie.

How We Tested It
We rotated each sofa through the same weekly rhythm: quick assembly checks, multiple TV-night posture shifts, laptop work sessions, and one “long-lounge” weekend block to see how support held up. We tracked Cooling/Breathability, Comfort (seat comfort, back support, seat-depth fit), Durability signals, Layout Practicality (ease of moving/repositioning), Cleaning effort, and Value—plus how each felt across different body sizes and couple-sharing behavior.
AllModern Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Geo 84" Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
On the Geo, I kept landing in a “sit up, then relax” cadence—upright for laptop work, then a small slide into movie mode. The seat didn’t swallow my hips, which mattered on nights when my lower back felt tight. Mia liked that the seat didn’t force her legs to dangle, and she could curl in without feeling trapped by a too-deep cushion. When Jenna and Ethan watched a full movie together, the sofa stayed composed when Ethan shifted around, which helped it feel calmer as a shared seat.
What we liked
-
Even support that stayed consistent over long sessions
-
Reversible cushion setup helped keep the seating surface feeling fresh
-
Stable feel when posture changed frequently
Who it is best for
-
Mixed-use living rooms (TV + laptop + guests)

Petite-to-average users who don’t want extra-deep seating
Where it falls short
-
Tall loungers who want a “sink in and sprawl” seat depth
-
Anyone chasing a softer, cloud-like sit
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced support for upright-to-relaxed posture changes | Not the deepest lounge seat |
| Strong durability indicators for daily use | Velvet/fabric options can still show pressure in some lighting |
| Reversible cushions for longer-term upkeep |

Miller 84'' Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
The Miller felt like the “get on, get off” sofa in the best way. The slightly higher seat made it easier for me to pop up without that extra push from the arms. During laptop work, I stayed more upright naturally, and my lower back felt less taxed because I wasn’t sinking. Jenna and Ethan liked it for weeknight TV because it didn’t turn into a wrestling match when one person shifted—movement didn’t ripple across the whole seat. Mia noticed the depth was workable for curling up, but she still preferred a corner throw pillow to build a smaller nest.
What we liked
-
Higher seat height that made standing up easier
-
Stable, predictable feel when changing positions
-
Simple shape that fits tightly planned layouts
Who it is best for
-
People who rotate between upright sitting and relaxed leaning
-
Couples who don’t want a bouncy, reactive seat
Where it falls short
-
Anyone who wants reversible seating surfaces for longer-term rotation
-
Shoppers who run hot in velvet upholstery
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Easy posture changes; higher seat feels ergonomic | Cushions not reversible |
| Clean, compact footprint for many rooms | Velvet can run warmer for some users |
| Solid stability for shared seating |

Rae 85'' Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
The Rae was the one I kept stretching out on when a show ran long. The deeper seat let me slide into a semi-reclined posture without immediately hunting for an ottoman. Jenna and Ethan treated it like a shared lounge spot—Ethan shifted constantly, and the seat stayed comfortable, but you could feel the softer fill compress where you’d been sitting. Mia loved the “curl up” comfort, but she was honest: the depth can feel like you’re perching unless you add a back pillow and bring your feet up.
What we liked
-
Deep lounge posture that invites longer sessions
-
Plush cushion feel that’s easy to relax into
-
Big, supportive arms for leaning and side lounging
Who it is best for
-
People who prioritize movie-night comfort and occasional naps
-
Households that like a softer, more enveloping seat feel
Where it falls short
-
Hot sleepers or anyone sensitive to warmer upholstery
-
Buyers who want a more structured, no-fluffing seat
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Deep seat depth supports lounging and napping | Velvet can show pressure and needs careful upkeep |
| Plush, down/feather-influenced feel | Less structured back feel over very long sessions |
| Strong weight capacity for a standard sofa |

Moab 81'' Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
The Moab read “casual modern” the minute we started using it like a real-life sofa: quick sits, snack breaks, and long stretches of TV. I noticed the lower seat height first—it encourages a relaxed posture, but my hips sat a little lower than on the Miller. Mia liked the softer landing and the textured upholstery; it felt less finicky against skin than velvet. Jenna and Ethan said it handled couple lounging well, though the seat felt more “sink then settle” than “stay perfectly flat,” especially when Ethan kept rotating positions.
What we liked
-
Textured upholstery that feels practical for everyday life
-
Comfortable support that lands between firm and plush
-
Relaxed seat height for lounging posture
Who it is best for
-
Casual TV rooms and daily living spaces
-
Shoppers who want texture and easier routine upkeep
Where it falls short
-
Anyone who prefers a higher seat for easier standing
-
People who want a very structured, crisp seat feel
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Basketweave texture feels practical and forgiving | Lower seat height won’t suit everyone |
| Balanced comfort from springs + feather-blend cues | Not a “formal upright” sitter |
| Everyday care reads simple |

The Geo scores most evenly because it couples steady comfort with the strongest durability indicators. The Rae clearly leads on lounge comfort and depth fit, but gives up ground on cooling and structured support. The Miller is the “daily posture” standout—especially if you sit upright often—while the Moab is the texture-forward middle path that feels easiest to live with day to day.
How to Choose the AllModern Sofa?
Start with seat depth and seat height: if you recline and nap, go deeper; if you sit upright or stand frequently, prioritize a higher, more supportive seat. Next, pick upholstery by lifestyle—velvet looks rich but can run warmer, while textured weaves often feel more forgiving. For couples, favor the model that stayed stable when one person shifted positions. If you want one safe pick, choose Geo; for deep lounging, choose Rae.
Limitations
Across these models, the trade-offs were consistent: deeper lounge comfort often came with warmer upholstery and a less structured back feel, while the more supportive sofas sacrificed that “sink-in” sensation. Petite users may struggle with the deepest seat depth unless they lounge with feet up, and taller users may feel confined on the shallowest seat. Velvet upholstery also tends to be less forgiving of pressure marks in daily use.

Pro Tips for AllModern Sofa
-
Measure doorways first, then measure again with tight turns and stair landings in mind.
-
If you’re between two seat depths, choose based on posture: upright sitters want less depth; loungers want more.
-
For velvet, keep a soft brush handy and lightly groom high-contact zones weekly.
-
Use a throw or removable cover on the “primary seat” to reduce visible wear patterns.
-
Rotate and re-fluff back pillows on plush models to keep support consistent.
-
Add a small lumbar pillow if you feel your hips sliding forward on softer cushions.
-
Keep a low-profile side table nearby so you don’t rely on arms as drink ledges.
-
If you have pets, trim nails and use a throw where they jump up to reduce snag risk.
-
Put felt pads under legs early to prevent micro-shifts and floor scuffs during the first week.
-
In the first month, note pressure points (hips, shoulders, knees) and adjust with an ottoman or footrest rather than forcing the sofa to “break in” your posture.
FAQs
Is a deeper seat always better for comfort?
Not always. Deep seats feel great for lounging, but if you sit upright for work or conversation, you may feel like you’re constantly scooting forward to find back support.
Which option felt best for lower-back sensitivity during long TV nights?
The most consistently supportive feel came from the model that resisted hip sink and kept a steadier back posture over time, especially during repeated posture changes.
What’s the most practical upholstery choice for everyday living?
Textured weaves tended to feel more forgiving in daily use. Velvet can look elevated, but it often needs more consistent upkeep to keep the surface looking even.
How do I pick if I’m petite or have shorter legs?
Prioritize seat depth and the way your feet land. If your feet don’t plant comfortably, plan to lounge with an ottoman or choose a shallower seat.
