AllModern’s sofas share a clean, modern look, but they do not feel interchangeable once you sit down. We tested three current models through work sessions, movie nights, stain cleanup, repeated sits, and shared seating. Miller is the easiest to sit upright on, Rae offers the deepest lounge, and Moab combines a low profile with a less fussy textured weave. The right choice comes down to posture, seat height, and how much fabric maintenance you are willing to do.

Testing Team Takeaways
Miller earned our top overall score because its 19.3-inch seat height, controlled cushion compression, and steady back support worked across the widest mix of tasks. Rae was clearly better for reclining and napping, but its 32.3-inch seat depth made upright sitting harder for shorter testers. Moab sat between them in softness, though its 17.7-inch seat height made standing up noticeably harder. Fabric choice also mattered: the velvet configurations on Miller and Rae warmed faster and showed pressure marks sooner than Moab’s tested textured weave.

How We Tested It
We used the same routine for every sofa. After assembly, testers of different heights completed 15-, 60-, and 120-minute sessions that included upright laptop work, conversation, reclining, and side lounging. We measured unloaded and occupied seat height, cushion recovery after a timed load, surface-temperature change over one hour, edge compression, and movement during shared seating. We also completed repeated sit-and-stand cycles, spot-cleaned a small water-based spill on a hidden area, and checked for early fabric marking, seam movement, looseness, and noise. Each category was scored on a five-point scale, and the overall score reflects comfort, support, cooling, durability, cleaning, setup, and value.
AllModern Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Miller 84-inch Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
Miller was the easiest sofa to use for work, conversation, and frequent sit-to-stand movement. Its unloaded seat measured 19.3 inches high and settled to 17.8 inches under our 180-pound test load, a smaller drop than the other two models. That kept the hips from falling below the knees and helped our shorter tester plant both feet without sliding forward. After 120 minutes, the group’s average seat-comfort score was 4.1/5 and back support held at 4.3/5.
The tested velvet warmed by 5.6°F over a one-hour session and showed temporary nap marks where a hand or knee pressed against it. Cushion height recovered to 94% of its starting point one minute after the load was removed. During 50 shared-seat position changes, the frame stayed quiet and the sofa moved less than half an inch on a rug. It feels supportive rather than plush, which is exactly why it works so well as a daily sofa.
What we liked
-
The 19.3-inch seat made standing up easier without feeling unusually high.
-
Back support remained consistent through a two-hour mixed-use session.
-
The 84-inch width seats three without taking over a medium-size room.
Who it is best for
-
People who sit upright for work, reading, or conversation and still want enough depth to relax.
-
Couples who notice movement when the other person shifts or gets up.
Where it falls short
-
The cushions are not reversible, so rotation options are limited.
-
The tested velvet retained more heat and showed more pressure marking than Moab’s weave.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Higher seat supports easier standing | Non-reversible cushions |
| Stable during shared seating | Velvet configuration held noticeable heat |
| Strong back support for upright use | Too structured for a sink-in feel |

Rae 84-inch Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
Rae is built for reclining, not perching at the edge. We measured the seat at the listed 32.3-inch depth, nearly ten inches deeper than Miller or Moab. Our 5-foot-4-inch tester needed a lumbar pillow to sit upright, while taller testers could stretch out without adding an ottoman. Under the same 180-pound load, the 18-inch seat settled to 15.7 inches. That deeper compression felt inviting at first and earned a 4.5/5 comfort score, but it demanded more posture adjustment during laptop work.
After one hour, the tested velvet was 6.8°F warmer than its starting temperature, the largest rise in the group. The cushion recovered 87% of its height after one minute and 97% after five minutes, so visible impressions faded but not immediately. During shared seating, the softer fill transmitted more movement than Miller. Rae still became the sofa testers chose for a full movie or a nap because the deep seat and broad arms made side lounging easy.
What we liked
-
The 32.3-inch seat depth leaves real room for reclining, curling up, or napping.
-
Reversible cushions help spread wear across the soft feather-blend fill.
-
Wide arms provide useful support when lying on your side.
Who it is best for
-
Taller users and dedicated TV rooms where lounging matters more than upright posture.
-
Buyers who prefer slower, deeper cushion compression over firm support.
Where it falls short
-
Shorter users will likely need a lumbar pillow or ottoman for upright sitting.
-
The tested velvet ran warm and the cushions needed regular fluffing.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Deepest seat and softest lounge feel | Too deep for many shorter upright sitters |
| Reversible feather-blend cushions | Slowest one-minute cushion recovery |
| 900-lb. capacity | Tested velvet trapped the most heat |

Moab 81-inch Upholstered Sofa
Our Testing Experience:
Moab felt relaxed without the extreme depth of Rae. Its 22-inch seat let average-height testers lean back while keeping their feet on the floor, but the 17.7-inch unloaded seat height dropped to 15.8 inches under our 180-pound load. That lower position was comfortable for watching TV and less convenient for frequent standing. The 81-inch width also made it the easiest of the three to place in a smaller living room.
The tested textured weave gained 4.1°F during our one-hour heat check, noticeably less than the two velvet configurations. After the timed load, the cushion returned to 92% of its starting height in one minute and 98% in five minutes. A small water-based spill lifted in three blotting passes on the hidden test area without leaving a visible ring after drying. The sofa shifted 0.7 inch during 50 sit-and-stand cycles on hard flooring but stayed nearly fixed on a rug. Its comfort is balanced rather than dramatic: softer than Miller, more controlled than Rae.
What we liked
-
The tested weave ran cooler and hid pressure marks better than velvet.
-
The 22-inch seat depth worked for both upright and relaxed sitting.
-
At 81 inches wide, it was the easiest model to fit into a smaller room.
Who it is best for
-
Casual living rooms that need one sofa for conversation, TV, and occasional naps.
-
Buyers who prefer a visible fabric texture and simpler day-to-day grooming than velvet.
Where it falls short
-
The low occupied seat height makes standing up harder for some users.
-
The cushions are not reversible, and the 30-day product warranty is short.
Pros & Cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Coolest tested upholstery | Low seat makes standing harder |
| Useful 22-inch seat depth | Non-reversible cushions |
| Compact 81-inch width and 900-lb. capacity | Short 30-day product warranty |

Miller wins on versatility, not softness. It is the easiest model to use for upright sitting and the quickest to stand up from. Rae is the clear choice for deep lounging, but shorter users and warm sleepers should understand its tradeoffs. Moab is the most forgiving fabric-and-size combination, especially for a smaller casual room, though its low seat will not work for everyone.
How to Choose the AllModern Sofa?
Start with your normal posture. Choose Miller if you often work, read, talk, or eat while sitting upright. Its 19.3-inch seat height also helps if standing from a low sofa is difficult. Choose Rae if you usually recline, curl up, or nap; its 32.3-inch seat depth is the defining feature, and shorter users should plan on a lumbar pillow. Choose Moab if you want an 81-inch sofa with a relaxed feel and a textured upholstery option that takes less grooming than velvet. Then compare the exact fabric swatch, doorway clearance, warranty, delivery service, and return cost for the configuration in your cart.
Limitations
Our results apply to the configurations we tested. Miller and Rae were tested in velvet, while Moab used a textured weave; another upholstery can change temperature, cleaning, and surface-marking results. The durability scores reflect construction review, repeated sits, short-term cushion recovery, and early wear rather than years of household use. Prices and stock also change by fabric. Finally, all three sofas require a compromise: Miller gives up plushness, Rae gives up upright support and cooling, and Moab gives up seat height and cushion reversibility.
AllModern Sofa Vs. Alternatives
Burrow Range is the closest alternative if you want to rearrange or expand the seating later. Its modular pieces and performance upholstery are easier to adapt than any of these single-frame AllModern sofas. The checked four-piece open sectional was also competitively priced during a promotion, but its 60.5-inch lounger depth requires more floor space and its low 16-inch seat feels closer to Moab than Miller.
Lovesac Sactionals offer far more configuration and cover choices, including machine-washable options, but the 4 Seats + 5 Sides setup costs several times more at regular pricing. Choose it for long-term modular flexibility and replaceable covers, not because it is a same-price substitute for Miller, Rae, or Moab.
Castlery’s Jonathan Chaise Sectional is a larger, lower, chaise-first alternative with pocket-spring seats and a 118.9-inch maximum width. It gives dedicated loungers more continuous stretch-out space than Rae, but its fixed covers are less flexible and the checked US clearance configuration was out of stock. Confirm that another Jonathan configuration is available and returnable before treating it as a live option.
Pro Tips for AllModern Sofa
-
Measure the sofa’s full route into the room, including doors, hall turns, stairs, and elevator openings.
-
Use seat depth to match posture: around 22 inches suits mixed use, while Rae’s 32.3 inches is meant for reclining.
-
Compare seat height with a chair you already use. A difference of even 1.5 inches is obvious when standing up.
-
Order a swatch when possible. Velvet nap, linen texture, and basketweave color can look different under home lighting.
-
Brush tested velvet lightly in one direction and vacuum it with a soft upholstery attachment.
-
Rotate Rae’s reversible cushions and fluff its feather-blend fill weekly during the first month.
-
Use a rug pad or furniture grippers under Moab on smooth flooring.
-
Keep the product packaging until you have checked the frame, fabric, hardware, and comfort.
-
Read the return conditions before assembly; a 30-day window does not necessarily mean free return shipping.
FAQs
Is a deeper seat always better for comfort?
No. A deep seat is excellent for reclining and napping, but it can leave shorter legs unsupported during upright sitting. Rae’s 32.3-inch depth was the most comfortable for lounging and the least practical for laptop work.
Which option felt best for lower-back sensitivity during long TV nights?
Miller gave us the steadiest lumbar and hip support through a two-hour session. Rae can work with a lumbar pillow when you want a deeper recline, but its soft fill does less to hold an upright spine.
What’s the most practical upholstery choice for everyday living?
Moab’s tested textured weave was the easiest of our three configurations to keep looking even. It ran cooler and hid pressure marks better than the tested velvet on Miller and Rae. Always check the care code for the exact fabric you order.
How do I pick if I’m petite or have shorter legs?
Start with seat depth, not overall sofa width. Miller’s 22.4-inch depth gave our shorter tester the best foot contact and back support. Moab is similarly shallow but sits lower. Rae will usually require a pillow behind the back and may still work better with an ottoman.
