Arhaus Sofa Reviews (2026)

Across the four models, Kipton and Dune were the easiest to live on for hours at a time. Remington felt the most consistent when we shifted from upright (laptop) to relaxed (TV) without losing support. Coburn Motion was the clear winner for true decompression once reclined, but it asks more from your room: outlet access, wall clearance, and less flexibility if you like moving furniture around. Marcus consistently favored seats that resisted a ‘hunched hammock’ posture, while Mia kept coming back to depth as the deciding factor for long sessions.

We used each sofa the way people actually do—laptop work, binge-watching, gaming, naps, and hosting. For scoring, we tracked assembly and delivery setup, cooling/breathability, seat comfort, back support, durability feel over repeated use, layout practicality (including ease of moving and resetting), cleaning effort, and overall value. We also rotated different body types through the same scenarios to surface seat-depth fit and back-height differences.

Our Testing Experience:

Kipton quickly became the default seat in our space. During long laptop sessions, the cushion felt plush without letting my hips sink too far, and it was easy to shift into a relaxed TV posture without feeling like the seat collapsed. Marcus paid attention to the front edge—tying shoes, quick stand-ups, and short perching—and it stayed stable instead of folding away. Mia loved curling into the corner, but on the deeper setup she needed a couple pillows to keep her shoulders from drifting forward.

What we liked

• Plush feel without bottoming out—your hips stay supported

• Stable front edge for perch-and-pop-up moments

• Standard vs. deep options make the fit easier to dial in

Who it is best for

• People who switch between upright sitting and laid-back lounging

Our Testing Experience:

Remington felt like the most ‘organized’ option in the lineup—the one that didn’t fight us when we started upright and gradually melted into the cushions later. Carlos spent a full work-from-sofa afternoon on it and liked that the back stayed steady instead of collapsing into a rounded slouch. Jamal used it for stretching and then gaming; the seat stayed supportive enough that he didn’t feel stuck low when standing back up. The sweet spot is that halfway recline where you want softness without turning the whole sit into a hammock.

What we liked

• Support stays consistent as you shift positions

• A sink-in top layer that still holds its shape

• Depth options make it easier to match both body size and room

Who it is best for

• People who start upright (laptop) and end reclined (TV)

• Taller loungers who want depth without total sag

Where it falls short

• The low back won’t satisfy everyone who wants head/neck support

• If you never reset posture, the softness can encourage slouching

Pros & Cons:

Details:

• Price: From $3,500

• Size options shown: 84", 96", 108"

• Depth options shown: Standard 40", Deep 46"

• Frame: cross-directional hardwood laminate

• Support: recycled-steel Flexolator suspension under the seat

• Back: webbing-supported backrests

• Seat: coils + partly plant-based foam; down/feather in down-proof casings

• Build notes: down-proof casings with channel stitching to keep fill in place

• Customization: multiple pieces; fabrics and finishes

Our Testing Experience:

Dune was the one that made hosting feel low-stress. Jenna and Ethan ran a classic two-person test: one person constantly shifting while the other tried to stay comfortable. What stood out was how forgiving the surface felt—when someone dropped into the seat, it absorbed the impact instead of bouncing. We also paid attention to everyday mess potential: snack crumbs, quick wipe-downs, and the occasional splash of water. In practice, the performance-fabric angle felt real—less anxiety around spills and less pressure to keep it looking perfect. The trade-off is posture: during longer upright stretches, it’s easy to slide forward into a deeper lounge unless you reset.

What we liked

• Soft, welcoming ‘guest-ready’ sit

• More relaxed about spills and quick wipe-downs

• Great movie-night comfort without feeling precious

Who it is best for

• Families, pet households, and frequent hosts

• Anyone who prefers a relaxed, forgiving seat feel

Where it falls short

• Softer sit can encourage slide-forward lounging

• If you want firmer lumbar structure, a more controlled build may fit better

Pros & Cons:

Details:

• Price: From $3,300

• Size options shown: 88", 96"

• Upholstery: Crypton performance fabrics (stain-, odor-, and moisture-resistant)

• Frame: cross-directional hardwood laminate

• Support: no-sag Flexolator suspension (recycled steel)

• Seat: plant-based foam with poly fiber + down/feather

• Back: poly fiber + down/feather with elastic-webbing support

• Customization: multiple pieces; fabrics and finishes

Our Testing Experience:

Coburn Motion is where the test shifted from ‘sofa evaluation’ to ‘recliner reality.’ We ran it through the routine that usually exposes weak points: start upright, watch an episode, recline for the next, then get up and sit back down later. Reclined, it was the most consistently comfortable seat of the group—feet up, back down, and pressure points basically disappeared. Upright, the low profile was more polarizing; I wanted more height during laptop time. The power element also changes the room math: you need outlet access and a bit of clearance behind the back so the recline path doesn’t fight the wall.

What we liked

• Best decompression comfort when fully reclined

• Smooth, easy power recline and footrest action

• Performance-fabric positioning makes everyday use less stressful

Who it is best for

• Dedicated TV rooms and nightly recliners

• Larger rooms where outlets and clearance aren’t a headache

Where it falls short

• Not very flexible to rearrange; power and clearance dictate placement

• Low back is less satisfying for long upright work sessions

Pros & Cons:

Details:

• Price: From $6,000

• Configuration: Left Arm Recliner + Armless Recliner + Right Arm Recliner

• Frame: solid, reinforced hardwood

• Upholstery: Crypton performance fabrics (stain-, odor-, and moisture-resistant)

• Support: no-sag springs (recycled steel)

• Seat: dense foam with down/feather

• Back: poly fiber + down/feather with elastic-webbing support

• Motion controls: two-button power controls; allow 3"–4" clearance behind to recline

• Power: 8' cords; electricity required

• Dimensions (testing coverage): 121" long, 31" high; 44" depth in use; 63" depth when reclined

Review Score:

Arhaus typically ships sofas with White Glove service: the team brings the piece in, unpacks it, inspects it, assembles it, places it, and removes the packaging. Published White Glove rates are $299 for local delivery areas, $399–$599 for extended areas, and $1,699 for Alaska and Hawaii.

For returns, stock furniture generally has a 14-day window, and a 10% restocking fee may apply for returns that aren’t due to manufacturer defect or damage. Custom special-order merchandise is typically not eligible for cancellations, returns, or exchanges.

Arhaus also offers a limited warranty that covers upholstered furniture frames and spring support systems for life (residential use; non-transferable).

On the score grid, Kipton and Dune are the most well-rounded for everyday living—strong comfort without a single glaring weakness. Remington is the best choice if you want a bit more structure while still getting that lounge feel. Coburn Motion is the outlier: unbeatable in recline, but the least flexible to move and the most demanding on placement.

Start with how you actually sit. If you drift into a semi-recline for hours, prioritize depth options and cushion recovery. If you work on the sofa, pay attention to back height and whether you can stay upright without slowly sliding forward. Standard depth usually feels more controllable for petite users, while taller loungers tend to prefer deeper seats.

For busy households, upholstery matters as much as comfort—especially if you have kids, pets, or snack-heavy movie nights. If you want quick picks from this test:

• Kipton: best for deep-seat loungers and mixed daily routines.

• Dune: best for high-traffic family use, pets, and hosting.

• Remington: best for laptop-to-TV posture changers who still want structure.

• Coburn Motion: best for nightly reclining in a dedicated setup with outlets and clearance.

• Measure doorways, tight turns, and stair landings before delivery day. Treat it like logistics, not aesthetics.

• If you’re torn between standard and deep, decide whether you’re a ‘feet on the floor’ or ‘feet up’ sitter.

• If you notice slide-forward lounging, try a thin lumbar pillow early—it can change long-session comfort fast.

• Rotate sitting spots for the first few weeks so one ‘favorite seat’ doesn’t take all the early wear.

• For performance fabrics, keep a basic spot-clean kit nearby and deal with spills immediately.

• If you run warm, choose a more breathable weave and avoid piling heavy throws on the seat while you’re using it.

• In shared seating, test motion transfer: have one person stand/sit repeatedly while the other stays put.

• For motion sofas, plan outlet access and cord routing before you commit to final placement.

• Use an ottoman to ‘shorten’ an overly deep seat if shorter legs need better foot support.

For full recline, Coburn Motion was the easiest to sink into for multiple episodes. If you want a non-motion option, Kipton and Dune were the most comfortable for long stretches without constantly resetting your posture.

Sit all the way back, add a thin lumbar pillow, and choose a depth that lets your feet find support. Softer tops feel best when you’re slightly reclined—not perched on the front edge.

Placing the sofa too close to the wall—or without a plan for power. Leave clearance for the recline path and map cords/outlets before delivery so you’re not reworking the room afterward.
