Arhaus Sofa Reviews (2026)

Kipton was the easiest sofa to use for hours without thinking about it. Its seat stayed plush through work, conversation, and movie time, although the deep version needed extra pillows for shorter testers. Remington felt more controlled when we moved from an upright laptop position to a relaxed TV posture. Coburn Motion was the clear recline specialist, but its cords, 121-inch width, and extended footprint make placement part of the buying decision.

Fit separated these models more than softness. Testers who wanted both feet on the floor preferred the standard-depth Kipton or Remington. Taller testers had more room in the deep versions. Coburn worked best when we treated it as dedicated motion seating rather than a general-purpose work sofa.

We used each sofa for laptop work, TV, gaming, naps, and casual hosting. Our five-point scoring covered delivery and setup, seat comfort, back support, seat-depth fit, cooling, short-term durability, repositioning, cleaning, and value. We also compared how the same seat felt for testers of different heights, especially whether their feet rested naturally, where the back support ended, and whether the cushion encouraged sliding forward.

We checked published dimensions against the test configurations and repeated normal stress points such as edge sitting, standing up, changing seats, and moving from upright to relaxed posture. For Coburn, we also checked cord placement, rear clearance, and the fully reclined footprint. The scores reflect the tested configurations and covers; another upholstery choice can change heat and cleaning performance.

Our Testing Experience:

Kipton became the seat people chose first. The cushion had enough give for curling up but did not collapse when we sat near the front edge or stood repeatedly. Its 20-inch seat height also made standing easier than it was on Remington. During long laptop sessions, the standard 22-inch seat depth kept shorter testers close to the back. The 26-inch deep seat gave taller testers room to stretch out, but shorter legs needed a lumbar pillow to avoid sliding forward.

The sofa kept the same basic character as we changed positions: soft at first contact, then more supportive underneath. That made it the strongest mixed-use option in the group. The 40- and 44-inch overall depths also give buyers a meaningful fit choice, not just a small cosmetic difference. The main caution is maintenance. Its loose, plush look benefits from regular cushion shaping, and cleaning difficulty changes with the selected upholstery.

What we liked

• The cushion feels plush without bottoming out during long sessions.

• The front edge stays stable for short perches, shoe tying, and frequent stand-ups.

• Two seat depths and three widths make it easier to match the sofa to both body size and room size.

Who it is best for

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

• Busy living rooms where long-session comfort matters more than a formal, rigid sit.

Where it falls short

• The 26-inch deep seat can pull shorter users away from the backrest without an extra pillow.

• Loose cushions need shaping, and stain resistance depends on the chosen cover.

Our Testing Experience:

Remington offered the most controlled version of a soft sofa. We could begin upright with a laptop, shift sideways for gaming, and lean back for TV without feeling as if the cushion had changed shape around us. The 18-inch seat height is lower than Kipton’s, but the Flexolator suspension and coil-supported cushions gave us a stable base when standing up. That balance explains why Remington scored slightly below Kipton for pure comfort but remained the better work-to-TV option.

The seat measurements make the fit difference clear. Standard depth provides about 22 inches of usable seat, while the deep version reaches 27 inches. The 22-inch seat worked for the widest range of testers and made upright sitting easier. The 27-inch version gave taller loungers welcome legroom but pushed shorter users toward a reclined position. The back stayed steady at the waist and lower back, yet its low height did not provide the shoulder and neck support some testers wanted.

What we liked

• Support stays consistent as you move from upright sitting to a relaxed posture.

• The medium-soft surface gives without turning the seat loose or shapeless.

• Three widths and two depths cover both compact layouts and tall users.

Who it is best for

• People who work on the sofa during the day and relax on it later.

• Taller loungers who want extra depth with more structure than Kipton provides.

Where it falls short

• The low back stops short of full shoulder and neck support.

• The deep version still encourages slouching if your feet cannot reach the floor.

Pros & Cons:

Details:

• Regular price: from $4,700

• Widths: 84", 96", 108"

• Overall depth: standard 40" or deep 46"

• Seat fit: 18" high; 22" standard or 27" deep

• Frame: cross-directional hardwood laminate

• Support: recycled-steel Flexolator suspension

• Seat: steel coils, partly plant-based foam, and down/feather padding

• Back: flexible-webbing support

Our Testing Experience:

Coburn Motion changed the test because its best position is not upright. We began each session with the seats closed, watched one episode, reclined for the next, and then repeated the transition. With the footrest raised and the back lowered, it provided the best pressure relief in the group. In the upright position, the low 31-inch overall height left some testers wanting more upper-back support during laptop work.

The space requirements are substantial and easy to underestimate. Our configuration measured 121 inches wide, 44 inches deep, and 31 inches high. Fully reclined, the footprint reached about 63 inches, and Arhaus calls for another 3–4 inches behind the sofa so the mechanism can move freely. The 8-foot cords helped with outlet access, but cords and three connected pieces still narrowed our placement options. The 20-inch seat height and 24-inch seat depth felt comfortable for lounging, while shorter testers relied on the powered footrest for leg support.

What we liked

• Reclined comfort was the best of the group for long TV sessions.

• The powered back and footrest moved smoothly and made small position changes easy.

• Select performance-fabric options reduce the stress of everyday spills.

Who it is best for

• Dedicated TV rooms where reclining is a daily habit, not an occasional feature.

• Large rooms with convenient outlets and enough space for the extended footprint.

Where it falls short

• Its connected pieces, cords, and clearance needs make rearranging difficult.

• The low upright back is less comfortable for long work sessions.

Pros & Cons:

Details:

• Regular price: from $9,000; temporary promotions may lower the checkout price

• Configuration: left-arm recliner, armless recliner, and right-arm recliner

• Dimensions: 121" wide x 44" deep x 31" high; about 63" deep when fully reclined

• Seat fit: 20" high and 24" deep

• Frame: solid, reinforced hardwood

• Support: recycled-steel no-sag springs

• Seat: dense foam with down/feather padding

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

• Motion: two-button power controls; allow 3"–4" behind the sofa

• Power: 8-foot cords; electricity required

• Layout: connected motion pieces are not modular or designed to stand alone

Arhaus White Glove Delivery includes unpacking, inspection, assembly, room placement, and packaging removal for applicable furniture. Current rates are $349 for standard White Glove service and $499 for oversized delivery. Alaska and Hawaii cost $1,699, or $1,849 for oversized delivery. Measure every doorway, turn, stair landing, and elevator before ordering; delivery teams cannot make an oversized sofa fit.

Stock furniture has a 14-day return window. A 10% restocking fee applies when the return is not caused by a manufacturer defect or transit damage, and delivery fees are generally nonrefundable. Custom special-order merchandise cannot be canceled, returned, or exchanged, so confirm the fabric, depth, and access path before production begins.

The limited warranty is not blanket lifetime coverage. In residential use, qualifying frame and spring-support breakage is covered for life. Cushion cores and tailoring are covered for three years, as are motion mechanisms. Fabric and leather are excluded. The warranty is non-transferable and subject to care, use, and proof-of-purchase requirements.

Kipton is the most complete everyday choice, pairing top-tier comfort with no major weakness. Remington gives up a little softness in exchange for more control as posture changes. Coburn earns the same seat-comfort score as Kipton when reclined, but lower back-support, value, and repositioning scores keep it in specialist territory.

Choose by sitting posture before color or fabric. If you keep both feet on the floor or work on the sofa, start with a 22-inch seat depth: the standard Kipton and Remington both meet that mark. If you usually sit sideways or put your feet up, Kipton’s 26-inch deep seat or Remington’s 27-inch deep seat gives you more room. Remington feels more controlled; Kipton feels plusher.

Back height matters just as much. Kipton and Remington support relaxed sitting well but may need a lumbar or neck pillow for long work sessions. Coburn makes the most sense when you plan to use the powered recline every day. It needs a 121-inch wall, an approximately 63-inch open footprint when extended, rear clearance, and access to power.

For children, pets, or frequent snacks, order swatches and compare cleaning codes before committing. A performance fabric can reduce worry, but it does not make every spill harmless. Remember that custom upholstery usually makes the order nonreturnable.

• Kipton is the best all-around choice for deep-seat lounging and mixed daily routines.

• Remington is the best fit for people who move from laptop posture to TV posture and want the seat to stay composed.

• Coburn Motion is the best choice for nightly reclining in a large, dedicated setup.

These Arhaus models stand out for substantial frames, layered cushions, broad upholstery choices, and White Glove delivery. Kipton and Remington also offer useful width and depth options, while Coburn combines the brand’s low-profile look with powered motion. The trade-off is price: several strong competitors deliver a similar sitting style or more specialized support for less.

Crate & Barrel Lounge is the closest alternative to Kipton or Remington. It offers multiple widths and standard or deep configurations, with a relaxed track-arm shape and a lower starting price. Choose Lounge if you want broad size selection and deep, non-motion comfort without paying Arhaus prices. Kipton still feels more layered and supportive in our comparison, while Remington stays more composed for upright use.

RH Cloud is softer and more modular than these Arhaus sofas. Its down-and-feather cushioning around a foam core creates a looser, deeper lounge, and modular versions are easier to expand or rearrange than Coburn Motion. Choose Cloud if reconfiguration and a pronounced sink-in feel are the priorities. Choose Kipton or Remington if you want clearer edge support and an easier transition back to upright sitting.

La-Z-Boy Trouper Power Reclining Sofa is the practical alternative to Coburn. Its taller 41.5-inch back, power-tilt headrests, USB ports, and 85-inch width make it easier to fit and more supportive above the shoulders. It also sits in a lower price tier. Coburn wins on a cleaner, lower-profile look and wider shared seating; Trouper is the stronger choice when head support, compact width, and value matter more than minimalist styling.

• Measure doors, hallways, turns, stairs, and elevators before delivery, not just the final wall.

• If you are between standard and deep, decide whether you usually keep your feet down or up.

• Add a thin lumbar pillow as soon as you notice yourself sliding forward.

• Rotate seats during the first few weeks so one cushion does not take all the early wear.

• Order upholstery swatches and check the cleaning code under your own lighting.

• Blot spills promptly with the cleaner approved for the selected fabric.

• Test motion transfer by having one person stand repeatedly while another remains seated.

• For Coburn, mark the upright and reclined footprints on the floor and plan cord routing before delivery.

• Do not treat a temporary promotional price as permanent; compare the checkout price and return eligibility.

Coburn Motion was the most comfortable when we wanted a full powered recline. Kipton was the best non-motion option for hours of lounging, while Remington felt more supportive when we still wanted to sit partly upright.

Choose a depth that lets you sit against the backrest without losing foot support. A thin lumbar pillow can close a small gap. If you still slide forward, move from a deep configuration to a standard one rather than adding more loose pillows.

Buyers often measure only the upright depth. Coburn needs room behind the back, open floor space in front, and a safe path to an outlet. Map the fully reclined footprint and cord route before delivery so the sofa does not block a walkway or force an awkward layout.
