Costco Sofa Reviews (2026)

Buying a Costco sofa usually comes down to choosing a format that fits your room: a big modular sectional, a chaise sectional with storage, a power reclining sofa, or a clean-lined leather sofa that’s easy to live with. We tested four popular picks across comfort, support, heat retention, cleaning, durability, and day-to-day layout practicality—then spelled out who each one is best for (and who should pass).

Product Overview

Sofa Overall Score Pros Cons Ideal For
Thomasville Tisdale Modular Sectional 4.2 Flexible layout, storage ottoman, lounge-friendly Large footprint, fabric can run warm Families, frequent hosting, flexible rooms
Thomasville Langdon Fabric Sectional 4.0 Chaise + storage, balanced support, neat silhouette Fixed orientation, less “sink-in” than a modular Movie nights, mixed sitting styles, organized spaces
Henredon Keira Zero-Gravity Reclining Sofa 4.1 Deep recline comfort, power headrests, built-in USB Heavy, less layout-flexible, can feel warm Recliner fans, sports/gaming setups, nightly lounging
Harstine Leather Sofa 4.0 Easy wipe-down, removable cushions, compact length Low back feel, less plush for napping Smaller living rooms, leather fans, tidy households

Testing Team Takeaways

If you want one piece that can keep up with changing plans, the Tisdale modular was the clear winner. It handled hosting, sprawl lounging, and constant seat-shuffling without feeling fussy.

Langdon felt more structured and visually tidy, with a chaise that still gives you a real stretch-out spot. Keira was the comfort pick for true recliner fans—especially when head and leg support mattered more than room flexibility. Harstine was the easiest day-to-day: quick wipe-downs, simple styling, and a footprint that doesn’t overwhelm smaller rooms.

How We Tested It

We rotated each sofa through real living-room routines: delivery/assembly and placement, long sit sessions for posture and lumbar support, heat build-up checks during extended TV or gaming, and a few real-life messes to judge cleaning in real life.

We also tested layout practicality by switching between laptop work, semi-reclined viewing, and full lounge sprawl—then noting how quickly each seat felt comfortable again after getting up. Scores reflect Assembly, Cooling, Comfort, Durability, Layout Practicality, Cleaning, and Value.

Costco Sofa: Our Testing Experience

Thomasville Tisdale Modular Sectional

Our Testing Experience

We set the Tisdale up as the ‘default room’ sectional—the one everyone naturally drifted to after work. Marcus (6'1", 230 lbs) claimed a corner for long gaming sessions and kept experimenting with the layout, sliding a piece out for a pseudo-chaise and pulling it back in for group nights.

Mia (5'4", 125 lbs) treated it like a reading nest and liked that she could curl up without fighting for a single ‘perfect’ seat. Jamal (6'3", 210 lbs) focused on full-body sprawl—feet up, legs straight—and the seat stayed supportive instead of sagging into a hammock.

What stood out most was how forgiving it is in real rooms: we could change the seating plan in minutes, and the storage ottoman quickly became home base for throws and controllers. The trade-offs are the footprint and a bit of warmth if you run hot during marathon sessions.

  • What we liked

    • Modular pieces make it easy to shift the layout as your room changes.

    • Relaxed seat feel without losing support.

    • Storage ottoman earns its keep for throws, remotes, and controllers.

  • Who it is best for

    • Families, frequent hosts, and anyone who rearranges often

    • People who rotate between upright sitting and full lounge sprawl

  • Where it falls short

    • Smaller living rooms that can’t handle a long sectional footprint

    • Anyone who runs warm during long sit sessions.

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Modular layout flexibility Large footprint can dominate a room
Storage ottoman adds daily utility Fabric can trap warmth over long sessions
Pocket-coil seat construction feels supportive More seams = more areas to vacuum/clean
Reversible orientation makes placement easier Not ideal if you want tall-back head support

Thomasville Langdon Fabric Sectional

Our Testing Experience

Langdon was our ‘tidy living room’ option: still comfortable, but with a more controlled shape. Carlos (5'11", 175 lbs) started with laptop work, checking whether the back support kept his mid-back from rounding. It did—especially when he shifted between upright focus and a relaxed lean-back.

Jenna (5'7", 160 lbs) and Ethan (6'0", 185–190 lbs) ran our usual couple routine: movie night, snack breaks, and constant repositioning. The chaise became the anchor seat, and the storage detail changed how we used the room—we stopped draping blankets over the arms and kept the setup looking cleaner.

The seat lands in the balanced middle: not marshmallow-soft, not rigid. The real limiter is the fixed left-facing orientation; if your room flows the other way, it’s an immediate mismatch.

  • What we liked

    • Chaise lounging without sacrificing a structured sit

    • Storage that reduces everyday clutter

    • Back support stays comfortable for laptop posture.

  • Who it is best for

    • Couples who split time between upright sitting and chaise lounging

    • Homes that want a sectional that looks “kept” day to day

  • Where it falls short

    • Layouts that need a right-facing chaise.

    • People who want an ultra-soft, sink-in seat

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Chaise encourages stretch-out lounging Left-facing orientation limits room compatibility
Storage feature improves daily organization Less “cloud-like” than deeper modular sectionals
Pocket coil + spring support feels balanced Large sectional still needs space planning
Works well for mixed posture (upright to reclined) Not meant for frequent reconfiguration

  • Type: L-shaped sectional with chaise

  • Pieces: 4

  • Upholstery: Fabric (polyester)

Assembly 4.0 Straightforward placement; orientation planning matters most.

Overall 4.0 Best “structured sectional” pick with real storage utility.

Henredon Keira Zero-Gravity Reclining Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Keira is the ‘sit down and exhale’ sofa—less about rearranging a room and more about dialing in comfort. Marcus tested the mechanism confidence by sitting, shifting, and going straight into full recline; the frame felt steady under his build.

Jamal cared most about head and leg alignment. As a taller sitter, he notices bad headrest angles fast, and the adjustable headrests made a real difference. Carlos ran the long-session test—the kind where you start upright and slowly relax—and the controls were smooth enough that changing positions didn’t feel disruptive.

We also ended up using the built-in USB ports constantly for phones and game controllers. The downside is weight and power dependency: this isn’t a sofa you casually slide around to refresh the layout.

  • What we liked

    • Recline comfort that supports both legs and head

    • Power headrest makes long viewing sessions easier on the neck

    • USB ports match real living-room habits

  • Who it is best for

    • People who genuinely want a recliner-first sofa

    • Taller users who need head support when leaning back

  • Where it falls short

    • Anyone who wants a lightweight sofa that’s easy to reposition

    • If leather tends to feel warm to you over long sits.

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Dual zero-gravity recliners feel truly relaxing Heavy and less flexible for rearranging
Power headrests improve neck comfort Leather can feel warm in long sessions
Built-in USB-A and USB-C ports Needs power access near the sofa
Strong weight capacity for a 3-seat sofa Not designed for frequent layout changes

Details

  • Type: Power reclining sofa (dual recliners)

  • Upholstery: Top-grain leather with polyurethane match

  • Pieces: 1

  • Color: Gray

  • Arm type: Track arms

  • Features: Power recliner, power headrest, USB ports

  • USB ports: 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C

  • Seating capacity: 3

  • Sofa dimensions (W x L x H): 87.5 in. x 36.5 in. x 39.2 in.

  • Sofa weight: 233.2 lb.

  • Sofa weight capacity: 825 lb.

  • Frame material: Wood (manufactured wood detail listed)

  • Delivery / setup: Delivery, setup, and packaging removal included

Review Score

Metric Score Remarks
Assembly 4.2 Setup is straightforward, but it’s heavy and power-dependent.
Cooling 3.4 Leather comfort is great, but it warms up with time.
Comfort 4.6 Recline + headrest support is excellent for long sessions.
Durability 4.2 Stable under load; mechanism care matters long-term.
Layout Practicality 3.8 Best once placed; not a “move it every weekend” sofa.
Cleaning 4.4 Wipe-down convenience is a real day-to-day win.
Value 4.1 Features justify the pick if you’ll use them daily.
Overall 4.1 Best for recliner comfort and tech-friendly lounging.

Harstine Leather Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Harstine played the role of the simple leather anchor—clean lines, easy upkeep, and a size that didn’t dominate the room. Mia tested it first (shorter legs can make some sofas feel like perches), and the 18.1-inch listed seat height helped her feel planted instead of dangling.

Jenna and Ethan ran their normal routine: shared movie night, lots of shifting, and the ‘get up and come back’ test. The cushions settled back in easily, and the removable pieces made the sofa feel less precious about everyday use.

For laptop work, the 23-inch listed seat depth felt supportive, but the lower back height left us wanting a small pillow for longer sessions. The biggest win was cleaning reality—crumbs, pet hair, and casual spills were simply less stressful than on fabric.

  • What we liked

    • Easy wipe-down leather and removable cushions

    • Seat height and depth feel balanced for everyday sitting.

    • Compact length fits smaller rooms without feeling cramped

  • Who it is best for

    • People who want leather convenience without a massive sofa footprint

    • Households that prioritize low-fuss cleaning

  • Where it falls short

    • Taller users who want high-back lounging support

    • People who prefer very plush, sink-in softness

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Top-grain leather on seating areas is easy to wipe Lower back height can feel less supportive for tall loungers
Removable cushions simplify routine cleaning Not a “deep sprawl” sofa for full-body napping
Seat depth and seat height feel balanced Leather can warm up during long sessions
Solid wood frame + sinuous spring suspension Firm-leaning feel if you prefer ultra-plush seating

Details

  • Type: Sofa

  • Upholstery: Top-grain leather (with matching split leather on sides and back)

  • Frame: Solid wood frame described

  • Suspension: Sinuous spring suspension

  • Seat cushioning: Dense foam seat cushion

  • Cushions: Removable back cushions

  • Seating capacity: 3

  • Overall dimensions (L x W x H): 81.9 in. x 35 in. x 32 in.

  • Seat depth: 23 in.

  • Seat height: 18.1 in.

  • Seat width: 72.8 in.

  • Leg height: 6 in.

  • Arm width: 4.5 in.

  • Arm height: 24.6 in.

  • Weight capacity: 330 lb. per seat

  • Delivery / setup: Delivery, setup, and packaging removal included

Review Score

Metric Score Remarks
Assembly 4.3 Straightforward placement; legs and clearance make cleaning easier.
Cooling 3.5 Leather comfort is great, but warmth builds with time.
Comfort 3.7 Supportive sit, but the lower back height limits long lounging.
Durability 4.1 Strong structure and suspension; cushion feel is consistent.
Layout Practicality 4.2 Compact length and clean shape work in more rooms.
Cleaning 4.5 Wipe-down leather and removable cushions reduce daily hassle.
Value 4.0 A practical leather sofa if you want simple and durable.
Overall 4.0 Best for smaller rooms and low-maintenance leather living.

Thomasville Tisdale Modular Sectional 4.2 4.5 4.5 4.5 3.6 4.0 4.8
Thomasville Langdon Fabric Sectional 4.0 4.2 4.2 4.2 3.7 4.0 4.1

Harstine Leather Sofa 4.0 3.7 3.7 3.7 3.5 4.1 4.2

Tisdale is the most ‘room-useful’ overall—its layout score translates to real daily flexibility. Keira wins on pure recline comfort, but it’s a commitment once it’s in place. Langdon is the steady middle ground: supportive, comfortable, and genuinely useful if the left-facing layout works for your room. Harstine is the simplest daily driver—easy to clean and easy to fit, with comfort that leans supportive rather than plush.

How to Choose the Costco Sofa?

Start with posture and room flow. If you sprawl and host, modular flexibility matters most. If you sit upright often, focus on back support. If you recline nightly, prioritize head and leg alignment. And if you hate upkeep, look for wipeable upholstery and removable cushions.

For petite users who dislike overly deep seats, Harstine’s listed seat height and depth help keep feet and hips feeling set instead of floating. Taller loungers and dedicated recliner fans will likely appreciate Keira’s headrest support. For families and frequent guests, Tisdale is the easiest to adapt. If you want a dedicated chaise zone plus storage (and your room fits the orientation), Langdon is the cleanest match.

Limitations

The main trade-off with this lineup is that each model commits hard to a specific use case. Tisdale and Langdon both need real floor space, and fabric sectionals can feel warmer during long sessions. Keira prioritizes power comfort over flexibility—once it’s placed, most rooms end up planning around it. Harstine is the easiest to maintain, but the lower back height makes it less ideal for taller people who want head-and-shoulder support while lounging.

Costco Sofa Vs. Alternatives

  • Why these Costco picks work

    • Delivery, setup, and packaging removal are included for these selections.

    • Storage features can reduce daily clutter

    • The options cover modular, chaise + storage, recliner comfort, and low-maintenance leather.

  • Alternatives worth a look

    • West Elm Harmony Modular: deeper modular feel with more customization.

    • Crate & Barrel Lounge Deep: extra-deep seating built for lounging.

    • La-Z-Boy Apollo Power Reclining: power recline with headrest support and built-in charging.

Pro Tips for Costco Sofa

  • Measure doorways, stair turns, and elevator depth—not just the wall you want to place the sofa on.

  • For sectionals, mark the footprint with painter’s tape for a few days to confirm traffic flow.

  • If you run warm, use breathable throws and rotate seats so one cushion doesn’t trap all the heat.

  • Keep a soft-brush vacuum attachment nearby; quick weekly passes prevent debris from getting ground into seams.

  • For leather, wipe dust first, then use a slightly damp cloth—avoid soaking or aggressive scrubbing.

  • If you do long laptop sessions, add a small lumbar pillow to keep hips and lower back from collapsing forward.

  • Use a tray or small side table near chaise/recliner seats to reduce armrest wear from drinks and devices.

  • Rotate and fluff loose cushions so one favorite seat doesn’t age faster than the rest.

  • Use felt pads under legs to protect floors and make small adjustments easier.

  • Pick a default setup (movie night vs. hosting) and keep just one quick-change backup layout.

Our Testing Team

Chris Miller

Lead Tester

Chris oversees the full testing pipeline for mattresses, sofas, and other home products. He coordinates the team, designs scoring frameworks, and lives with every product long enough to feel real strengths and weaknesses. His combination-sleeping and mixed lounging habits keep him focused on long-term comfort and support.

Marcus Reed

Heavyweight Sofa & Mattress Tester

Marcus brings a heavier build and heat-sensitive profile into every test. He pushes deep cushions, edges, and frames harder than most users. His feedback highlights whether a design holds up under load, runs hot, or collapses into a hammock-like slump during long gaming or streaming sessions.

Carlos Alvarez

Posture & Work-From-Home Specialist

Carlos spends long hours working from sofas and beds with a laptop. He tracks how mid-back, neck, and lumbar regions respond to different setups. His notes reveal whether a product keeps posture neutral during extended sitting or lying, and whether small adjustments still feel stable and controlled.

Mia Chen

Petite Side-Sleeper & Lounger

Mia tests how mattresses and sofas treat a smaller frame during side sleeping and curled-up lounging. She feels pressure and seat-depth problems very quickly. Her feedback exposes designs that swallow shorter users, leave feet dangling, or create sharp pressure points at shoulders, hips, and knees.

Jenna Brooks

Couple Comfort & Motion Tester

Jenna evaluates how well sofas and mattresses handle real shared use with a partner. She tracks motion transfer, usable width, and edge comfort when two adults spread out. Her comments highlight whether a product supports relaxed couple lounging, easy repositioning, and quiet nights without constant disturbance.

Jamal Davis

Tall, Active-Body Tester

Jamal brings a tall, athletic frame and post-workout soreness into the lab. He checks seat depth, leg support, and surface responsiveness on every product. His notes show whether cushions bounce back, frames feel solid under long legs, and sleep surfaces support joints during recovery stretches and naps.

Ethan Cole

Restless Lounger & Partner Tester

Ethan acts as the moving partner in many couple-focused tests. He shifts positions frequently and pays attention to how easily a surface lets him turn, slide, or return after short breaks. His feedback exposes cushions that feel too squishy, too sticky, or poorly shaped for real-world lounging patterns.
