Craftmaster Sofa Reviews (2026)

Craftmaster focuses on customizable upholstery and easy, liveable comfort—deep seats, pillow-forward backs, and arms that work for TV nights, laptop time, and casual hosting. I tested four current Craftmaster sofas for comfort, support, cooling, durability feel, cleaning practicality, layout fit, and value. The biggest differentiators were seat depth, back-cushion design, and how much built-in structure you want.

Product Overview

Sofa Overall Score Pros Cons Ideal For Price
792754BD Sofa 4.3 Low, modern lounge profile; adjustable pillow-back support Low seat height can feel too relaxed for some; more pillow upkeep when cleaning Loungers, modern rooms, taller users who like a deeper seat $1,590–$1,850
797050PC Sofa 4.2 Oversized, plush seating that’s easy to sprawl on Big footprint; deep seat needs lumbar support for upright sitting Families, movie nights, large living rooms $1,499.99
756550 Sofa 4.2 Balanced seat depth, steadier back feel, classic details Not as “sprawl-ready” as the deepest options Mixed-use living rooms: TV, work, and hosting $1,349.99
773850 Sofa 4.1 Classic profile that fits easily in many rooms Back support improves with smart pillow placement Traditional rooms, everyday lounging without a huge footprint $1,174.00

Testing Team Takeaways

Across these four sofas, seat geometry mattered most. The low-and-deep lounge options were great for stretching out, but they needed a lumbar pillow for long upright work sessions. Standard-depth seats stayed comfortable longer when you moved between sitting, leaning back, and quick stand-ups. If you want the most modern, low-profile lounge feel, the 792754BD stood out. If you want the biggest family “sprawl” setup, the 797050PC delivered—assuming you have the floor space. The 756550 felt the most consistently comfortable for everyday upright sitting and casual reclining. The 773850 sat in the classic middle: comfortable right away and easy to place, with support that improves when the pillows are staged well.

How We Tested It

Each sofa went through the same weeklong routine: delivery or placement checks (assembly), multi-hour sitting blocks for laptop work and TV (comfort and back support), and longer lounge sessions to track heat build-up (cooling). We also tested edge sitting, repeated stand-ups, and cushion recovery (durability feel), then checked how each footprint worked with real traffic flow (layout practicality). Finally, we did a quick cleaning pass for crumbs and pet hair, and weighed the experience against the price (value).

Craftmaster: Our Testing Experience

792754BD Sofa

Our Testing Experience

On the 792754BD, the first thing I noticed was the low seat height. Instead of perching on top, my hips settled into the cushion, which made movie-watching feel effortless. For laptop work, I was most comfortable once I tucked a small pillow behind my lower back.

In our edge-sit and quick stand-up checks, the front edge stayed stable without an “edge collapse” moment. The loose back cushions also made it easy to fine-tune the angle, but it’s not a set-and-forget sofa—after long movie nights, we had to re-fluff and re-place cushions to keep the back support consistent.

What we liked

  • Low, lounge-friendly seat that feels inviting immediately
  • Loose pillow backs let you adjust the recline angle
  • Clean, modern profile that still feels comfortable for daily use

Who it is best for

  • People who rotate between upright sitting and relaxed lounging
  • Taller users who want depth without a chaise
  • Modern living rooms that suit a low-profile look

Where it falls short

  • Strict upright sitters who want built-in lumbar structure
  • Anyone who doesn’t want to manage loose back pillows

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Deep, lounge-ready seat with adjustable pillow-back placement Low seat height can feel too relaxed for upright posture
Track arms and low block legs keep the profile visually light Loose pillows need fluffing and repositioning
Stable front edge for everyday sit-stand use More seams and pillows add cleaning time

797050PC Sofa

Our Testing Experience

The 797050PC was the sofa I reached for when I wanted full-body sprawl. I started upright with my laptop, but within 20 minutes I’d built a “nest” with the loose back and accent pillows. It’s great for relaxing, but it takes deliberate setup if you want consistent upright posture.

The seat is genuinely deep. Shorter testers tended to slide forward unless they used a back pillow, while taller users liked being able to sit legs-out without a chaise. It also handled movement well for gaming and long movie nights, but the size and pillow volume mean tidying and vacuuming take longer than on more structured sofas.

What we liked

  • Big, plush sprawl space that feels instantly movie-night ready
  • Pillows make it easy to tailor your lounging angle
  • Generous seating that works well for families and hosts

Who it is best for

  • Families and frequent hosts who use the sofa as the room’s main hangout
  • Taller users who want deep seating for legs-out lounging
  • Anyone who likes a plush, sink-in feel

Where it falls short

  • Small living rooms or tight walkways due to its depth
  • Upright sitters who want fixed lumbar support without extra pillows

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Generous scale and deep seat support full-body lounging Large footprint can overwhelm smaller rooms
Loose pillow backs make it easy to build custom support Upright posture requires deliberate pillow placement
Excellent for movie nights, guests, and shared seating Pillow volume adds cleaning and tidying time

756550 Sofa

Our Testing Experience

The 756550 felt like the most straightforward everyday option. The seat depth is more standard, so I could sit upright for laptop work without constantly scooting forward. The attached back also gave steadier support—when I stood up and sat back down later, I didn’t have to rebuild my posture with pillows.

In edge-sit and stand-up tests, the front edge stayed predictable. It’s still comfortable for curling up, but it doesn’t have the same sink-in sprawl vibe as the deepest models. If you prefer a sofa that feels the same every time and looks tidy with minimal fluffing, this was the easiest to live with.

What we liked

  • Balanced seat depth that works for upright sitting and casual reclining
  • Steadier back feel that stays consistent over long use
  • Classic details that don’t feel fussy in daily life

Who it is best for

  • Mixed-use households that work, watch, snack, and nap on the sofa
  • Petite-to-average users who dislike very deep seats
  • Anyone who wants comfort without constant pillow rearranging

Where it falls short

  • People who want a very deep chaise-like lounge seat without an ottoman
  • Those who prefer an ultra-low, modern lounge profile

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Standard seat depth supports upright posture and long laptop sessions Not as sprawl-ready as the deepest oversized sofas
Attached back keeps support consistent without constant fluffing Less adjustable back angle than loose pillow-back designs
Comfortable arm height and classic styling fit many rooms Trim and seams can take extra attention when cleaning

773850 Sofa

Our Testing Experience

The 773850 landed squarely in the classic comfort lane: sit down, lean back, and it immediately makes sense. The rolled sock arms were comfortable for side-leaning, and the semi-attached back pillows added more structure than fully loose pillow backs while still letting you fine-tune the feel.

Over TV nights and a few laptop blocks, it felt relaxed without pushing you into a full lounge posture. Edge sitting and quick stand-ups stayed stable. For longer upright calls, we still preferred a small lumbar pillow, but overall it was the easiest traditional-profile option to place in an average room without giving up comfort.

What we liked

  • Classic shape that feels comfortable immediately
  • Semi-attached back pillows reduce constant fluffing
  • Versatile fit for everyday lounging and hosting

Who it is best for

  • People who want a traditional profile with practical comfort
  • Medium-size rooms where you want comfort without oversized depth
  • Households that rotate between sitting upright and relaxing back

Where it falls short

  • Those who need built-in lumbar structure (you’ll still use pillows)
  • Anyone who wants an ultra-deep, low lounge seat

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Comfortable classic silhouette with rolled arms and steady seating Back support is good but still pillow-dependent for strict posture sitting
Relaxed seat depth that still works for upright tasks Not as lounge-deep as oversized options for full-body sprawl
Strong value at a lower price point Keeping pillows “just right” takes occasional adjustment

Details

  • SKU / Model: 773850
  • Price: $1,174.00
  • Size and configuration: 85" W x 37" D x 38" H
  • Seat depth / height: 22" seat depth; 20" seat height
  • Seat width / arm height: 68" seat width; 27" arm height
  • Back and arm style: rolled sock arms; semi-attached back pillows; turned legs; two pairs of pillows
  • Material: fabric

Overall, the numbers match what we felt in real use. The 792754BD and 797050PC lead on pure lounge comfort, while the 756550 is the most even across upright support, posture changes, and day-to-day practicality. The 773850 doesn’t win a single category, but it stays comfortably above average across the board—its strength is that it works in a wide range of rooms and routines.

How to Choose a Craftmaster Sofa

Start with seat depth and back style. If you sit upright for work or deal with lower-back tightness, a standard-to-moderate seat depth and a steadier back are usually easier to live with (the 756550 is the simplest fit). If your sofa is mainly for relaxing and movie nights, deeper seats with loose pillow backs can feel more luxurious (792754BD or 797050PC).

Body size matters, too. Petite users often feel swallowed by very deep seating, while taller users tend to appreciate extra depth for legs-out lounging. If you share the sofa and shift positions often, prioritize the model that feels quickest to reset after you move (792754BD or 756550).

Limitations and Trade-offs

Across these Craftmaster styles, comfort often comes from a pillow-forward build rather than fixed lumbar structure. Deep, plush sofas can encourage slouching unless you add a lumbar pillow, and the largest footprints can tighten traffic flow in smaller rooms. If you want firm, built-in lumbar support, the 792754BD and 797050PC may feel too relaxed. If you want maximum sprawl depth, the 756550 and 773850 read more upright unless paired with an ottoman.

Craftmaster vs. Similar Brands

  • Why choose these models

    • You want customizable styling that can work in both traditional and modern rooms
    • You prefer a relaxed, lounge-first feel over rigid posture seating
    • You want multiple seat-depth options, from standard to deep
  • Alternatives to consider

    • La-Z-Boy (stationary lines): for a more structured, posture-forward sit with less pillow management
    • Flexsteel (stationary sofas): for a firmer, more consistent “same every time” feel
    • Rowe: for a similar lounge-first approach with a fabric-driven aesthetic

Practical Tips for Living With Craftmaster Sofas

  • Match seat depth to how you actually sit: for upright work, choose standard depth or plan on a lumbar pillow.
  • In deep-seat sofas, keep one dedicated lumbar pillow per primary seat so support is easy to recreate.
  • If the seat height is low, test stand-ups—frequent up-and-down can feel harder on your knees.
  • Vacuum seams and under pillows weekly; pillow-back sofas collect crumbs and pet hair faster.
  • Rotate or swap cushion positions (when possible) to keep wear even across your most-used seats.
  • Use a throw blanket in high-contact zones to reduce visible wear and simplify quick cleaning.
  • Measure doorway clearance and turning angles before delivery; sofa depth is often the real bottleneck.
  • If you host overnight guests on the sofa, prioritize a flatter seat and manageable arm height.

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.
