Eternity Modern leans into design-forward seating: modular "build-your-layout" pieces plus sculptural statement sofas, generally priced in the mid-to-upper range. We focused on long-session comfort, back support, heat buildup, cleaning effort, and how each sofa holds up when real life gets messy. Two models stand out for lounge-first households, while one is noticeably stronger if you need reliable upright support.

Testing Team Takeaways
In everyday use, the modular sofas were the easiest to live with because we could tune the footprint to the room. Mario Bellini was the most sink-in-and-stay option, while Tufted did the best job of turning a living room into a social hub. Soriana delivered the biggest visual impact and a steadier, medium-firm sit, but the folds asked more of our cleaning routine. Corbusier Grand Modele stood out for upright posture during laptop sessions and for the simplest wipe-down maintenance.

How We Tested It
We put each sofa through the same living-room routine (based on how we test sofas): quick sits, long binge sessions, laptop work blocks, gaming, and at least one nap attempt.
We tracked setup friction (assembly and positioning), cooling over multi-hour use, comfort and support (seat feel, back support, seat depth fit), durability cues under repeated posture changes, layout practicality in real rooms, cleaning hassle after crumbs and pet hair, and overall value for the price tier. We also rotated two to three testers per model to pressure-test fit across body types and habits.
Eternity Modern Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Mario Bellini Sofa
Our Testing Experience
We started with a movie-night test: feet up, hips deep, then a slow slide into a half-lying sprawl. The Bellini quickly became the default lounge zone—once you settle in, it doesn’t keep asking you to readjust.
Marcus pushed it through long gaming sessions, paying attention to whether the seat let him stay open-hipped without tipping forward. Mia tried curling up and sitting cross-legged; she liked the softness, but the deep seat made shorter legs work harder for full support. The modular build mattered day to day: we kept tweaking spacing until traffic flow felt right, and that flexibility is the core value here.
What we liked:
-
Deep, relaxed sit that stays comfortable for hours
-
Modular layout helps the room feel intentional, not crowded
-
Cushions felt consistent across posture changes
Who it is best for:
-
Loungers who bounce between reclined and fully stretched-out positions
-
Larger rooms that can handle a bigger footprint
-
Households that like to reconfigure seating for hosting
Where it falls short:
-
Shorter users may find the seat depth harder to manage
-
The low-slung back can feel lacking for upright laptop work
-
Repositioning modules takes real effort
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent lounge comfort | Deep seat can overwhelm petites |
| Modular flexibility | Heavy modules to reposition |
| Consistent cushion feel | Low back for upright work |

Tufted Sofa
Our Testing Experience
Tufted feels like a build-your-own conversation pit, so we tested it that way: movie nights, snack breaks, and constant resettling. Jenna and Ethan focused on whether they could shift around without fighting the cushions.
The big takeaway was how naturally it encourages relaxed, angled lounging—it doesn’t punish restless sitters. Marcus tested the edge zones and the gaps between modules by perching on the front edge to see if support held or started to feel mushy. The back is low enough that most of us wanted a throw pillow for laptop time, but once we leaned into that setup, it became the sofa guests gravitated toward.
What we liked:
-
Big, social hangout energy with modular freedom
-
Cushions stayed comfortable through constant shifting
-
Easy to create a layout that fits awkward rooms
Who it is best for:
-
Families and frequent hosts who want a gathering zone
-
People who lounge more than they sit upright
-
Rooms where you want to build a custom footprint
Where it falls short:
-
Low back height can frustrate upright posture work
-
Cleaning takes discipline if you snack on it daily
-
Repositioning modules is doable, but not fast
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent layout flexibility for groups | Low back for upright work |
| Plush, lounge-first comfort | More cleaning effort over time |
| Strong modular planning | Modules can be heavy to shift |

Soriana Sofa
Our Testing Experience
Soriana was the one we kept circling back to. The folds and chrome frame read like a design object, but it still feels like a sofa you can actually spend time on.
In a two-hour show test, the seat felt steadier than the lounge-heavy modular picks, which helped my lower back settle in. Carlos used it for a longer laptop block; he liked the stability, though he still reached for a pillow when he wanted more of a cradled feel. Jamal tried stretch-out positions—comfortable, but not as naturally sprawl-friendly as the modular conversation-pit styles.
The trade-off is maintenance: the pleats and folds look great, but they also hold onto crumbs and pet hair if you’re not on top of it.
What we liked:
-
A more supportive sit that doesn’t go mushy over time
-
Strong visual presence without extra styling
-
Comfortable for mixed-use: chatting, short work blocks, casual TV
Who it is best for:
-
Style-driven living rooms that still need real comfort
-
People who prefer a steadier, medium-firm feel
-
Hosts who want a “centerpiece” sofa
Where it falls short:
-
Folds can trap crumbs and slow down quick cleaning
-
Deep seat can still challenge shorter legs
-
Not as flexible as a modular system
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Statement look with real comfort | Folds add cleaning friction |
| Medium-firm, steady sit | Less layout flexibility |
| Feels stable under movement | Deep seat may not suit petites |

Corbusier Grand Modele Sofa
Our Testing Experience
Corbusier Grand Modele was the sit-like-a-person option. We started with a long laptop session, because that’s the fastest way to spot weak back support.
The cushions felt structured enough that I didn’t slide into a rounded posture, and the wide arms made it easy to brace when shifting positions. Carlos liked the neck and mid-back alignment, but agreed it isn’t the sofa he’d pick to curl up sideways for hours. Jamal tried to sprawl and quickly ended up in an upright lounge with feet up—this one rewards cleaner posture more than chaotic lounging.
The day-to-day win was maintenance: wipe-downs were simple, and the removable cushions made quick resets realistic.
What we liked:
-
Most posture-friendly feel for upright sitting and work blocks
-
Cushions lift out easily for cleaning and quick resets
-
Frame felt steady and composed under movement
Who it is best for:
-
People who work on the sofa and need reliable back support
-
Cleaner households that prefer wipeable upkeep
-
Offices, studios, and living rooms with a sharper aesthetic
Where it falls short:
-
Not the coziest option for curling up or napping
-
Shallower seat depth won’t satisfy deep-lounge lovers
-
The structured feel isn’t for everyone
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong upright support | Less “curl-up” cozy |
| Easier cleaning routine | Not a deep lounge seat |
| Removable cushions | Structured feel may read firm |

Mario Bellini and Corbusier Grand Modele were the most consistently strong overall: one wins on deep lounging and layout flexibility, the other on posture support and easy upkeep. Tufted shines when you want a big, social layout you can build around the room, while Soriana’s appeal is its statement look paired with a steadier sit—at the cost of more cleaning effort.
How to Choose the Eternity Modern Sofa?
Start with how you actually sit. If you work on the sofa or want dependable upright support, Corbusier Grand Modele is the safest bet. If your default is movie-night sprawl, Mario Bellini feels the most naturally lounge-forward. For big households and hosting, Tufted is the easiest to shape into a real gathering zone. If you want a design centerpiece but still care about a supportive sit, Soriana balances comfort with visual impact. In general, petite users do better with Corbusier’s shallower seat, while taller loungers tend to prefer Mario Bellini or Tufted.
Limitations
These sofas fall into two camps: deep-lounge modular living or more structured, style-forward seating. Mario Bellini and Tufted can feel too low-slung for anyone who needs upright back support all evening. Soriana asks more of your cleaning routine because folds and seams can hold debris. Corbusier Grand Modele is less nap-friendly and won’t satisfy anyone chasing an ultra-plush sink-in feel. If you want one sofa to do everything, you’ll be managing trade-offs.

FAQs
Is a deep-seat sofa always better for lounging?
Not always. Deep seats can feel great for taller loungers, but shorter users may lose foot support and feel like they’re perching. A shallower seat is often better for upright sitting and laptop time.
Which model is easiest to keep looking clean day to day?
Corbusier Grand Modele was the least stressful for everyday cleanup. Wipe-downs felt straightforward, and being able to lift the cushions made quick resets easier. By comparison, more sculptural folds and tufting demand a more consistent routine.
Which sofa is most couple-friendly for long movie nights?
Tufted felt the most couple-friendly for long movie nights because it encourages relaxed postures and frequent shifting without making you fight the cushions to get comfortable again.
