Homebody Sofa Reviews (2026)

Marcus Reed’s biggest takeaway was the cushion system. Being able to adjust the inserts noticeably changed support, and the deep seat stayed comfortable through longer sit tests without feeling like you were stuck in one position.

Mia Chen focused on the recline. The “hidden” design keeps the sofa looking clean when it’s upright, and the Zero Gravity position felt meaningfully different from a standard power recline—more like a true reset for your back and legs.

Jenna Brooks paid the most attention to everyday mess. In spill checks, liquid tended to bead instead of soaking in right away, and the removable covers (especially in linen and the pet-friendly fabric) felt more realistic for day-to-day upkeep than dry-clean-only upholstery.

Ethan Cole called out the trade-offs: the modules are bulky, the boxes are heavy, and the cost rises quickly as you add recliners or build out a larger configuration. Assembly is tool-free, but it’s not a one-box, one-person job.

We evaluated Homebody’s Luxe configurations using a consistent scoring method focused on real-world use. That included comfort (seat depth and support), assembly and setup (how easily the modules connect and how manageable delivery feels), cooling and breathability, durability (materials and build), fabric care and cleaning, layout practicality (especially the recline footprint), and overall value based on pricing and policies.

Pros & Cons

Our Testing Experience

The 3-seat Luxe Sofa is the simplest way to experience what Homebody does well. It keeps a streamlined look, but still gives you deep seating and the option to add hidden recliners. The cushion inserts made a bigger difference than we expected—small changes noticeably shifted support, especially in the back cushions. The recline function felt integrated rather than bulky, and it works without forcing the sofa away from the wall, though you still need to plan for the reclined depth in front.

What we liked

• The adjustable inserts let you dial in support instead of settling for one fixed feel.
• The hidden recline design keeps the sofa from looking like traditional power seating.
• The fabric options are built for real-life use, especially for spills and quick cleanups.

Who it is best for

• Anyone who wants a clean-looking sofa that can also recline.
• People who like deep seating and a softer, lounge-forward feel.
• Rooms where you want wall placement but still want power recline functionality.

Where it falls short

• The price is high even before you add recliners or extra modules.
• You need front clearance for the full recline depth, so coffee table spacing matters.
• The modules are large, which makes moving and rearranging more work.

Details

• Configuration: 3 Seat Chaise Reclining Sofa
• Dimensions: 125" W x (L) 39.5 / (R) 72.5" D x 37.5" H
• Seat height: 21"
• Arm height: 27"
• Weight capacity: 350 lbs per seat
• Price (tested configuration): $6,820

Pros & Cons

Our Testing Experience

If you’re a chaise person, this is the configuration that will win you over. The lounge side is genuinely deep, and it makes the sofa feel more like a daybed for stretching out. Comfort is still adjustable the same way as the standard sofa, so you can fine-tune the back cushions instead of living with a one-size-fits-all plushness. The key trade-off is space: the deeper side changes how the room flows, and the chaise seat itself doesn’t recline.

What we liked

• The chaise depth makes it easy to fully stretch out.
• The adjustable inserts let you avoid an overly “pillowy” back feel.
• It keeps the same clean profile as the rest of the Luxe line.

Who it is best for

• People who regularly lounge sideways, nap, or sprawl out on the sofa.
• Rooms that can comfortably accommodate the deeper chaise side.
• Households that want a chaise layout with the option to add recline on other seats.

Where it falls short

• The chaise depth can crowd walkways in smaller layouts.
• Because the chaise seat stays fixed, not every seat has the same “feature” level.
• It’s harder to move around compared with the straight sofa.

Details

• Configuration: 5 Seat L-Shape Reclining Sectional
• Dimensions: 162.5" W x (L) 83.5 / (R) 39.5" D x 37.5" H
• Seat height: 21"
• Arm height: 27"
• Weight capacity: 350 lbs per seat
• Price (tested configuration): $9,560

Pros & Cons

Our Testing Experience

The L-Shape is the sweet spot if you want a sectional feel without committing to a full U-shape footprint. It creates a clear lounge corner and adds more “everyone can sit together” space. During testing, we found the modular setup helpful for maneuvering pieces, but it still takes time to unbox, connect, and dial in the cushion inserts across multiple seats. If you’re adding recliners, the wall-hugging design helps with placement, but you still need to plan the recline depth into the room layout.

What we liked

• The corner layout adds lounging space without the U-shape scale.
• The modular design makes delivery and placement more manageable than a one-piece sectional.
• Recliners can be added to key seats without turning it into a “theater” sectional.

Who it is best for

• Families and households that host often and want more seating.
• Living rooms where a corner layout makes sense for traffic flow.
• Anyone who wants a modular sectional that still feels refined.

Where it falls short

• It’s a large piece, and the footprint demands careful measuring.
• Tool-free assembly is nice, but the multi-module setup takes time.
• The price can escalate quickly as you add recliners or expand the layout.

Details

• Configuration: 6 Seat U-Shape Reclining Sectional
• Dimensions: 162.5" W x (L) 83.5 / (R) 83.5" D x 37.5" H
• Seat height: 21"
• Arm height: 27"
• Weight capacity: 350 lbs per seat
• Price (tested configuration): $11,840

Pros & Cons

Our Testing Experience

The U-Shape is the “movie-night” configuration: it’s the easiest way to fit a lot of people without anyone feeling stuck on an awkward extra chair. Comfort stays consistent, and the modular design keeps it from feeling like a single, immovable slab—though it’s still a major footprint commitment. This is also where the fabric choice matters most. With this much surface area, warmer-feeling fabrics are more noticeable during long sits, and the overall investment is significant.

What we liked

• The wraparound layout makes it easy for multiple people to lounge at once.
• Comfort feels consistent across seats, not just in the “best spot.”
• It’s the most natural setup if you want more than one recliner seat.

Who it is best for

• Large living rooms and households that routinely use every seat.
• People who host, watch movies, or want a true group lounge setup.
• Anyone who wants modular seating plus hidden recline functionality.

Where it falls short

• The footprint is large enough to eliminate it for many homes.
• Depending on fabric choice, it can feel warmer during extended lounging.
• It’s the biggest investment in the lineup, especially with add-ons.

Across the Luxe lineup, comfort and recline design scored the strongest overall. The bigger differences showed up in cooling and footprint practicality: larger layouts are harder to place, and some fabric choices can feel warmer over time. For most living rooms, the 3-seat Luxe Sofa and the 5-seat L-Shape landed as the most balanced options.

Start with your room plan. The Luxe line is built for deep lounging, and recline depth extends forward, so overall width isn’t the only measurement that matters. From there, the decision is mostly about how you want to use the space day to day.

• Choose the Luxe Sofa if you want the most straightforward setup with optional recline and a cleaner footprint.
• Choose the Chaise if you know you’ll actually use the lounge side and you have the depth to spare.
• Choose the L-Shape if you want corner seating for families and hosting without going all-in on a U-shape.
• Choose the U-Shape if you regularly need maximum seating and your room can handle the footprint.
• Pick your fabric based on how you live—washable/removable covers are the easiest day-to-day, while velvet typically needs more careful spot cleaning.

Homebody’s biggest differentiator is the combination of modular design and hidden wall-hugging power recline. If that’s not a priority, you can find other modular sectionals with strong comfort at a lower price.

• Lovesac Sactional – A highly modular system with washable covers and lots of configuration options, but it doesn’t focus on integrated hidden recline in the same way.
• West Elm Harmony Modular – Known for a soft, lounge-y feel and strong style options, but it’s more about design than built-in recline features.
• Article modular sectionals – Typically more budget-friendly and simpler, but with fewer customization and recline-focused features.

• Measure your doorways, stair turns, and hallways as carefully as the room footprint.
• When planning recliners, allow 22" between a closed recliner and your coffee table so the room still functions.
• Plan ahead for power access if you’re adding recliner modules.
• Decide which seats should recline before ordering—adding recliners everywhere isn’t always necessary.
• Choose fabric based on your lifestyle: washable options are easier with kids and pets, while velvet usually needs more careful upkeep.
• Give yourself a few days to adjust the inserts; small changes can noticeably change firmness and back support.
• Order swatches if you can—color and texture can look different in your lighting.
• Use the wall-hugging design to place the sofa close to the wall, but still plan front clearance for recline depth.
• Consider upgraded delivery help if you don’t want to manage multiple heavy boxes.

The Luxe line combines a modular layout with optional hidden wall-hugging recliners and a cushion insert system that lets you adjust support. It’s designed to feel plush and lounge-forward without looking like traditional power seating.

Assembly is tool-free and the modules connect in a straightforward way, but delivery involves multiple heavy boxes. For larger configurations, two people make setup much easier.

No. Homebody uses wall-hugging recliners designed to work without extra clearance behind the sofa. You still need space in front for the full recline depth.

Many covers are removable, and Homebody’s linen and pet-friendly performance fabrics are designed for machine washing. Velvet typically requires spot cleaning or dry cleaning.

The performance fabrics and removable covers help with day-to-day mess, especially if you choose a pet-friendly fabric option. That said, the plush cushions can still trap hair, so fabric choice matters if shedding is a concern.

If you want the hidden recline experience, deep seating, and adjustable cushion feel, the Luxe line can justify its cost. If you mainly want a simple modular sofa without the recline-focused features, there are less expensive alternatives.
