Larkinhurst Sofa Reviews (2026)

• This is a supportive, "sit-up" sofa family, not a plush, sink-in one.
• The design details are traditional and fairly bold, so it looks best in rooms that can handle a substantial silhouette.
• The sleeper is useful for guests, but the memory-foam mattress tends to run warm.
• The sectionals add serious seating, but the footprint (and the visual bulk) needs space to breathe.
• Loose cushions and pillows look best when you rotate and fluff them regularly.

We treated each Larkinhurst configuration like it would be used in a real home: long sits, shared seating, getting up and down repeatedly, and paying attention to how the cushions held their shape (based on our how we test sofas rubric). For the sleeper, we also focused on the pull-out process and what the mattress feels like for an overnight stay. We scored the lineup on:

• Comfort and support during long sits
• Ease of setup (and how annoying it would be to move into place)
• Heat buildup and breathability
• Build feel and durability signals (seams, frame stability, cushion recovery)
• Cleaning and upkeep for a faux-leather surface
• Layout practicality for different room sizes
• Overall value for the materials and construction

We started with the standard sofa as the baseline for how this collection sits. The pocketed-coil support kept the seat from sagging into a hammock, even when we switched between upright work posture and relaxed movie lounging. The front edge felt stable during repeated sit-stand cycles, and the rolled arms were genuinely useful when shifting positions. It does invite lounging, but it is not a true deep-seat "sink in" style.

Our Testing Experience

What we liked:

• Support stays consistent: you do not bottom out or feel the seat collapse over time.
• The arms and seat edge feel steady when sitting down, leaning, and standing back up.
• The traditional detailing looks intentional and holds its shape well from a distance.

Who it is best for:

• People who prefer a supportive sit for everyday use (work, TV, and conversation).
• Traditional rooms that can handle a taller back and chunkier silhouette.
• Shoppers who want a leather-look finish without committing to real leather.

Where it falls short:

• Deep-lounge fans who want a softer, more sink-in feel.
• Anyone sensitive to motion transfer when another person shifts position.
• Small spaces where bulky rolled arms reduce usable seating width.

Details

• Overall size: 89"W x 39"D x 38"H
• Seat depth / height: 22.5" / 20.5"
• Upholstery: faux leather (polyester/PU blend noted)
• Cushion support: pocketed-coil support with foam and fiber wrap
• Includes: 2 decorative pillows
• Warranty: 1 year limited

Pros & Cons

We used the sleeper as a daily sofa first (laptop sessions, meals, and late-night shows), then opened it up for an overnight guest scenario. The seating feel came across a bit firmer than the standard sofa, which helped during longer upright sits. The pull-out process itself was straightforward, but you do need enough floor space to open it without turning the room into a maze. As a guest solution, it is convenient, but you should plan for heat and add a protector to keep the mattress clean.

Our Testing Experience

What we liked:

• Turns a full-size sofa into a guest bed without looking like a "sleeper" first.
• Firm, supportive sit that works well for upright posture.
• The pull-out action is manageable once you have the clearance.

Who it is best for:

• Homes that host occasional guests but do not want a dedicated guest room.
• Living rooms where you want one piece to do double duty.
• People who prefer a firmer sofa feel during everyday use.

Where it falls short:

• Hot sleepers (memory foam plus upholstery can trap heat).
• Rooms where you cannot spare floor space to open the bed fully.
• Anyone who expects a pull-out to feel like a full mattress.

Details

• Overall size: 89"W x 39"D x 38"H
• Mattress: bi-fold queen memory foam; 60"W x 72"D x 4.25"H; damask ticking
• Upholstery: faux leather (polyester/PU blend noted)
• Setup: assembly required
• Warranty: 1 year limited (cushioning/leather); 3 year limited (sleeper mattress and mechanisms)

Pros & Cons

We tested the 2-piece sectional as the "everyday family" configuration. The L-shape makes it easier to spread out, and the supportive seat feel stays consistent across sections. Movement from one person is noticeable, but it is not disruptive enough to feel unstable. The tradeoff is that the overall look is substantial, so it suits rooms where you are not trying to keep a light, minimal feel.

Our Testing Experience

What we liked:

• Roomy L-shape that makes it easy to stretch out without feeling cramped.
• Supportive seat structure that feels stable across sections.
• Works well for group seating in a medium-to-large living room.

Who it is best for:

• Households that want a sectional for everyday TV, conversation, and lounging.
• People who like a firmer sit with a traditional look.
• Rooms that can handle a substantial footprint and silhouette.

Where it falls short:

• Small rooms where the layout limits walking space.
• Anyone who wants a lighter, lower-profile modern sectional.
• Buyers who prefer a softer, deeper, "sink in" lounge feel.

Details

• Configuration: two-piece sectional (LAF sofa + RAF loveseat)
• Upholstery: faux leather (polyester/PU blend noted)
• Cushion fill: low-melt fiber over foam; coil seating
• Includes: 3 decorative pillows
• Warranty: 1 year limited

Pros & Cons

The 3-piece sectional is the biggest option in the line, and it feels like it. The armless chair adds a central seat that makes the layout better for hosting, and the cushion support stays consistent across the pieces. The main question is space: the sectional can dominate a room, so it works best when the rest of the layout is planned around it.

Our Testing Experience

What we liked:

• Large seating capacity that works well for groups and family hangouts.
• Armless chair helps create a more communal, "everyone fits" layout.
• Supportive seat feel holds up during long sits.

Who it is best for:

• Large living rooms that are set up for hosting and everyday lounging.
• Families that want maximum seating in one footprint.
• People who like a traditional look with a sturdy, structured sit.

Where it falls short:

• Smaller spaces where the sectional becomes the entire room.
• Shoppers who want a deeper, softer lounge seat.
• Anyone who wants a sectional that is easy to move or reconfigure often.

Details

• Overall size: 179"W x 39"D x 38"H
• Configuration: armless chair + RAF loveseat + LAF sofa
• Upholstery: faux leather (polyester/PU blend noted)
• Cushion fill: low-melt fiber over foam; coil seating
• Includes: 3 decorative pillows
• Warranty: 1 year limited

Pros & Cons

Start with your room measurements. These pieces are visually substantial, and the rolled arms add bulk. Measure wall length, walking clearance, and your doorway width before you decide on a sofa versus a sectional.

Pick the function first, then the layout. If you rarely host overnight guests, the standard sofa is the simplest choice. If you need a guest bed, the sleeper is practical, but it requires floor space to open and it will feel warmer than a typical bed. If you want maximum seating for daily use, the sectionals make more sense than adding chairs around a sofa.

Expect a supportive sit. The seat feel across the line is structured rather than plush. If you like to sink in, you may prefer a different style or plan to add throw pillows for a softer back feel.

Think about upkeep. Faux leather is easy to wipe down, but seams, stitching, and nailhead trim still collect dust. Rotating cushions and fluffing the pillows helps keep the look even over time.

No. The upholstery is described as a leather alternative (a faux leather/polyurethane-style material), which gives a rustic leather look without being genuine leather.

It sits on the supportive side. You get structured cushioning that holds you up rather than letting you sink in, which works well for everyday sitting but not for people who want a plush lounge feel.

It is a workable guest solution for occasional use. The mattress is thinner and tends to sleep warmer than a normal bed, so it is best for short stays or when convenience is the priority.

Both sectionals need breathing room. The 2-piece can fit in medium-to-large spaces, while the 3-piece works best in larger living rooms where you can keep clear walkways around the footprint.
