The Larkinhurst collection has an unmistakably traditional look: rolled arms, nailhead trim, turned feet, oversized window-pane stitching, and weathered faux leather in an earthy brown. The standard sofa and queen sleeper both feel supportive and substantial, making them better for upright sitting and everyday use than for deep, sink-in lounging.
The standard sofa and queen sleeper are still sold through some regional and independent retailers, but stock and prices vary widely. The older sectional configurations are discontinued, so this review focuses on the two models that remain realistic purchases and explains where each one works best.

What Stood Out in Daily Use
Larkinhurst Sofa: This is the cleaner choice if seating is all you need. Its pocketed-coil cushions keep the sit level and supportive, while the 20.5-inch seat height makes standing up easier than it is on many low lounge sofas. The tradeoff is bulk: the rolled arms leave 66 inches of usable width inside an 89-inch frame.
Larkinhurst Queen Sofa Sleeper: The sleeper preserves nearly the same everyday sit while adding a 60-by-72-inch guest mattress. It is useful for occasional visitors, but the thin mattress, warmer sleep surface, extra weight, and required opening clearance make it a backup bed rather than a substitute for a regular mattress.
Both models suit traditional rooms and people who prefer support over softness. Neither is a strong match for shoppers who want a cool, low-profile sofa with a deep, cushiony seat.

How We Evaluated the Larkinhurst Lineup
Each model was used for upright laptop sessions, relaxed TV viewing, shared seating, and repeated sit-and-stand cycles. We also measured the frame and seat, tracked cushion compression and recovery, checked surface warmth over a one-hour sit, and wiped common spills from the upholstery. The sleeper added timed opening and closing, mattress measurements, and an overnight comfort check, following our broader sofa testing process.
The final 5-point scores cover:
- Comfort and ergonomic support during short and extended sits
- Setup effort, weight, doorway clearance, and daily operation
- Heat buildup across the seat, back, and sleeper mattress
- Frame stability, seam alignment, cushion recovery, and other durability signals
- Cleaning effort on the leather-look surface and around the stitching
- Layout practicality and the amount of usable seating within the footprint
- Value relative to construction, function, warranty, and current regional pricing
Larkinhurst Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Larkinhurst Sofa
The standard sofa established the comfort baseline for the collection. Our sample measured 89.1 inches wide, 39 inches deep, and 38 inches high, essentially matching the listed dimensions. The 22.5-inch seat depth left enough room to relax without forcing an exaggerated recline, and the tall back made upright laptop sessions feel natural.

Our Testing Experience
The seat started at 20.5 inches high and compressed to 18.9 inches under our seated load. At the center, the cushion compressed 1.6 inches; the front edge moved 1.1 inches, which explains why the sofa felt secure during repeated sit-and-stand cycles. After 50 cycles, the cushion recovered about 95% of its original height within one minute and the frame stayed quiet.
The upholstery was easy to wipe clean, though crumbs collected along the window-pane stitching and around the nailhead trim. Surface temperature rose 4.8°F during a one-hour sit, noticeable against bare skin but less pronounced than on the sleeper mattress.
What we liked:
- The pocketed-coil cushions distribute weight evenly and keep the seat from folding under you.
- The front edge and rolled arms feel stable when you sit down, shift position, or stand up.
- The traditional details look intentional at room scale, especially in spaces with warm wood and classic furniture.
Who it is best for:
- People who sit upright for conversation, TV, reading, or occasional work at a laptop.
- Average-to-tall adults who prefer a 20.5-inch seat height and reliable leg support.
- Traditional rooms that can handle a tall back and wide rolled arms.
Where it falls short:
- The cushions feel supportive rather than plush, so deep-lounge shoppers will want a softer design.
- The 23 inches devoted to the arms and outer frame reduce usable seating width.
- The leather-look surface warms up during long sits and requires extra attention around stitched seams.
Details
- Overall size: 89"W x 39"D x 38"H
- Seat: 66"W x 22.5"D x 20.5"H
- Arm height: 26.5"
- Upholstery: 95% polyester / 5% polyurethane
- Support: pocketed coils with foam and fiber wrap
- Includes: 2 decorative pillows
- Minimum doorway: 32"

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Supportive seat with strong edge stability | Firm rather than plush |
| Distinct traditional styling | Rolled arms reduce usable width |
| Accurate listed dimensions | Surface can feel warm |
Larkinhurst Queen Sleeper
The sleeper feels much like the standard sofa in everyday use, but the steel mechanism underneath gives the seat a slightly firmer stop. That extra structure worked well for reading and laptop use. At roughly 204 pounds, however, the sleeper needs two capable people or delivery service to position it safely.

Our Testing Experience
Once the seat cushions were removed, one person opened the pull-out bed in 1 minute 42 seconds; with two people, the same process took 1 minute 8 seconds. The opened sleeper measured 89 inches from the outside back to the mattress end, so it needs about 50 inches of clear floor beyond the sofa's front edge.
The mattress matched its 60-by-72-inch listing and measured 4.25 inches thick before loading. It compressed to about 3.2 inches at the hip area, enough to make the support bars more noticeable for side sleepers than for back sleepers. After one hour, the mattress surface was 6.3°F warmer than at the start. That heat buildup and the limited cushioning are why this works for occasional stays, not frequent overnight use.
What we liked:
- It keeps the same traditional appearance as the sofa while adding a full queen-width sleep surface.
- The firmer seat feels steady for upright daily use and does not advertise the mechanism underneath.
- The pull-out moves smoothly once the path in front of the sofa is clear.
Who it is best for:
- Homes that host occasional guests but cannot dedicate a room to a permanent bed.
- Living rooms with at least 50 inches of open space in front of the sofa when the bed is deployed.
- People who prefer firm everyday seating and value function more than a plush guest mattress.
Where it falls short:
- Side sleepers can feel the thin mattress compress around the hips and shoulders.
- The mattress and leather-look upholstery retain more warmth than the standard sofa.
- The extra weight makes delivery, assembly, and later room changes harder.

Details
- Overall size: 89"W x 39"D x 38"H
- Mattress: 60"W x 72"D x 4.25"H bi-fold queen memory foam
- Open depth from outside back: 89"
- Upholstery: leather-look polyester/polyurethane
- Support: pocketed-coil cushions; steel sleeper frame
- Weight: about 204 lb.
- Assembly: required

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Queen-width guest bed in a standard sofa footprint | Thin mattress is best for short stays |
| Firm, steady everyday seating | Warmest surface in the lineup |
| Smooth pull-out action | Heavy and space-intensive when open |

Which Larkinhurst Model Should You Choose?
Choose the standard sofa for everyday seating. It gives you the same 66-inch seating width and supportive pocketed-coil feel without the sleeper's added cost, weight, or moving parts. This is the better value if overnight guests are rare.
Choose the sleeper only when the guest bed will be used. The mattress is genuinely queen-width, but it is five inches shorter than a standard 80-inch queen mattress and only 4.25 inches thick. It is well suited to short visits, not repeated multi-night stays.
Check the fit before ordering. Both models are 89 inches wide and need a 32-inch doorway. The rolled arms make the sofa feel larger than its usable 66-inch seat width suggests. The sleeper also needs about 50 inches of clear floor in front when open.
Match the comfort and material to your habits. The 20.5-inch seat height and firm coils favor upright sitting. The upholstery wipes clean easily, but the stitched panels and nailhead trim need more detailed dusting, and the surface can feel warm during a long sit.
What to Know Before You Buy
Availability is the largest practical limitation. The sofa and sleeper are sold by regional and independent retailers rather than with consistent nationwide stock, so prices, delivery service, return policies, and warranty handling can differ. Confirm the model number, production condition, and return terms before paying.
The comfort style is equally specific. Both models favor structure over softness, and the leather-look upholstery retains warmth. Shoppers who want a deep, cool, low-profile lounge sofa should look elsewhere.
How Larkinhurst Compares With Current Alternatives
Ashley Navi Sofa: The Navi is another 89-inch weathered faux-leather sofa, but its track arms, 22-inch seat height, and cleaner profile feel more contemporary. It usually costs less than the Larkinhurst and uses foam cushions over a platform foundation rather than the same pocketed-coil setup. Choose Navi for a modern room and a lower entry price; choose Larkinhurst for traditional detailing and a slightly lower seat.
Ashley Maderla Sofa: The Maderla uses faux leather with pillow-top arms, tufting, and a softer-looking contemporary shape. Clearance pricing can make it the least expensive option here, though clearance stock is less predictable. It is a better match for shoppers who want cushioned arms and a casual look, while Larkinhurst offers firmer edge support and more formal styling.
Ashley Navi Queen Sofa Sleeper: Navi's sleeper serves the same dual-purpose role with a modern faux-leather design and a lower typical price. It makes more sense for buyers who care about cost and clean lines. The Larkinhurst sleeper is the stronger aesthetic fit when rolled arms, nailhead trim, and warm traditional decor matter.
Ashley Keerwick Queen Sofa Sleeper: The Keerwick is a larger fabric sleeper at 94 inches wide and 41 inches deep, with a 60-by-72-by-4-inch memory-foam mattress. Its polyester upholstery feels softer and less leather-like, but the wider frame demands more room. Choose Keerwick for fabric comfort and a larger sofa; choose Larkinhurst for a narrower footprint and traditional leather-look finish.
Practical Setup and Care Tips
- Confirm the 32-inch delivery path and measure every hallway turn, stair landing, and elevator opening.
- Leave roughly 50 inches in front of the sleeper so the mattress can open without moving a heavy coffee table each time.
- Rotate the loose seat cushions and fluff the feather-filled pillows to keep wear even.
- Vacuum the stitched channels and nailhead trim before wiping the surface with a lightly damp cloth.
- Use a breathable mattress protector on the sleeper and add a thin topper if guests need more pressure relief.
FAQs
Is the Larkinhurst sofa real leather?
No. It uses leather-look upholstery. Current product specifications for the standard sofa list the body material as 95% polyester and 5% polyurethane.
How firm is the Larkinhurst sofa?
It is firmly supportive rather than hard. The pocketed-coil cushions hold you up, the front edge stays stable, and our standard sofa earned 4.0/5 for comfort. It will feel too structured for people who want a deep, cloud-like seat.
Is the sleeper comfortable for overnight guests?
It works well for occasional short stays. The 4.25-inch mattress compresses noticeably at the hips and shoulders and retains warmth, so frequent guests will benefit from a topper or a more bed-focused sleeper.
Where can you buy a Larkinhurst sofa?
Regional and independent Ashley retailers still list the standard sofa and queen sleeper, but stock and pricing vary. Confirm model 3190138 for the sofa or 3190139 for the sleeper, and verify whether the item is new inventory, a floor sample, or a special order.
