Ligne Roset sits firmly in the premium, design-forward sofa lane—more sculptural lounge pieces than standard “blend-in” seating. We evaluated four widely recognized models across comfort, support, cooling, durability, cleaning, layout practicality, and value. The takeaway was consistent: these sofas reward relaxed lounging and constant posture changes more than rigid, upright sitting, and the trade-offs show up fastest in back support and day-to-day maintenance.

Testing Team Takeaways
Across all four, one theme kept repeating: Ligne Roset excels at “lounging freedom,” but you usually pay for it with either a low seat, a deep seat, or higher-maintenance upholstery. Prado was the easiest to dial in day to day thanks to the movable back cushions. Togo was the quickest to feel comfortable in a drop-in-and-relax way. Ploum was the coziest for curling up. Multy earned its spot for pure practicality when you need one sofa to handle daily seating and overnight guests.

How We Tested It
We put each sofa through the same daily loop—quick sit-downs, long streaming sessions, laptop work, and short naps—then scored Assembly, Cooling, Comfort, Durability, Layout Practicality, Cleaning, and Value. Marcus focused on edge use, sit-to-stand effort, and heat buildup. Carlos paid attention to mid-back and neck comfort during longer work sessions. Mia prioritized curl-up positions, pressure points, and how the depth felt at 5'4". The scores reflect what stayed comfortable over repeated sessions, and what was simply harder to live with day to day.
Ligne Roset Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Togo Sofa without arms
Our Testing Experience
Togo feels “broken in” from the first sit—no stiffness, no fighting the cushion, just a quick melt into a low lounge posture. Carlos could do late-night laptop work, but only after adding a firmer throw pillow behind his mid-back; otherwise he kept drifting into a slouch. Marcus tested edge sits and repeated stand-ups and didn’t notice frame flex, but he did call out the low seat height: after a long session, getting up takes a little more effort.
What we liked:
-
Fast, easy comfort that doesn’t require constant cushion tweaking
-
Feels stable when you shift around—no wobble or squeaks
-
Great for semi-reclined movie-night posture
Who it is best for:
-
People who like sitting low and don’t need a tall back
-
Rooms where lounging matters more than upright support
Where it falls short:
-
Limited upright support because of the low back
-
The cover isn’t removable, so spills feel higher-stakes
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Immediate comfort for relaxed sitting | Low seat height can be tough for some |
| Simple, stable build | Non-removable cover |
| Iconic lounge silhouette | Not ideal for long upright laptop sessions |

Prado Sofa depth 47¼"
Our Testing Experience
Prado was the one we kept adjusting without thinking—lean back for a movie, slide the cushions forward for a more upright sit, then sprawl diagonally once the night runs long. My lower back did better here than on the softer “nest” shapes because I could put the back cushion exactly where I wanted lumbar support. Mia, at 5'4", had the hardest time with the depth; without a foot support, she started perching forward. Marcus liked the stability, but he called out the feather layer feel as something you either love—and maintain.
What we liked:
-
Back cushions let you tune posture instead of accepting one fixed angle
-
Deep bench supports multiple lounging positions without feeling tight
-
Plush top feel that still reads supportive
Who it is best for:
-
People who bounce between upright and fully relaxed positions
-
Larger rooms where the depth won’t swallow the walkway
Where it falls short:
-
Deep seat can be awkward for petite users without a footrest
-
Feather/foam cushions benefit from regular fluffing
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Movable back cushions for posture tuning | Deep profile can overwhelm small rooms |
| Easy to stretch out; strong lounge performance | Feather layer means real cushion upkeep |
| Bench feel supports flexible seating styles | Not naturally petite-friendly without accessories |

Ploum Sofa high back
Our Testing Experience
Ploum is the sofa that turns a quick sit into a slow slide into comfort. The plush upholstery and soft foam make it feel welcoming no matter where you land, and I caught myself shifting positions constantly—upright for a minute, then curled, then half-lying across the corner. Carlos liked the softness but warned that long laptop sessions pushed his head forward unless he built a little pillow “ramp.” Marcus loved it for gaming because the contact felt evenly cushioned, but he also ran warm during longer sessions.
What we liked:
-
Ultra-cozy “nest” feel that supports real-life lounging positions
-
Generous depth makes curling up easy
-
Soft contact across back and head zones—easy to settle in
Who it is best for:
-
Loungers who curl up, sprawl, and move around
-
Homes where the sofa is the main decompression zone
Where it falls short:
-
Large footprint can dominate smaller rooms
-
Non-removable cover means cleaning strategy matters
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Extremely comfortable for curling up and lounging | Can feel warm on long sessions (nest effect) |
| Deep, generous seating area | Non-removable cover |
| Support feels evenly distributed | Upright work posture needs extra pillows |

Multy Sofabed 61" without arms with lumbar cushions
Our Testing Experience
Multy feels like the adult version of a small-space cheat code: sofa for daily use, chaise when you want to stretch out, then a real bed setup when guests stay over. As a sofa it’s more structured than Ploum or Togo—less sink, more awareness of what’s beneath you—which I actually liked for laptop nights because I didn’t keep sliding forward. Marcus ran the mechanism through repeated open/close cycles and liked the consistency, but he flagged that you need clear floor space and a careful hand to avoid snagging. The bed is convenient, but the thinner mattress profile is still a compromise after a full night. The “61"” in the name refers to the bed width; in sofa mode the frame measures about 65" wide.
What we liked:
-
Three-mode utility: sofa, chaise-longue, and sofabed
-
More upright-friendly posture than the ultra-lounge models
-
Strong real-world fit for hosting and small rooms
Who it is best for:
-
People who host guests in limited space
-
Living rooms that need to double as a bedroom
Where it falls short:
-
Convertible design compromises pure sofa plushness
-
Mechanism and seams add maintenance complexity
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Converts between sofa, chaise, and bed | Not as plush as the dedicated lounge sofas |
| Practical for frequent guests | Moving parts require careful use |
| More upright-friendly than deep, low loungers | Cleaning around seams and mechanism takes effort |

If you want the most balanced performer, Prado leads because it adapts to you—upright one moment, reclined the next—without fighting the cushions. Ploum has the strongest curl-up comfort advantage, but it’s less forgiving on cooling, cleaning, and footprint. Multy doesn’t win on luxury lounging, but it’s the most practical when the living room has to double as a guest room. Togo stays compelling when your priority is an iconic, low lounge that feels comfortable fast.
How to Choose the Ligne Roset Sofa?
Start with posture and leg comfort. If you sit upright for long stretches, prioritize adjustable back support (Prado) over the softer nest-style shapes (Ploum). If your room is tight, pay attention to depth and walkway clearance—deep designs can eat usable space quickly. Petite users usually do better with less depth, or with a plan for a footrest. In broad terms: all-day loungers will gravitate to Ploum or Togo; mixed-posture households tend to do best with Prado; and small-space hosts should look at Multy.
Limitations
Ligne Roset’s comfort bias is lounge-first, so true upright “desk posture” often requires extra pillows or careful cushion placement. Deep or low profiles can be tough for shorter legs or for anyone who dislikes a sunk-in hip angle. Non-removable covers on some models raise the consequences of spills, while sofa-bed mechanisms add upkeep and extra wear points over time.

Pro Tips for Ligne Roset Sofa
-
Measure walkway clearance, not just wall width; deep sofas can bottleneck a room quickly.
-
For laptop work on low or soft sofas, keep a firmer lumbar pillow and a small neck roll nearby.
-
On deep seats, add a movable footrest so shorter legs don’t dangle for hours.
-
On non-removable covers, use a washable throw on high-contact zones (seat center and edges).
-
Rotate your favorite spot; even premium cushions wear faster where you always land.
-
If you have feather or plush-topped cushions, do quick fluffing to keep support consistent.
-
If you run warm, prioritize upholstery that feels breathable in direct contact, not just fabrics that look “light.”
-
With sofa beds, clear the floor before converting; repeated snagging is how mechanisms get abused.
-
Keep an upholstery brush and lint tool accessible; quick maintenance beats deep-clean panic.
-
If you have pets, pick a fabric you can vacuum easily and avoid textures that trap hair.
FAQs
Which Ligne Roset Sofa is best for sitting upright for long periods?
Prado is the most accommodating because you can move the back cushions to match your lumbar support, rather than living with one fixed back angle.
Which one is best for curling up and side-lounging?
Ploum is the easiest to curl into—its deep shape and soft, even cushioning make many positions feel naturally supported.
Is a sofa bed like Multy comfortable enough for frequent guests?
It’s convenient and functional, but it’s still a convertible compromise. It works best when you value flexibility as much as pure sleep comfort.
What’s the biggest “maintenance” risk with these sofas?
Non-removable covers raise spill anxiety, and plush or feather-topped cushions reward routine care so the support doesn’t drift over time.
