Macy’s sofa lineup runs from compact, style-forward sofas to sprawling sectionals and power-reclining leather seating.
To keep this review grounded in everyday use, I focused on four popular options and lived with them the way most people use a couch: long TV nights, laptop sessions, quick naps, and hosting friends. The biggest wins were seat comfort and overall value; the biggest trade-offs were heat retention on some materials and the real-world hassle of moving and maintaining larger builds.

Testing Team Takeaways
Across this set, the biggest difference was how each sofa supported posture during long stretches—movie marathons, reading, and laptop work.
Radley was the best for spreading out and hosting, but it demands space and consistent fabric care. Jollene was the easiest daily driver: the seat depth worked for more body types without awkward leg angles. Myriem delivered a plush, modern sit with low-fuss wipe-down cleaning, though the attached cushions limit adjustability. Nevio was the TV-first comfort play—power recline on demand—but it was the least forgiving to move, with more components to maintain over time.

How We Tested It
We rotated each sofa through everyday life (using the same checklist described in our how we test sofas guide): delivery and setup, a first-week break-in, then long viewing sessions, laptop work blocks, and casual naps.
We scored Assembly, Cooling, Comfort, Durability, Layout Practicality, Cleaning, and Value. For Comfort, we looked at seat comfort, back support, and seat-depth fit, and we also tracked the small realities—how easy it was to shift positions, stand up, and reset the room for guests.
Macy's Sofa: Our Testing Experience
Radley 5-Piece Fabric Chaise Sectional
Our Testing Experience
Radley changed the room immediately. The footprint invites people to spread out without negotiating for space. I spent most evenings rotating between the corner and the chaise, and the 24" seat depth made it easy to settle into a semi-reclined posture without feeling perched. Jenna and Ethan did a full two-person movie night on the chaise-to-corner run, and Marcus treated the chaise like a stand-in bed during late gaming. The cushions stayed supportive for long sessions, but for upright laptop work I got better results with a small lumbar pillow.
What we liked
-
Big, lounge-ready seating that doesn’t feel cramped
-
Reversible cushions made the “week two” feel closer to “week one”
-
Easy to host without everyone fighting for the comfortable spot
Who it is best for
-
Families or frequent hosts who want a true sprawl zone
-
Taller users who actually benefit from a deeper seat
-
Anyone prioritizing movie-night comfort over upright posture
Where it falls short
-
Deep-seat posture can flatten lumbar support during laptop work
-
The scale is unforgiving in smaller rooms
-
Fabric care is a real part of ownership, not an afterthought
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Huge seating capacity for everyday use and guests | Requires a large room to feel proportional |
| Deep seat makes lounging and napping feel natural | Upright work posture often needs a lumbar pillow |
| Reversible/removable cushions help day-to-day maintenance | Fabric upkeep is more demanding than leather wipe-down |
| Layout reads clean and modern with track-style arms | Repositioning pieces is not casual “move it yourself” work |

Jollene 78" Fabric Sofa
Our Testing Experience
Jollene was the sofa I kept returning to for “normal life” comfort—reading, short naps, and sitting upright without overthinking posture. Mia immediately noticed the 21" seat depth was easier on shorter legs; she could curl up without her feet dangling or her hips sliding forward. Carlos used it for laptop work and found the back cushions plush, so he adjusted his sitting position to keep his neck and mid-back aligned. The bigger win for me was how quickly it looked pulled together again after use.
What we liked
-
Seat depth works for a broader range of heights
-
Easy to “live on” without constant pillow engineering
-
Style feels intentional without sacrificing comfort
Who it is best for
-
Apartment living or smaller living rooms
-
Mixed-height households that share the same sofa
-
People who alternate between upright sitting and lounging
Where it falls short
-
Plush back cushions can feel too soft for long upright work
-
Needs routine fluffing to keep the back looking crisp
-
Solvent-based spot-clean guidance is less forgiving than wipe-clean
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced seat depth supports everyday sitting and lounging | Softer back cushions can reduce upright support over time |
| Compact size fits smaller rooms without feeling tiny | Requires periodic cushion maintenance to stay neat |
| Removable/reversible back cushions add flexibility | Cleaning approach is more cautious than simple wipe-down |
| Strong value for the price | Not the best pick for deep-sprawl lounging |

Myriem 87" Fabric Sofa
Our Testing Experience
Myriem felt like the sofa equivalent of throwing on a hoodie: casual, plush, and easy to settle into. Jamal liked the 20" seat height because standing up felt more natural after stretching—no climbing out of a low seat. Mia used it for long calls and reading and preferred the rounded profile, which felt gentler on the outer hip when she curled into a corner. The tight, attached cushions kept the surface looking consistent day to day, but it also meant you can’t swap or rotate cushions when one spot becomes the default.
What we liked
-
Plush comfort that still feels stable under posture changes
-
Higher seat height makes it easier to stand up quickly
-
Low-fuss cleaning routine for everyday mess
Who it is best for
-
Casual living rooms where the sofa is used all day
-
Taller users who prefer a slightly higher sit
-
Households that want simple maintenance without constant cushion flipping
Where it falls short
-
Attached cushions limit “rotate and refresh” strategies
-
Breathability is average during long sessions
-
The look is bold; it won’t disappear into every décor style
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Plush seating with spring support feels stable | Attached cushions reduce adjustability and rotation |
| Higher seat height improves ease of standing | Not the coolest option for long, warm-room sessions |
| Wipe-clean care makes everyday maintenance easier | Style is more modern and rounded than classic silhouettes |
| Consistent “always looks put together” surface | Less modular flexibility than sectionals |

Nevio 82" 2pc Leather Sofa with 2 Power Recliners
Our Testing Experience
Nevio was the dedicated TV seat in this group. The moment we plugged it in, the room started behaving like a theater setup. Marcus and Carlos ran the long-session test—sports, gaming, then a late-night doze—and the power recline made it easy to take pressure off the lower back and legs. I liked being able to shift from upright viewing to a relaxed angle without scooting forward and compressing the seat edge. The trade-off is practical living: it’s heavy, it needs clearance to recline, and it’s not something you casually drag to vacuum behind. Comfort is the headline, but ownership feels more planned than casual.
What we liked
-
Power recline makes long viewing sessions easier on the body
-
Leather is quick to wipe down after normal use
-
Reclined length supports actual leg extension
Who it is best for
-
Households that prioritize recline-first comfort
-
People who watch a lot of TV and want repeatable positioning
-
Users who prefer leather feel and quick wipe-down cleaning
Where it falls short
-
More parts and power features raise the maintenance bar
-
Heavy to reposition and layout-dependent
-
Upright posture depends on how you use the headrest and recline angle
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Dual power recliners enable precise lounging angles | Heavy build makes room changes and cleaning behind harder |
| Reclined length supports full-leg relaxation | Requires planning for clearance from the wall |
| Leather wipe-down is convenient for daily mess | Mechanical complexity increases long-term upkeep needs |
| Track-arm silhouette fits modern rooms | Not a natural fit for tight spaces |

If you want the most even performance, Jollene and Myriem are the cleanest “set it and live on it” picks, with strong comfort and few practical penalties. Radley delivers the biggest lounge payoff, but you pay for it in space demands and extra fabric-care discipline. Nevio’s scores tell the story clearly: the comfort is there, but the moment you factor in durability risk and the realities of moving a powered piece, it becomes a specialized choice rather than a universal one.
How to Choose the Macy's Sofa?
Start with seat depth and your default posture. If you sit upright with a laptop, a moderate depth tends to keep your hips and lower back more naturally stacked; if you sprawl, deeper seats feel more forgiving.
Next, measure a sofa’s footprint against your room: large sectionals reward open space, while compact sofas keep walkways from feeling tight. Finally, be honest about upholstery maintenance—wipe-down materials are simpler than strict spot-clean rules if you have kids, pets, or frequent guests. In this set, Jollene is the easiest fit for petite loungers and mixed-height households; Myriem is a plush, low-fuss daily driver; Radley is the hosting and sprawl anchor; and Nevio is the recline-first TV pick.
Limitations
These Macy’s picks lean into comfort and visual presence, so the trade-offs tend to show up in breathability, posture precision, and long-term ease of ownership. Radley isn’t forgiving in small rooms or for frequent rearranging. Jollene can feel too soft in the back for strict upright work. Myriem’s attached cushions reduce day-to-day adjustability and rotation. Nevio needs clearance planning, access to power, and a willingness to live with a more complex mechanism.

Pro Tips for Macy's Sofa
-
Measure more than wall length—map your walking paths so the room doesn’t become “all sofa.”
-
If you’re between sizes, prioritize seat-depth fit over arm style; comfort shows up daily.
-
For deep seats, keep a slim lumbar pillow nearby to prevent low-back flattening during long TV nights.
-
Rotate where you sit when possible; even small habit changes slow down “favorite spot” wear.
-
Vacuum seams and cushion edges weekly to keep grit from grinding into fabric and stitching.
-
Treat spills as a timing issue: blot quickly, then follow the listed care method instead of improvising.
-
For power recliners, plan outlet access and leave recline clearance before you commit to placement.
-
Use felt pads or furniture glides early—big pieces are easier to protect floors with than to repair later.
-
If you host often, test “guest posture”: can someone sit upright comfortably without sinking into a lounge slump?
-
Recheck doorways and stair turns before delivery day; big sectionals are logistics before they’re furniture.
FAQs
Which of these feels best for long movie nights?
Radley is the sprawl winner, while Nevio is best if you want recline-on-demand comfort and repeatable positioning.
Which option works best for smaller living rooms?
Jollene is the easiest fit for smaller rooms at 78" wide, and it still reads like a full-size sofa rather than a downsized compromise.
Which is easiest to keep clean day to day?
Myriem is the simplest for quick wipe-down maintenance. Leather is typically easier for fast surface cleanup than textured fabric, too.
Do deep seats automatically mean better comfort?
Not always. Deep seats help lounging, but if you sit upright for work, a moderate depth can keep your hips and lower back in a less slouched position.
