MadeRight Sofa Reviews (2026)

MadeRight’s made-to-order sofas lean into customization—performance fabrics, leather options, and multiple seat builds—at a premium starting around $3,872–$4,660 for the four mainstream sofas I tested. I focused on seat comfort, back support, heat buildup, and how each frame handled real-life lounging, work, and naps. The line’s big strengths are deep seats and sturdy construction; the main drawbacks are fit sensitivity for shorter legs and the price of getting it dialed in.

Product Overview

Testing Team Takeaways

Across the four sofas, fit drove most of our conclusions: Big Sur’s deeper seat turned into Marcus’s favorite for late-night gaming slumps, while Mia stayed happiest on Sacramento when she wanted her legs to feel more “anchored” instead of dangling. Jamal liked the stretch-out room on all four, but the low Not Called Frisco asked more effort on stand-ups. I kept returning to Venice as the most flexible for switching between laptop posture and a long, quiet movie recline.

How We Tested It

We set each sofa in the same living-room footprint, then rotated through upright laptop work, long movie sessions, and quick naps. For Assembly, we tracked delivery setup and any alignment needed. Cooling was judged by heat buildup during extended sits, while Comfort was logged as seat feel, back support, and seat-depth fit. Durability, Layout Practicality, Cleaning, and Value were scored from cushion recovery, posture changes, routine wipe-downs, and how naturally each design fit everyday life.

Venice Sofa

Our Testing Experience

I used Venice the way I use most sofas: a focused laptop hour, then a slow slide into a semi-reclined movie posture. Marcus treated the arm area like a “pseudo-bed” during breaks, and Mia kept rotating between cross-legged and side-leaning positions until she found a corner that didn’t pinch her hips. The big surprise was how easy it was to hold a comfortable curve in my lower back without constantly fidgeting.

Big Sur Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Big Sur is where Marcus disappeared for hours: game on, shoulders down, feet up, heat creeping in slowly as the night got long. I noticed the deeper sit immediately—great for stretching out, but it also nudged me to “commit” to lounging earlier than I usually do. Jamal’s long legs finally looked fully supported, and Mia’s feedback was blunt: she loved the comfort but wanted a less demanding seat depth for day-to-day upright use.

• What we liked

  • Deep-lounge comfort that stays supportive

  • Feels built for long sessions

  • Natural “nap posture” without contorting

• Who it is best for

  • Tall users who want room to sprawl

  • Gamers and binge-watchers who recline early

  • Households that treat the sofa like a landing pad

• Where it falls short

  • Petite users who prefer feet planted

  • People who do lots of upright laptop work

  • Rooms where a large footprint feels tight

Sacramento Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Sacramento was the one I kept choosing when my lower back felt tight: I could sit upright without feeling forced, then relax into a mild recline without losing support. Mia’s test was simple—cross-legged reading and a long phone call—and she reported fewer pressure points than on the deeper Big Sur. Jamal liked how easy it was to stand up and reset after stretching, and Marcus said it was the least “hammocky” when he sat on the edge between gaming rounds.

• What we liked

  • Most natural upright-to-relaxed transition

  • Easy stand-ups and edge use

  • Consistent support across positions

• Who it is best for

  • Back-sensitive sitters who want structure

  • Mixed-use living rooms (work + TV)

  • People who hate fighting a cushion to move

• Where it falls short

  • Hardcore loungers wanting a deep sink

  • Anyone chasing a very low, slouchy vibe

  • Nappers who want a “pit” feel

Not Called Frisco Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Not Called Frisco is the “commit to lounging” option. The low seat height changed how I used it: I naturally slid into a laid-back posture fast, then stayed there longer than planned. Marcus loved the low-and-loungy setup for late-night TV, but he also noticed he had to brace more when standing up quickly. Jamal enjoyed stretching out, yet even he admitted the low profile made frequent up-down cycles feel less effortless.

• What we liked

  • Lounge-first comfort for long nights

  • Easy to sprawl without overthinking posture

  • Relaxed vibe that encourages downtime

• Who it is best for

  • People who recline early and often

  • Rooms built around movies and gaming

  • Tall loungers who want low-profile style

• Where it falls short

  • Anyone with knee/hip issues on stand-ups

  • Shorter users who need feet planted

  • Upright laptop work as a daily habit

Pros & Cons

Details

• Starting price: $4,124

• Overall width: Choose your size

• Frame depth: 37 1/2"; frame height: 24"; overall height: 29 1/2"

Review Score

Compare Performance Scores of These Sofas

Numerically, Venice and Sacramento are the most even: fewer “extreme” traits, fewer fit surprises. Big Sur wins the pure lounge category (seat comfort), but gives some of that back in seat-depth fit. Not Called Frisco is the most polarized: amazing when you want low-slung relaxation, less forgiving when you need frequent upright posture and easy stand-ups.

How to Choose a MadeRight Sofa

Start with fit: if you’re petite or prefer feet planted, prioritize Sacramento or Venice; if you’re tall and want a deep lounge posture, Big Sur is the easiest win. Think about your default night: if you recline early and stay there, Not Called Frisco fits the “low and loungy” lifestyle; if you shift between work, TV, and short naps, Venice is the cleanest all-rounder. For back-sensitive sitters, Sacramento delivered the most dependable upright support.

Limitations

These sofas reward careful fit decisions: seat depth and seat height differences are meaningful, and the wrong combo can turn comfort into constant repositioning. The low seat height on Not Called Frisco can be rough for knee/hip-sensitive users, while Big Sur’s depth can frustrate shorter legs during everyday upright use. The lineup also sits firmly in premium pricing, so the cost of “getting it right” matters more than with mass-market couches.

MadeRight Sofa vs. Alternatives

• Why choose these models

  • Built-for-longevity core materials and strong warranty structure

  • Custom sizing and fit-first approach for real rooms

  • Performance-oriented upholstery options for daily life

• Alternatives to consider

  • Room & Board Metro: a widely proven, mainstream “Goldilocks” sofa

  • Crate & Barrel Lounge Deep: deep-seat lounging with broad configurations

  • West Elm Harmony: plush, deep lounging with a softer, sink-in bias

Pro Tips for MadeRight Sofas

• Measure how you actually sit: feet planted, legs tucked, or fully stretched out, then match that to seat depth and seat height.

• If you’re between sizes, pick based on your “most frequent” activity, not the occasional hosting scenario.

• Treat seat depth like a fit parameter, not a style preference—deep seats change back support mechanics over hours.

• Use fabric swatches in your actual lighting, then re-check at night under TV light before committing.

• Rotate and re-fluff cushions on a routine schedule to even out wear patterns.

• Keep a small throw or lumbar pillow nearby if you alternate between upright work and recline-heavy lounging.

• For low-profile seats, plan a clear stand-up path (coffee table distance matters more than you think).

• If pets are in the mix, keep a washable throw on the “favorite spot” and spot-clean quickly after spills.

• When you move or rearrange, re-test your viewing angles—small layout shifts can change how a sofa feels.
