Simpli Home Sofa Reviews (2026)

Simpli Home’s current sofa lineup leans into modern, boxy silhouettes with deep seats, mix-and-match upholstery, and “set-it-and-live-on-it” construction that targets mid-to-upper midrange budgets. Across four mainstream models, we focused on seat comfort, back support, depth fit, breathability, durability, cleaning, and overall day-to-day practicality. The biggest wins were generous cushioning and sturdy frames; the main trade-offs were heat retention on leather and depth that won’t suit every body type.

Product overview

Testing team takeaways

We leaned on nightly TV sessions, long laptop stints, and “real-life” couple lounging to separate comfort from convenience. Marcus pushed heat and edge support during gaming marathons; Jenna and Ethan stress-tested motion transfer and how easy it is to reposition without getting stuck. The quick summary: Livingston felt the most universally comfortable; Morrison was the plush lounge pick; Richard stayed easiest to sit upright for hours; Rex dominated for sheer space but demanded the right body fit, especially on seat height and depth.

How we tested it

We rotated each sofa through the same weekly routine: quick assembly and repositioning checks, long movie nights to spot sliding and back fatigue, and laptop sessions to see how posture holds. We scored Assembly, Cooling, Comfort, Durability, Layout Practicality, Cleaning, and Value; within Comfort we tracked seat comfort, back support, and seat-depth fit, and within Layout Practicality we tracked how easily you can reposition and get up smoothly.

Simpli Home Sofa: our testing experience

Morrison Sofa

Our Testing Experience

I sank into the Morrison and immediately felt that “bench cushion + feather wrap” plushness—like it wants you to stay for one more episode. Marcus ran a long gaming session and called out how sturdy the front edge felt when he leaned forward, but he also noted the leather warmth building over time. Jenna and Ethan tested side-by-side lounging; the cushion stayed supportive, but the deep seat made Jenna scoot forward for better knee comfort.

• What we liked

  • Soft, supportive bench feel that doesn’t collapse quickly

  • Strong under-seat support with webbing and springs

  • Easy leg-and-center support setup

• Who it is best for

  • People who like deep lounging and a leather look

  • Larger frames that want more thigh support

• Where it falls short

  • Petite sitters who prefer feet planted without a pillow

  • Anyone who runs hot during long sits

Livingston Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Livingston felt like the “default choice” in the best way: I could sit upright with my laptop, then slide into a relaxed recline without fighting the cushions. Marcus appreciated the supportive edge when he stood up quickly, and he didn’t overheat as fast as he did on leather. Jenna and Ethan did a full movie night with constant repositioning; the cushions bounced back well, and the zip-off covers gave everyone peace of mind for snack spills.

Richard Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Richard was the one I kept coming back to when my lower back felt tight after desk work: I could sit upright and still feel supported without sliding forward. Marcus tested edge support and quick stand-ups; the frame felt steady and didn’t flex in a worrying way. Jenna and Ethan ran their “constant moving” routine; motion transfer was noticeable but not disruptive, and the seat depth stayed manageable for Jenna without needing extra pillows.

• What we liked

  • Manageable depth for feet-on-floor sitting

  • Cushions with zip-off covers for maintenance

  • Solid frame feel under weight shifts

• Who it is best for

  • Upright sitters who still lounge occasionally

  • Couples who want a steadier, less “sink-in” feel

• Where it falls short

  • People who want a taller, more pillow-like back

  • Hot sleepers who camp out on the sofa

Rex Sofa

Our Testing Experience

Rex is the “take over the room” sofa: I sat down and immediately noticed the low seat height and the extra-wide arms that work like side tables. Marcus tested the frame under full-body flops and edge sits; it stayed stable, but the low seat made stand-ups more work. Jenna and Ethan did their motion test—Ethan sliding, leaning, and getting up for snacks—and the modular layout stayed aligned, though the deep seat made Jenna perch forward unless she fully committed to lounging.

• What we liked

  • Massive seating span and deep lounge feel

  • Wide arms for devices and snacks

  • Modular setup that stayed aligned in use

• Who it is best for

  • People who sprawl, nap, and host often

  • Larger rooms that can handle a 122" footprint

• Where it falls short

  • Anyone who prefers a higher seat for easy stand-ups

  • Petite sitters who want a shallower, upright perch

Pros & Cons

Details

• Price: $2,279

• Overall dimensions: 122" W x 38" D x 27" H

• Seat depth: 25.59"

• Seat height: 15.98"

Review Score

Compare performance scores across these sofas

The numbers tell a clean story: Livingston is the most even performer, with the fewest “fit traps.” Richard stands out for posture-friendly back support and durability, while Morrison wins on plush lounge feel but loses points on depth fit and warmth. Rex is the size-and-sprawl specialist—strong durability and comfort, but the low, deep seat makes it more selective.

How to choose the Simpli Home Sofa?

Start with seat depth and seat height: if you want feet planted and upright posture, Richard or Livingston fit best; if you lounge and stretch out nightly, Morrison or Rex make more sense. For couples who move a lot, Livingston felt the easiest to share without constant readjusting. For a big-room hangout sofa, Rex is the obvious pick—just be honest about whether a low, deep seat is comfortable for daily stand-ups.

Limitations

Across the lineup, the key trade-offs are heat retention on leather, cushion fluffing for loose-back designs, and seat depths that skew toward lounging. Morrison and Rex are poor matches for petite sitters who dislike pillows behind the back. Richard’s lower back height can feel less supportive for head-leaning loungers. Livingston is the safest all-around pick, but it won’t satisfy buyers who want a very firm, upright seat.

Simpli Home Sofa vs alternatives

  • Strong support builds with webbing and spring systems

  • Practical cushion designs (including zip-off covers on select models)

  • IKEA KIVIK: budget-friendly deep lounging with widely available replacement covers

  • Article Sven: mid-century styling focus with a tighter footprint for smaller rooms

Pro tips for Simpli Home Sofa

• If you’re between sizes, pick based on seat depth first, not overall width; depth is what decides whether you perch or lounge.

• For deep seats (Morrison, Rex), keep a lumbar pillow nearby so upright sitting stays comfortable.

• Rotate and fluff loose cushions weekly to keep support consistent.

• For leather models, keep them out of direct sun and avoid placing heat sources nearby to reduce drying and fading.

• Use a throw or washable topper during snack-heavy movie nights to reduce day-to-day cleaning load.

• In shared lounging, test “re-entry comfort”: stand up for two minutes, sit back down, and see how quickly the cushion feel returns.

• For low-seat designs (Rex), add a firm ottoman or footrest to reduce knee angle strain during long sessions.

• Measure your doorway and turn radius before delivery; long frames and modular pieces can surprise you.

• If you’re sensitive to warmth, prioritize woven-blend fabric over leather for long, still sitting sessions.
