11 Best Rated Modular Sofas For 2023 (Price, Quality & Style)

I know they say getting married, buying a house and moving are the three biggest stressers in a person’s life, but dang, finding the perfect couch is really hard!

Sofas are where we come together at the end of each day (or er maybe even work from and take meetings sometimes) so comfort is key. But style is also important and so is quality. Furniture can take several months to deliver these days so you have to nail it right on the first try.

I’m currently in the process of shopping for the perfect modular sectional sofa for our new living room and I’m equally impressed and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options available today.

After days and days of research, I’ve made a list of the best modular sofas I could find based on personal IRL experience, customer reviews I’ve read and trusted friends. Let’s find you your perfect modular couch baby!

So What’s A Modular Sofa Anyway?

Sectional, loveseat, modular, three-seaters, 5 seaters… there’s so many sofa terms!! What is a modular sofa exactly? They’re different from standard sectionals because they are made up of many pieces that you can mix and match anyway.

Basically, instead of one solid wood frame like most couches have, a modular sofa is made up of many smaller sections (aka seats) that you can be made into an L, a straight line, or even broken up into parts if you want to put a coffee table in the middle of a huge sofa.

It doesn’t move around, the pieces are connected together to make sure it’s sturdy. Modular sofas are a dream for spaces that are small or homes that require a tricky position to put a couch.

I love shopping Wayfair because they have endless options for your living space, good prices and fast shipping. Darling vegan sectional uses Suede fabric, a High-density sponge to be comfy but not too plush, and Sturdy Metal legs to support anyone. Past customers love to put these in studies or in their small apartments. 

Pros:
  • Affordable
  • Vegan
  • Fast shipping
Cons:
  • Some report it's a little firm for them
Customer Review: "perfect couch for us. when they say firm seats they mean firm (the way i like it so was happy about that) also definitely cat friendly being that she immediately commenced to scratching the legs, arms and body of the couch and you can not see damage due to the style of the material "
