Mar 26 2024 - 3:50pm

When it comes to buying new furniture [1], the most difficult task is figuring out where to shop. Fortunately, we know sofas, and one of the retailers we can always rely on is West Elm. The brand has tons of cool pieces that are customer favorites, and it's not hard to see why. West Elm offers quality, durability, and, of course, style. Right now, the brand has plenty of styles and fabric options on sale too, so you can get a high-quality couch with a markdown.

From modular styles and large sectionals to sleeper sofas and leather couches, West Elm's furniture offerings [2] are truly unmatched and designed to fit within any home. To make shopping the brand's top choices as seamless as possible, we scoured its site and curated a list of the best sofas that West Elm has to offer, including ones on sale, so all you have to do is consider your personal needs.

Which Sofa Should You Buy From West Elm?

There are a few things to know before you go ahead and make your selection. Be sure to measure your space so you can determine if you need a larger sectional [3] or a more space-saving [4] choice for a smaller room. Style also plays a key role; you can decide whether you want a more minimal, cloud-like [5] look or maybe a classic, midcentury-modern design. These choices can involve the material, too. West Elm offers its pieces in a number of customizable fabrics and shades, so you can get your dream aesthetic. If you have kids or are a pet owner [6], we suggest something more durable and easy to clean, like polyester. If you want a statement piece, then you can go with a stunning chenille or leather option [7].

Whether you want a sleeper sofa with storage space or even a cool recliner [8], we break down all of the best sofas you can shop at West Elm ahead. (There's even one selection under $1,000!)
