We actually tested the 4-seater model and ottoman out in August 2024 and found it spacious, supportive and very comfortable.

Our writer, Jessica G. Lynch put it through its paces and was left overly impressed. “It comfortably seats all your guests for pre-dinner drinks and there’s no stress about potential spillage with the removable cushion covers,” she concluded. “Movie nights are also spacious and no one is fighting over the ‘comfy spot’ when every spot is comfy and you can have three people with their feet up on the couch and ottoman without even touching each other.”
