It's about time we rounded up what we'd consider to be the best Article sofas. After all, the brand has been on our radar since it launched online in 2013, and with each collection drop, it's only gotten better, cooler, and more streamlined. So, if you've never heard of the brand, allow us to introduce you: Article is all about modern, simple furniture, so you'll never find anything overly extravagant or ornate here. The prices are mid-range, reflecting the quality of its pieces (one of our editors loves Article's high-quality canopy bed frame). And if you treat your Article pieces well, they'll likely last for years.
We wanted to focus on Article's sofa selections because this is a living room essential. The best couches are often an investment piece, meaning you're willing to shell out more for it than, say, a coffee table, and Article has a great selection of under $1,000, over $2,000 couches, and everything in between. Ahead, you'll find our top four picks, one of which our very own social media editor has and loves. Curious to know which one she recommends? Keep reading to find out. Otherwise, peruse the other options we think House Beautiful readers would appreciate. They're equally stylish and comfy, so you really can't go wrong.
A sleeper sofa is the best way to make the most of your space—no matter how small. For Assistant Social Media Editor Bianca Bonetti, her sleeper from Article came in handy when she moved into her New York City apartment, which, as anyone who's ever visited Manhattan knows, is limited on space.
"Since my move-in date snuck up on me, I was in a hurry to receive a sofa, so I chose an in-stock option from Article, and it was delivered within a week," she says. "I was impressed with the buttery-soft feel of the stain-resistant performance fabric. Although the couch is a lot firmer than I anticipated, it's still very comfortable with or without the ottoman. I'm happy with my decision to get a matching ottoman instead of a sectional because it gives me a lot of flexibility in a small room that's only eight feet wide."
As for the bed part of this piece, Bonetti is impressed. "The sofa bed takes all of 10 seconds to pull out. The memory foam mattress is quite comfortable. I slept on it for the first week I was in my apartment, and it's the perfect solution to turn the den into a guest room when we have company." Additionally, if you're not keen on assembling a sofa yourself, know that Article offers several different delivery options, including in-room plus assembly services. "The delivery team took care of everything when it came to placing it in my den. I didn't need to assemble a thing," she adds.
Anyone who likes to sprawl out across an elongated chaise, this modular sectional is for you. And before you ask, we'll just tell you: It's as comfortable as it looks, courtesy of the pillowy cushions that are filled with a combination of duck feathers, high-density foam, and fiber. What's more, if you decide to get this sofa in silver ivory (pictured), you don't have to worry about stains because the fabric is performance-grade. The sofa is also completely modular, so you can arrange it in up to three configurations to suit your lifestyle and your space. Get it in any size you like; there are tons (read: eight) options to choose from.
A sofa does not have to be enormous to be cozy. Take, for instance, this midcentury-inspired loveseat that comes in both fabric and leather upholstery. Full disclosure: Unlike some of the other upholstery options on our list, this one is not performance-grade, so maybe skip wine nights on the sofa. That said, Article performed an abrasion resistance test to make sure the fabrics are extremely soft. How, you may ask, does Article test for softness? By rigorously subjecting them to up to 50,000 rubs, which, the brand says, exceeds the industry standard of 20,000 rubs. One reviewer wrote, "My husband and I love this olive green couch. It's sturdy yet comfortable and the smaller size is just right for our room. Style, price, and quality-wise it is a complete win!"
Last but definitely not least, we couldn't not include a classic bouclé sofa that boasts the nubby, cozy texture we, and seemingly everyone, loves. It's also perfectly on trend with its softly curved seat and back in the style of the one and only German-American designer Vladimir Kagan's Serpentine sofa. Of course, unlike the Serpentine, this one won't cost you thousands upon thousands. If you want to add a touch more bouclé into your living area, be sure to snag the matching ottoman.
As for what other shoppers are saying about this piece, one person wrote: "Worth the wait! I love everything about this sofa. The color, the shape, the size, the comfort level. I’m spending so much more time in my living room now that I have a sofa that’s great for lounging on!" Another reviewer said: "This sofa is beautiful and offers more seat space than I expected. Finishing is lovely, and the sofa is very comfortable. So pleased with my purchase."
