The sofa is perfect for small spaces, with a two-seater loveseat, three-seater sofa, and three-seater chaise options. It was also designed to be moveable, with an intuitive assembly that makes for just as intuitive disassembly. So, if you move, you'll be able to easily take your sofa with you and not have to worry about navigating doorways or awkward stairs (if only Ross Geller had a Floyd sofa).
"Our furniture is made for how people live today. We know that our customers move from apartment to apartment. They start with us as early as their college days and grow with us as they mature, have families, and move to the suburbs," says Floyd Co-Founder and CEO Kyle Hoff on why the brand is focused on making its furniture easy to ship and simple to move.
In keeping with its mission to create furniture that lasts, Floyd's 10-year warranty backs The Sofa.

- Product: Burrow is best known for its customizable sofas. Each sofa comes in a range of colors and performance fabrics with wood and metal leg finishes and options for arm styles and cushions. You can also add upgrades such as a sleep kit — with everything you need to convert your sofa into a sofa bed — and a moveable chaise.
- Starting price: Loveseats start at $995, 3-seat sofas from $1,395.
- Delivery: Burrow offers an authentic sofa-in-a-box experience. Its modular furniture can be delivered in regular shipping boxes (each box weighs around 40 pounds and fits through just about any door). Once unboxed, assembly is simple and tool-free.
- Shipping fees: Burrow offers free and fast delivery on every single order. Their products are easy to assemble and require few or no tools, so they don't provide white-glove service, in-home delivery, or assembly services.
Reviews: We shipped Burrow's Range 3-Piece Sectional Lounger, 3-Seat Field sofa, and the Nomad sofa to Living Cozy contributors for thorough at-home tests. Check out our Range sofa review here and Nomad sofa review here.
Burrow was founded by Stephen Kuhl and Kabeer Chopra to change how we buy furniture. The duo believes the furniture industry has relied on repetitive product lines, inefficient supply chains, and gimmicky marketing tactics for too long and set out to build clever, comfortable furniture for your life and living room.
Burrow is designed and manufactured in the United States and sells directly to consumers, cutting costly supply chain markups. Its sofa-in-a-box or sectional-in-a-box approach removes over 70% of standard shipping costs. All in all, Burrow says this approach passes on over $600 of savings to consumers.
Watch: Check out our review of the Field 3-Seat sofa and matching ottoman below:
We joke about "thinking inside the box" a bit, but it's an important way we're different. When we designed our first sofa, we used the maximum package size for UPS Ground as our set of constraints — each module had to fit inside that box," a Burrow company spokesperson explained to Living Cozy. "Doing that is challenging, but it unlocks all sorts of other benefits, least of which is being able to offer free, fast, and reliable shipping via UPS, whereas traditional furniture companies often charge over $100 to deliver a couch via special freight services."
"When we designed our first sofa, we used the maximum package size for UPS Ground as our set of constraints — each module had to fit inside that box."
Its couches come in easy-to-assemble pieces and feature a modern design for everyday living, such as inherently scratch and stain-resistant fabrics and a built-in USB charger & 72" power cord. The Nomad sofa also has reversible back cushions and an optional Sleeper Kit to transform your sofa into a sleeper sectional. The modular design means that Burrow furniture can grow and expand with your life.
Burrow's lineup includes the luxurious Union Sofa, which offers deep seating and plush cushions, perfect for lounging. The Union comes in a variety of rich colors and durable fabrics, making it a stylish addition to any home.
For those who love to host, the Range Collection features modular pieces that can be reconfigured to suit any gathering, from intimate movie nights to lively get-togethers.

How to Find the Right Sofa-in-a-Box
If you are looking for a new sofa from the best brands, you no longer need to visit the showroom.
And you don't need to worry about bulky deliveries or taxing assembly processes. Now, you can get the perfect couch delivered right to your doorstep in easy-to-move boxes, and it assembles in just minutes.
The sofa-in-a-box brands listed here take different approaches to solving problems. They offer varying product ranges, shipping policies, and assembly practices (though most require no tools). If you want to simplify your next sofa purchase, you'll be sure to find something you love from one of these brands.
But before you browse the brands and sofas, we've picked out a few things you should consider before clicking purchase.
Price
No matter what type of sofa you're buying, price should always be a key consideration. Most sofa-in-box brands sell pieces in the $1,000-2,000 range. Some brands offer free shipping. Keep your eye out for sales, too, as many sofa-in-a-box brands will run sales around holiday periods.
Customization and Flexibility
Modern sofa brands are known for their customization and flexibility so that you can design the perfect sofa for your living space. Many brands will give you multiple color options and your choice of legs. Some also go the extra mile by letting you choose the arm style, the type of foam used in the cushions, and the sofa configuration.
If you choose a modular sofa, you'll also have additional customization options, such as reversible chaises and the flexibility to adapt your couch as your needs change. If you move frequently or like to rearrange your living room often, a modular sofa could save you a lot of headaches.
Assembly
Getting your sofa delivered in boxes is all about convenience. Once your new sofa arrives, you'll have to build it yourself. This is usually pretty straightforward and not too much hassle, but we'd recommend checking the assembly process before your sofa arrives so you understand what needs to be done. Once it's built, you might need help connecting the sections and getting the couch into the perfect place in your living space.
"When purchasing a sofa online, I think one of your top considerations should be the convenience of unloading and assembling it," adds Stacy Lewis.
Comfort
You should assess the comfort and support level you're looking for before buying a sofa-in-a-box. The cushions on sofas in a box aren't usually oversized, fluffy cushions that envelop you as you sit down. But that doesn't mean they aren't comfortable.
Before buying, always check the type of foam used for cushions, how firm the brand says the cushions are, and what people say in the reviews.
