Sundays Get Together Sofa Review: A Month of Daily Use
Updated
August 5, 2026
Four weeks, one coffee disaster, and a dumbbell I probably shouldn't have left on the cushion.

Product Tester
I picked Clay off a swatch card in my kitchen, held it up against the wall, and committed $4,000 to a sofa I had never sat on. That's the part nobody warns you about. You can read every spec sheet Sundays publishes and still be guessing about the only thing that matters, which is what it'll feel like at 10pm on a Wednesday when you've had a day.
It arrived on June 23. I've been on it most of the day, most days, ever since (I work from home, and I nap with a commitment I'd call professional).
Here's what I'll say up front: my first reaction was not the one I expected, and it took about a month to change my mind.
Sundays sent me this sofa free of charge to test. They had no say in this review, and nobody at Sundays read it before you did.
It gets better. Firm on arrival, noticeably softer four weeks later, and still holding me up.
The covers come off and go in the machine. A dried coffee stain washed out completely, no shrinking.
Ten minutes, door to done. Three boxes, an elevator, a dolly, and free assembly if you want it.
The modules haven't budged. Metal connectors, rubber pads under the oak legs, parquet floors. Not one gap.
Clay looks like the photos. Which I did not take for granted, having ordered fabric online before.
Not so cozy
The cushions rustle. Soft and papery, every time you shift. You'll notice it during a quiet film.
You can feel the seams lying down. Three modules, three separate surfaces, no matter how well they lock.
Clay shows hair. I'm brunette and I can see mine from across the room. Dust it hides beautifully.
Changing your mind costs $150. Thirty-day window, flat fee, no free returns.
Is the Sundays Get Together comfortable?
I sat down on the evening it arrived, expecting to sink, and didn't.
It's firm. Not hard, not unfriendly, but firm in a way that made me sit up and think about it. If you're coming off a sofa that's spent five years slowly giving up, that first sit reads as a small betrayal. Where's the give? I bought a cloud and got a bench.
I'll admit I was a little disappointed. I'm telling you that because a month later it's the thing I'd most want a nervous buyer to hear.
Does the Get Together soften over time?
Somewhere in the first few weeks, the cushions eased off. I can't tell you when. There was no morning where I sat down and thought "oh, there it is" (which is a shame, because that would make a much better story). It's more that one day in late July I realised I hadn't thought about the firmness in a fortnight.
What it does now is hold me up without pushing back. I've fallen asleep on it for three hours and got up without anything complaining. And the shape hasn't gone anywhere. That's the part that matters at this price, and it's down to what's underneath: a feather-fibre blend wrapped around a high-density foam core, sitting on eight-way hand-tied springs rather than webbing. Sofas built that way start firm on purpose. Cheap ones do the opposite. They're wonderful in the showroom and they've quit on you by month four.
I bought a cloud and got a bench. Four weeks later I'd stopped noticing, and I'd stopped wanting the cloud.
One honest tell: when I'm sitting properly upright, scrolling or watching something, I put a throw cushion behind my back. The seat's 26.5 inches deep, which is lovely for lounging and slightly too generous for perching. My husband does the same thing when he brings his laptop over from his desk, and neither of us has ever mentioned it out loud until now.
Is the Sundays Get Together stain resistant?
Week two. Full mug, dropped on the left seat cushion, and the specific silence that follows.
Here's what actually happened: most of it just sat there. It beaded on the surface long enough for me to get a cloth from the kitchen and come back, which is not nothing when the alternative is watching it sink in. I wiped it up with a damp cloth and water and thought I'd got away with it.
I hadn't, quite. Once it dried there was a pale ghost of it, the kind you'd only see if you knew. So I unzipped the cover, put it through a cold delicate cycle, hung it up overnight, and put it back on the next afternoon.
Completely gone. And I genuinely can't tell you now which cushion it was.
This zip is the whole feature. It turned a permanent stain into a load of laundry.
Worth being precise about what that means, because "stain resistant" gets used very loosely. It doesn't mean spill-proof. It means you get a couple of minutes instead of no minutes. Miss that window and you're not scrubbing a ruined cushion, you're doing laundry (follow the label, though: cold, delicate, hang dry. A tumble dryer will damage the cover and void the warranty).
Do the Get Together's cushions sag?
This one was my idea, and I'm not sure Sundays would have approved.
I wanted to know whether the seat would hold or bowl, so I set an adjustable dumbbell down on one cushion and left it there. A soft cushion lets a concentrated weight drop straight through and pulls the whole seat into a dish around it. That's the sag you can see coming from year one.
The dip stays directly under the weight. Either side of it, the seat barely moves.
It dipped where the weight was. Either side of it, nothing. The give was local rather than structural, which is exactly what a sprung deck is supposed to do and exactly what a cheap one doesn't.
How the Get Together held up after a month
Short list, because there isn't much:
Pilling: none.
Fading: none, and it sits beside a window.
Smell on arrival: none, which surprised me for something that shipped in a box.
Loose threads or zips: none.
Visible wear: a slight flattening in one corner.
That last one only shows at all because the seat beside it never gets used. The only wear on this sofa is shaped exactly like me.
Sundays delivery and assembly: what to expect
Sundays sent its own crew rather than a freight company, which turns out to matter more than the spec sheet does when you live in an apartment.
Two people, one dolly, the truck parked outside, three flat boxes up in the elevator. Ten minutes, start to finish. Free assembly was included and I turned it down on purpose so I could tell you what building it's like: my husband and I had it together with no swearing, which is a first. The modules join with metal connectors that snap and stay snapped.
Three boxes, one dolly, ten minutes. That's the entire sofa.
Six weeks on they're still together. Sections drifting apart is the complaint I hear most about modular seating and I've never once had to shove mine back into line. My floors are parquet. Each stubby oak leg has a rubber pad on the base, and a 114-inch sofa hasn't slid an inch or marked the wood.
The legs go on by hand. That grey disc is why a 114-inch sofa stays put on parquet.
How big is the Get Together in a real living room?
My walls are a warm off-white, and Clay is a warm light greige that sits against them without arguing. In daylight it's very close to the website photos, which I did not expect and am still slightly smug about.
At 114 inches it's not a sofa that hides. In a big room it settles; in a small one it would take the whole thing over. The first person to visit after it landed sat down, looked around, and said it was comfortable and surprisingly spacious, which is a nicer sentence than anything I'd have come up with.
The Sundays Get Together's downsides
The rustle. There's a soft, papery sound from the feather-fibre fill whenever someone shifts. It's not the frame (down-blend cushions rustle, wooden frames creak, and those two noises mean very different things). It's quiet. It's also real, and if silence matters to you it'll find you during a film.
Cushion off. Feather-fibre blend over a high-density foam core, on a sprung deck rather than webbing.
The seams. Lying across the full length, you can feel where the three modules meet. It doesn't read as one continuous surface. No modular sofa I've tried does, but I'd rather you hear it from me than discover it on night one.
The hair. This one's about Clay rather than about the sofa, so weigh it accordingly. I'm brunette, and this fabric shows my hair from across the room. Dust it hides remarkably well. Hair, not at all. A darker colourway would make the problem disappear entirely. I've got no kids and no pets either, so I can't tell you how it copes with a toddler or a shedding retriever, but I'd point anyone in that position away from the pale end of the swatch card.
Sundays calls this fabric LiveLife, which is their own name for the performance weave used across the range: cotton, linen and viscose over a polyester base, finished with a PFAS-free stain repellent and rated to 50,000 double rubs.
Price, warranty and what a return actually costs
The standard three-piece is $4,000. Delivery and in-home assembly are included, and Sundays backs the frame with a limited five-year warranty.
Returns run 30 days and they are not free. Because mine came by in-home delivery, sending it back would be a flat $150. That's a number I'd want in my head before ordering rather than after, and it's the sort of thing brands are quiet about.
One thing I'd do differently. If I were ordering again I'd buy this sofa plus one more module, because what I actually want is somewhere to stretch my legs out. Three modules is the floor here, not the ceiling, and that decision is a great deal easier to make before delivery day.
Who should buy the Sundays Get Together?
If you're in an apartment, this is an easy yes. The elevator, the boxes, the self-assembly all went better than I had any right to expect from a 114-inch sofa. If your current sofa has been swallowing you for years and you've had enough, this one will feel like an argument you're glad to lose. And if food happens on your sofa, covers that unzip and wash are worth more than any fabric rating on the page.
Skip it if you want to sink. I rate comfort 8 out of 10 and both missing points are mine, not the sofa's. I like something softer than this, and if you do too, Albany Park is where I'd send you first. Skip the light fabric if you've got small children. And if that rustle sounds like something that would live in your head, a foam-only cushion won't do it. Burrow builds its seating that way.
About
Sundays
Sundays started in Vancouver in 2019, founded by four friends with young families and long careers in retail and design. The collection is deliberately small — a handful of pieces meant to work together instead of a catalogue to sift through — and delivery is free on everything. The Get Together is the everyday sofa in that line-up.
No items found.
No items found.
What shows up again and again in how Sundays builds is a refusal to make you choose between a sofa that looks good and a sofa you can actually live on. The range is deliberately small, every cover comes off and goes in the machine, and the frame is built to outlast the fabric on it. That is a quietly unfashionable position in a category that mostly sells replacement cycles. Delivery, assembly and packaging removal are included on everything rather than sold back to you at checkout.
Six weeks in, it's stopped being a purchase and started being the room. That's the whole test, really. You don't notice good furniture after a while, you just live on it.
It starts firm and gets better. It shrugs off most of what you spill and washes off the rest. It went together without a fight and it's stayed together since. The catches are small and real and I'd take all three again.
So: 8.5 out of 10, and it's still in my living room long after anyone was checking.
I've been living with the Get Together in my Vancouver apartment since June 23, 2026. Sundays provided the sofa free of charge and had no say in what I've written here. Every photo is mine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it actually comfortable, or just firm?
Both, in that order. Day one I thought I'd bought a bench. Four weeks later I'd stopped noticing, and I'd stopped wanting the softer sofa I thought I wanted. If you like sinking in, though, you won't be converted by week four. You'll just be sitting on a firm sofa.
Do the modules drift apart?
Mine haven't, not once in six weeks, and I went looking. The sections snap together with metal connectors and the oak legs have rubber pads that keep the whole thing from sliding on parquet. If you've been burned by a modular sofa creeping apart, this is the bit I'd have wanted to know.
What actually happens when you spill something?
You get a couple of minutes, not immunity. My coffee beaded long enough for me to fetch a cloth, and wiping it up still left a faint ghost once it dried. The cover came off, went through a cold delicate cycle, and came back with nothing on it. Cold water and hang dry only, though. A tumble dryer will wreck the cover and void the warranty.
Can I get it up a flight of stairs?
It arrives as three flat boxes, so almost certainly yes. Two people brought mine up in an elevator on a dolly in about ten minutes. Assembly is included free if you want it, and I turned it down purely so I could tell you it took my husband and me one attempt and no swearing.
Is it worth $4,000?
For what I've seen so far, yes, and I say that as someone who winced at the number. What you're buying is a sprung deck that hasn't dished under a dumbbell, cushions that have kept their shape, covers that survive real life, and a five-year frame warranty. What a month can't tell you is how any of that looks in year three. I'll come back and update this as I keep living with it.
What would you change?
I'd order one more module. Three is enough sofa, but I want somewhere to put my legs up, and that's a much easier decision to make before delivery than after.
