Floyd vs Mario Capasa: Who Has Better Couches?

The first thing you’ll notice about Floyd is how special and stylish their sofas are. And that really is the company’s main draw. They also have one of the most unique and eye-catching fabric collections we’ve ever seen. Some fabrics are recycled cotton. Others have multi-colored cross-weaves. Some are made from Norwegian and New Zealand wool. Fancy! Their signature sofa (aptly named “The Sofa”) has an industrial, reclaimed look to it. Everything about Floyd’s design sensibility is simply cool.

Floyd does provide a 1 year warranty on their craftsmanship. Customers can also purchase an extended warranty through Mulberry that provides coverage for any type of accident or damage.

Although Floyd does not offer white glove delivery options, only The Sofa requires any assembly. And even then, it’s rather simple and straightforward. You won’t have a marital crisis trying to assemble it.

But there are certainly downsides to Floyd. They have unexpectedly long lead times for their limited offering. It can often take 6-10 weeks before a couch ships out. Shipping also costs 12% of your order total (max $299).

The material quality for the price is OK if you’re buying a smaller couch. But you can easily spend $3,000+ on a Floyd couch. At that price point we’d like to see higher quality cushion fill and sturdier frames.

Mario Capasa has carved a niche as a modern furniture brand that mixes speed with style. Buyers love how quickly they can get a new sofa delivered — often in under 10 days — without the drawn-out wait times that plague much of the industry. Their modular couches arrive in manageable boxes, making assembly refreshingly easy.

That said, a few caveats come with the package. The default one-year warranty feels modest when compared to brands that offer longer coverage out of the box. White glove delivery isn’t offered directly, so customers must handle setup themselves, though the lightweight, modular design softens that drawback. And while customization exists in collections like Feathers 2.0, it’s not as expansive as fully bespoke brands.

Still, there’s a lot to appreciate. The use of OEKO-TEX certified fabrics and washable covers makes these sofas practical for families and pet owners. Financing options through Shop Pay Installments also make higher-ticket items easier to budget. Pair that with a wide range of price points — from accessible entry pieces to luxury sectionals — and it’s clear Mario Capasa wants to be a brand for everyone.

At the end of the day, Mario Capasa sofas balance durability, design, and delivery speed in a way that makes them stand out. For shoppers seeking style without endless delays, this brand delivers both literally and figuratively.
