Lovesac vs DreamSofa: Who Has Better Couches?

Lovesac’s Sactionals are modern, functional, expandable, and great for families. So what are the downsides?

As stated earlier, in a Lovesac fabric comparison, Lovesac offers 100+ fabric cover styles for their couches, but only the 30 quick ship options qualify for the Lovesac 60 day return policy. When the Lovesac fabric covers are half the total cost of the Sactional, this can be an expensive discovery.

Speaking of price, Sactionals are not exactly cheap. An average configuration can run you $5,000+. Choosing a bigger configuration can result in an even bigger bill.

Yes, delivery is free, but there’s no white glove Lovesac assembly option. And Lovesac assembly can be far more challenging and exhausting than advertised. Make sure you stretch first!

But don’t worry, Lovesac also has plenty of wins in the pro column. Sactionals are tremendous couches for families and pets. Almost all fabric covers are machine washable. Some are even reversible! They also offer unique fabrics with patterns and colors you won’t find anywhere else.

Sactionals are amazingly customizable, too. You can choose arm styles, back styles, and down cushion fill. You can even add surround sound systems and phone chargers right inside the couch. There are also multiple ways to configure your setup so you can find fun ways to shake things up.

Plus, you can visit one of their many showrooms to test out the Sactional in person.

DreamSofa is one of those brands that manages to do something rare in the furniture space: they give you both control and quality. Whether you're shopping for a sectional sleeper or a snug loveseat, you're not picking from a dusty template. You're designing your dream couch, right down to the inch.

That said, true customization comes with tradeoffs. If you tweak the size or request special features, the return policy becomes final sale. It's a fair industry norm, but it does limit flexibility for buyers who want a little wiggle room. And while standard delivery is free, White Glove setup costs $149. If you’ve got more than two flights of stairs, there’s an extra charge for that, too.

Still, there’s a lot to love here. DreamSofa delivers fast. For a made-to-order brand, their 3 to 5 week timeline beats most competitors. Everything is built in Los Angeles, not overseas, which helps speed things up without sacrificing quality. The DreamVision™ 3D Configurator and AR Studio let you preview how each piece might look and fit in your space—something more brands should offer.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a custom sofa from scratch without waiting three months or blowing your budget, DreamSofa might just be your new favorite find.
