Even before the pandemic hit earlier this year, I found myself shopping for furniture less and less in stores. With an abundance of choices online that have customer reviews and beautifully styled imagery, this suddenly seems like a better way to shop. Of course testing a sofa's comfort in-store is something that's irreplaceable, but that's why many of these sites offer easy and free returns. I personally found this as a better option when I was looking for a new sofa [1]. Browsing sites is easier than driving from store to store.
While there are a ton of places to look for couches online, including major department stores, I kept finding myself wanting to shop direct-to-consumer brands [2]. These smaller companies often times have a mission I can get behind, or they've come up with a cool concept that they've studied and perfected. If you're in the market for a new choice and aren't sure where to start, here's where I come in. Ahead, I curated a list of a few of the best finds I came across on my shopping journey that are worth a look. Keep reading to shop them all.
