3 Of The Best-Selling Couches At West Elm

Couches are significant purchases, both in terms of importance and price. It's the centerpiece of your living room, setting the stage for the rest of your furniture and décor to come. They're also one of the more costly pieces of furniture in your home, so you want to make sure you make the right choice.

There are lots of factors that go into buying the right couch for your lifestyle and tastes, including the size, material (leather, fabric, velvet, etc.), shape (L-shaped, sectional, or regular), and most importantly, design. While having a couch that is functional and blends well into your space and lifestyle is incredibly important, so is having one that fits your design preferences and tastes. West Elm specializes in modern adaptations of mid-century silhouettes and design themes that are classic and adaptable, and it has plenty of couches in its catalog for varying wants and needs.

One of West Elm's best-selling couches is its Harmony sofa, which costs anywhere from $1,599 to $2,699. The price range is due to its wide array of options and customizations, including width, depth, fabric material, and color. The couch itself is handmade and is described as being very soft and plush. The legs are also removable.

The first customizable option is the width, which comes in either 76 inches, 82 inches, 92 inches, or 104 inches. Next is the depth, which comes in the standard 41-inch size, as well as a petite option at 36 inches or extra deep at 47 inches. Their only quick-ship fabric option is distressed velvet in the color dune, but they offer distressed, deluxe, and performance velvet, as well as various flat woven fabrics like linen, canvas, and twill, and textured fabrics like chenille tweed, basket slub, deco weave, chunky boucle, and more in various colors. These fabrics take five weeks or more to ship. The cushions are removable with zip-off slips, and the couch comes with throw pillows and lumbar pillows, except for the petite depth option.

Another best-selling couch option from West Elm is the Haven 2-piece bumper chaise sectional, which costs anywhere from $3,298 to $4,298. This is another highly customizable couch, having chaise configuration options, as well as width, cushion design, and of course, fabric material and color options.

This sectional is also handmade. The cushions are removable, have zip-off covers, and are slightly firmer than the previous couch. The legs are hidden by the design, but they're still removable. The first customization is the configuration of the chaise — left or right. Next is the width, either 106 inches or 113 inches. The regular seats are 32 inches deep, and the chaise is 80 inches deep. You can also choose between two cushion styles — either a classic, multi-seat style with two separate cushions or one long, connected bench cushion. The same range of fabric materials and colors are available for this sofa, too, including flat-weaved linens, twill, and canvas, textured chenille tweed, basket slub, chunky boucle, and deco weave, and a variety of velvets.

For those who prefer leather sofas, another West Elm best-selling couch is the Hamilton leather sofa. It ranges in price from $1,839 to $2,799 and is also customizable, though not as much as the other two previous couches. It comes in three width options — 70 inches, 81 inches, or 91 inches.

The leather colors and types are also customizable. The quick-ship option is Charme leather in the color burnt sienna, but there are other colors of Charme leather, as well as Chalk leather, Columbus leather, Ludlow leather, Outback leather, and Oxford leather. There are also three swatches of vegan leather available in molasses, saddle, or snow. It's medium firm and soft, ranked perfectly in the middle of West Elm's plushness scale. The cushions are made from a blend of poly fiber and duck feathers, but the vegan leather options are only filled with poly fiber. The legs are removable, and the couch is handmade.
