Top 5: Best Velvet Sofas to Unwind On
Velvet looks as good as it feels.
Velvet: It's sophisticated, high quality, and surprisingly easy to care for. Velvet has a deep pile, so velvet sofas often look richer and more intense when compared with other fabrics. Its subtle sheen makes it reflect light instead of absorbing it, making it a great choice for any living room, especially dark ones. Velvet doesn't pill, and it is a very hearty material – whether your sofa is a place to unwind or to sprawl out with your pets, be assured that it's durable enough to last for years.
Top 5: Best Velvet Sofas to Unwind On
They're supple, comfortable, and timeless – see why these five sofas made the list of best velvet sofas on-site.
1. Gleason 85" Velvet Sofa
The Gleason Sofa is inspired by comfortable modernism and lives at the crossroads of comfort and good design. One reason it tops our list of best velvet sofas is because the entire sofa is crafted and stitched by hand, making it a true luxury to own. Its clean-lined silhouette, button tufting, and square arms add to the mid-century modern appeal. The back cushions and seats are filled with down, which creates a nice, inviting feeling. The Gleason Sofa will anchor any room it lives in.
The silky velvet and rounded silhouette of the Kaylah Sofa make this piece an instant conversation starter. It's one of the best velvet sofas because it has a retro ʼ70s feel, but the muted shades – amber instead of burnt orange and celestial blue instead of turquoise – keep it from being too over-the-top. This sofa has a lifetime warranty and it's stain- and scratch-resistant. The Kaylah Sofa also boasts a high Martindale rub count at 40,000 rubs, meaning this sofa will live a long life even with heavy use. You'll be able to lounge on it for years to come – with your pets!
For the quintessentially modern sectional sofa, we recommend the Gia Reversible Sectional. It boasts tapered, splayed legs and a classic mid-century modern silhouette. The soft, stain-resistant velvet comes in blue and dark gray and the cushions are removable, which makes cleaning a breeze. One of the Gia Sectional's best features is the ability to reverse the orientation depending on what suits the room best. Simply unscrew the legs, flip the chaise to the opposite side, and screw the legs back in.
Add a touch of vintage glam to the living room with one of the best velvet sofas: the Jayda Sofa. The chesterfield design with its clean lines and tufted detailing gives this sofa a retro-meets-modern look that fits in seamlessly with any aesthetic. The tuxedo arms add a touch of glam while the slender wood legs keep this sofa effortlessly modern and create that classic floating look. This velvet sofa comes in six different colors – from olive green to blush pink. One reviewer even said that they loved this sofa so much they ordered a second one.
In the market for a sectional that you can really sprawl out on? Kick back for a weekend Netflix binge with the Jasper Sectional. Coming in at 119", you can seat up to four people on this sofa. And with the extra-deep seats, you might not want to move for the foreseeable future. The Jasper Sectional comes in three color options: dark gray, light gray, and rust, and either left- or right-facing orientation. Aside from its length and comfiness, this sectional also has removable seat cushions for easy cleaning. And the soft velvet is both stain- and tear-resistant. With its easy setup, simply attach the legs and you'll be lounging on this sectional in no time.
