The “So Comfy” Sofa I Recommend to Everyone Just Got an Upgrade That Makes It 10x Better (Bonus: It’s on Sale!)

In my years at Apartment Therapy, I’ve gotten to know quite a few furniture brands. One that was an immediate standout was Albany Park, and its Kova Sofa has not only taken up residence in my home but a few of my relatives, too. Even better, through March 16, you can score 40% off Albany Park’s customizable Kova Collection during the Spring Refresh Sale.

The Kova Sofa has a cozy, deep-seated silhouette and plush cushions that were made for long stretches of relaxation. Not to mention it comes in a wide range of fabrics and colors as well as your choice of pillow or box cushions. As someone with pets, the velvet has been a lifesaver in keeping my sofa fur-free, but it’s also available in linen, basketweave, twill, and bouclé.

The Kova Sofa makes up Albany Park’s modular collection of living room furniture, which includes a variety of configurations for large and small spaces. Originally designed with pillow-shaped cushions, the newest version of the Kova features elegantly tailored box cushions for a refined touch. Both cushion styles are available to order when customizing your Kova Sofa, so you’re free to choose the best for your lifestyle.

Made in the USA, the Kova Box Cushion Sofa offers a supportive and soft feel that’s firmer than a pillow but cushy enough for everyday lounging. Like their pillowy counterparts, the durable box cushions are filled with hypoallergenic, vegan materials. They’re also equipped with anti-slip backing to prevent shifting no matter how you like to sit (or plop) down on the sofa. The back cushions, now sporting a complementary box shape, are also conveniently reversible.

Because the Kova is modular, the sofa can be put together in less than an hour. From experience, the 86-inch version took me half an hour alone and I imagine the process would be even faster with help. Each piece of the sofa base locks together, and the square ottoman — available with or without a storage compartment — can be placed on whichever side you prefer. Its build features a contact-grade, solid wood frame and foam-topped suspension that ensures its durability. Available in kid- and pet-friendly fabrics as well as a variety of colors and textures, the Kova Sofa is made-to-order, ships in under two weeks, and comes with a lifetime warranty. 

The Kova Box Cushion Sofa is the perfect example of a small change making a huge difference. With the pillow cushions, I already thought the sectional was stylish and fun, but the box cushions give it a super chic upgrade. So, if you’re in the position of choosing one or the other for your own home, it really just comes down to the vibe you’d prefer for your space.

The box cushions have a cozy plushness and bounce back into shape with ease. They have a moderate level of firmness and a satisfying squishiness, so I feel like I’m sinking into the cushions like a cloud, but these “clouds” hold their boxy form. It’s not an exaggeration when I say I could lounge on this sofa all day. What’s even better is that I can tell that the box cushion version of the Kova maintains the high quality of Albany Park’s furniture. Speaking from experience, the Kova holds up for years — I’m three years in and counting! — and with even more color and fabric options available today, you can truly tailor it to your desired aesthetic.

Trust me when I say that this modern sofa adds a classic touch of sophisticated style to your home. Plus, it was the perfect furniture upgrade for me after months of visits from family and friends that caused my pillow cushion covers to need a run through the laundry cycle. If you’ve been considering a new sofa from Albany Park, now couldn’t be a better time to take the leap — 40% off is a steal!
