We love a good button-tufted sofa. Combine those details with modern English armrests, and we're sold! The Batholo Sofa by Alcott Hill is the best of both worlds, mixing both old-fashioned styles with a sleek welt trim and combination caster/tapered legs for a truly unique update to the English arm roll sofa.

The five-star reviews of the Jenner sofa speak for themselves, and one thing is very clear: This is one comfortable sofa. With a premium spring system that provides a deeper and more comfortable seat and "Wow Seating" cushions that offer the right amount of softness and sink, this solid-wood-framed sofa is a pillowy dream.

Pottery Barn
$1199.00

Pottery Barn's Sanford sofa comes in three widths, the smallest of which looks almost more like a loveseat. What really impressed us, though, is the sofa's high back and ultra-plush cushions. Suffice to say, once you have a seat, you'll never want to leave. Want to spice up your living room seating even more? Grab the Sanford in a unique upholstery color such as this burnt orange, which is literally called spice.

Williams Sonoma
$3495.00

There's something incredibly timeless about the look of a crisp, white sofa. Handcrafted in the USA, the Bedford sofa features an eco-friendly cushion core, down cushions, and turned front legs set on a pair of stylish casters. And if white's not your speed, don't worry; it comes in a variety of colors in a selection of fabrics and premium leathers.

A little classic and a little rock n' roll, this Kelly Clarkson Home pick is everything we want in a modern English arm roll sofa. With recessed arms, piped cushioning, and gorgeous nailhead trim, this sofa really does hit the, ahem, nail on the head. And at 79" wide, it's neither too wide nor too tight for the average-sized living room.

Raymour & Flanigan
$1349.95
was $1499.95

Raymour & Flanigan is the place to go for traditional-style seating, and their roll arm sofa selection does not disappoint. Of all their online picks, we were most taken with the Tifton sofa, which is available in either light brown or dark blue upholstery. One small but eye-catching detail that sets this couch apart are its three front-facing bun feet. Those, combined with the sofa's curved lines, make it an old-world masterpiece.

Pottery Barn
$2279.00
was $2849.00

If your budget has a little more wiggle room, the Carlisle Sofa is another customizable pick that we adore from Pottery Barn. Coming in three width sizes and an array of colors and fabrics, this sofa is as classic as it comes. One of our favorite features? You can select multi-cushion or bench seating for a look that's all your own.

One Kings Lane
$7245.00

For those in the market for a sectional, we loved this pick from One Kings Lane. Perched on exposed wood legs (in a gorgeous chestnut finish), this velvet sofa is made with extreme comfort in mind. The back cushions are filled with a feather/down blend, while the seat cushions remain sturdy and supportive thanks to individually pocketed coils encased in foam (which are then wrapped in that same feather/down blend).
