As small space dwellers, we love a good modular sofa. So what could make a modular sofa even better? How about ones with washable covers and storage beneath every (yes, every) seat? The LINSY HOME modular sofa features just that. With six seats worth of storage, a firm yet cozy feel, and removable covers that make cleaning a breeze, this sofa is guaranteed to transform your space.

This simple, sophisticated sofa from Wayfair may not look like it’s ready to take on whatever your family can throw at it, but it is. The solid hardwood frame is built to last, while the polyester material is naturally resistant to stains. When you do need to wash it, just slip off the cushion covers and toss them into your washing machine. They'll look as good as new — and remain majorly comfy, too. 

One look at Albany Park's Kova sofa and it's easy to see why it's beloved by families and pet owners alike. Plush and cozy, this cloud-like perch is made for snuggling up on during movie nights (something made easier with the Kova Pit configuration). The best part? Every Albany Park sofa is made with durability and practicality in mind, so the brand relies on easy-to-clean fabrics and strong frames that are designed to take the worst your kiddos (or fur babies) can throw at it.

A brilliant find from Castlery, the Tana Chaise Sectional is a fan-favorite for a reason. Its Scandi-chic style (thanks partly to its natural beech wood legs), simple silhouette, and fully washable covers make it a true sight to see. It can also withstand even the most raucous family movie nights.

This Queen-sized sleeper sofa not only features a gel mattress for ultimate comfort, but it also comes in a slew of fabrics that are great for kids and pets alike. (The cushion covers even zip off, should you need to get them professionally cleaned.) The default fabric is heathered tweed, a textured and durable option that is made to last, but if you're willing to spend a little more, you can get performance fabrics and twill.

Article takes quality seriously, and most of their leather options are of the full-aniline variety. This sofa is an exception: It's made from semi-aniline, waxed Italian leather that's super durable yet sumptuous, making it the ideal choice for someone looking for a heartier option. The shorter arms are stylish and sophisticated, and if you don't love tan leather, you can always choose the black version instead.

West Elm is known for its wide range of upholstery choices, including performance fabrics that are made to withstand plenty of traffic. The Eddy sectional is a versatile choice, thanks to its durable frame construction, and it's available in performance basketweave, twill, and even performance velvet if you can't quite give up your dream of a velvet sofa.

Burrow is one of the best furniture brands around, with thoughtfully designed pieces that are built to last and grow with you. Their popular Nomad sofa also comes in a sectional style that's made from naturally scratch- and stain-resistant tight olefin fiber. There are five colors, six leg finishes, and three arm styles to choose from — plus it has a built-in USB charger and a 72-inch power cord.

This sleeper sofa rolls out into a full-size bed for smaller spaces. Choose from several performance fabrics for a luxe feel that'll hold up to high-traffic areas — the Sunbrella options, in particular, are worth checking out. Plus, the sofa is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it meets rigorous chemical emissions standards. It's on the pricier end, but keep an eye out for sales, and remember that this is a piece you'll have for years.

If your family loves lazy Sundays on the couch, you're going to need a comfortable place to lounge that can really hold its own against wrestling matches, Netflix binges, and takeout picnics. Let's just say, it doesn't get any better (or more plush) than this feather-filled sectional from Valyou Furniture. Thanks to a memory foam and fiber blend filling, this sofa will stay sumptuously soft and shapely for years to come. Even better? It's wrapped in a performance fabric that's tough against stains, dirt, and the occasional spilled glass of wine.

Since every piece at Interior Define is fully customizable, it's one of the best places to score a sofa perfectly suited to your needs. The Maxwell sofa, which was designed by our very own founder & CEO Maxwell Ryan, comes in dozens of fabrics, and there's even a "kid & pet-friendly" filter you can use to find the most durable of the bunch. Unlike other retailers with a limited number of colors and types of durable fabrics, Interior Define's choices include velvet, linen, and textured cotton. If you're undecided, you can order up to 10 swatches before you decide.

If 7th Avenue is a new-to-you brand, prepare to be wowed. The brand is all over social media showing off how high-performing their fabrics and furniture are, and the results are honestly impressive. The covers on every sofa are all water-repellent and stain-resistant, allowing them to easily hold their own against juice spills, pet urine, and even a rouge cup of coffee. Even better? The cushion covers are all removable and machine-washable, so you can refresh your perch any time you need.
