The “Unbelievably Comfortable” Slipcover Sectional That Basically Everyone Asks Her About

Every home has that one thing that guests can’t stop asking about. It could be an unexpected storage trick or a thrifted find that completes your space. However, in this Los Angeles house, the most-frequently-asked-about item is an expansive and gorgeous sectional that not only looks good, but has also stood up to years of family (and pet) wear-and-tear while looking brand-new.

“Almost everyone who walks through the door asks where it’s from. It’s unbelievably comfortable, the slipcovers are washable, and it’s handled years of kids, dogs, movie nights, and guests without ever feeling too precious,” homeowner Monroe Alvarez says of Sixpenny’s Devyn chaise sectional. 

The sectional’s wide seat cushions look big enough to sprawl out on and sound exceptionally comfortable (you can choose between a feather down or a vegan poly filling; both options are layered over a “high-density” foam).

Another standout feature? The sectional is modular, so you can configure it to best fit your space’s needs. In Monroe’s home, the chaise isn’t attached to either side of the couch; instead it’s situated separately towards the middle of the couch, like a coffee table.

At more than $6,000, Sixpenny’s Devyn sectional is definitely an investment piece. But, as Monroe said earlier, you don’t have to feel “precious” about it. At least she doesn’t. She can easily dry-clean the covers or pop them in the washing machine. There are several materials to choose from (ranging from canvas to velvet to linen), and Sixpenny offers some guidance on which fabric might be best for your home. For example, choose any of the linen options if you’re interested in dry-cleaning or light spot-cleaning. If you opt for a white fabric like Monroe did, you can spot-clean it with “a touch of non-brightening enzymatic detergent,” the brand says. 

And if you eventually grow tired of your sofa’s aesthetic, you can browse for other slipcovers from Sixpenny and swap it out — this flexibility lets you continually add a fresh look to your space. 

One downside to purchasing expensive products is feeling like you can’t fully enjoy them because you have to protect them, but washable slipcovers help ease that worry. You can easily put it in the washing machine — and like Monroe’s family with kids and dogs, you can enjoy years and years of relaxing on the couch.

More and more people want their homes to feel lived-in, and what better way to achieve that look than by actually living in them? Purchasing a slipcovered sofa gives you the freedom to live without fear of damaging a couch. Monroe’s sectional is a great reminder that investment furniture doesn’t have to feel off-limits. The best pieces are the ones you actually use every day — even with kids, pets, guests, and movie nights.
