13 Best Pit Sofas That Are as Stylish as They Are Nostalgic

You can get the best of the ’70s without skimping on style, thanks to this model from Albany Park. The Kova Pit is made with modularity in mind, as you can configure it however you want: as a full pit-style sofa, double chaise sectional, or any other combination you can imagine. To top it off, the ultra-soft hypoallergenic, 100 percent vegan cushions are also removable, and the fully upholstered back cushions are reversible. Many reviewers raved about how comfortable it is—so much so that they often prefer to sleep on it over their own beds. It’s a high-quality item that isn’t too spendy, and it comes in several different fabric options. Assembly is required, though, and some people shared that the number of boxes and steps were overwhelming.

A reviewer says: “Best purchase we ever made. I sleep better on my couch than my bed!”

Match modern interiors with this boxy pit sofa from West Elm. The Remi is also modular, so you can arrange the ottomans to fit your desired configuration. The cushions are also filled with memory foam for a “deceptively plush feel.” As with most West Elm designs, there are a wide range of fabrics available, from linen to bouclé. Through their white glove service, the West Elm team will deliver it exactly where you want it, fully assembled. The one “con” from some reviewers was that it wasn’t the most comfortable sofa.

You can customize nearly every aspect of Lovesac’s Sactionals, down to the type of fill in the cushions. To create a pit sofa, go for the “8 Standard Seats + 10 Standard Sides” configuration. From there, you can decide the type of arm and back, cover fabric, and fill. As a bonus, you can upgrade to get accessories like drink holders, storage ottomans, and there’s even a “power hub,” which allows you to charge your electronics from the comfort of your couch.

Style meets functionality in this Arhaus pit sectional, one of several pieces in the company’s Coburn Collection. The seat cushions are filled with dense foam, and the backrests have a combination of poly fiber, sterilized down, and feathers inside. The sectional comprises six pieces, and there are back pillows included. For even more customization opportunities, you can contact the Arhaus Design Team to design your own Coburn sectional. Assembly is required, but you can add white glove service to your purchase for a hassle-free delivery.

While the Dawson Pit-Sectional Sofa is a newer addition, it’s already become a bestseller among all Castlery products. One happy customer shared that it’s as comfortable as it is “gorgeous.” There are two polyester-linen blend fabrics to choose from, and you can move the pieces around for a different configuration. One key benefit to picking a Castlery product? You can instantly visualize it using the Room Designer Tool, which shows you how a sofa or other furniture item will look given the width of the room.

A reviewer says: “Absolutely spectacular. My partner and I are in awe at how gorgeous and comfortable this lovely couch is.

You also have the freedom to move these pieces around to use them as a pit sofa or any other seating arrangement.

From fabric to cushion widths, there’s a lot you can do with the Beckham pit sofa. For an additional fee, upgrades are available to get a larger sofa (120” W X 40” H X 80” D), larger back cushions (full versus small), and a more plush fill. White glove delivery is available for all made-to-order and most in-stock items at Interior Define, saving you from a complicated assembly process. However, you’ll need to be patient while waiting for your sofa to arrive. The estimated delivery window is 10 to 14 weeks.

A reviewer says: “The sectional sofa is so comfy and the connectors are easy to line up so it’s not hard to rearrange. The fabric is soft but also feels like it will stand up to lots of use. We went with Boulder for the fabric and love that it doesn’t show our dogs’ hair.”

Looking to dive into your sofa? Then this sectional is exactly what you need. It’s an ideal option if you have a larger space that needs filling.

It should be noted that 7th Avenue received a lot of praise for their excellent customer service, too. Some were impressed after visiting the brick and mortar location in Los Angeles, while others had a seamless online purchasing experience.

A reviewer says: “It arrived within 2 weeks after our purchase. The sectional looks great, is very comfortable, and best of all is pet/kid friendly! The water resistant material is amazing, easy to clean and the overall build quality is top notch. We even spilled colored drinks on it—lo and behold it works just as advertised.”

A velvet sofa can elevate your space, and the Tatum pit sofa is offered in 36 different performance velvet fabrics. It’s a luxurious touch, especially for a couch that’s technically designed for relaxation. There are two sizes available, and you can get a wider, deeper version for an additional $725. Plus, a down alternative foam seat is an optional upgrade. The sofa received high marks among customers who selected the performance velvet fabrics, and many shared how comfortable it is. That being said, one reviewer said there are some gaps in between the modular pieces.

An reviewer says: “This sofa is so perfect ! The luxurious velvet fabric brings a touch of elegance to my living room, while the cushions are the perfect balance between firmness and comfort. It is classy and effortlessly complements my beautiful old farmhouse, adding a touch of charm to the space. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase—it’s love at first sit!”

This cozy lounger has the perks of a classic pit sofa, with a frame that’s suited for smaller spaces. It’s also upholstered with a stain-resistant fabric for added convenience, which is a must since it comes in a shade of ivory that can expose spills or marks.

At first glance, this looks more like an art piece than a functional pit sofa—and that’s exactly what it is. There are undulating lines and curves to the nostalgic, all-foam form, which makes it more of a conversation-starter than a classic couch.

This unique pit sofa comes in five different fabrics and a whopping 65 colors—from a neutral terra-cotta to a bold electric blue. There are several types of pieces that can create your composition of elements, and you can find a store near you on the Ligne Roset site for more information.
