We're in the middle of doing some hardcore research into buying our first 4+4 Sactional, and I'm wondering if there are any Lovesac owners here on TD who wouldn't mind talking about their ownership experience.

This is what we're looking at, right now:



For those of you who've owned the Sactionals before:

Did you find that you rearranged the group as often as you thought you might, given the ease of reconfiguring?

Did you get the Standard, Down or LoveSoft fill, and were you happy with your decision?

Which cover material did you choose?

Did you ever have any significant issues with removing the covers to clean?

Any other advice for someone who's considering pulling the trigger on a $3k furniture purchase? (We're waiting on one of the Flash Sales for 20-30% off at Easter/Memorial Day).

Thanks!

I would imagine you would rearrange it at least 50 times in the first month.

And then probably zero times in the next 10 years.

We obviously don't have it yet, but the plan is to keep it in the mode I put in OP the majority of the time. When we have folks over for a game night or during football season, we can take the two "ottoman" pieces and convert them into another loveseat or armless chairs.

Looked at them. They're ugly looking, but I bet they're comfortable.

Ended up going with an Ethan Allen couch. Looks like, well made, and super comfortable.

I looked at them. They’re far too expensive for my taste. The concept of re-covering them is fine and kind of cool, but the cost to buy another set of covers is about the price of another couch the same size. So I actually went with Campaign - I found them at about 30% of the original price on Amazon. It actually was cheaper to grab these and buy separate slip covers than it would have been to buy from campaign in my preferred color.


They are out of stock pretty frequently and go fast. They’re not modular. But they make a handful of sizes and ottomans. I figured I was more likely to move this around than actually reconfigure the lovesac, and it came in about $1200 for two loveseats and two chairs. The configurability of Lovesac is super unique and novel, but there are quite a few other options if what you’re really looking for is something that ships easy, is quality-made, and can has a lot of cover options.

Have one and love it, the kids constantly get it dirty and we just wash the slips. It’s very comfortable, but no once we settled on a configuration we liked we’ve never moved it around.

Keep saying we’re going to do the movie chair configuration but never have

If you want modular and washable slip covered, look at IKEA. I’ve been extremely happy with the Kivik line sofa, chaise, and ottoman I bought for right around $1k. Cushions are firm/soft not squashy with some memory foam. Plenty of third party slipcover makers when you want to change up the look. Of course, you do have to assemble yourself. But that would be worth a $2k savings to me.

No offense, but that IKEA line seems to be exactly what one would expect from there. Particle board and inexpensive foam.

We are looking for something that's far more durable. LS' lifetime warranty on the base components more than makes up for those concerns.

We have the largest one so we change the set-up quite often, but really it's just the kids that move it around. When we have company we just make an L shape and another sofa. Movie night we just make a large bed looking shape.

We got Chenille for the fabric because we were worried about the kids destroying the leather.

Overall we love it. Best couch I've ever owned.

No offense taken, but I’d wager if you stripped off the foam on the Lovesac, you’re going to find the exact same materials as IKEA. They’re far more durable, in the main furniture lines, than you’d expect.

Lovesac isn’t exactly Stickley or Vaughan-Bassett.

Based on the break-down videos from the LoveSac YT channel, this is not accurate. Real wood plywood is a massive difference from particle board.

We've owned (and still own) a number of pieces from Ikea, and they've been adequate. Dressers & bookcases are worlds apart from furniture that'll be used every day.

There we go. That's what I'm looking for.

Thanks for weighing in!

We're waiting to see if they do a 30% off sale for Easter, but I imagine that if they didn't (they have for the past 3 years), then we'll catch Memorial Day.

Ideally, we'd love to get one of the Costco LoveSac road show bundles. Mrs. Vox wants a PillowSac something fierce.

I'm pretty sure they only actually sell any during their sales.

My wife wanted the same, but I put my foot down.

There's a 14 day price adjustment window if you lose your mind and just buy without one of the larger holiday-oriented sales, but I think we can wait until Easter or Memorial Day.

The Costco Roadshow sales are awesome, because you get the Sactionals (there are several configurations available) + a CitySac, the Squattoman and a couple of the FootSac blankets, all for less than you could get the Sactionals, themselves, directly from LS.

The big debate is whether or not we want to spring for the LoveSoft foam, or just stick with the Standard.

For any interested lurker a, Costco just went live today on 4+5 and 6+8 Sactional bundles that have a CitySac, FootSac blankets and all kinds of extras. Great deal for the Standard fill.

No, I actually ended up going with the 4+4 Lovesoft Movie Lounger set from one of the local LS showrooms. We swapped a standard seat out for the Storage Seat and got a PillowSac to go in the corner. Just placed the order within the hour. Should be here in 1-2 weeks.

The Costco deal is perfect... until it isn't. We really wanted to upgrade to the LoveSoft fill, and unfortunately you can't get anything but the Standard fill from Costco. Another wrinkle is that we weren't sold on the CitySac, since when we get our new house, we want either a SuperSac or a Big One to go in the basement.

All of the extras from the Costco bundle are a little overkill for us. We wouldn't use the table tray, the CitySac wasn't what we wanted, and the cupholders are okay, but there are other styles on Amazon from 3rd parties that work better for us. The FootSac blankets are pretty much the only things we would've used on a regular basis. For what we're looking for, the price was great but nothing was going to overcome the Standard fill vs the LoveSoft upgrade, and Costco couldn't make that happen.

Don't get me wrong - the Costco bundle is an OUTSTANDING deal, so long as the LoveSoft isn't a dealbreaker for you.

Shipping update - Lovesac doesn't play around. The shipping labels were created with FedEx this morning, and according to FedEx, they should be here on Saturday.

Yesterday, upon ordering, the showroom manager told me that they'll be out within 1-2 weeks. If they get here this weekend, that'll be a serious case of underpromising and overdelivering.
