If you’re on the hunt for a new spot to relax, allow us to introduce you to some of the top Crate & Barrel sofas we’ve tested, reviewed, and even dozed off on. While Crate & Barrel isn’t new to the design world (it was founded in the 1960s), it remains a reliable favorite for everyone—from stylish college grads to seasoned interior designers who’ve been collecting Crate & Barrel pieces for years. With nearly 100 models, each offering multiple fabric and color choices, both in-store and online, we’ve narrowed down the options to the five best styles to consider.

Before you scroll down to check out our top five picks, keep in mind that we aimed for variety. You’ll find sectionals, sleeper sofas, traditional styles, and more. Plus, our Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner shares the one she owns in her own apartment, further confirming that it’s a top editor-approved choice. So if you’re ready to upgrade from your saggy old couch to something that will last for years, keep reading and shop our top picks.

Avondale Sectional Sofa

Crate & Barrel $1,599

Pros:

  • Over 250 fabric options available
  • Multiple configuration choices
  • White glove delivery included in shipping cost

Cons:

  • Custom fabrics may take up to eight weeks to ship

The Avondale sectional is an ideal option for anyone seeking flexibility, especially if you’re not ready to commit to a left- or right-facing layout. Our Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner bought this sectional for her New York City apartment, explaining, “I wanted a quality sectional that would last but didn’t want to invest in something that wouldn’t fit in a future apartment. The Crate & Barrel designer suggested the Avondale, and I bought it right away. The chaise can be placed on either side, which makes it perfect for any future moves.” Available in over 250 fabrics, you’ll easily find a style that complements your space. Jessica added, “I wanted navy velvet, but my boyfriend preferred twill, so we compromised on navy chenille, which looks like twill and feels like velvet.”

Dimensions: 121.5″ W x 39″ D x 29″ H
Cushion Fill: Polyfoam wrapped in feather-down blend
Special Features: Movable chaise and two bolster pillows


Revive Slipcovered Sofa

Crate & Barrel $3,299

Pros:

  • Machine-washable slipcover made from recycled materials
  • Cushions are made from recycled water bottles and foam
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble for recycling

Cons:

  • Only three fabric colors available

For those who love a cozy, laid-back vibe—think cottagecore or coastal aesthetics—this slipcovered sofa is a perfect fit. While it offers fewer fabric options, it ships quickly, so you won’t be waiting for months. The three available colors—seashell, ocean, and shale—are all in stock, and we’re particularly fond of the seashell shade. Not only is the cover machine-washable, but it’s also made of 100% recycled polyester fabric, and the cushion fillings are made from recycled water bottles, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Dimensions: 91.5″ W x 39″ D x 33.25″ H
Cushion Fill: Foam and recycled water bottles
Special Features: Entirely recyclable sofa

Barrett II Sleeper Sofa

Crate & Barrel $1,899

Pros:

  • Over 230 fabric options
  • Available in three mattress sizes and four sofa widths
  • Gel-infused memory foam mattress

Cons:

  • Only two fabric options in stock

At first glance, the Barrett II may seem like a typical two-seater, but it transforms into a sleeper sofa with a five-inch thick gel-infused memory foam mattress. Choose from twin, full, or queen sizes, with almost 240 fabric choices. While some fabric options take a few weeks to ship, there are two in-stock choices, including a beige bouclé and gray textured weave. The rich, earthy-toned microfiber (like the Brandy shade) is a favorite among customers.

Dimensions: 78.25″ W x 36″ D x 30″ H
Cushion Fill: High-resilience polyfoam wrapped in soy-based foam and encased in synthetic ticking
Special Features: Gel-infused memory foam mattress


Unwind Modular Slipcovered Sectional

Crate & Barrel $4,597

Pros:

  • All fabric options in stock
  • Machine-washable slipcover
  • Cushions are soft and comfy

Cons:

  • Each modular piece is heavy (50 pounds)

This sectional is a must-have for anyone who loves flexibility. Each piece is modular, allowing you to arrange it however you like. It’s available in six fabrics, all in stock and ready to ship. But the real appeal is comfort—its pillowy cushions are made from polyfiber and a feather-blend, making it feel as cozy as sitting on a cloud. One reviewer raved, “I’ve had this couch for a couple of months now, and I’m obsessed. It’s so cozy, though you’ll need to fluff the cushions every now and then.”

Dimensions: 148″ W x 44.5″ D x 26″ H
Cushion Fill: Polyfiber and feather-blend encased in downproof ticking
Special Features: Machine-washable slipcover and customizable layout

Crate & Barrel $2,899

Pros:

  • More than 250 fabric options available
  • Choice between foam or standard mattress
  • Tilt-up headrest

Cons:

  • Shipping can take more than eight weeks for most fabrics

This sleeper sofa is another favorite for its wide variety of fabric choices (over 250!) and its stylish contemporary design. It comes with a choice of either a foam or standard mattress, as well as a tilt-up headrest for extra comfort. While many fabric options take up to eight weeks to ship, two are in stock, including a chic ivory linen weave. The cushions are filled with plant-based polyfoam, wrapped in a sink-in fiber and feather-down blend, offering excellent support.
