Sofa/Sectional - not crazy expensive

Submitted by srajeevan89 t3_11y91bm in BuyItForLife

I have been going through all the sofa post here and looked at a lot of the brands and websites mentioned in the comments. I feel like all these high quality ones are crazy expensive like around 10k. I understand that the quality is great for these expensive ones.But I don’t have that much to spend on a sofa/sectional.

Any suggestions on some decent quality sofa/sectional brands for a modern home.?

Not sure how you feel about Ikea, but we've had an Ikea Ektorp for 7 years and it's awesome.

We have a basic 3-seat one, but a friend has the corner sectional one and loves it as well.

We've had it for 7 years now, and our son (teenage, 6'4", 225lb) sleeps on it probably 50% of the time (by choice - he says it super comfy). His friends have slept on it loads as well, and my husband is asleep on it now. No squeaks, breaks, anything.

We have 3 identical slip covers we rotate through - it's recommended you line dry them, so we do, but they're super low maintenance. (We did Scotchgard them, which I also recommend.)

We also have 4 cats, 2 of whom are assholes and puke on the couch every couple weeks - comes right up with just water+ vinegar and a rag.

I know it sounds like I'm a shill for Ikea, but I honestly just love the couch that much.

Been discontinued. The Uppland is supposedly the new version. Can't speak on the quality.

My ektorp sectional just passed 10 years and it truly has held up. We have the white slipcover and I think the fact that we can bleach the covers is part of what makes it still look so good.

We love ours. I'm so bummed to hear they discontinued it. I'm sure whatever they replaced it with is fine, but the Ektorp was both comfy and sturdy without being ugly.

inside weather Bondi sectional. A little on the expensive side, but we did a couch, loveseat and ottoman for under $5k. Had about a year so far, has stood up very well to a large dog and a cat. We got ours in a velvet; has handled dirt and spills very well, couldn't be happier with it.

EDIT: Just checked prices, and they've gone up a bit since we got ours. May not be as good a value currently.
