Our Testing Process for the Best Sofa in a Box in Canada

Our Scoring Process for Sofas in a Box

We score our sofas in a box by testing them thoroughly, looking at the materials used, and recreating different circumstances with our testing teams. We want to make sure that you are getting the best idea of what a sofa will feel like or perform like. For that reason, we’ve combined all of our feedback scores into a single score that we feel properly represents our experience with each sofa. 

Our Tests for Sofas in a Box

We test the best sofa in a box in Canada by looking at how it sinks, how comfortable it is over time, and how it works for different body types. This includes tall people and those with larger frames, as well as petite or shorter Canadians. It may be easier to test a sofa than a mattress in a box, but we are still extremely thorough when we test.

How We Chose Our Sofas in a Box

We chose the best sofa in a box in Canada by looking at how they performed for us. We narrowed down our list by looking at the most popular options in Canada and ruling out the ones that didn’t work as well for us. Then, we worked to create a list of the options that made the cut. This way, you don’t have to worry about shopping for sub-par options.

Editor’s Choice – Cozey Altus

Full View of the Cozey Altus Sectional with Chaise
Our Editor's Choice
Cozey Altus is a great classic choice in a huge range of colours. Its many customization features made it stand out to us.
  • Firmness: 7.5/10
  • Cushions: 8/10
  • Sinkage: 4/10
  • Available Colours: 9/10
  • Modularity: 9.5/10

Highlights

  • Extremely customizable modular design with multiple options
  • Firm cushions for those who don’t want to sink into the sofa

“We love how modular the Cozey Altus is. We’re already looking at getting more modules for our space.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Cozey Altus)

Cozey Altus Construction

  • Covers. The covers on the Cozey Altus are removable and machine-washable. There are three fabric options, including Performance Fabric (which is great for kids and pets) and Velvet for statement pieces. The leather options look great, but the covers on these cushions cannot be removed.
  • Back Cushions. The back cushions use a medium-firm foam blend to sink slightly more than the seat cushions. They are still supportive enough to reduce lower back pain, though. 
  • Seat Cushions. The seat cushions are made from extremely high-density foam, each topped with a thin layer of more comfortable foam. These cushions are supported by firm steel springs on the base of the sofa. 
  • Frame. The frame of the Cozey Altus is made with kiln-dried larch for stability. The wood is wrapped in foam for comfort, so there’s little chance you will feel the wood even when leaning against the arms of the couch.

Cozey Altus Performance Scores

Firmness (7.5/10)

The seat cushions on the Cozey Altus are about 7.5 on our firmness scale. This firmness means they are supportive, but you’ll never really sink into them like you might a softer sofa. You’ll find that this sofa in a box holds up well through lots of use, particularly with the durable performance fabric cover option.

The Cozey Altus is about a 7.5 on our firmness scale.

Ease of Care (8.6/10)

For the most part, it’s easy to take care of the Cozey Altus. The covers are removable and washable. They can also be replaced if they become too damaged to function properly. Our testers noted that the covers were easy to take off and simple to slide back on after washing. However, the leather cover option is not washable and cannot be removed, so it’s a bit more difficult to maintain.

Customization (9.5/10)

The Cozey Altus is extremely customizable. You can purchase different modules separately to change how the sofa works. There’s also a choice of two different arm styles, two materials with three leg design colour options, and additions like a chaise for those who want it. You can also choose to order decorative pillows or lumbar pillows in the same fabric. Overall, there are endless configurations. You’ll also get 9 different colour options across three different fabric types for the covers. 

Who is the Cozey Altus For?

  • Canadians on a budget. The price per module is less for the Cozey Altus than in other modular sofas we’ve seen.  
  • Those who want to customize their sofa setup fully. So many options and additional modules are available for the Cozey Altus. It’s easy to create the sofa you need without compromising. 
  • Those who like firmer seats. The seat cushions of the Cozey Altus make it one of the best sofa in a box in Canada options. They offer minimal sinkage and strong support.

Who Should Avoid the Cozey Altus? 

  • Those who like a soft couch. While the Cozey Altus is comfortable, it isn’t ideal for those who need a soft cushion you can sink into.

“The cushions on this sofa in a box are extremely soft, and the washable covers are one of my favourite features.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Cozey Ciello)

Cozey Ciello Construction

  • Covers. You can choose from three cover materials for the Cozey Ciello. Performance fabric, which is available in two colours, is best for homes with pets and children. Other options include plush, soft chenille and corduroy. These are non-standard options that are somewhat unique for the Ciello. 
  • Back Cushions. The back cushions for this sofa are made with a soft foam blend. They are softer than some of the other options we’ve seen and offer minimal lumbar support. Still, they are comfortable to rest against while you are relaxing and napping.
  • Seat Cushions. The seat cushions are made with high-density foam at the core, surrounded by softer blended foam. It’s this combination of foam that makes the cushions softer and easy to sink into. 
  • Frame. The frame of the Cozey Ciello is made of durable pine. There is a high-density foam surround that helps maintain comfort throughout the couch. The frame also helps support the cushions with steel coils and a firm supportive base. 

Cozey Ciello Performance Scores

Firmness (6/10)

The cushions on the Cozey Ciello are softer than most of Cozey’s other sofas. You’ll find that they are easy to sink into, creating a soft and pillowy surface to rest on. This is amplified if you choose the Ciello XL, which features deeper cushions. You can choose the options to make your sofa the ultimate relaxation zone.

Firmness Chart 6
The Cozey Ciello is a plush 6 on our firmness scale.

Ease of Care (8.8/10)

It’s easy to care for the Cozey Ciello, as all of the cushion covers can be removed and washed. They are easy to clean, so there are no issues with extremely specific care instructions. No matter which fabric or colour you choose, you can always send the cushions through the wash when needed. If a cover gets too damaged to be usable, you can order replacements as well. The performance fabric option is, by far, the most durable for kids and pets.

Customization (9.5/10)

The Cozey Ciello offers impressive customization across both the Ciello Regular and the Ciello XL. You can choose a great many features that change how the sofa looks and feels, including configuration, arm style, additional modules, or extras like a chaise or storage ottoman. Some of the fabric options are non-standard, allowing for additional customization for those who want a unique look. 

Who is the Cozey Ciello For?

  • Canadians who like overstuffed cushions. The soft cushions of this sofa are overstuffed and well-cushioned, allowing you to sink into the cushiony comfort you need.
  • Those who want non-standard fabric options. While performance fabric is a common material, the Ciello offers less common options like chenille and corduroy as well. 
  • Homeowners who want high-level customization. There are lots of different options for the Cozey Ciello, including the arm styles, configurations, and additional pieces available. There’s also an XL option for those who want to relax on a larger sofa.

Who Should Avoid the Cozey Ciello? 

  • Those who want expansive colour options. There are only six total colour options for this sofa, and only two are available in each fabric choice.

Cozey Atmosphere Construction

Cozey Atmosphere Performance Scores

Firmness (6.5/10)

The cushions of the Cozey Atmosphere (at least the regular option) are medium in firmness, which means they are comfortable to sit on without allowing you to sink all the way through. These cushions allow for light sinkage and cradle your body, but they aren’t going to make it more difficult to get off the couch. During testing, we noted light sinkage but a very comfortable feel. 

Firmness Chart 6.5
The Cozey Atmosphere is a 6.5 on our firmness scale.

Ease of Care (9.5/10)

All of the covers that ship with the Cozey Atmosphere are machine washable. You can easily remove them and throw them in your washing machine at home without too much consideration for special instructions. They are easy to remove. You can also replace covers if they become too damaged, which makes it easy to maintain your sofa.

Customization (10/10)

Nearly everything about the Cozey Atmosphere is customizable. You can choose the colour and fabric, arm design and configuration, and whether you want storage seats or regular seats. Other additions include decorative pillows or lumbar pillows, as well as an ottoman. This wealth of options allows you to change the sofa to best suit your needs.

Who is the Cozey Atmosphere For?

  • Canadians who want full customization. This sofa allows for complete customization. You can change the cover fabric, arms, configuration, arm design, and whether you want storage within your seats. You can also add an ottoman, decorative pillows, and lumbar pillows if you want.
  • Those who need a wealth of colour and fabric options. There are four fabric options and 14 different colours available for the Cozey Atmosphere sofa.
  • Living rooms that need a little extra storage. If you need more room to store blankets and pillows, consider upgrading to the storage seating option.

Who Should Avoid the Cozey Atmosphere? 

  • Canadians on a budget. While the Cozey Atmosphere has inexpensive modules individually, the cost can quickly add up. This is especially true when you consider add-ins and upgrades.

Firmness (6.5/10)

The cushions on the Silk & Snow Aire are soft enough for gentle sinkage without losing support. These cushions are great for long-term lounging and don’t let you down in the short term, either. Our testers loved how unique these cushions felt, and definitely gave the sofa a higher overall rating because of how the cushions felt.

Firmness Chart 6.5
The Silk & Snow Aire is a 6.5 on our firmness scale.

Ease of Care (8/10)

While the covers of this sofa are water and stain resistant, they aren’t machine washable. It can be difficult to clean your sofa if it does get stained, especially since most of the colours are lighter. Our testers had some spills that didn’t result in stains, so it should be fine most of the time.

Customization (9/10)

Nearly everything about the Cozey Atmosphere is customizable. You can choose the colour and fabric, arm design and configuration, and wSilk & Snow Aire allows for some unique customization options you won’t find in other sofas.

“This sofa takes about 15 seconds to convert, without any straining, pushing, or pulling to get it to move. I love how easy it is to convert our space!”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Cozey Neptune)

Cozey Neptune Construction

  • Covers. The covers of the Cozey Neptune can be made of 100% polyester performance fabric (which is machine-washable and pet-friendly) or Aquaforte, a water-resistant and stain-resistant practical fabric.
  • Back Cushions. The firm back cushions on the Cozey Neptune are made with D35 high-density foam. This foam is resilient and supportive, allowing just enough sinkage to allow for maximum comfort.
  • Seat Cushions. The seat cushions are made with the same D35 high-density foam as the back cushions. While the back cushions are made to be a little firmer, the seat cushions offer a hint of softness.
  • Frame. The frame of the Cozey Neptune is made with premium plywood. This frame is sturdily constructed and helps the sofa maintain its shape, even when concealing storage or a hide-a-bed inside.

Cozey Neptune Performance Scores

Firmness (7.5/10)

The cushions used for the Cozey Neptune are firm enough to offer support without minimizing comfort. If you don’t like sinking too far into your sofa, this is the perfect option for you. The frame has to accommodate either storage or a folding bed frame, so the cushions are a little firmer than a standard sofa as a result. Our testers noted that they weren’t uncomfortable, but those who prefer a plush sofa might not like to lounge here.

The Cozey Neptune is a 7.5 on our firmness scale.

Ease of Care (8.5/10)

For the most part, it’s easy to take care of the sofa. The interior parts are well-constructed and don’t break easily, so you won’t be stuck with the bed frame unable to fold down into the base. The cushion fabrics are easy to clean, with the Performance Fabric being removable and machine-washable. The Aquaforte material is also stain-resistant and water-resistant, so you can wipe spills away without having to wash the covers.

Customization (8.5/10)

The design of the Cozey Neptune doesn’t offer many customization options, at least not when it comes to the arms of the sofa or attachable pieces. You can choose whatever setup you like, and available customization options include attachable ottomans or a headrest extension. The number of colors is also a bit lacking, but we expect this to expand over time.

Who is the Cozey Neptune For?

  • Canadians with small spaces. If you need extra storage or don’t have extra space for guests, the Cozey Neptune’s compact design can help provide both additional storage and a guest bed.
  • Those who often host guests. If you host guests often but don’t have a dedicated guest room, this sofa bed can be the perfect way to utilize your living room as a built-in guest room.
  • Households with kids and pets. Both fabric options are okay for kids and pets. They are all either stain-resistant or machine-washable.

Who Should Avoid the Cozey Neptune? 

  • Those who want a dedicated sofa space. The additional storage or sofa bed may not be suitable for those who have space for a modular sofa.

The thick high-density core of each cushion is encased in a waterproof bag that keeps the materials from getting damaged. They feel firm on both the back and the seat cushions, which is fine for those who entertain outdoors.

Customization (10/10)

The Cozey Mistral is one of the most customizable outdoor sofas we’ve ever seen. It’s a great example of a sofa in a box that has truly gone above and beyond. You can choose six different colours, two frame finishes, multiple configurations, whether the sofa has arms or not, cushion style for seat cushions, and add-ons like inline tables, end tables, and ottomans. These tables were the most surprising for us.

Who is the Cozey Mistral For?

  • Canadians who like to entertain outdoors. If you have a large outdoor entertainment space, you won’t find a better outdoor sofa than the Cozey Mistral. 
  • Those with ample storage space for the winter. It’s extremely easy to break this sofa down and store it for the winter, so it’s ideal for those who have the space to store it effortlessly.

    1. Hi Kara,
      Most of Cozey’s sofas have removable covers. They can be cleaned at home or replaced if they get damaged.
      Thanks!

      These sofas are comfortable enough for daily use in your living room. While some have thicker cushions or deeper seats than others, any will look and feel great in a studio apartment.
      Thank you!
