The Original Cozey Modular Sofa Collection
The Altus sofa is Cozey’s original collection and is perfect for Canadian households of any size. With the ability to fully customize seating layouts, you can make a sofa perfect for a small office or one large enough for a giant family room.
At $1195 for a three-seater sofa, this moderately priced collection is great for those seeking more support and structure. Each Altus sofa comes in three fabric options, has multiple arm and leg materials, and has optional ottoman and chaise lounge add-ons.

Our Methodology
When we test our sofas, we consider all the different features that Canadians often look for. We want to provide you with a good look at how the sofa performs, including how comfortable it is in different scenarios. We look at the firmness, materials, upholstery, and modularity of each sofa to determine if it works well for most Canadians. The results of multiple rounds of testing allow us to create the scores we have assigned each sofa.
Sofa Details
The Cozey Altus Sofa is a modular sofa in a box that allows for the unique customization of the entire collection. You can choose seats, corner pieces, ottomans and chaise lounges, all arranged in a way that best suits your family and room layout. We appreciated that all of the seats had two different arm styles, and the legs could be swapped from wood to different metal finishes as well. Each ottoman is built to store your blankets or throw pillows, too.
There are three different fabric options to choose from: highly durable performance fabric, velvet, and leather. Most of the covers are machine washable, making them a great pick for those with pets or kids.
Each Cozey Altus sofa comes with a 30-day risk-free trial period. If at any time within that time period, Cozey will pick up the sofa (keep the original boxes) and issue a full refund.

Sofa Construction

As Cozey’s original sofa, the Altus is made from durable, high-quality materials that stand the test of time. We loved the washable cover of the cushions and the feel of the medium-firm cushions.
- Cover: The Cozey Altus is available in three different cover options, making it one of the most versatile on the market. With the most colour choices, the performance fabric is great for those with pets children and in high-traffic areas. It held up great in the washing machine, and spills and stains were easy to remove. The velvet fabric option is ideal for those seeking a more upscale aesthetic, and it can also be machine-washed. Lastly, the Altus also comes in leather, and while it cannot be washed, it makes for a great focal point in any living room.
- Back Cushions: The back cushions are made from a medium-firm foam blend. While you slightly sink into them, they are fairly supportive for those seeking some lumbar support.
- Bottom Cushions: The majority of these bottom cushions are made from ultra-thick high-density foam, topped with a small layer of plush soft foam. While there is a bit of bounce, these cushions are mostly firm.
- Base: The Altus base is constructed from kiln-dried larch wood that is wrapped in a thin layer of foam for comfort. Inside the frame, the inner springs are made of firm steel, giving the sofa some springiness.
Sofa Performance Test Results
When evaluating sofas, we consider factors like how customizable the seating is, whether the cushions are soft or firm, and how easy it is to clean overall.
Firmness (7.5/10)
We score firmness based on how dense or soft the cushions are and how much padding and plushness the base offers. For Canadians seeking a sofa that they can sink into without much support, a ranking of less than 7 is ideal. Those wanting a couch with a bit more firmness and structure to their couch will want to look for one with a higher score.

The Cozey Altus performed slightly higher than average on firmness due to its thicker, dense foam. Overall, the cushions felt more solid without a lot of softness, which was comfortable for our testers who needed more firm support for their backs. Canadians who desire a sofa they can sink into will want to look at the Cozey Ciello instead.
Ease of Care (8.6/10)
Our team looks at how easily removable and washable the covers are and how convenient it is to clean the base. Those who have pets or small children or who like to eat while sitting on their sofa will want one with at least a 7 or 8 out of 10, whereas Canadians who keep messes away from their sofa will be okay with a lower ranking.
We loved how easy it was to clean this sofa and ranked it higher than average. For the performance and velvet options, the covers came off the cushions incredibly fast and held up great in the washing machine. We didn’t think it earned a perfect score, though, due to the base fabric being stationary and the leather cushions needing more special care.
Seating Configurations (9.5/10)
We evaluate a sofa’s seating configuration based on how many different possibilities there are for adding, changing, and adapting seating. We recommend a ranking of at least 8 for those who want to expand their sofa, including chaise lounges and rearrange their sofa design.
With a near-perfect score, we were highly impressed with the Cozey Altus sofa collection. With the ability to buy preset layouts as well as individual pieces to create your ideal sofa, the Altus has superior seating configuration options. We liked the option to add one or more storage ottomans, as well as turn any seat into a chaise lounge. Whether you need a small loveseat or a sofa to fill a large space, the Altus is a solid option.
Setup of the Cozey Altus Sofa
Setting up the Cozey Altus sofa was both quick and easy. While it’s possible to do it alone, we recommend having an extra hand in order to have one person hold a seat while the other locks the other into place. Each seat, arm and ottoman will come in its own shipping box and does not require any tools to assemble.
It took our team of two about 5-10 minutes per seat to put together, which included the time to put the covers on the cushions.

Delivery, Risk-Free Trial & Returns
With warehouses in both Montreal and Vancouver, shipping is fast and free to all Canadian provinces. Cozey doesn’t promise a specific delivery time frame, but they have an easy-to-use shipping calculator on the Altus webpage. Cozey uses various ground couriers to ship their sofas, and each one promises delivery right to your front door, even if you aren’t home.
Each Cozey sofa includes a 30-day risk-free trial to test the layout and comfort right in your home. We found it easy to initiate a return, and Cozey promptly scheduled a pickup time. We thought their unique approach of reselling the sofas that were returned in this timeframe was incredibly resourceful. If you need to return your Altus, make sure to keep the original boxes; otherwise, they take a 15% restocking fee out of your refund.

Should You Buy a Cozey Altus Sofa?
The Cozey Altus sofa is ideal for any Canadian who wants a slightly firmer sofa with limitless seating configurations. With washable covers in most of the fabric options and the option to add more seating later, it is one of the most versatile modular sofas on the market.
The Altus comes in at a moderate price point compared to the other Cozey sofa collections and includes a 30-day risk-free trial for those who may be unsure about the comfort or fabric. We have tried a lot of sofa-in-a-box options, and this is by far one of our favourites due to how highly customizable it is.
FAQ’s
How firm is the Cozey Altus sofa?
The Cozey Altus sofa is ranked as having medium-firm cushions. While you won’t overly sink into this sofa, it still has a little bit of spring and give to the cushions. Those looking for a nice balance between a super soft sofa and one that is ultra firm will find that the Cozey Altus is a great pick.
Is the Cozey Altus sofa made in Canada?
Cozey has two different warehouses where they manufacture and ship out their sofas. Their warehouses are located in Montreal and Vancouver, ensuring that no matter where in Canada you live, you will get your sofa shipped and delivered quickly.
Is there a trial period for the Cozey Altus?
All sofas, including the Altus, include a 30-day trial period. This trial period is entirely risk-free and allows you to test the sofa out at home to make sure it is a good fit. If during those 30 days, you are not happy with the sofa, you can contact Cozey to arrange a time for them to pick up the sofa and be issued a refund.
How should I wash the Altus sofa?
The cushions of the Cozey Altus can be removed and machine-washed as often as you wish. The base fabric of the Altus can be spot cleaned, as well as the legs. Those wanting a sofa that can be fully washed may want to consider the Cozey Atmosphere.
Is the Cozey Altus hard to put together?
We think that the Cozey Altus was incredibly easy to set up. While we recommend having two people for the fastest and easiest assembly, it is possible to do it solo. We took about 5 to 10 minutes per seat to place the cushion cover on and then attach it to the next seat. Our team appreciated the tool-free assembly and secure connections of the Altus.
