Our Methodology

It’s important to us that you know how your sofa will feel. Since most of the sofas we test can’t be tested before purchase, we want to make sure that you know how they perform. We look at the construction of each sofa, the firmness of the cushions, how easy they are to clean, and other key features to ensure you get the best look at them.

Sofa Details

The Noa Kennedy Leather sofa is ideal for any Canadian wanting a sofa that will last for years. It is made of durable and supple leather that gets better with time, and the cushions are soft and comfortable. We loved the two shades of brown that the sofa comes in, which go great in any living room, den, or office space.

Each of the Kennedy leather sofas comfortably seats up to three people. You can choose between a 3-seater traditional sofa or a 3-seater sectional, which is larger and includes a chaise lounge on either the left or right side. No matter your room size, one of the two options will fit perfectly. While you can’t machine wash the leather, wiping it clean and caring for it with leather cleaner and polish is easy.

Sofa Performance Test Results

Our team looks at the most important qualities when making recommendations. We test and rank a sofa on things like the firmness of the cushions, how easy it is to clean, overall care, and seating configuration options.

Firmness (6.5/10)

We score a sofa’s firmness based on the density and plushness of the seat cushions, as well as how much you might sink into the sofa when sitting on it. Those needing firm lumbar support will want to choose a sofa with a firmness ranking of at least 7.5/10.

Firmness Chart 6.5
The Noa Kennedy falls at a 6.5 on our firmness chart.

The Noa Kennedy Leather Sofa ranks lower than average on firmness due to its super soft cushions. Both the seat and the back cushions allow you to sink into the sofa, ideal for a movie night or a weekend nap. When pushing on the cushions, there is quite a bit of give to them, and the inner springs of the sofa give it a slight bounce.

Ease of Care (8/10)

We score a sofa’s firmness based on the density and plushness of the seat cushions, as well as how much you might sink into the sofa when sitting on it. Those needing firm lumbar support will want to choose a sofa with a firmness ranking of at least 7.5/10.

While this leather sofa doesn’t have removable covers that you can wash, we still found the Noa Kennedy Leather Sofa to have good ease of care. The cushions and frame were easy to wipe down with leather cleaner, and the leather was soft and supple and didn’t crack over time. This is a great sofa for kids and adults alike, and spills were easy to take care of. We don’t recommend it for Canadians with pets that scratch, though, as the leather is easily punctured.

Seating Configurations (8/10)

We look at how many seats there are, how easy it is to rearrange the layout and any customizable options like chaise lounges and ottomans when scoring a sofa’s seating configuration.

While this sofa can only seat three people, we love that it has multiple seating options. We scored the Noa Kennedy Leather sofa high due to being able to choose from a regular three-seat sofa, or a three-seat sectional, as well as being able to choose which side of the sofa you want the chaise lounge to be.

While leather sofas have a reputation for being tricky to clean, we thought the Noa Kennedy Leather sofa had great ease of care. Using a recommended leather cleaner on a regular basis ensured that the colouring of the material stayed even, and the occasional spills were easy to clean up.

Is the Noa Kennedy Leather sofa firm or soft?

This sofa is on the softer side, and you will experience slight sinking when you sit on it. Filled with polyester fiberfill, the cushions are squishy and not firm like ones filled with high-density foam. This is a great couch for Canadians who don’t need structured support from their sofa.
