Our Methodology
We test all of our sofas using the same mindset. Since you can’t test most of these sofas before you make a purchase, we want to present the most complete and accurate view before you make a decision. That means we look at every facet of the sofa, including the construction, cushion firmness, and ease of care.
Sofa Details
The Noa Soho Velvet is a mid-century modern sofa that has a firm, tufted seat cushion that is attached to the frame and two removable back cushions that have a bit more fluff to them. Included with the sofa are two round bolster pillows. The Soho Velvet is upscale and elegant and looks great in any space where you want to make a statement.
Seating up to three people comfortably, this sofa works best in average to large living spaces where there is a bit more room. We loved the three luxurious shades of velvet that it came in, and it was super soft to the touch. This isn’t the best option for those with pets, though, as the fabric attracted hair more than most other sofas we tried out.

Sofa Construction
The Noa Soho Velvet sofa is made from premium materials that are meant to last throughout the years.
- Sofa Fabric: Made from 100% polyester velvet, the fabric of the sofa is extremely soft and inviting to sit on.
- Back Cushions: The Noa Soho comes with two large removable back cushions that are made from a polyester and feather blend fill. These back cushions are softer than the seat cushion, allowing you to lean back comfortably.
- Seat Cushion: The tufted bottom cushion of the Soho is attached to the frame and seats three comfortably. It is made from high-density foam, giving it a firm and supportive feel without much bounce.
- Frame: Crafted from kiln-fired pine wood, the frame is sturdy and durable.
Sofa Performance Test Results
Things like firmness levels of the cushions, washability, seating flexibility and configurations are some of the most important features of a sofa that we look at when testing and evaluating them.
Firmness (8/10)
We look at the materials of the seat cushion and the springs within the frame when testing the firmness of the sofa. Sofas using softer polyfill and foam blends will rank lower, and give you a sinking feeling into the sofa. Those wanting a firm and more structured sofa will want to look for one that is at least a 7 or 8 out of 10.

The Noa Soho Velvet Sofa ranks high on firmness due to its sturdy and firm seat cushion that is made of high-density foam. This tufted seat has a slight give when pushing on it and the springs within the sofa do have some bounce. When pushing on the cushion, there is no sinking or indents.
Ease of Care (7/10)
Our team ranks a sofa’s ease of care based on how washable the covers are, how easy it is to spot clean and how difficult it is to take care of the fabric. Those with pets or children or who like to eat on their sofa may want to choose one with a high score for the long term.
Ranking just average on ease of care, the Noa Soho Velvet Sofa is a bit more difficult to clean and care for than some other Noa sofas. The velvet fabric needs steaming when first delivered and needs to be kept out of the sunlight due to fading issues. The cushions cannot be machine washed, so spot cleaning is the only way to clean the fabric.
Seating Configurations (6.5/10)
Every sofa that we review is tested on its seating configurations. Sofas that can be customized to different layouts or that have extensive seating options will score higher, usually above a 7 or 8 out of 10. Sofas that have stationary layouts or seat fewer people will rank lower.
While it does seat three people comfortably, this sofa does not have great seating configuration options. Without the option to change the layouts or add an ottoman or chaise lounge, the Noa Soho Velvet lacks some of the custom options for expanding or changing seating that we like.

Should You Buy a Noa Sofa?
The Noa Soho Velvet sofa is a wonderful choice for any Canadian wanting a beautiful piece of furniture at a reasonable cost. The lush look of the Soho velvet is ideal for any mid-century modern living space. We love the rich velvet colours of the fabric, and we like that it is incredibly soft to the touch. Those with pets though should be careful with this sofa, as pet hair tends to stick to the sofa more than other fabric options. Those wanting a firm sofa will be happy with this option as well, as it doesn’t have a lot of give to the cushions.
FAQ’s
How many people can fit on the Noa Soho Velvet sofa?
This Noa Soho Velvet can comfortably fit three people. At 86” wide, this sofa is the length of a traditional sofa, and longer than a loveseat. We like the singular, tufted seat cushion, which gives the illusion of the sofa being slightly larger than it actually is, and we won’t experience the sinking of individual cushions.
Do you have to put together the Soho sofa?
Noa sofas overall need very little assembly. Since these sofas are not sofa-in-a-box styles, they come mostly fully assembled. For the Noa Soho Velvet, only the bottom legs of the sofa need to be screwed on. It took us just 5 minutes to have this sofa ready to assemble, which included unpacking the plastic and attaching the legs to the frame.
