Stepping into our flagship 100,000 square foot Acworth furniture store can be an overwhelming experience. In fact, we hear it from shoppers every day! This is especially true for folks shopping for sofas, sectionals, loveseats or other upholstered seating, simply because we have a massive selection to choose from. That’s precisely why we began publishing our list of best sellers in each product category every single year.
In order to improve our customers’ shopping experience and help them in their decision-making process, we’ve put together a list of 2023’s most popular upholstered seating based on our own sales data from last year. While this list is technically more of a recap than a projection of trends to come, each and every one of the upholstered living room sets was a big hit with our shoppers last year and will likely remain so throughout 2024. Our list of the 20 best selling upholstery collections for 2023 includes a range of styles, colors, price ranges and upholstery materials. However, one thing this list won’t have is reclining features. You’ll need to check out our 2023 list of best selling reclining furniture for those.
By the end of this short report, you’ll either find a sectional, sofa, loveseat, chair or ottoman that you love, or you’ll have a much better idea of what you’re looking for in your next living room set. Either way, we hope you can use this list of upholstery collections as a starting point for your own sofa shopping journey. Let the countdown begin!
#20 | Desperado Living Room from West Coast Collection
The first collection on our upholstery countdown is a throwback that has been on our best seller list for a couple years running. Loose back cushions, deep seat cushions, down blend fill, and wide track arms make the Desperado Collection from West Coast Collection modern, luxurious, and incredibly comfy. Not to mention the included on-trend accent pillows. Choose between a sofa, sleeper sofa, loveseat, chair and ½, ottoman, or 4 piece sectional, in dark gray Firefly Flannel or off-white Eureka Linen. If you want a modern, oversized look, you can’t go wrong with this living room set.
#19 | Troy Living Room from West Coast Collection
Laid-back and modern, the Troy upholstered living room set includes your choice of matching sofa, loveseat, oversized chair and ottoman. With clean lines, block feet, and neutral, textured Marble upholstery fabric, the Troy Collection is stylistically versatile and will fit pretty much any contemporary or transitional space. For those who want a bit more contrast in their living space, we also offer a coordinating accent chair. The deep seats and reversible, heavy gauge coil spring cushions make this Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet exclusive a comfy and durable addition to any den or living room.
#18 | Fusion Furniture Vibrant Vision Collection
Much like the Troy Collection above, the neutral Oatmeal fabric of Fusion Furniture’s 9778 Vibrant Vision Oatmeal Collection makes this upholstered living room set extremely versatile. This transitional upholstery set can easily pair with a variety of décor styles and colors and includes a sofa, a completely reversible sofa chaise (aka “chofa”), a comfy chair and ½, a cocktail ottoman, and a coordinating accent chair with ottoman.
#17 | Signature Design by Ashley Lavernett Sectional & Ottoman
Looking for something comfortable with a larger seating capacity? Don’t miss the Lavernett living room from Ashley Furniture with its clean contemporary look and soft gray microfiber feel. The L-shaped Lavernett sectional is available in a 3 piece (left-arm-facing sofa, wedge, right-arm-facing sofa) or larger 4 piece configuration (left-arm-facing sofa, wedge, armless chair, right-arm-facing sofa), but is technically modular as you can expand it by ordering additional armless chair units. An additional oversize ottoman completes this cool, casual look.
#16 | Jackson Furniture Hudson Collection
American-made and budget-friendly, Jackson Furniture’s Hudson Collection is another contemporary casual option that’s incredibly popular with our shoppers. Take your pick of a sofa, loveseat, chair and ½, and ottoman, each available in Chocolate Brown or Steel Gray faux leather upholstery. With deep seats featuring Jackson’s Comfort Coil technology, tufted seats, and contrast welt stitching, the Hudson living room set provides buyers with sophisticated looks at a value price.
#15 | Jackson Furniture Middleton Collection
Coming in at #15, Jackson Furniture claims back-to-back slots on 2023’s best selling upholstery list. The Middleton sectional and ottoman set is ideal for a wide range of styles, but feels most at home in a transitional, casual farmhouse setting. While we carry the sectional in 2 piece and 3 piece variations, perhaps the best part of this sectional is the fact that it is fully modular. That means that shoppers can choose from a number of different modules to construct the sectional that’s just right for their space and their needs – whether that be corner wedges, armless loveseats or sofas, chaises, or a number of other right-arm-facing or left-arm-facing pieces.
#14 | Pipeline Living Room from West Coast Collection
#14 on our best selling upholstery collections from 2023 is a familiar face from 2022’s best selling sofa list – West Coast Collection’s Pipeline living room. The Pipeline Collection provides shoppers a stylish oversized aesthetic at an excellent value. Between the soft neutral gray color palette, oversize cushions, and casual laid-back design, the Pipeline Collection is sure to impress and add warm, welcoming vibes to your living space. Choose between a sofa, queen-size sleeper sofa, loveseat, chair and ½, and an ottoman.
#13 | England Furniture Anderson Casual Quartz Living Room
For fans of transitional styling, the delightful England Furniture Anderson Casual Quartz Living Room with cool, neutral Casual Quartz performance fabric from Revolution Fabrics is a customer favorite that we keep in stock and available. However, England Furniture is also arguably the best known custom upholstery manufacturer in the business, so keep in mind that pieces in the Anderson Collection can be custom ordered in a ton of different upholstery fabrics too! Additionally, while the Anderson Casual Quartz 3 piece sectional and 4 piece sectional are in stock and on display in our store, the matching chair, ottoman, sofa, and loveseat can all be special ordered.
#12 | Traemore Collection from BenchCraft by Ashley
Returning from our list of most popular sofas in 2022, this lovely yet affordable stationary living room set has made our best sellers list yet again in 2023. The Traemore Linen Collection from Ashley Furniture’s BenchCraft line is both elegant and simple. With a light and airy color palette and a casual farmhouse aesthetic, the Traemore living room set is perfect for any rustic, shabby chic, or countryside living space. Shoppers can choose from sofa, sleeper sofa, loveseat, chair and ½ and ottoman, or accent chair.
#11 | Simon Li Ashland Prairie Meadows Collection
Do you have a thing for antiques, home studies, and leather-bound books? Are you a fan of elegant, traditional, old world styles? If so, you’ll likely appreciate the Simon Li Ashland Prairie Meadows Collection. With slim rolled arms and brass nailhead trim, this sophisticated, hand-rubbed top grain leather upholstery is perfect for any formal living room or sitting room. Distinguished sofa shoppers can choose from a sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman, or high-leg push-back recliner.
#10 | Signature Design by Ashley Abinger Collection
Rounding out the top 10 of our best upholstered seating collections of 2023 is the Abinger Collection from Signature Design by Ashley. With sofa chaise sectional, sleeper sectional, sofa, sleeper sofa, loveseat, chair and two different ottomans to choose from, this massive upholstery collection has something for almost everyone at a value price. Did we mention that it’s available in both an off-white Creme chenille and a Smoke Gray chenille fabric?
#9 | Signature Design by Ashley Rawcliffe Collection
In case you haven’t noticed yet, neutral colors are still a big trend and so are oversized, deep, plush seats ideal for lounging about. That being said, we’ve got yet another living room set that fits that niche here at #9 – the Signature Design by Ashley Rawcliffe Collection. One of the key selling points is the soft feel of the ivory chenille microfiber upholstery. Another is the modular nature of this sectional sofa and ottoman set. Sectional shoppers can choose between the available 3 piece sectional and 4 piece sectional formats, or create their own by combining components of your choice.
#8 | Soft Line Madison Collection
Soft Line’s luxurious Madison Collection is certainly one of the most unique upholstered living room sets on this list. Between the brass nailhead trim, plush rolled arms, and rich buttery leather, the Madison Living Room is exactly what you’d expect from traditional, high quality, Italian leather upholstery. Which makes sense, because Soft Line is the real deal when it comes to handcrafted Italian leather furniture.
Furniture shoppers can currently find the Soft Line Madison sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman on our showroom floor in a beautiful tan Desert Sand leather and medium-brown Pecan. Oh, and did we mention that Soft Line’s Madison Collection has made our upholstery best seller’s list back-to-back years?
#7 | Fusion Furniture 7004 Durango Pewter Sectional
If you’re looking for a fashion-forward, fresh designer look, #7 on our list may just be perfect for you. Fusion Furniture’s 7004 Durango Pewter sectional features low seat backs, deep seats, loose cushions, flare tapered arms, and is currently available in a 4 piece and 5 piece configuration. Since Fusion Furniture’s 7004 frame is modular, there are a number of different layouts to choose from. You can even put a left-arm-facing chair and right-arm-facing chair together to make a loveseat, or add an armless chair between them to build a 3-seat sofa. In addition to the light gray Durango Pewter fabric you see here, this frame is available in 17 other fabric combinations for those who like to build their sofa from scratch.
#6 | Soft Line Dallas Chestnut Collection
Just like Soft Line’s Madison Desert Sand upholstery above, the Soft Line Dallas Chestnut Collection is handcrafted with 100% top grain Italian leather. However, the design itself is decidedly more contemporary with its oversize cushions, larger seat depth, square arms, block feet, and rectangular shape. Need room to entertain? This collection includes 3 piece and 4 piece sectionals with a variety of left-arm-facing and right-arm-facing pieces. However, don’t forget the large square ottoman, sofa, loveseat, and oversized chair.
#5 | Signature Design by Ashley Maggie Collection
Time for the Top 5! The next collection on 2023’s best sellers list is proof positive that minimalistic contemporary design doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. The Maggie Collection from Signature Design by Ashley consists of a sofa, loveseat, oversized accent chair and ottoman. Depending on the color palette in your home, Ashley Furniture’s Maggie Living Room also gives shoppers two color choices – an off-white, beige color called Birch, or a darker grayish taupe called Flax.
#4 | Leather Italia Newport Collection
Coming in at #4 is the Leather Italia Newport Camel Leather Collection. Upholstered in a lovely, caramel, semi-aniline leather, this seating collection from Leather Italia has earned its place on 2023’s best sellers list. In fact, this beautiful set was on 2022’s best selling sofas list as well. With square edges and slim track arms, this mid-century modern leather set practically screams “sophistication”. And no, “camel” is just the color, not the hide it’s made from. Choose from a 3 piece sectional, 4 piece sectional, sofa, loveseat, chair or ottoman.
#3 | Ardsley Collection from BenchCraft by Ashley
Do you have a large living space or great room to furnish? Are you frequently playing host and entertaining family, friends and neighbors? Do you want the flexibility to configure your seating any way you please? #3 on 2023’s best selling upholstery list may be just the ticket.
The Ardsley Collection from BenchCraft by Ashley is centered on a casual, comfortable, modular sectional sofa with optional oversized ottoman. The highlight has to be the textured gray chenille upholstery and the dozen included decorative pillows. Oh, and the fact that it can seat just about as many guests as you need.
Get it as a 3 piece sectional. Get it as a 4 piece sectional. For that matter, get it as a massive 5 piece sectional. But don’t stop there! Choose between left-arm-facing or right-arm-facing sofas, loveseats or chaises, and then add as many armless chairs or armless loveseats as needed to fill your space.
#2 | Behold Home Bailey Sectional & Ottoman
With seating for at least six and a high-value, budget-friendly price, this sectional and storage ottoman combo were extremely popular with our customers last year. That’s exactly why the Behold Home Bailey Collection is 2023’s runner-up for best selling upholstered living room set.
The Behold Home Bailey Sectional is comfy and inviting, and the curved track arms give it an adaptable, transitional style. Meanwhile, the sofa chaise on one side gives this sectional a U-shape and a larger footprint (and more seating) than you’d expect from a 2 piece sectional. Finally, the storage ottoman is a great solution for storing blankets, seasonal pillows, or other items. This collection is currently available in Cream and Charcoal.
#1 | Soft Line Splendor Chestnut Collection
We’ve reached the end of our countdown and are proud to present Soft Line’s Splendor Chestnut Collection as our best selling upholstered living room set for 2023! However, to those of us here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, it’s no surprise whatsoever to see this gorgeous Italian leather seating at the top of this list. So what do our customers love about Soft Line and their Splendor Chestnut living room set?
Soft Line makes authentic Italian leather sofas, sectionals, loveseats, chairs and ottomans – and they handcraft them in Italy the old-fashioned way. But since they’re a hidden gem in the industry, you won’t pay high-fashion designer mark-ups either. Their premium leather, quality craftsmanship, and value are all top-tier.
The Splendor Chestnut Collection features clean lines, track arms, block feet, and kiln-dried hardwood frame upholstered in 100% top grain Italian leather. This collection in particular is popular with our shoppers because of its versatility and range of options. The Splendor Chestnut sectional is available as a 2 piece sofa chaise (or “chofa”) format, or in larger L-shaped 3 piece and 4 piece sectional variants. Add the large square ottoman to complete the look as an alternative to a coffee or cocktail table. Lastly, Soft Line also crafts the Splendor Chestnut sofa, sleeper sofa, loveseat, and chair for those whose living space may not accommodate a large sectional.
