If you’ve been searching online for a Joybird chair, Joybird sofa, or to find Joybird furniture reviews, you’re in the right place. As a retail partner with Joybird, we’d love to answer some of the most common questions we hear from customers in store and online about this popular brand. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about Joybird.
Who or What Is Joybird Furniture?
Joybird is best known for its clean-lined, mid-century-inspired upholstered seating. Founded in 2014 as a direct-to-consumer furniture brand, Joybird was acquired shortly after by La-Z-Boy in 2018. Joybird made its name as an online-only brand offering customizable sofas, chairs, sectionals and more delivered straight to your door.
While Joybird still sells direct-to-consumers on their website, for many shoppers there’s nothing quite like being able to sit on a sofa, loveseat, sectional or chair before making a purchasing decision. As a result, Joybird very recently began partnering with furniture retailers like Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet to make their brand more accessible to consumers.
Joybird’s catalog includes a variety of pieces for the living room, bedroom, home office, and dining room. But their specialty is and always has been upholstered seating – think sleek sofas and loveseats, modular sectionals, accent chairs, ottomans, recliners, and more. Their modern silhouettes and broad customization options make Joybird especially popular among shoppers who want to personalize their furniture with a wide range of fabric colors and materials.
Joybird vs La-Z-Boy: What’s the Difference?
Since Joybird is a La-Z-Boy company, many shoppers find themselves wondering how the two brands compare. Here’s a brief side-by-side comparison:
- Products: Both brands are proud specialists of upholstered seating, with La-Z-Boy being arguably the most well-known brand in the industry. Joybird is much newer on the upholstery scene, but also sells a number of casegoods for the rest of the home. Parent company La-Z-Boy Incorporated does make casegoods, but they are not sold under the La-Z-Boy brand name.
- Style: Joybird leans heavily into contemporary and mid-century modern design, while La-Z-Boy offers a broader range of styles ranging from traditional, transitional, and contemporary.
- Customization: While both brands offer some customization options, Joybird has built their business off of their broad palette of customizable bold, trendy fabric colors and upholstery materials.
- Buying Experience: Joybird originally started as an online-only brand and to a degree still focuses on direct-to-consumer sales, while La-Z-Boy has a larger retail footprint with more physical stores and showrooms.
- Comfort & Construction: While both brands prioritize comfort and craftsmanship, La-Z-Boy is known specifically for its traditional reclining comfort and proprietary mechanisms. Joybird, by contrast, emphasizes style-forward seating that tends to be sleeker and sit firmer.
While the two brands share a parent company, they serve different types of customers. If you want customizable, design-forward seating with modern flair, Joybird may be the better fit for you. If you prefer plush, classic recliners and motion seating, La-Z-Boy might be more your speed. We’ll dive deeper into whether Joybird is the right fit for you below.
What Kind of Products Does Joybird Offer?
While Joybird is best known for their upholstered furniture, the brand offers a full catalog of products, including:
- Sofas, Sectionals & Loveseats
- Accent Chairs & Recliners
- Coffee Tables, Side Tables & Consoles
- TV Stands & Storage Pieces
- Beds, Dressers & Nightstands
- Dining Tables & Chairs
- Desks & Office Chairs
Most of Joybird’s pieces are designed with a modern or mid-century modern aesthetic in mind. Think tapered legs, bold upholstery colors, tufted cushions, and clean lines. Joybird also offers an extensive range of fabric options — including easy-to-clean, stain-resistant performance fabrics designed to weather the chaos of daily life.
Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we mostly carry Joybird upholstery — both stationary and reclining, custom-order and in stock — along with a selection of Joybird accent consoles and occasional tables (i.e. coffee tables, end tables and side tables). As a result, upholstered seating like sectionals, sofas, couches, loveseats and chairs are what we’ll be focusing on today.
Is Joybird Good Quality?
Joybird furniture is generally considered by consumers to be good quality, with lots of features for the price — especially in terms of style and customization. They specialize in providing shoppers with custom designer looks without the high-end designer price tag. They also have a manufacturer’s warranty that stacks up well against other similar brands in the upholstery market.
Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we consider Joybird to be a solid, mid-tier upholstery brand. However, as with any brand, there are pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses, and additional factors to consider.
Strengths:
- Stylish Designs: Joybird's modern and retro-inspired pieces are visually appealing and on-trend.
- Customization: Additionally, a wide range of fabric options lets you create upholstered seating that precisely fits the color, texture and function you envision for your living space.
- Sustainable Practices: Joybird uses responsibly-sourced materials and has a made-to-order production model that reduces unnecessary waste.
- Manufacturer Warranty: Joybird’s manufacturer warranty package includes a limited lifetime warranty on some components, and either 1-year or 3-year warranties on others. Read more on the Joybird warranty below.
Things to Consider:
- Comfort is Subjective: The sleek modern design of most Joybird pieces means that occasionally customers find Joybird’s seating a bit too firm for their liking, especially if they’re used to more plush, traditional sofas.
- Lead Times: Since most items are made to order, delivery can take longer than when buying in-stock merchandise.
- Assembly: If ordered directly from Joybird, many pieces are delivered curbside and require some minimal assembly. For Joybird purchased from Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, you will have access to all of our delivery options.
So, is Joybird furniture good quality? Yes — especially if style and customization are top priorities for you. Just make sure to review product specs carefully and consider your personal comfort preferences beforehand.
Where Is Joybird Furniture Made?
All Joybird furniture is designed in-house at their headquarters in Los Angeles, while their operations are centered a short drive south at their San Diego distribution center. The majority of Joybird furniture is manufactured just across the border in Tijuana, Mexico at a facility owned and operated by its parent company, La-Z-Boy.
However, some Joybird products are indeed made in the USA. For instance, here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, all of the Joybird upholstered seating frames we currently carry are manufactured right next door at a La-Z-Boy facility in Tennessee. This is what allows us to have such a quick turnaround from custom order placement to customer delivery.
Thanks to their manufacturing model, Joybird maintains more control over its production process compared to brands that rely heavily on importing from third-party factories. This allows them to offer consistent craftsmanship and customized furniture at a competitive price point. Please note that some of Joybird's casegoods, materials and other components may be sourced globally from factories in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, China and India.
What Is Joybird’s Manufacturer Warranty?
Joybird products include the following warranties:
- Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers frames, bases, legs, joints and hardware.
- 3-Year Limited Warranty covering springs and bed-slats.
- 1-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturer’s defects or shipping damage on fabrics, leathers, cushions, mechanisms, electrical components, seams, tufting, wood stains and finishes and sleeper mattresses.
Let’s Review: Is Joybird a Good Fit for Me?
Joybird could be a great fit for you if:
- You love mid-century modern or contemporary design
- You want lots of custom fabric and personalization options
- You don’t mind waiting a few weeks for made-to-order furniture
Joybird may not be the best fit if:
- You prefer traditional styles or ultra-plush seating
- You’re looking for faster delivery or in-stock furniture
- You want to see and sit on furniture before you buy
However, if the last couple bullet points are key concerns for you and you live in Metro Atlanta or elsewhere in North Georgia — don’t you worry! We’ve got a solution for you that will allow you to see and sit on a Joybird chair or sofa before you place an order, and to receive delivery as quickly as any other custom-order upholstery on the market.
