I fell in love with this sofa as soon as I tried it out when it first launched in autumn 2025. It's Sofa.com's deepest sofa style – and also one of the deepest sofas I've ever tested, which makes it perfect for lounging and curling up. The Sloane is also completely modular which is a huge benefit. The super spacious corner module is definitely the prime spot that you might have to fight over with the rest of your family.

The Goliath is one of the most lounge-worthy sofas I've ever tried – so much so that I didn't even want to get up and leave when trying it at a Furniture Village store. And while this applies to several of the sofas on this list, this one is one of the most affordable designs on this list. Given the large size of corner sofas, they're not the cheapest – but this style's price point is decent in my opinion. And the hidden storage drawer in the arm is just genius!

Pros
- Storage drawers concealed in sofa arms
- Affordable price point for a corner sofa
- Comfortable deep seats

I'm a big fan of unique sofa designs – and that's exactly what the Lozenge delivers with its curved, organic shape which really shines the bigger the sofa size. That's why I love this corner configuration. It's not a soft and cushiony type of sofa but I appreciate the support it provided when I tried this sofa, without it being uncomfortable or hard whatsoever. On the contrary!

What the editors say
I own a slightly different configuration of this very sofa – but I've also had the pleasure of sitting on the corner arrangement. I couldn’t be happier with my sofa, but if I had the space I would definitely go for a bigger size like this corner number. The design is definitely modern with a low profile and a curved shape which might not be for everyone. But the ability to change the covers is a great benefit – I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers two different upholstery finishes.

What the editors say
Even though I'm personally not one to seek out super soft sofas that you can sink into, I really enjoyed the cloud-like feeling of this luxury sofa design. Andrew Martin achieved this soft, almost floating feeling with the goose feather and down filling of the sofa seat and back cushions – or rather with the many air pockets formed between each of the feathers.

Sofa Club's Marylebone sofa style reminds me of a few other modular designs from other brands, for example Swyft's Model 03 which I also rate very highly. But when it comes to the corner configurations of this sofa, I prefer them over some of its lookalikes because of the closed-end design which is so much more comfortable than the alternative. However, if that's more to your liking, Sofa Club offers that, too. And all with next-day delivery!

Castlery only launched in the UK last autumn which is when I had the pleasure of trying some of its most stylish sofas, including the Solari which instantly caught my eye with its uniquely curved design reminiscent of the Soho Home style. But it's priced much more affordably than the aforementioned luxury home brand. And I love the speckled green upholstery finish which is also spill-resistant.

When I visited the Darlings of Chelsea showroom in London, I had two clear favourite sofas – the Kingston which is in our best modular sofas guide, and the Purley. The Purley has extremely deep seats which are perfect for the likes of a cinema room, or at least a cinema room experience. And a corner sofa - or a U-shaped one - also lends itself perfectly to that setting.

Schplendid is a new sustainable sofa brand which uses only natural, eco-friendly materials when making its sofas, started by the founder of Sofa.com and Pooky lighting. This sustainable approach to sofa making is not common – and I was glad to see that the likes of the Wee Bonnie here are not only great for the environment, but also the person that owns and sits on it as I have done. The modular design, which looks and feels particularly great as this L-shaped corner configuration, is both super comfortable and very chic.

What the editors say
When it comes to Swyft, which is a sofa brand I'm very fond of, I've been known to champion the Model 03 sofa. But if a corner sofa is what you're after, it's actually the Model 06 that I'd recommend. It's also a modular sofa like the Model 03, but the presence of armrests and the scatter cushions the Model 06 comes with makes it perfect for a corner sofa configuration like this one.

If you're after a curved corner sofa that doesn't take too much space - like the aforementioned John Lewis Lozenge for example - then King Living's Aura would be my top pick. The modular design which launched only last summer in the UK lends itself perfectly to a corner configuration and because the seat is notsuper deep it can work in a smaller living space. It is a more supportive kind of sofa, rather than a sinking soft style. But again, I personally prefer that. It also comes with removable covers which you can change whenever you like and you can choose from over 200 colours and fabrics.

Reasons to buy a corner sofa
There are many benefits to getting a corner sofa for your living room. These are just the top ones.
1. Generous seating without cluttering
‘Corner sofas are one of the best ways to maximise seating without filling a room with multiple pieces of furniture,’ says John O’Leary, Swyft design director. ‘They naturally encourage conversation and create a more relaxed, social layout, making them ideal for modern living.’
Since corner sofas are bigger than most other sofa styles, they offer more seating space. But given the clever L shape, they take up less actual and visual space than if you were to go for two separate sofas instead.
2. Clever room dividing
If you’re looking for some clever open-plan living room ideas then investing in a corner sofa is one of the best places to start as it will perfectly zone the living space.
‘Corner sofas are particularly well suited to open-plan living spaces, where they can help define where the living area begins without the need for walls or partitions,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at Sofology. ‘By creating a natural boundary, they help make larger, open spaces feel more structured and inviting.’
3. Taking advantage of underutilised space
Corner sofas are also great because they utilise the space that often goes underutilised – the corner. And since a corner sofa slots into corners so well, it also makes for a great small living room sofa idea.
‘People often assume corner sofas are only suited to large living rooms, but they can work just as well in more compact spaces. Positioned correctly, they can actually make a room feel more efficient by using corners that might otherwise be underutilised,’ John at Swyft says.
How to choose a corner sofa
Aside from the general things to consider when choosing any type of sofa that you want to last - as a sofa should last for years to come - with corner sofas, one of the biggest things to consider is the scale.
As already mentioned, corner sofas are bigger than most but there are such things as ‘small corner sofas’, too. So just make sure you choose a style that fits your living space and doesn’t overwhelm it.
‘The best style of corner sofa depends on the layout of the room, the flow of the space and the position of key focal points such as a TV, fireplace or windows. In smaller rooms, a classic L-shaped design tucked into a corner can maximise floor space, while larger living areas may benefit from a sweeping curved sofa that creates a striking centrepiece,’ Julia at Sofology advises.
She adds, ‘In smaller living rooms, choosing a corner sofa with a lower back can help create a sense of openness, making the room feel larger while still providing plenty of space to stretch out.’
John at Swyft concludes, ‘The key is choosing a design with considered proportions so it enhances the room rather than dominates it. A well-designed corner sofa should make a space feel more inviting, not more crowded.’
