The Best Pit Sectional Sofas for Ultimate Relaxation

Sink into these cloud-like cushions, which GH panelists called warm and soft during testing for the best sectional sofas. Albany Park's modular pieces arrive in easy-to-move boxes, and you don't need additional tools for set up. Not to mention, the brand offers free shipping and any-reason returns.

While this pick is not customizable (possibly a pro for those who want a sofa faster), there's an option to choose an ottoman with or without storage. Plus, there's a number of fabric choices like woven textures in neutral hues (beige, charcoal, white and gray) and velvet in trendier shades (think rust, blue and mustard), so you can still personalize this cloud-soft pick to complement your space.

If you're decorating a small living room, this budget-friendly sectional will help maximize your space. Every seat includes hidden storage space, ideal for blankets, pillows, board games and more. Depending on your living room layout, choose from two-, three- and four-seater sofas and how many ottomans you'd like. Prices range between $600 and $1,000.

The modular design allows you to rearrange it regularly, rotating between a spacious sectional and cozy couch bed. Added bonus? All the couch covers, available in beige and gray, are removable and machine-washable.

Make a statement with this six-piece modular sectional that's easy to assemble and arrange, according to online reviewers.

Overall, online reviewers are impressed with the appearance, quality and low cost. "Amazing for the price and so comfortable," says one. Choose from dark gray and olive green (remember green couches are popular right now!).

Castlery's Dawson pit sectional, popular for its deep, feather-filled cushions and modern style, is a gorgeous addition to any interior.

A comfortable, modern sectional sofa for less than $1,000 is almost unheard of — yet, there's this stylish pick from Wayfair. It has six modular pieces, which can be reconfigured into a sectional sofa with a detached ottoman or a bed-like, pit sectional. While online reviewers found that the sofa looks large, it's only 104" wide (smaller than the average sectional size), so it can accommodate tighter living room layouts as well.

Another great perk? Wayfair will deliver this inexpensive sofa for free relatively fast. The only downside is there's only two neutral color options: gray and beige.

On top of delivering a cozy feel, the Harmony Pit Sectional has a stylish look and can be customized in over 100 different fabrics (including basketweave, velvet and linen).

Another great choice for small spaces, this sleek sectional lounger from Burrow is only 91.5" wide and is delivered in compact boxes (great for narrow, apartment hallways). Online reviewers love that the low profile and deep seat setup can be reconfigured to fit their space. One writes, "Each section is easy to assemble and combine. The instructions were simple to follow as well. The boxes weren’t too heavy where I couldn’t bring them inside by myself."

The brand will also send you up to five free swatches, so you can be sure to settle on the perfect shade.

Another great attribute of this modern sofa: Each cover can be removed and machine washed (genius for households with kids and pets). The brand allows you to customize nearly everything, from the fabric color and fill material to arm style. Some testers did note that this sofa is difficult to assemble.

Although this modular sofa only has four pieces, online reviewers agree it feels large and spacious. It can be converted from a traditional sectional into an extra-long sofa, then into a pit sectional with ease. Reviewers found the deep seats to be comfortable and confirm the corduroy fabric is soft. One writes, "It’s so deep that you kind of have to climb in (5'3" person)."
