Where to shop for the best quality sofas in Australia

Where to shop for the best quality sofas in Australia

As one of the biggest pieces of furniture in your home, a sofa can make or break your interior aesthetic. After all, a sofa ties a room together in a way no other piece can. So what’s the best sofa in Australia? Here, we take a look at some great sofas and couches sold in Australia for modern, elegant, and Pinterest-worthy homes.

Sofa vs couch: What’s the difference?

Before we dive into the list, let’s set things straight. While the words “sofa” and “couch” are pretty much interchangeable these days, there is actually a difference between the two. 

One big distinction between sofas and couches is the presence (or lack thereof) of arms. Sofas have arms while couches traditionally do not – it’s that simple! Another obvious difference is their seating capacities. A couch is usually smaller, seating only two to three people, whereas a sofa is capable of holding four or more guests. 

Lastly, sofas and couches have different functions. While you can lounge around on armrest-less and comfortable couches, a standard sofa is meant for a more formal, sitting affair. 

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s check out some of the best Australian-made sofas on the market!

The best quality sofas in Australia

10. Sleeping in style with Oz Design’s Kent 

This is known as one of the brand’s cheapest sofas. But while cheap, the folks here deliver pieces that are fresh and incredibly versatile too. The Kent can be bought as a chair, a two-seater, a three-seater chaise option, and a modular or sofa bed. Another plus is the reversible seat cushions!

The best part? You can get it for the ultra-low price of $AUD1,299 on their website!

9. Oz Design’s comfortable leather Boston sofa

#moodboardmonday | Today's mood board inspo via @liz.amaya.style features a contemporary cooling palette 💙 Shown here is the ever-popular Melbourne Chaise featuring Cosmo fabric in 'Pumice' - a soft grey fabric with a beautiful texture. Liz says this type of pairing is perfect for the minimalist who loves simple and calming tones in their home. Fun fact - These colours have been known to slow breathing rate, relax muscles, lower blood pressure and make you feel more relaxed overall. The stronger the colour, the more intense this "cooling" effect tends to be on the body.

7. Carlton by Plush: Your home spa

Have you ever wanted to recreate the zen-ness of spas in your home? With a smooth leather cover, a lumbar support feature, ultra-soft arm pillows, and recliner functions, the Carlton is the best comfort lounge you could ever ask for. 

We suggest you get this bad boy from their website at $AUD3,800!

The Carlton | With up to 50% off right now, we think this is one you should add to your new sofa shortlist! Even classic recliners can be stylish and our Carlton is beloved for a reason. It looks amazing in leather or fabric.

6. Retro classic sofas by The Sofa King

Though they haven’t produced a new unit since 2017, the unique corner sofas of The Sofa King have marked a serious change in the classic design of sofas. Sleek, clean, modern – these words encapsulate The Sofa King’s design ethos.

See the designs on their Facebook page.

5. The rustic-chic Ruby by Secret Sofa

Made of 100 percent natural leather, Secret Sofa’s Ruby is a sophisticated piece that won’t break the bank. Selling for just under $AUD1,700, this sofa is a steal! There is one minor downside though. The sofa only comes in one colour, Brumby-Naturale – but that’s a small price to pay for the quality you get.

You can get this from their website for just $AUD1,699!

4. The sleek and sultry Stanley by Arthur G

Arthur G has been selling timeless, elegant furniture since 1979, so you can always expect well-crafted couches from the shop. One of their most inviting sofas is the Stanley, a “modern and streamlined [sofa] with a subtle curve”. 

With a solid timber body, high-density premium foam, and Victorian ash and American oak legs, “Stanley is a sofa with presence”. Prices for their products are not shown on their website — but you can browse their catalogue or visit their head office in Huntingdale, Victoria.

3. Classic meets the ‘80s with Arthur G’s Claude

2. Concerto by King Living: The curved sofa you never knew you needed

What makes this Australian-made sofa unique (and valued at a steep price of $AUD6,890 on their website) is that it offers modular sofa flexibility – meaning you can customise it to make it your own.

This designer sofa also has several unique features. Our favourite? The wide timber shelves that can store your books and hold your coffee. The shelves come in four timber colours: Congo, smoked oak, American walnut, or natural oak.

You can also choose from an array of premium fabrics or European leather coverings to suit your style and home’s design.

1. Zaza by King Living: The sofa that gives you the freedom to choose

It’s easy to see why the brand is called “King Living”. With their adjustable backrests and armchairs, you have the freedom to personalize the Zaza in every use. Designed by award-winning Australian designer Charles Wilson, the Zaza makes you feel like royalty.

It comes with the brand’s patented PostureFlex Seating System which not only maintains the form of the sofa throughout the years but also supports your entire body when you sit. Let’s not forget that it also comes with a 25-year warranty for its steel frame!

Though it comes at a full price of $AUD5,412, you can get it on sale from their website for as low as $AUD2,850!
