Styles for your Pottery Barn sofa makeover

When you’re getting tired of the sight of your old sofa, perhaps all you need is a change. After all, your fully functional Pottery Barn sofa is still the same sofa inside – comfortable and uniquely yours.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 5 or 10 years old. It’s never too late to give your sofa a makeover. Transform your Pottery Barn sofa into something that looks good, yet still feels (and smells) the same.

And we’re telling you that your old Pottery Barn sofa can look however you want it to look.

Here at Comfort Works, we’re unlocking many possibilities to your old sofa in ways that you never thought was achievable.

What style could your Pottery Barn sofa possibly be?

  1. Classic
  2. Simple
  3. Modern (keeping up with the times)
  4. Eclectic
  5. Easy (to maintain)

Classic

Unable to picture your Pottery Barn couch in something else other than the classic look? That’s okay, a sofa makeover doesn’t have to be big. We could stick with what you like best, so let’s get back to what you know:

Pottery-Barn-Basic-brown-textured-weave-sofa-covers

Get the look for your Pottery Barn Basic Grand with our Textured Weave Khaki couch covers in the Classic style, just like how our customer, Robert did. Its resistance to abrasion makes it suitable for high-traffic usage. This means that whether you’re one to always use the couch or have an active family with 5 kids, the Textured Weave is able to withstand all your daily activities.

PB-Basic-Sleeper-Brushed-White-Cotton-sofa-covers-long-skirt

Go for the same style for your PB Basic Sleeper, but with a softer fabric – Brushed Cotton White. Stonewashed for a silky smooth touch, this is as luxurious as cotton can get. Once you’ve gotten these covers, you’ll want to sink into your couch all of the time.We sure hope our customer, Fabiola is happily using her sleeper sofa!

What’s more? Our Brushed Cotton fabrics have been pre-shrunk, so they won’t shrink even after you wash them. Made out of 100% cotton, this fabric is resilient to all the snuggling, cuddling and boisterous play that your kids are into.

If this couch cover gets dirty, it’s alright. Simply remove it (as easily as how you slipped it on) and put them into the washer.

A cherry on top: Our Brushed Cotton sofa covers are all-natural and certified free from harmful chemicals with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, so it’s safe for kids and those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Get them in 4 neutral shades: Sand, Ash, Coal & White

Simple

Don’t like things that are too complicated? Stay simple with the Cotton Canvas White couch covers, just like our customer, Mia’s:

Pottery-Barn-sofa-white-cotton-sofa-covers

There are reasons why the Cotton Canvas collection is one of our best-selling couch covers – it’s suitable for high traffic usage and frequent washing. It also gets softer and more comfortable with use. Which couch owner wouldn’t be happy to hear that?

Similar to Brushed Cotton, our Cotton Canvas fabrics also carry the Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX certification. You’re not only keeping your family safe, you’re actually making an environmentally-friendly choice as the OEKO-TEX certification meets a strict set of environmental criteria which go beyond the necessary legal requirements.

“If I could, I would give this company more stars.”

Thank you so much, Kim!

Available in 13 colours, you’re spoiled for choice if the Textured Weave is what you fancy for your Pottery Barn sofa makeover.

Modern (keeping up with the times)

Choose a snug fit for your Pottery Barn Greenwich to replicate the look of modern-style sofas. Our customer, Chuck, has a good eye for choosing the Brushed Cotton White because the soft texture goes so well with the cosiness of the room.

Another way to keep your sofa relevant to the times is by making it smarter with a built-in USB charger. How it works is that you connect an extension cable from the nearest socket to the port that’s sewn into the sofa cover, then you can charge your device while using it on the sofa.

We really try our best to make life easier for you in every way, okay?

Eclectic

Our Textured Weave in Sunset may not be the conventional sofa cover that people usually go for, but we like how Vicki transformed her PB Basic Chaise into one that’s her style. As easy as 1, 2, 3, she gave her sofa a makeover and turned this space into her little reading corner.

How to choose the perfect sofa colour for your home

Easy (to maintain)

No. We don’t mean making your sofa look easy. We mean if someone messes up your sofa with spills, it’s easy to clean. 

One of our best-sellers, the Performance Weave, is nano-coated to resist liquids, so stains and spills roll off instead of soaking in. Whether it’s coffee, tea, wine, or ice cream, dabbing the spill gently with a towel will easily remove all residues. The stain-resistant function of the Performance Weave also ensures that there will be no stain left behind.

Read what nano-coating is and watch how it performs to get a better understanding of how it works – just like magic. 

Pottery-Barn-Comfort-Roll-Arm-Yellow-sofa-covers

Your Pottery Barn Comfort Roll Arm could look like this for years. Maintain its glory with simple upkeep, thanks to nano-coating. But one thing we know for sure, is that Abdul is loving his Performance Weave Amber couch covers, a lot.

By transforming your sofa, you’re not just getting an upgrade in terms of its looks, but also its functionality. You’re basically creating a sofa cover that works for you and your lifestyle.

Crate and Barrel’s Best Deep Couches

This article is for people who love deep couches.

If “I’M NEVER GETTING UP FROM THIS COUCH!” is what you’d like to say about your next couch, you’re at the right place.

We’ve rounded up 3 of the best deep couches from Crate and Barrel, an international furniture company with over 100 stores and franchise partners globally. Crate and Barrel is known for offering high-quality products with exclusive designs and timeless styles, which you’ll be able to learn more about via this review of their best deep sofas.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  1. Crate and Barrel Lounge Deep Sofa
  2. Crate and Barrel Gather Deep Sofa
  3. Crate and Barrel Aris Deep Track-Arm Sofa

1. Crate and Barrel Lounge Deep Sofa

beige-crate-and-barrel-lounge-deep-sofa-in-living-room
Image credit: Crate & Barrel

Price: (2023) $1,799 – $2,299

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Durable
Lasts for years due to kiln-dried wood that prevents the wood from warping
Cushions are easily squashed
Needs daily fluffing to maintain plump cushions
Comfortable
The cushions are soft and great to lounge on
Stylish
Its simple yet modern design matches well with contemporary home interiors

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available from 73” to 105”

Seat depth: 29”

Who is it for: We’d say if you have a family with 3-4 people, this would be the perfect couch for you. The soft, plush cushions are made for people who love staying in and having movie nights – one for the couch potatoes! 

Feeling of the first sit: Nope, we are not getting up. The cushions are so soft and so good for lounging! It’s totally made for relaxing, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to get any work done while I lay down on this couch. I’ll either fall asleep or turn on the TV with my laptop aside.

Warranty: Crate and Barrel does not advertise any warranty on their website, but they do have a return policy for items within 90 days of receipt. 

What we think: It’s deep, alright – almost half the length of an average chaise lounge. As someone with a height of 5’6”, my feet are way off the ground when I sit at the innermost part of the seat. Although it’s deep, it comes in the smallest size of 73”, which fits great in small spaces. It’s great for small homes and for those who love lounging or cuddling with their loved ones. 

QUIZ TIME!

2. Crate and Barrel Gather Deep Sofa

Dark-grey-Crate-and-Barrel-Gather-Deep-Sofa
Image credit: Crate & Barrel

Price: (2023) $1,899 – $2,149

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Durable
Lasts for years due to kiln-dried wood that prevents the wood from warping
Average seat height
Could use a little more seat height for taller people
Stylish
Its simple yet modern design matches well with contemporary home interiors
GREENGUARD Gold Certified
Low chemical emission which contributes to cleaner indoor air for you and your family

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available in 76”, 88” and 98”

Seat depth: 28”

Who is it for: From people who live in apartments to spaces that are a little bigger, this Crate and Barrel deep sofa really works. The model is available in the smallest size of 76”, so you’re not getting the tiny sofas that are super space-saving (and cramped), but one that comes with a little more room and is more snuggly. You can lay comfortably, have some space to move around alone or with other people on this comfy deep couch.

Feeling of the first sit: Firm at the beginning, but it will eventually become softer as you break in the cushions. Even though the seat height is low, the back cushions are actually really high. If you’re on the taller side, you’d be able to get full support on your shoulders and back.

Warranty: Crate and Barrel does not advertise any warranty on their website, but they do have a return policy for items within 90 days of receipt. 

What we think: Firstly, we really like its design! It’s slim, with sleek and modern lines that fit well into our tastes in à la mode aesthetics. ✨ Its bouncy cushions are also on point. Just like its name suggests, it’s a sofa that you can gather on with people you’re comfortable with and have a good stay-in session. That, my friends, means you’re comfortable inside out. 

3. Crate and Barrel Aris Deep Track-Arm Sofa

Cream-coloured-Crate-and-Barrel-Aris-Deep-Track-Arm-Sofa
Image credit: Crate & Barrel

Price: (2023) $1,699 – 1,899

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Stylish
Modern-looking sofa with bolster pillows for that added sense of design
Average seat height
Could use a little more seat height for taller people
GREENGUARD Gold Certified
Low chemical emission which contributes to cleaner indoor air for you and your family

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available in 74”, 88” and 105”

Seat depth: 26.5”

Who is it for: The model with the smallest width – the Aris Apartment, suggests that it fits into apartment spaces where there are 2 to 3 people living together. If there are 3 to 4 people in the household, you can either pick the 88” Deep Sofa or the Grande to suit your needs. The Aris is different from the 2 mentioned above as it has firmer cushions that aren’t made for lounging. If you like your couch deep, yet without the sink-in feeling, then the Aris could just be the one for you. 

Feeling of the first sit: Alright, it’s prim-and-proper time! It definitely doesn’t make me want to lounge on it, but I could sit here all day and not worry about slouching. I could also see my friends sitting on this sofa with food and drinks steady in their hands because they wouldn’t sink into the cushions. 

Warranty: Crate and Barrel does not advertise any warranty on their website, but they do have a return policy for items within 90 days of receipt. 

What we think: Although the Aris has less depth compared to the Lounge and the Gather models, it’s still considered a deep sofa with great quality. Plus, we really love the bolster pillows that say “designer” while still adding a hint of cuteness to the couch. Furthermore, this is great for people who like their couch deep, but not to the point where it makes you feel lazy once you rest your body on it. We’re pretty sure the Aris will receive its fair share of love from people who are looking for sofas with its unique characteristics.

Have you already got an answer to which Crate and Barrel deep sofa you’re getting? If you’ve made the decision to do so, we’re sure there will be no regrets! That wouldn’t be our decision, though, because we have our reasons on why we wouldn’t buy a Crate and Barrel sofa.

5 Best Slipcovered Pottery Barn Couches

Pottery Barn couches are always known for their simple and classic designs that are able to easily fit into humble, unpretentious homes. With around 56 sofa collections, how do you determine which is the one for you?

Let’s face it, between a slipcovered couch and an upholstered couch, the slipcovered one is always the better option, especially if you’ve got clumsy adults, active children, drooling dogs and naughty cats. We’ve chosen 5 best slipcovered Pottery Barn couches to narrow it down for you.

You’re welcome.

As much as we love these Pottery Barn sofas, no sofa’s perfect. Take a look at our breakdown of what’s good and what’s not so good about these 5 best slipcovered Pottery Barn couches below:

1. PB Comfort Roll Arm Slipcovered Sofa

Pottery-Barn-Comfort-Roll-Arm-brown-sofa

Price: (2023) $1,529 – $5,000

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Plush & comfortable
Cushions are great for lounging
Awkward slipcovers
Pottery Barn’s original slipcovers can be hard to fit after washing

How to find a slipcover that fits your sofa?
Stylish 
Classic shape that fits into most home decor styles
Seat depth
If you like a cocooning couch experience, these seats may not be deep enough for you
Slipcoverable 
You can wash them or change up a new look every season

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available from 68” to 102”

Who is it for: Due to the different sizes that Pottery Barn offers, the PB Comfort Roll Arm Slipcovered Sofa can work for families of two to four. The classic design is great for those who’d rather have a more traditional, comfortable sofa than a modern-looking couch.

Feeling of the first sit: Right when you sit on it, it does feel firm, especially with memory foam cushions. But, if you choose the down blend, it feels softer and more luxurious.

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: The PB Comfort Roll Arm Slipcovered Sofa has a classic design that would fit in traditional or contemporary spaces, so we’d say it’s pretty flexible. 

Although we like that this model comes with slipcovers, the Pottery Barn original slipcovers can be a tad hard to slip on and take off. 

via GIPHY
Like, why wouldn’t it fit?!

Luckily, there are alternatives: perfect-fit slipcovers for PB Comfort Roll Arm that are easy to slip on and slip off. Easier slipcovers means time and effort saved, and an increased likelihood that you’ll wash your covers more often!

We also think the seat depth is questionable. For the widest option (102”), you’d expect the inside seating to be deeper, but, no, the depth is only 23.5” versus the others with 26” of depth. 

Personally, we love deep seats, so a shallow seat depth can be a deal-breaker. However, the final decision is still yours.

2. PB Basic Slipcovered Sofa

Pottery-Barn-Basic-Sofa

Price: $1,599 – $3,499

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Plush & comfortable
Cushions are great for lounging, especially down blend option
Seat depth
If you like a cocooning couch experience, these seats may not be deep enough for you 
Stylish 
Timeless design that goes with various home styles

Awkward slipcovers
Slipcovers are too loose for that “perfect fit” look and they fade easily

How to find a slipcover that fits your sofa?
Slipcoverable
You can wash them or change up a new look every season
Holds up well 
Air dried hardwood frame with mortise-and-tenon joinery makes it very strong and durable

Seats up to 2 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available in 60” and 82”

Who is it for: Any small household consisting of 1- 2 people are most likely to find this sofa practical. The size sits just right at a range of 60” to 82”, which is great for small living spaces. 

Feeling of the first sit: If you’ve opted for the polyester-wrapped cushions, the cushions will feel firm, but comfortable enough for you to sit and lounge for long hours. On the other hand, the down blend-wrapped cushions are soft and plush enough that it makes falling asleep on the sofa so easy. 

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: The PB Basic Slipcovered Sofa is just like its name – quite basic, but it satisfies the requirements of a better-than-average sofa for your home. It’s great for small families living in apartments. With the strongest structural joints made out of mortise-and-tenon, it means the couch is able to last you for around 6 years, perhaps even longer with good care! 

How to know if a sofa will last 

But, what may not be as long-lasting is the slipcovers. 

Depending on your lifestyle, your couch covers are going to be stained, scratched, faded and become loose over time, which is all really normal. Accidents can happen, but get the best sofa protection with our customised sofa covers for Pottery Barn that serve functions such as being claw-proof, liquid-resistant and temperature-regulating.

Available in bench seat & multi-seat
You’ve got options whether you like the cushions separated or not

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available from 60.5” to 95.5”

Who is it for: It fits a range of people – from families with 2 people to 4 adults. For couples who plan to or already have children, you can definitely grow your sofa together with your family. People who like the elegant yet casual look will find the Pottery Barn York Slipcovered Sofa a great match for their living space.

Feeling of the first sit: Soft yet supportive cushions, especially with the down blend option. The seats aren’t what I’d define as “deep” for myself just because I’m on the taller side, but many find the seats deep enough for their liking.

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: We absolutely love the design! It’s relaxed, yet it doesn’t lose its look of luxury. Wherever you place it, it’ll definitely bring a classy feel to the space (paired with the right type of slipcovers, of course). Linen slipcovers are often used to get a premium look for all ranges of sofas, so adding that touch to the York sofa will definitely get you a lot of compliments. Find out if linen is the right choice for your sofa.

4. Charleston Slipcovered Sofa

Price: (2023) $1,399 – $2,999

What’s goodWhat’s not so good
Slipcoverable
You can wash them or change up a new look every season
Easily wrinkled slipcovers
May need regular ironing and maintenance

Tip: Zero-iron quick fixes for wrinkled sofa slipcovers
Timeless design
Stylish, classic design for homes with a more traditional feel
Cushion durability
Cushions may need extra care to retain its fluff
Loose, scatter back cushions
That means you’re able to adjust them according to the way you want

Seats up to 3 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available from 71” to 96”

Who is it for: If you live alone, you’ve got a spacious couch all to yourself. If you have 2 to 3 people in the household, the Pottery Barn Charleston Slipcovered Sofa would be a good piece to invest in as well. For those who shy away from home interiors that are too trendy, the Charleston is your option because of its classic design that also articulates a sense of familiarity.

Feeling of the first sit: For those who prefer firmer cushions, the polyester-wrapped cushions offer just the right amount of comfort and support. It’s easy to fluff ‘em up because they bounce back into shape very quickly.

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: It’s simple and classic, yet it makes quite a statement in the living room. If you compare this with a sofa with less personality (like the IKEA Klippan, unless you hack it in these ways), you will definitely see a difference. Loose, scatter back cushions are great because it means you get to be flexible with the positions, but I personally prefer loose, standard back cushions just because they’re bigger and it just feels more in place (like how we expect life to be but it doesn’t always go that way).

5. Cameron Roll Arm Slipcovered Sofa

What’s good What’s not so good
Slipcoverable
You can wash them or change up a new look every season

Awkward slipcovers
Pottery Barn’s original slipcovers can be hard to fit after washing

How to find a slipcover that fits your sofa?
Holds up well 
Corner-blocked frame with mortise-and-tenon joinery makes it very strong and durable
Seat depth
The 20” depth is enough only for upright seating
Versatile design
Suitable for most kinds of interior, whether traditional or contemporary

Seats up to 4 adults (may vary according to person’s size)

Width: Available from 63” to 98”

Who is it for: From a small 1-person home to a family of 4 adults, the Cameron Slipcovered Sofa is made for almost anyone (who doesn’t like lounging). Firm seats also mean it’s made for people who are always hosting, so guests don’t have to worry about sinking into the sofa with their drinks in hand. But, of course, if they spill, we’d still have a solution for cleaning stains.

Feeling of the first sit: Firm and also sturdy, due to the strong structure of the sofa frame. But, similar to the York Slope Arm Slipcovered Sofa, it’s not meant to be a sofa for you to lay back and relax. 

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: The boxy back cushions say “modern”, but the little round arms seek to be different by adding a little of a classic look to the Cameron couch. This makes it easy to pick up this model because it would fit in homes that are modern or traditional. The armrest height adds to the fact that the Cameron couch isn’t for relaxing – that’s because it’s too high for you to rest your head against it if you are laying sideways on the couch. 

These are the 5 best slipcovered couches that we picked from Pottery Barn. Although they all have their pros and cons, they’re all really good couches that are well-known for their simple, elegant design and sturdy frames that could last for many years. When it comes to choosing the right Pottery Barn sofa for your home, you just have to decide based on how well the model fits into your lifestyle.

Best Pottery Barn Sleeper Sofas

Pottery Barn isn’t new, especially to those who have a thing for comfortable and classic couches. Since it was founded in 1949, the brand has made many public appearances in several sitcoms, including Friends and Boy Meets World.

Pottery Barn is known for its quality furniture, with many of them made out of kiln-dried hardwood frames which can withstand regular use over time. Furthermore, they come in various designs from traditional to contemporary, so there’s going to be something for everyone.

Pottery Barn’s sleeper sofas are no exception. But first, what is a sleeper sofa? A sleeper sofa is similar to a regular sofa, but it has an additional function – you can turn it into a bed for sleeping. Most of the time, it requires pulling out the bed frame from underneath the seat cushions and voila, you get a bed!

Pottery Barn’s sleeper sofas are designed with comfort in mind. They feature deep, plush cushions and comfortable mattresses, so they’re not only comfortable for lounging, but for sleeping as well.

With so many options available from Pottery Barn, which do you choose? We’ve got a few models that we have deemed “the best” so far (by our standards), so you don’t have to go through the hassle.

Note: This review is for those who love sleeping on their couches.

Who is it for: If you have a family with 1-2 small kids, this sofa is just the right size. And when you have guests coming over, turn it into a queen-size bed for them to stay the night. It’s also a great choice if you like a classic sofa in your living room.

Feeling of the first sit: Right when you sit on it, it does feel firm, especially with memory foam cushions. But, if you choose the down blend, it feels softer and more luxurious.

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: The PB Comfort Roll Arm Slipcovered Sleeper sofa has a classic design that would fit in traditional or contemporary spaces, so we’d say it’s pretty flexible. Its soft and supportive cushions are also great for sleeping, especially when you have guests sleeping over for the night. PLUS, if things get messy, you can always remove the slipcovers, give them a wash and slip ‘em back on.

  • Queen mattress: 60″ w x 80″ l x 5″ t

Who is it for: The size of the sofa is suitable for families with up to 2 children. If you’re looking for something that’s closer to modern than traditional, the PB York Slope Arm Deep Seat Slipcovered Side Sleeper is definitely something you can consider. One good thing about the side sleeper is if your young child happens to fall asleep on the sofa, you can just sleep on the outer side and you won’t be worried about them falling off.

Feeling of the first sit: It’s on the softer side of the scale and the depth could mean that your feet may not be able to touch the ground if you have an average height. Once the mattress is opened up, the height is reduced to 19”, which is significantly closer to the ground.

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: The soft cushion and deep seats make it perfect for lounging. It’s definitely not a sofa that you can sit upright on for serious work mode. It’s more of a laid back sofa that requires you to lay back and relax. When you turn it into a mattress, the firmness of the memory foam makes it decent for sleeping for a night or two.

Who is it for: Families with 1-2 kids and a moderate-sized apartment will find this couch perfect. While it is able to fit the 3 or 4 of you, it also doesn’t take as much space as some of the wider couches out there. If you can’t seem to settle on one end of the spectrum (classic versus contemporary), the PB Pearce Sleeper Sofa is perfect because it sits just right in the middle of both. 

Feeling of the first sit: The medium-soft, down-blend wrapped cushions make you want to lounge on them. Furthermore, the deep seat cushions and high seat height makes it great for tall and short people alike who love lounging. 

Warranty: Pottery Barn allows a 30-day window for returns, but this does not apply to custom, made-to-order products. There is also no warranty for Pottery Barn furniture.

What we think: We like how versatile its style is, where it can fit within more than one type of interior. The high seat also works for people who don’t want too much pressure on their knees as they bend down to sit on the sofa. The mattress height of the Pearce is the same as the sofa, so it’s easier to get on the mattress as well.

The Pottery Barn sleeper sofas mentioned are available mostly in neutrals but also in darker tones and even a pop of red. Their slipcovers might not be suitable for everyone – take a look at our Pottery Barn sleeper sofa replacement covers.
