9 Sustainable Modular Sectional Sofas For 2024 (Review)

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

We’ve relaxed on sustainable sectionals with our families for years — these are our favorites that are eco-friendly, durable, and comfy.

Many of our most beloved childhood memories involve curling up on the couch with our parents or snuggling into their laps to watch movies or old home videos. And the sofa we most often remember cuddling on? A good ol’-fashioned sectional couch.

Sectional couches are modular sofa pieces that are bigger than loveseats or individual chairs; they’re perfect for lounging, entertaining, or just laying out across with a good book (guilty.) But these larger couches are sizable investments (ha!) and ones you’ll be using for years to come, which is why we’re bringing you the most sustainable sectional couches that live up to our standards.

What certifications should you look for in a sustainable sectional?

When searching for a sustainable sectional, it’s important to consider various certifications and labels that ensure the piece meets environmental and ethical standards, and is safe for use in your home. Numerous sectionals and modular couches can harbor detrimental chemicals like flame retardants, formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which release into the air and can cause indoor air pollution.

To avoid this, look for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certifications to verify responsible wood sourcing. Additionally, certifications like Cradle to Cradle, GREENGUARD, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 ensure the product’s overall environmental, and health and safety performance. Fair Trade certification guarantees fair labor practices, while ISO 14001 certification indicates an effective environmental management system is met within the manufacturing process. By prioritizing these certifications, you can confidently select a sectional that aligns with your sustainability values and promotes environmentally conscious practices.

P.S.: Check out the icons below each of our listed brands for the details on which certifications each of these sustainable furniture companies carry!

Customer Review | “Been dreaming about this Bondi sofa for YEARS!!! Finally pulled the trigger and I am in LOVE. We have a year to try it so I will keep you posted. What I LOVE about it is that it is pet friendly, water resistant, machine washable, modular AND I can order covers in different colors! The sofette sectional is perfect for our small living space. The cushions are definitely wider than I pictured, which I love because it makes the sofa feel way bigger when you’re lounging. My dog jumped right up and found her spot! She approves!” – Fanny (Read all reviews.)

The couch fits our space really well. The furniture is beautiful, the fabric is amazing and I’m so glad we got the covers. It was 42 degrees outside when we first tried them out. Oh so comfy and better than expected. We love laying on them next to our outdoor fire. We love that they are wide enough that we can snuggle next to each other as we could not do that on our other couch. Best decision we ever made.” – Debra D. (Read all reviews.)

I looked at countless furniture stores and not one sofa came close to comparing. I feel better knowing I purchased a safer solution for a healthier home as well. Bravo!” – Brandon M.
