Honest Review of the Cozey Couch

We bought a couch from cozey about 2 years ago. For context, we got the Cozey Original (now called Altys) in a 3-seater with a chaise, in light grey (now called Fog). It is our daily couch, in a home of two adults and a dog. Feel free to ask me any questions if I don’t cover it. We mainly bought the Cozey because there were not a lot of couches available following COVID. They were still fairly new at this time and there wasn’t a lot of info on them, and it still seems like there aren’t a ton of detailed reviews. So here is my honest, unbiased review, as someone who paid for the couch with their own money. Modularity: The modularity of this couch is a MAJOR win in my books. We have moved with it twice now, and I cannot emphasize enough how much of a relief it was to be able to just take our couch apart and put it back together when moving. It is super easy to assemble and disassemble. In our most recent move, we planned to put a different (non-modular) couch in our finished basement, but we couldn’t maneuver it through the doorway to he to the basement. We were able to just take apart the Cozey to have a couch down there. It also gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing I can just order a replacement part or cushion cover if something were to happen (especially when our dog was a puppy and we were worried he may chew on the couch). We don’t have to worry about reupholstering or getting a whole new couch if something breaks. My only minor qualm is that I wish there was the option to leave the back piece and the seat piece together when disassembling without the arm rests, just to make assembly a bit quicker when you’re moving. But it’s not that big of a deal. Comfort: Comfort is super subjective, but I’ll give my take anyways. This is a firm couch. It’s not a hard couch, but it is firm. I personally prefer a firmer couch, and find it quite comfortable. My mom has the Cozey Ciello, which is a lot softer (and larger). My partner is 6’2, I am 5’2, and we are both able to sit on the couch comfortably (not too shallow or too deep). Dog loves it too, lol.Wear and Care: Because the couch is on the firm side, the cushions have held up really nicely. We haven’t noticed any sagging the way I have seen in cheaper or similar priced couches from IKEA or Structube. They are also easy to clean. Our pup has jumped up on the sofa with muddy paws before and we were able to easily spot clean it with soap and water. The covers are also removable and machine washable, which is a major win. In terms of handling pet hair, I would say it’s pretty moderate. I have seen couches hold way more pet hair than this, and also have seen couches withstand/repel pet hair way better. For the price point it’s pretty decent.Now. This is where we get to the one failure of the Cozey in my eyes. The fabric pills so badly. If you have read any reviews from the Cozey, you will likely see people complain about the pilling. Ours started pilling around the 8 month mark I would say, so I reached out to Cozey to ask if they was normal. They said there were issues with some of the early batches of fabric and they would send me new covers. They sent them, and they still pill. With the lighter couch colour, it can make it look dirtier than it is. I can make them look decent again if I take a razor to them every couple of months, but nobody wants to have to do that. I am curious if the velvet colour options also pill. I have heard of people also having pilling with the Ciello fabric (to a lesser degree). My mom’s doesn’t have any pilling yet, but she also has no pets, no kids, and it’s not her daily couch. All in all, I think the Cozey is pretty decent. The modularity is amazing, it’s comfortable (to us), and it’s easy to clean. If they were to fix the fabric issue, I would only ever buy a Cozey couch from now on and would yell from the rooftops for everyone else to buy them too. Unfortunately, the pilling is really annoying. With that said, I am unaware of any other brands that are doing what Cozey is doing, in a similar pricepoint. The couch is the same price now that it was when we paid for it 2 years ago, so the cost has remained untouched by inflation. I can’t say the same for other couches made by other brands. With that in mind, maybe the pilling issue is worth it for the cost and convenience, up to you to decide! via /r/BuyCanadian https://ift.tt/g4jiXQZ
