Brand: Burrow
Price: $1,890 (plus free shipping)
Burrow's Nomad sleeper sofa offers a sleek silhouette and long tapered legs, giving it a mid-century modern flair that will look great in living rooms with any home decor style. It's also highly customizable, allowing you to choose from five different upholstery colors, six leg finishes, and four arm styles — Burrow's modular design system means the Nomad can adapt with you as your needs change.

Our review: “I’m not a big fan of sofas that are too loungy and make you sink the moment you sit on them," says interior design expert Yoselin Castro, who Read reviewed the Nomad for Living Cozy. "That is most definitely not the case with the Nomad soda as it feels very durable and sturdy, yet plush enough to take a midday nap!”
Pros:
- Timeless Style: The sofa can provide comfort and support for years to come. It's modern and casual but the look will still last forever!
- Easy Assembly: This easy to put together sofa is one of the best perks about it, and most of the work can be done by one person with moderate strength and no extra tools.
- Fabric and Color: An extra plus to the sofa is that it is stain resistant, especially for those with little ones running around or those who like to entertain and can’t resist a good get together with friends and family.
Cons:
- Attaching the arms to the sofa: This seemed to be a tricky part and it would be great to see this be made easier for the consumer; however, it's not clear exactly how Burrow can improve the hardware on this part. The assembly was great until we got to this point making it extremely hard to attach the arms to the seats.
- USB Charger Location was not the most convenient. It is hidden which is great but at the same time is not functional
