Home Reserve vs. Lovesac: Which Modular Sectional Fits Your Life?
Modular sectionals are on a lot of wish lists these days—and it’s no wonder why. They’re flexible, adaptable, and made to move and grow with you. But once you dive into the world of modular furniture, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Two brands you’ll likely come across are Home Reserve and Lovesac. Both offer customizable seating, machine-washable covers, and the promise of long-term comfort.
But when it comes to how they work in real life—and how much they cost you over time—the differences really start to show.
Let’s take a look.

Comfort & Materials: Built for Everyday Life
At Home Reserve, we design for busy, active homes—not just showroom floors. Our cushions are made from CertiPUR-US® certified foam, filled with 100% recycled, BPA-free plastic fiber (yep, water bottles), and built to hold their shape while still feeling great to sit on.
It’s a feel-good seat—literally and environmentally.
Storage That Comes Standard
Storage isn’t a premium upgrade here—it’s built in for free.
Every Home Reserve seat and ottoman includes a roomy compartment beneath the cushion, perfect for blankets, board games, or that extra charging cable you keep losing.
No add-on fees—just space that makes sense.
Our Warranty Is Built for Real Life
Let’s be honest: most furniture warranties only protect you from problems you’re not likely to have. And when something does go wrong? There are hoops to jump through.
We take a different approach.
-
10-Year Frame Warranty
If something breaks, we send a replacement—no questions asked. -
Natural Disaster Protection
If your furniture is damaged beyond repair by a flood, fire, or other emergency, just send us photos and we’ll work with you to replace it.
No paperwork. No fine print. Just real support from a company that wants your furniture to last.
What Our Customers Are Saying
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"We have a family room with a non-standard door and most couches won't fit through it. Plus, most furniture is too big for our space. Home Reserve fit the bill. Our sectional arrived promptly and was a fraction of the cost of Lovesac."
— Stephanie W., TrustPilot"The product itself looks amazing. It was such a cost-effective alternative to Lovesac and we love the storage space!"
— Jackie, TrustPilot
Assembly: What to Expect—and Why It Matters
At Home Reserve, we’ve designed our assembly process to save you money and help your furniture fit wherever life takes you. Every piece ships in compact, manageable boxes that slide through tight stairwells, hallways, and doorways. That’s huge if you live in an apartment or older home.
Assembly takes about 45 minutes per armless unit, and it’s straightforward—just a screwdriver and the included instructions. Many of our customers say they’re surprised by how easy (and even satisfying) it is.
You’re essentially paying yourself to build it—and saving hundreds in the process.
Lovesac's Sactionals arrive in multiple boxes. While seats and sides come pre-framed, there are still several steps:
-
Attach feet to the base
-
Install "shoes" and clamps underneath to connect each piece
-
Zip on the covers
-
Place cushions and fluff them to full size
Both systems are modular and reconfigurable, but Home Reserve offers a money-saving path from doorstep to fully built—without the added cost.
Made in the USA—Here’s the Difference
All Home Reserve furniture is made start-to-finish in Indiana, where we’ve been crafting seating since 2000. Our founders come from generations of American furniture makers, and our team builds each unit with care, quality, and heart.
Lovesac is an American company, and their original product—the Sac—is manufactured in Texas. However, many of their modular Sactional units are produced overseas, including in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia (source: Furniture Today).
So if American-made matters to you, Home Reserve makes that decision easy.
Smart Value That Lasts
Home Reserve was built for real budgets—and real longevity.
Need to replace a cushion? A fabric cover? An entire seat? Our replacement foam, fiber pillows, and fabric covers start at just $45. You’ll never be stuck replacing your whole sectional when just one piece needs a refresh.
And when you start at $380 per seat instead of $1,075+, the long-term savings are built right in.
