9 Cloud Sofa Sectional Dupes of 2022

The cloud couch from RH is so popular because…well, have you seen the damn thing? She’s absolutely stunning!

No, but in all seriousness, the $10,000+ sofa—designed by Timothy Oulton in 2015—is beloved for its streamlined aesthetic and out-of-this-world comfort. The plush cushions are filled with goose down, plus the low-back silhouette and broad arms are completely sinkable. Like, before you know it, you’ll have taken a four-hour nap or binge-watched an entire series.

What’s more, the luxury accent (which is a favorite among celebs like Kendall Jenner and Kerry Washington) is also completely customizable. With three modular components to choose from (a corner, an armless section, and an ottoman) and the ability to configure your cloud sofa however you want, the shape and size possibilities are endless.

RH describes the furniture phenomena as “a modern marriage of versatility, perfect proportions, and massive comfort,” and we think that’s pretty accurate. Okay, now do you get the hype?

Consider your budget

Whether you’re looking for the real deal or a dupe, cloud sofas are a major investment. And just because the options on this list cost less than $10,000, doesn’t exactly mean they’re affordable by any stretch. It’s all relative, ya know?

Soooo, the first step in finding your perfect couch is to determine your budget and shop accordingly. Pro tip: If you want to stay under $1,000, try Wayfair or Amazon (the Stone & Beam Westview Loveseat Sofa Couch is under $900!).

Choose an upholstery fabric that’s best for you

Want a neutral-toned couch that’ll last ya forever and work with a variety of color palettes? You’ll love the Mario Capasa Feathers Sectional. Or maybe you’re looking for a jewel-toned pop of color to anchor your living room? Try Crate & Barrel’s Oceanside 102″ Sofa (available in 34 fabrics) or West Elm’s Harmony Modular Sectional (available in basketweave, velvet, linen, chenille, and twill fabrics). Either way, you’ve got options! And this list has ’em all.

Determine your desired height

As I mentioned earlier, Oulton’s original design sits low to the ground and looks like it’s floating (hence the name!). Naturally, this means it’ll be a long way down every time you go to sit on one of those cushy cushions—especially for you tall folks.

If this sounds like something that’ll bother you, choose a modified dupe like the Article Abisko Quartz White Right Sectional or one with removable legs like the West Elm Haven 2-Piece Terminal Chaise Sectional.
