I’ve had my fair proportion of gigantic packing containers arriving at my entrance door. It’s the character of my job. However regardless of checking the scale, and regardless of making an attempt to brace myself, nothing might have ready me for the supply of the Cozey Ciello XL Sofa.
This couch is large. Dimensions range by configuration (extra on that later), however mine is available in at 148 x 68.5 x 26.8 inches—and that’s with out the elective storage ottoman. Every part of the sofa arrives in its personal field, and mine had so many who I used to be capable of absolutely lie down on prime of the packing containers.
A chunk of furnishings this huge is certain to return with some quirks, however total, the Cozey Ciello XL is completely superb—offered it’s what you’re on the lookout for within the first place.
Fashionable and Modular
One of many largest attracts of this sofa is its customizability. It’s out there in three efficiency material colours and two chenille colours. I examined the couch within the Grey efficiency material for a bit underneath two months. You possibly can order a swatch e book without spending a dime to determine which material you need.

I like to recommend having a companion or buddy assist you arrange the couch. When you get into the groove, the sofa is very easy to assemble—even simpler than some smaller couch-in-box setups that I’ve tried. The covers and {hardware} ship contained in the hole seat, backrest, or armrest. We configured our couch and assembled it piece by piece, then snapped the items collectively. It may be a bit tough to line up the brackets completely when seating every little thing into place, however take your time and you have to be superb. Simply be ready to interrupt down a LOT of cardboard afterward.
The efficiency material is ok. It feels a bit scratchy, however it’s simple to scrub, and the detachable cushions imply you possibly can kind of wash your sofa within the washer. The sofa didn’t have an offensive scent, and it was fairly comfy proper from the bounce. Which brings me to my subsequent level—precisely how cozy is it?
Okay-est Nap of My Life
I’m a clumsy sitter. I’m always pretzel-ing my physique, draping my limbs over furnishings, and folding my legs up as I shift in my seat. The Cozey Ciello XL made this concurrently very simple and really tough.
The seats of the sofa themselves are nice, if a bit crinkly-sounding. They’re deep and cozy, offered you sit within the seat itself and never throughout the sting of two of them (by which case the inflexible construction beneath you’ll make it really feel such as you’re being break up in two). Until you’re exceptionally tall, in case you scoot all the way in which again, your legs and/or ft will dangle. The again cushions depart so much to be desired. The again of the sofa and the arms are each very boxy and low, so if you scoot again and try to throw an arm over the again of the couch, it feels a bit awkward. The seat cushions additionally have a tendency to slip ahead, away from the again cushions, and the again cushions and arm cushions don’t like to remain in place. Which means I spent a number of time rearranging the couch as an alternative of simply sitting on it. This identical design challenge means if you’re sitting side-by-side, you find yourself sinking into the particular person sitting subsequent to you. There’s greater than sufficient room for 2 individuals to sit down at reverse ends of the couch, however once more—I ought to have the ability to sit subsequent to any person else with out invading their private area.
