Smart Sofas Offer Comfort and Convenience

Upgrade your lounging experience with these connected couches

If there is anything that defines our modern era, it’s multitasking, so it’s worth asking, even when relaxing, “could my couch be doing more?” The answer is a resounding yes.

Thanks to the integration of intelligent technology, sofas have become smart, and your favorite spot in the house could become even more irreplaceable by providing you with music, heat, power, massages and more.

Here are a few options for upgrading your sofa.

Love Sac StealthTech Sound + Charge Series

Love Sac

Behold, a couch built for the modern living room. The Love Sac StealthTech Sound + Charge Series is a sectional sofa that is swimming in smart features—you just can’t see them. Hidden within the fine quality fabric of your Love Sac couch is immersive 4-D Dolby Digital surround sound audio, built by Harman Kardon, and multiple wireless charging stations, seamlessly integrated into the sofa, so you can experience them without immediately being aware they exist. Movies, games and music will all take on a new dimension as you feel it all from the comfort of your couch. Love Sac owners can control every aspect of their smart sofa via an accompanying app, pairing to different devices, altering volume or bass levels, and easily optimizing audio for their current configuration after rearranging these sectionals (or as Love Sac calls them “Sactionals”—get it?).

Prices vary from $6,050 to $15,750, depending on size and fabrics.
