With exceptional flexibility and functionality, we like to say a modular sofa is for life and can adapt with you no matter where life takes you.  

If you are unfamiliar with what a modular sofa is or the benefits of modular design, you might be asking how. 

With five decades of experience designing and manufacturing modular sofas, we know everything there is to know about modular sofas. And while our designs have been the sofa of choice for the Vanity Fair Oscars’ Party and the Oprah Winfrey Show, customers regularly ask our Showroom team 'what is a modular sofa'. 

This leads us to ask, if our customers don't know what a modular sofa is, how can they know if it is right for them? 

To help you and all our customers buy with confidence, this article will highlight what a modular sofa is, its benefits, and the KING difference. 

What is a modular sofa?

Aesthetically, a modular sofa looks like any other sofa, but the difference is in the internal structure. 

Modular sofas are made up of portable sections called modules. This gives you the versatility to arrange your sofa in different configurations to best suit your lifestyle and the layout of your space. 

KING modular sofas effortlessly transform into various configurations, including a guest bed. Jasper Package 1A is featured above in Whiteley Riverstone.   

For example, with the same set of modules, you could create a two-seater with a left chaise, a three-seater sofa or a two-seater with a right chaise. You can also add or remove modules, which is beneficial if you need additional or fewer seats.

What are the benefits of a modular sofa?

Modular sofas can help ‘future proof’ if your tastes or preferences change or your family grows. The option to take apart and reassemble the components also makes moving homes easier.   

At its core, a modular sofa gives you choice. The choice to create a custom configuration. The choice to take your sofa with you wherever you go. And, the choice to continue enjoying your sofa as your family grows.  

Modularity also provides the ability to reuse and repair individual parts, leading to a longer life.   

Whether you’re moving from one home to another, upsizing, downsizing or rightsizing, this flexibility allows you to configure your sofa to best suit your living space and lifestyle—making a modular sofa completely adaptable to your changing life, home and needs.   

Modular designs, such as Jasper and Delta, have the flexibility to effortlessly transform into a comfortable guest bed.

What is the KING difference?

Every detail, from the durable steel frames to the double-stitched removable covers, have been carefully selected and engineered to craft our modular sofas. 

A dedicated team of in-house designers and expert technicians utilise leading technology to deliver consistently luxurious comfort and hero sofa designs, these are the hallmarks of the KING difference.  

KING Steel Frame & Postureflex® Seating System

KING modular sofas are engineered with our innovative steel frame and Postureflex® Seating System, which uses a similar steel suspension seen in luxury European cars. 

Backed by a 25-year steel frame guarantee, this robust combination gives our sofas the strong foundation needed to last a lifetime and reconfigure effortlessly while the magnetic Magic Joiners keep the modules connected.   

Additionally, the Postureflex® Seating System works in harmony with KingCell® Pocket Springs to ensure seat cushions deliver consistent firmness and comfort. 

High performance memory foam

KING memory foam delivers the perfect combination of exceptional comfort and easy maintenance. We use advanced memory foam that provides the same downy-soft feel of feather filled cushions and springs back into shape after use.  

Ultradown® Feather Overlay

Designed to conform to the shape of the user, the KING Ultradown® feather overlay creates a cocoon of deep luxury. Ultradown® is easily maintained and provides incredible graduated comfort, gently enveloping the body when compressed and resulting in a casual lived-in appearance over time. 

Tailorable removable covers

KING modular sofas are made-to-order and are available in a range of premium fabrics and leathers. The covers are completely removable, making it easy to have them professionally cleaned or replaced for an entirely new look.  

There are more than 200 premium fabrics and luxury European leathers to choose from.

Customisation

With a KING modular sofa, you have the flexibility to customise the design to suit your needs and preferences. This includes optional underseat storage on Jasper and Delta designs, selecting the position of the chaise and tailoring with optional integrated shelving. 

Smart Accessories

Smart accessories are another way to tailor your sofa to suit your lifestyle. The Smart Pocket™ feature enables a range of smart accessories to integrate seamlessly, including a wireless charging table, LED reading light, and SONOS compatible speaker bracket.

Choosing your perfect KING modular sofa

Where you watch movies with the family, gather with friends and relax after a long day's work, your sofa is the central gathering place in your home. 

Along with being one of the most used pieces of furniture in your home, the right sofa has the capacity to anchor the space, create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and beckon you with its comfort.
