The Dune Sofa

4 kids, 2 Australian shepherds and a husband that doesn’t care if the couch is white when he’s lounging. We bought these 5 years ago and I can not begin to explain how brand new they look after a wash in our regular washer and dryer (if not better because they get more comfortable by the day) I’m a harsh critic and don’t leave reviews often unless I feel like the world HAS to know. These couches are worth every dang penny! I’m going to need a new set of slipcovers at some point in this decade but that is a win for me! Sturdy as heck with boys jumping and using them for their games, loving them so much, best furniture purchase I’ve made. ❤️

We are going on year 3 of having our dune sectional in oyster. The structure of the sofa has held up extremely well. I hadn’t put my slipcovers in the washing machine out of fear that they’d shrink or get ruined so I just kept spot cleaning with a bissell until I gave up and let it go. With 6 and 2 year old boys and a 4 month old that spits up all over the place, the couch was wrecked. I regretted every bit of getting a white sofa until today. I decided to finally try to wash the slipcovers in my washing machine and OMG. The sofa looks brand spanking new again. The covers fit like a glove. Every single stubborn stain that I had tried so hard to get out with a bissell spot cleaner came out after just one cycle in the washing machine. We’re talking Cheeto dust, ink pen, chocolate, wine, you name it- all gone! I’m still in shock. If you have kids and want a white sofa that is super comfy and cleans well, this is the one for you!

I bought two of the Dune's in Flax Performance Textured Linen to face each other in our family room that faces our open concept kitchen. It's the perfect place for my toddler to play between, creating forts and reading corners. Overall, the sofas are beautiful. They give the perfect balance between both classic and forward, high end and cozy, luxurious and durable. The bench style seating makes lying down on the sofa for my 6'1" husband not only doable, but he's fallen asleep many times unintentionally. The only issue I had was that I originally ordered the classic back pillows because I thought it looked cleaner and easier to keep tidy. However, the classic back pillows are so overstuffed and stiff that sitting upright on the sofa was uncomfortable for 5'4" me that my husband could never sit back on the sofa. I thought maybe with time it would break in a bit, but we couldn't break it in because no one would sit in it. My husband would remove the pillows to lay down in it. I reached out to Maiden Home and asked if I could exchange my classic back pillows for the scatter back seeing as how you could arrange the pillows behind you more easily to add more depth to the seat. They asked me to send the swatch that is stitched under the seating to color match the batch exactly and sent the scatter back pillows several weeks later. Upon first impression, the scatter back pillows felt a bit small, but I was comparing them to the very overstuffed classic back pillows. However, after a couple of days, the ease of use made them worth having to rearrange at the end of the day everyday. Anyone can sit comfortably, more upright or sunk in by rearranging the pillows behind them. The only other thing worth mentioning that I wish I knew from reviews earlier is that you can really feel the wooden frame on the arms and back. The look of the style, I think, prevents there to be a bunch of stuffing or wrapping on the edges. I thought I would mind more, but it never bothered me functionally. It was just something that caught me off guard when I initially received the sofas. Otherwise, I'd still highly recommend to anyone looking for a sofa. I would just call those things out specifically to better inform them of their purchase.

These sofas are fantastic, especially for the price, level of customization, and speed of delivery. I have the chair and a half and everyone tells me they've never seen a better one and immediately want to order one of their own. The ability to wash the slipcover is so helpful! Also - the stiffness and crinkling of the sofa when you first receive it goes away pretty quickly and over one year in, I am so happy with how my pieces have kept their shape. They look like new! Maiden Home is definitely at the top of my list for when I need more furniture.

We’ve had this sofa for a year and honestly couldn’t be happier. I was worried about buying a sofa without ever seeing/sitting on it but it’s exactly what I wanted. The cushions were a little stiff and noisy at first but that quickly went away. The fabric is so easy to keep clean, and I have a 130 pound dog who thinks it’s funny to jump on the couch when his paws are muddy. It still looks brand new. The depth is not designed for those who like to sit straight up with their feet on the floor, so keep that in mind.
