Sherpa Couches

Faux sherpa couch fabric and feel

A faux sherpa couch is covered in a synthetic fleece, usually polyester, with a nubby, curly pile that copies the look of sheepskin and feels warm and soft to sit on.

Sherpa is cozy in cool rooms and hides light creases, but the pile can flatten or mat on favorite seats and tends to hold lint and pet hair. Brushing it now and then keeps the fibers lofty.

Sherpa sectional couch and loveseat sizes

A sherpa sectional couch suits a family room, while a sherpa loveseat or 2-seat couch fits a small apartment or bedroom corner. Widths here run 59.7 to 122 inches and depths 31 to 83.8 inches, seating 2 to 6.

Some sectionals are L-shaped or curved, some offer a deep seat for lounging, and select models need no assembly.

Sherpa sleeper couch for guests

A sherpa sleeper couch opens from a sofa into a bed, and select models here fold out to a king size sleeping surface. Some L-shaped sleeper sectionals also add USB charging.

Measure the room with the bed open, and leave a clear path around it so guests can get in and out.

Sherpa couch frames and construction

A sherpa couch is only as sturdy as the frame under its soft cover, and construction varies by model. Some use a solid wood frame, others pair wood with plywood panels, and some add a metal or iron frame. Check each listing's construction line to see which parts are solid wood.

White sherpa couch colors and care

A white sherpa couch looks bright and cozy but shows dirt and matting sooner than brown, gray or green, the most common shades here. Beige, black and blue are also available.

Vacuum sherpa on low suction with a brush attachment, blot spills with a clean white cloth, and check the care code on the tag before using any cleaner. Keep heat away from the fabric, since it can crush or melt the pile, and brush the fibers gently once dry.
