The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
We’ve researched and tested dozens of sustainable furniture brands — these are our top picks for green velvet sofas and couches.
Anyone else feeling ready to leave the gray days of interior decorating behind? Want to make a bold move that speaks to how you’re both grounded and ready to live fearless and free? Bring on the green velvet sofa. 💚
Green is the new gray, a go-to for anchor pieces that can range from a cozy neutral to a jewel-toned showstopper. It’s minimalist, it’s maximalist, and the trend has been growing since celebrities (hey J.Lo and Emily Ratajkowski!) started posting selfies lounging against the luscious, light-catching glow of their green velvet couches.
Go moss green for a low-key relaxed vibe, bold with a lime green à la the Memphis Group, or choose a refined pear for a glamorous I-summer-in-the-Hamptons look. Here’s a quick tip on styling: Green is a versatile color best off-set with other neutrals like black, white, cream, gray-blue, and anything in the copper-colored family. Since oxidized copper goes green over time, the two make a great pair. Honestly, pair it with whatever the heck you want and it will play — it’s nice like that.
As for buttery velvet, there is just one downside: It turns out that many velvet production practices are harmful for the environment. Velvet can be woven from any type of yarn (silk, cotton, wool) but, to cut cost, is most often woven from synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon. These plastics-based materials never biodegrade. And because velvet requires multiple production steps (read: Resource-sucking), uses more yarn than most other fabrics, and is often treated with stain repellant, the output can be well, less than green.
So if you love the green velvet sofa but you also love our green earth, we’re here to help.
Our criteria:
Our editors have personally tested and researched dozens of sustainable furniture brands, and vetted thousands of customer reviews, to select our top picks for green velvet sofas and couches.

- ETHICS | The brands on this list use responsible labor and production practices, and many have thoughtful give back programs as well.
- DURABLE | Sustainable commitments mean higher quality products that will last you a long time, if not a lifetime. These couches have proven to hold up against daily wear and tear.

Best Overall | Most Affordable | Best Sleeper
1. Sabai
Best For | Recycled & upcycled sofas
Sustainable Features | FSC-certified wood, upcycled, recycled & natural materials, repair program, free from PFAS & flame retardants
Ships To | U.S. & Canada
Price Range | $1,295 – $2,895
If you want your sofa to be made in an ethically-run factory in the U.S. with an emphasis on affordable modern design and comprehensive sustainability, then Sabai’s got your back. The brand promises no toxic chemicals, no greenwashing, and minimal environmental impact. There’s even a closed-loop “Repair Don’t Replace” program, as well as a Sabai Revive line where people can sell their Sabai once they’re ready to move on — although we expect that doesn’t happen too often. Their Essential Sofa comes in recycled velvet in moss or seafoam, and can be ordered as a loveseat, a chair, and a five-, six-, or seven-seat corner sectional. There’s also the swanky profile of the Evergreen Sofa and the modern farmhouse Elevate Sofa. All three can be ordered with ottomans and accent chairs to match. Plus, everything ships flat for easy carrying and easy assembly.
Our Editor’s Review | “Sabai has emerged as an excellent choice for those seeking sustainable, sturdy, and life-friendly (aka washable and repairable) furniture. The Elevate sectional and Evergreen chair have not only met but exceeded my expectations — my home is so cozy, and is getting increasingly difficult to leave.” – Emily McGowan, Editorial Director [Read the full review.]

The new Sierra Performance Velvet Sofa collection from Quince has us excited as it’s one of our favorite responsible and affordable clothing brands dominating the furniture sphere! These sofas are upholstered in plush, contract-grade performance velvet — making them both luxurious and durable for high-traffic areas. Built for long-lasting comfort, each sofa frame is constructed from solid and kiln-dried engineered wood, ensuring superior stability with glued, corner-blocked, and fastened joinery. The seat and back cushions are filled with a foam and a recycled fiber blend that mimics the sink-in comfort of down — without the need for daily fluffing.

Customer Review | “I have had my couch for a little over a week now and I really love it! It looks beautiful and is super deep and comfy while still fitting into my small apartment. It really looks very expensive while not having a crazy price tag. I love that it was built locally in LA and hand delivered to me. Delivery took about 4 weeks and was super easy to schedule- They send you a scheduling link when it is time and you can pick the day that works best for you. They even brought it fully into my place, unwrapped it and got it all set up. I would recommend this couch to anyone wanting to class up their smaller space.“ – Katie D. (Read all reviews.)
4. Inside Weather
Best For | Customizable modular sofas
Sustainable Features | FSC-certified wood, OEKO-TEX certified fabric options, recycled materials, renewable foam packaging
Ships To | Contiguous U.S.
Price Range | $2,454 – $5,952
It’s no wonder Inside Weather has been profiled by domino, HouseBeautiful, and The New York Times. The brand makes completely customizable sofas in California (you can customize arm height 🤯), ships them within days using recycled packaging (carbon neutral, we should add), and offers a 365-day at-home trial. For every order placed, a minimum of two trees are planted and they use CertiPUR-US eco-foam made from disposable bottles — for reference, one sofa equals around 200 bottles. Their Modular Bondi Sofa Collection features a kiln-dried solid ash wood frame and can be ordered in a Tuscan Green luxury upcycled velvet upholstery. You can even remove all fabric cushion covers for easy washing. For a cloud-like lounging experience, choose deluxe memory foam; for a bit more support, pick the classic plush blend.
Customer Review | “The quality is second to none and after lounging, the cushions hold their form well. Was able to order swatches before and because I have a dog I took her paws to the materials to see which would withstand, and I’m 5 months in with no wear and tear at all on the couch. So extremely pleased with every aspect of this purchase.– Margarita S. (Read all reviews.)

Sustainable Features | OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, handmade in North America, vegan & cruelty-free, free from flame retardants
Ships To | Continental U.S.

Albany Park makes buying a sofa a breeze.

AP is budget-friendly, without compromising on sustainability — all of their materials are free of flame retardants and toxic off-gassing. We’re fans of Barton Sofa which has a classic profile and deep cushions that can be ordered in a PFAS-free olive velvet, or upgrade to the Kova Grand U-Shape, a modular sofa that elevates lounging into a thing of beauty. (Note: You can customize those cushions to be either box or pillow style!) If you’re in the market for a sectional, check out the Kova Modern Sofa — it has hypoallergenic, 100% vegan cushions, and is their plushest option.
Customer Review | “This sectional has totally elevated our living room. This was a purchase that took a lot of thought as it was our first ever new couch in our first house and we 100% made the right choice. I would recommend this piece to anyone with pets and anyone with a smaller space. Other sectionals we looked at were too bulky, this one is sleek, gorgeous and fits perfectly in our small home. – Erin G. (Read all reviews.)
7. West Elm
Best For | Variety of velvet fabrics
Sustainable Features | Sustainable & consciously-grown materials, recycled materials
Ships To | 60+ countries
Price Range | $1,399 – $4,398
West Elm works hard to do right by our planet. With the goal of being carbon neutral this year, the brand already guarantees that 60% of their product sales support at least one sustainability initiative. Choose from a number of velvet options, with most being GREENGUARD certified. We’re fans of the performance velvet for high-traffic areas — it’s guaranteed up to 100,000 rubs and reads as a short, soft pile with a matte finish. The distressed velvet option uses partly recycled chenille yarns and is a good option for slightly less high-traffic areas if you’d like a brushed texture and shine. Save the deluxe velvet for a low-traffic zone where you want refined lushness. For a roomier option, check out the Harris Skirted Slipcover 2-piece Chaise Sectional, available in all three velvets and three colorways (evergreen, tarragon, and dark olive). If you want a smaller, coastal-inspired sofa with clean lines and a kiln-dried wooden platform, try the Newport Modular.
8. Joybird
Best For | Pet-friendly sofas
Sustainable Features | GREENGUARD Gold certified options, low-VOC glues & stains, plants trees
Ships To | Continental U.S.
Price Range | $856 – $10,000
Joybird offers high-quality furniture crafted to meet every design style, color, shape, and size you can imagine. The brand specializes in a midcentury modern design aesthetic, but there’s a ton of customizable options for all tastes. Founded in California in 2014, Joybird keeps their production footprint small with headquarters in L.A., warehouse distribution in San Diego, and manufacturing in Tijuana, Mexico. As one of the earliest direct-to-consumer online furniture companies, Joybird has the digital shopping experience dialed in. They’ll send you a free fabric swatch sample kit so you can try out your velvet before you commit. You can get a sense of their soft and nontoxic velvet, and choose your green from olive, forest, apple, and sage. The Preston Reversible Sectional is a versatile, vintage-looking marvel while the Rondell Sofa offers a luxurious example of old-school diamond tufting and sumptuous rolled arms — try styling it Jungalow for added appeal.
Customer Review | “This is the softest, most comfortable sofa I have ever sat on. I’m lucky to have it as the centerpiece of my living room.” – Lucinda W (Read all reviews.)
9. Rove Concepts
Best For | High-end luxury sofas

Rove Concepts was founded in the Pacific Northwest in 2011 with the desire to bring high-end luxury furniture to the masses. The eco-design house uses sustainable fabrics and ethically sourced materials wherever possible. For a bit of inspiration, check out their gallery of Rove pieces in celebrity homes. On that note, one of our favorite pieces is the Maria Sharapova-designed Maria Sofa in olive green, a subtle shimmery nod to the clean lines of Japanese architecture. The Milo Sleeper Sofa is a fan-favorite, with many rave reviews for being one of the best sleeper sofas on the market. It comes in a sage vegan suede, if you’re interested in another soft, green option for your living room.
