About Lovesac
We are a young-at-heart, fast-growing furniture company, dedicated to helping people fill their homes with Total ComfortTM. We do this by designing and innovating furniture solutions that are adaptable, washable, expandable, and delivered-right-to-your-door-able, allowing our customers to live the life they want to live.
Our Designed for Life mission started with Sacs, a seat so much better than your classic beanbag made with repurposed Durafoam and designed to reduce environmental impact while providing unimaginable, cloud- like comfort. From there, we expanded the possibility for sustainable furniture with Sactionals, a customizable modular sectional that can be endlessly rearranged to evolve with you. Our product line has grown a lot since our Sacs days, but our goal will always remain the same – to create truly adaptable, comfortable furniture that can be with you for life.

Above all else, we’re driven by love (because it matters) and are dedicated to promoting love and happiness in all aspects of our work. It’s about success, of course, but it’s also about making a positive impact on everyone our business touches.
