In the ultimate face-off between Floyd and Fülhaus, style enthusiasts will admire Floyd's diverse designs alongside Fülhaus' unmatched durability. Sustainability-conscious buyers will appreciate Floyd's eco-friendly efforts, contrasting with Fülhaus' focus on longevity. When it comes to value, both brands cater to different niches, with Floyd falling into the premium range and Fülhaus positioning itself as a luxury option, promising unparalleled comfort and style for distinct buyer preferences.
BRAND #1: Floyd
Floyd is an online-only retailer that was founded in 2013 in Detroit, Michigan. The company's first product was called the Floyd Leg and was as simple as it sounds – a leg that could transform any flat object into a table. This simple design philosophy is evident across all their products, even their website.
Floyd | Brand Summary
Floyd has a very well-designed website that also reflects the design principles of their limited couch offerings. But once you peel back the glamorous veneer, you might be disappointed by the overall quality, customer focus, and lead times. There’s a lot to love with Floyd, but the fact that they only have 3 couch options means that you’d expect them to absolutely nail everything else. Unfortunately, they fall short, especially at their price range.
The first thing you’ll notice about Floyd is how special and stylish their sofas are. And that really is the company’s main draw. They also have one of the most unique and eye-catching fabric collections we’ve ever seen. Some fabrics are recycled cotton. Others have multi-colored cross-weaves. Some are made from Norwegian and New Zealand wool. Fancy! Their signature sofa (aptly named “The Sofa”) has an industrial, reclaimed look to it. Everything about Floyd’s design sensibility is simply cool.
Floyd does provide a 1 year warranty on their craftsmanship. Customers can also purchase an extended warranty through Mulberry that provides coverage for any type of accident or damage.
Although Floyd does not offer white glove delivery options, only The Sofa requires any assembly. And even then, it’s rather simple and straightforward. You won’t have a marital crisis trying to assemble it.
But there are certainly downsides to Floyd. They have unexpectedly long lead times for their limited offering. It can often take 6-10 weeks before a couch ships out. Shipping also costs 12% of your order total (max $299).
The material quality for the price is OK if you’re buying a smaller couch. But you can easily spend $3,000+ on a Floyd couch. At that price point we’d like to see higher quality cushion fill and sturdier frames.
Fülhaus is all about cutting-edge design trends. Most furniture brands that cater to rental properties are a hot mess of institutional and bland looking furniture and decor. Fülhaus helps with getting your rental property looking good, functional, and ready for guests with minimal fuss. Ludwig, their AI, streamlines the design process like nothing I've seen before. And their whole end-to-end service seems like a lifesaver for busy hosts and rental property owners who'd rather be booking guests than assembling furniture.

In the clash of couch champions, Fülhaus secures the crown with its unmatched durability, innovative solutions, and luxurious appeal. With a focus on sustainability and customer satisfaction, Fülhaus goes above and beyond to provide a top-tier seating experience. The winning blend of design, durability, and value makes Fülhaus the go-to choice for those craving the ultimate comfort and style in their homes.
