Inside Weather vs Blu Dot: Who Has Better Couches?

You might love the way Inside Weather’s Bondi Sofa looks, but here are a few things to consider before you buy it. The return policy of Insider Weather can be misleading and pricey. The 10-25% return fee is based on pre-discounted pricing. And with such large discounts (sometimes 50% off), you could spend thousands to return your Bondi Sofa.

While we love the style of the Bondi Inside Weather couch and its hardwood frame, the support system is elastic webbing, which isn’t super durable and it isn’t great at this price point.

If you don’t pony up for the white glove delivery, you could face a challenging assembly process.

But don’t let the cons spook you. Inside Weather’s Bondi has plenty of pros. There are tons of ways to configure and customize your Bondi Sofa. Inside Weather also has tremendous, eco-friendly fabric options to choose from. They’re super cleanable and many are machine washable.

Their hardwood frames are sustainably sourced, and many of their materials have eco-friendly benefits, too.

Any order over $1,500 ships free, and you can add on white glove delivery (including assembly) for only $175. That’s a budget-friendly white glove option, especially with the amount of assembly required.

The Bondi is also made in the USA using high-quality craftsmanship. This majorly cuts down on Inside Weather’s carbon footprint. 

Blu Dot is a brand that excels in creating stylish and functional sofas that prioritize the user experience. Their commitment to quality is evident in their use of premium materials like kiln-dried hardwood and performance fabrics, and their 5-year warranty offers peace of mind for buyers.

However, lead times can be unpredictable, and returns come with a restocking fee after the initial 30 days. Some might find the cleaning instructions for certain materials to be a bit demanding. Overall, Blu Dot is an excellent choice for those seeking a well-made sofa with modern design and sustainable features.
