Lovesac is set to enter the loveseat, sofa, and chair categories, expanding beyond its Sactionals offering with the launch of EverCouch in 2025. The move is part of the company's strategy to diversify its product range and complement its existing Sacs and Sactionals over the next three years, according to CEO and founder Shawn Nelson, who detailed the company's plans during Lovesac's Investor Day.

Nelson explained that entering the $14 billion sofa, loveseat, and chair market will not cannibalise Lovesac's Sactional business, as only a small percentage of Sactional buyers currently purchase units in the same size as traditional sofas. The EverCouch, like the Sactionals, will offer features such as storage, washable covers, and modularity. However, it will adopt a simplified structure with a steel pin system to keep costs lower, eliminating the ability for reconfiguration and expansion found in Sactional products.
While the EverCouch will not include the StealthTech sound system or recliner options recently added to the Sactionals, Nelson noted that it will fit the "designed for life" ethos, offering durable products built to last and designed to adapt over time. He highlighted the EverCouch's suitability for urban environments, particularly cities like New York, where its straightforward design and lower price point make it attractive for wider distribution through channels beyond Lovesac's own showrooms and website.
CFO Keith Siegner added that the EverCouch is well-suited to online sales, describing it as a product that resonates with internet shoppers. Alongside the EverCouch launch, Lovesac plans to introduce additional platforms targeting other areas of the home in the following fiscal years, aiming to triple household penetration by 2030.
Nelson emphasised Lovesac's ambition, likening the brand's growth to iconic companies such as Nike, Apple, and Disney. Using the analogy of an oak tree, he described Sacs, Sactionals, and EverCouch as branches that contribute to a robust, evolving brand. The StealthTech system and other service offerings represent the life system connecting these branches, creating a cohesive brand identity.
In discussing the EverCouch's potential, Nelson suggested it embodies the company's commitment to expanding its reach without diluting its core values. He concluded by highlighting Lovesac's long-term vision, aiming to become the most beloved furniture brand in America, with a clear emphasis on innovation, durability, and affordability.
