Channel Tufted Sofa – Modern Chesterfield-Style 3-Seater in Navy Blue Velvet, 87 Inch
Channel Tufted Sofa – Navy Blue Velvet 3-Seater, Modern Chesterfield-Style, 87 Inch
This channel tufted sofa is a three-seat velvet sofa in a rich navy blue, with vertical channels stitched into the back, the seat front and the wide, square arms, set on low gold-tone block feet. The supplier describes it as a modern channel take on a traditional Chesterfield. It measures 87.01 inches wide, 33.86 inches deep and 27.56 inches high. Easy Life Markets sells it in navy blue.
The look is clean and tailored rather than buttoned and fussy. The arms are the same height as the back, which gives the sofa a solid, boxy outline, and the channels run unbroken from the top of the back down to the floor line at the front. In the supplier's photos it sits on a wood floor in a bright room with large windows, styled with two white fluffy cushions, and the velvet catches the light along each channel. It suits a modern living room, a glam scheme with metallic accents or a classic room that needs one strong colour.
What Is in the Delivery
The supplier lists this as a combination item shipped in three cartons. It does not give a written packing list, and it does not say whether the two white cushions in the photos are included. Please contact us to confirm before ordering if the cushions matter to you.

A Straight Answer on the Details
- Navy or royal blue. The supplier calls the colour navy blue. In its photos it looks brighter, closer to a royal or cobalt blue. Velvet changes shade with the light and the direction of the pile, so expect it to look darker in a dim room.
- Carton sizes. The supplier lists three sub-item cartons with lengths of 134.25 and 170.47 inches, which is longer than the sofa itself. These figures look wrong, possibly centimetres labelled as inches. The listed carton weights add up to about 142 lb.
- "Premium" and "expert craftsmanship". These are the supplier's marketing words. It does not name the frame material, spring system or velvet composition, so we cannot add more.
- Feet. The supplier does not say what the gold-tone feet are made of.
- Not stated: Frame material, seat support, weight capacity, assembly steps, velvet composition and whether the throw cushions are included.
About Velvet
Velvet is a woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it a soft hand and a deep, glowing colour. Most furniture velvet today is made from polyester rather than silk or cotton, which makes it tougher and easier to clean. On a channel tufted sofa the pile catches the light differently on each rounded channel, which is a big part of the appeal.
Placing It in Your Room
- Allow about 87 inches of wall, plus a little space at each end for a side table or lamp.
- Check door widths and stair turns against the carton sizes and the sofa depth of about 34 inches.
- Pair the navy with warm woods, brass, white or blush pink for contrast.
- A large pale rug in front stops the dark sofa from feeling heavy.
Channel Tufting Compared with Button Tufting
Traditional Chesterfield sofas use deep button tufting: the fabric is pulled down at points in a diamond grid, which creates a quilted, formal look. Channel tufting stitches the fabric into long vertical tubes instead. The result is smoother and more modern, with no buttons to catch dust or come loose, and the channels make the back look taller and the sofa slimmer. Here the channels run across the back, the inside and outside of the arms and the front of the seat base, so the pattern carries all the way round.
Care
- Vacuum with a soft brush head, following the direction of the pile.
- Blot spills at once with a clean cloth. Do not rub velvet.
- Use a garment steamer held a short distance away to lift crushed pile.
- Keep it out of strong direct sunlight, which fades deep colours.
Who It Suits
Living rooms and lounges with space for a full-size sofa, buyers who want colour rather than grey or beige, and anyone after a channel tufted sofa with a smart, tailored outline.
