Add To The Set
By Yazen Halik, Founder of Mirewood — Last updated October 13, 2026
Quick answer
Mirewood and Anabei are the two washable cloud sofas most shoppers end up comparing. Anabei is the cheaper entry point, starting around $699 for a small sofa; Mirewood starts at $1,399 for a Halo 2-seater but adds a fully modular system, a 29.5-inch deep seat, a kiln-dried wood frame with a Limited Lifetime frame warranty, a published 100,000 double-rub fabric rating, and shipping within 72 hours. If budget is the only constraint, Anabei. If you want the sofa to be reconfigured, expanded and kept for a decade, Mirewood.
I run Mirewood, so this is the founder's comparison. Anabei figures come from its public website and were checked in October 2026; confirm before buying.
About Anabei
Anabei is a direct-to-consumer brand that built its name on the Comfy, a deep, cloud-style sofa with machine-washable covers at a low price. It targets the same pet-owner and family market as Mirewood. Its range is smaller, lead times vary with stock, and its sofas are sold in set configurations rather than as individual modular pieces.
About Mirewood
Mirewood is an Austin, Texas direct-to-consumer brand with two modular lines, the Halo (deep cloud seat) and the Valen (medium-firm, lower profile). Every cover, including seat cushions and the base, machine-washes. Seats, corners and ottomans are sold individually and connect with hidden steel clips, so a 2-seater can become a sectional later. Frames are kiln-dried wood with a Limited Lifetime frame warranty, and orders ship from Texas within 72 hours.

Washability: close to a tie
This is the one area where the two brands are most alike, and it is why they get compared. Both sell cloud-style sofas with machine-washable covers. Mirewood's advantage is scope: every cover on the sofa comes off, including the base, and replacement covers are sold on their own, so a stained or faded cover is a cover purchase, not a sofa purchase. Check Anabei's current listing for which covers are included and whether replacements are sold separately.
Modularity: the real difference
Anabei sells sofas in set sizes. Mirewood sells the pieces. A Mirewood 2-seater bought for an apartment becomes a 3-seater with one middle seat, or an L-shaped sectional with a corner, or a U-shape with two. Pieces ship as separate cartons that fit through any door, and a single damaged seat is replaced on its own. If you expect to move, grow a family, or change rooms, this matters more than the sticker price.
Durability and warranty
Mirewood publishes its specs: kiln-dried wood frame, high-density foam, fabric lab-tested to 100,000 double rubs, Limited Lifetime frame warranty. Anabei's warranty is limited and it does not publish an abrasion rating. For a sofa you intend to keep ten years, published numbers are the only way to compare durability before buying.
Price
Anabei is cheaper to start. Mirewood is more expensive up front and typically cheaper over ten years, because modular pieces and replacement covers extend its life. If the budget tops out under $1,000, Anabei is the realistic choice. Between $1,399 and $2,900, Mirewood gives you more sofa for the money.
Where Anabei has the edge
- Lower entry price
- A simple, set-configuration purchase if you do not want to plan a layout
- Comparable cloud feel and washability on its core sofa
Where Mirewood wins
- Fully modular, expandable and reconfigurable
- Every cover washable, including the base, with replacements sold separately
- Limited Lifetime frame warranty and published 100,000 double-rub fabric rating
- Ships within 72 hours from US inventory
- Two seat feels to choose from (Halo deep, Valen medium-firm)
Which should you buy?
Buy Anabei if you want a washable cloud sofa under $1,000 and the standard size fits your room. Buy Mirewood if you want the sofa to adapt as your home changes, with the specs and warranty to last. Start with the Halo collection for the deepest seat or the Valen collection for a firmer one, and see every washable option in the washable sofas collection.
