Yes, I learned early on that Hamptons folks don’t just wear linen, it’s a hallmark on their furniture, as well. I’ve spotted linen sofas in swanky beachfront hotels and off-season rentals in Martha’s Vineyard. There they are, just as laidback and fabulous as they seemed to my 8-year-old self. And best of all, I’ve noticed you don’t have to live anywhere near the coast to partake; the inviting lived-in vibe of these couches looks good anywhere. I set out to find the best linen sofas on the market, ranging from luxury options to space-savers and even a few gems on Amazon. Ahead, see which eight made the cut.
