Why people are buying the Mellow sofa instead of the Vetsak

If you’re shopping for a designer sofa that looks incredible, feels like a cloud, and doesn’t destroy your budget (or your living room) two names come up fast: Vetsak and Mellow by Mario Capasa.

At first glance, they look similar. But one offers a lot more value, comfort, and practicality. That is the Mellow sofa.

Here’s what we found and why you should take it into consideration:

📦 Delivery & Sustainability: Mellow is Apartment and Earth-Friendly
‍
Both sofas ship directly to your home, but only Mellow arrives compressed in vacuum-sealed packaging. That means:

• It fits through any standard door or stairwell (perfect for apartment living)
• It’s easy for one person to move alone
• It reduces wasted airspace and shipping bulk

Translation? Less stress for you, and a lower carbon footprint.

By contrast, the Vetsak Sofa arrives full-size. It’s more bulky and risky for tight spaces. No compression means more emissions, more packaging, and takes longer to deliver (most colors require special orders with 6-8 weeks wait times).

Watch how the Mellow expands in minutes without tools or heavy lifting.

🧼 Cleanability: Mellow Handles Real Life Better
‍
We tested it: spill straight on the fabric and you’re still safe.

‍Its stain-resistant, and the covers attach with Velcro, so they come off in seconds in case the stain didn’t come off easy. Just toss them in the washer. No dry cleaning bills, no drama.

Real messes. Real cleanups. Zero stress.

Vetsak? Some covers can be removed, but the Cord Velour line recommends professional cleaning. That’s expensive, and not something you want to deal with after each incident. Most people like to host, have a dog, or a baby. So why risk it? 

🛠️ Setup Time: Mellow Takes Minutes
‍
We assembled Mellow in under 10 minutes.
‍
No tools, no diagrams, no headaches. Just open, expand, Velcro on the covers, and it’s done.

Mellow: From box to binge-watch ready in one episode.

‍Vetsak takes 30-60 minutes to fully assemble. Its modular blocks require alignment, zipping covers over odd shapes, and extra hands. Not difficult, but definitely not fast.

🎨 Design & Fabric: Mellow Offers a Brighter, More Stylish Look
‍
‍Both sofas feature cloud-like softness and corduroy-style fabric. But only Mellow comes in a light, neutral color that elevates the space without making it feel heavy. Lighter colors are very popular at the moment and if you want that bright and airy feel in your home, the Mellow sofa will do the trick. Vetsak’s Cord Velour line sticks to darker tones.
‍
Unlike many “designer sofas,” Mellow balances softness and structure. It looks intentional, not slouchy.

💸 Price: Mellow Saves You Over $5,000+
‍
‍Here’s the reality check. The Vetsak 107” sofa costs $7,274.

The Mellow 110” sofa (which is wider and slightly higher seating) costs just $2,170.

That’s a $5,104 difference, (or $4,012 when the Vetask is on sale) for a sofa that looks better, arrives smarter, and fits real life better. Mario capasa wins significantly at making this style accessible. 

✅ Final Verdict: The Better Sofa for Real Life is Mellow
‍Both sofas are stylish and comfy. But Mellow wins where it counts: setup, cleanability, delivery, style, and price. The only downside we found with the mellow is more limited color options, but the grey and beige option will likely be enough for 90% of customers.

The Mellow sofa is a proof that you don’t have to overspend to get a great design.

Better comfort. Smarter delivery. Honest pricing.
