A sofa, like a copy of Pride and Prejudice, often has a colorful cover, can be appreciated by academics, and cushions your face when you fall asleep reading Pride and Prejudice. Get a sublime face-cushion with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $200 toward customizable sofas, sectionals and accessories at BuildASofa. There is a $99 charge for delivery within 30 miles of the show room.

BuildASofa's team of designers tweaks and modifies furniture to customer specifications, crafting cushioned products to fit any domicile. The show room brims with more than 60 different models, as well as a slew of accessories, including simple side chairs ($325) that keep couches company. Customers can also pair a standard fully customizable sofa or sectional ($1,195+) with a small ottoman ($325) to buoy feet above the floor and away from imaginary alligators.

Starting with kiln-dried solid woods, BuildASofa's furnituresmiths sculpt modern, classic, transitional, or ethereal pieces to within one inch of customers' size specifications, employing one of eight leg and base colors. Patrons can then drape their creation in one of 1,500 assorted fabrics, including basic microsuede and twill or upgraded fabrics with enhanced design work, richer textures, and embroidered treasure maps for an additional cost. Personalized furniture typically emerges from BuildASofa after four weeks of intensive sculpting. Consult the website's frequently asked questions page for more information on the customizing process.
