Modular sofa comparison: Jasper vs Delta vs Concerto vs Kato

How do I know which KING modular sofa is right for me?

We get asked this question a lot.

And, for a good reason. Your sofa is more than just a place to sit. From movie marathons to being the spot where you unwind after a hard day's work, your sofa is one of the most used pieces of furniture in your home.

At KING, we have been helping customers find their perfect sofa for nearly five decades, and we know there is a lot to consider when buying a new sofa.

Whether you are contemplating purchasing a Jasper, Delta, Concerto or Kato, this article explores what each modular sofa has to offer.

We will compare each on style, price, versatility, and package options. After reading this sofa comparison, you will be able to make an informed decision about which modular sofa is best for you.

The KING Difference

Before we compare each modular sofa it’s important to know that all KING sofas have some common features. We call this the KING Difference.

All KING sofas feature:

The innovative steel frame that comes with a 25-year warranty.
Postureflex® seating system similar to that found in luxury European cars.
Tailored covers can be removed or replaced for cleaning or a whole new look.
Over 200 premium fabrics and luxury European leathers to choose from.

It’s also worth noting that while most customers will choose from our popular sofa packages, we can customise modules to create a package that suits your specific requirements and space.

Watch below to learn about the KING steel frame difference.

Jasper

First unveiled in 2003, Jasper is our best-selling designs.

Our customers choose Jasper because of its timeless and relaxed style, comfort, versatility, and integrated timber shelving.

Jasper gives you the flexibility to customise the comfort of the seat cushions. Depending on your comfort preferences, you can tailor the seat cushions with memory foam or a feather overlay.

Jasper also features a detachable bolster for additional support and comfort.

Jasper as featured in Whiteley Riverstone has been paired with a Quay Console Table, Issho Coffee Table, Apero Coffee Table, Marion Rug and Havana Cushion

Style

Recognised for design excellence, Jasper embraces a timeless aesthetic while delivering contemporary flair and a relaxed style.

Integrated timber veneer shelves contrast with soft, elegant materials to bring texture and depth to the space. Large seat cushions allow for deep-seated comfort, while the arms and backs adjust to the same height forming a clean architectural line. 

It is important to note that you can choose to have fabric arms rather than timber shelves. And that while the low profile provides a grounded and welcoming aesthetic it may not be ideal for people who prefer easy access to clean under their sofa.

Price

Jasper is one of our more expensive modular sofas. It is also one of our largest designs with many layouts and packages to choose from. You can also build your own custom package.

Jasper price breakdown:

Jasper Sofa packages range in price from $8,478 for Jasper Package 13 to $14,747 for Jasper Package 7B. During sale periods, these packages can be up to 50% off.
A two-seater end module costs $4,380
Single modules, which you can add at any point, start from $2,694.

Jasper features integrated shelves, customisable in a range of timber veneer finishes, including Onyx, American Walnut and Smoked Oak.

Versatility

Jasper is a very versatile sofa. Modular components rearrange into almost limitless configurations, including a luxurious guest bed. Customised options include clever hidden storage, integrated shelving, and a media console.

Jasper’s flexible modular design is a good choice for growing families or those who move regularly and need a sofa that can adapt to a different space and layout.

One of the many benefits of buying a Jasper is you can always add additional modules and components in the future.

Package options

Our popular Jasper Package options range from a modest two-seater sofa with a chaise to a large 3-seater that features twin chaises and can seat five to seven comfortably.

Jasper Package 13 and Package 13b are two of the smallest package options, which:

The smallest Jasper options are Package 13 and Package 13B, which measure 2860 x 1820.

While you can add additional modules and change the position of the chaise between left and right, it is important to know Jasper is a large and heavy sofa, which may not be easy for one person to move or rearrange.

Versatility

Concerto is completely customisable. You have the freedom to choose from straight and curved modules and then tailor with your choice of arms and seat sizes, timber veneer shelves and Smart Pockets™ that allow for integrated accessories.

As a fully flexible modular design, you choose the level of comfort that is right for you by specifying the type of cushioning, and how wide and deep the seating is. Optional shelves are crafted from premium timber veneer and available in three finishes.

Concerto works well in larger spaces and may not suit small living spaces.

Kato

Characterised by clean lines, a distinctive low profile and floating platforms that invite deep-seated comfort, Kato is architecturally sophisticated.

Kato includes the option of a double or grand double chaise — truly perfect for lounging and relaxing together.

Beckoning you with sink-in comfort, Kato's double chaise makes a striking statement and is the perfect spot to unwind. Featured in Boyd Linen, origin Silver leather, and American Walnut timber.

Style

The option of curved corner modules bring flow to your living space and offer a different silhouette than a traditional L-shaped sofa.

The low-profile floating platforms rest lightly on stylised legs and allow easy access for cleaning.

The sofa arms and backs are set at the same height to create an architectural line across Kato’s design. This further adds to the contemporary aesthetic as well as provides additional support.

Price

Designed for grand-scale everyday luxury, Kato’s size is reflected in its price — as is the artistry and quality materials, which are in the DNA of all KING sofas.

Kato price breakdown:

Kato sofa packages range in price from $4,290 for a three-seater with chaise up to $15,513 for a grand five-seater modular sofa featuring a double chaise. Kato packages and can be up to 50% off during sale periods.

Optional integrated smart lighting
Integrated timber components
Removable bolster on the back cushion
Tailored covers in luxurious fabrics or premium leathers exclusive to KING

Drawbacks of Kato

With a low profile, Kato has a grounded look, which will not appeal to everyone.

With deep seats and a grand double chaise, Kato is ideal for lounging and might not be suitable if you want to sit upright or want your sofa to offer high back support.

The size is another important consideration. Kato is a large family sofa. The smallest package seats four, and all packages are either L-shaped or U-shaped.
