13 Best Pit Couches and Sectionals for Super Spacious Lounging

If you want the ultimate definition of a “pit couch,” the Kova Pit by Albany Park checks all the boxes. Reasons why I love this pit couch: (1) Its high quality, not-too-hard-not-too-plush cushions provide the perfect amount of “sink,” (2) it comes in 13 luxe fabrics and has the option of storage or no storage, and (3) it’s super high quality in looks and feel, yet it’s a relatively reasonably priced couch compared to others for its size and features. *Drops mic, adds to cart*

Glowing Customer Review: “Stuck in our pit and don’t want to be saved. We received our Kova Pit in green velvet on June 24. Assembly happened on June 26—easy peasy. Since then, no one has gotten off this thing. I’m trying to lay ground rules for who can ‘have the sofa’ and when, and it just isn’t working. We’re at an impasse. Don’t bother sending help because no one will get up to answer the door.”

I’ll be the one to acknowledge the elephant in the room: Pit couches ain’t cheap, especially if you want a quality piece. That’s why when I found this tester-loved one on Wayfair for just over $1,000 (FYI, which is basically unheard of), I knew it had to make this list. It’s totally modular, super supportive yet comfy so it won’t sink too much, and a breeze to assemble.

Glowing Customer Review: “So happy with this sectional! The quality is great. It’s cozy—not too firm, not too soft. Delivered within a week and took a few hours to assemble. I bought some extra throw pillows to fill it out more! I would certainly recommend it!”

Amazon is my go-to place for all things beauty, fashion, and home decor, but I was today years old when I realized I could get a really affordable, yet quality couch there, too, like this modular sectional pit. It’s super (as in, testers RAVE about it) easy to assemble, comes with storage, has a flexible seating arrangement (aka you can transform it into a pit couch), and it’s really freakin’ affordable.

Glowing Customer Review: “I recently purchased a sectional couch for my loft, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my choice! This magnificent piece of furniture not only met but exceeded all my expectations, from the comfort, ease of assembly, shipping time, and overall aesthetics in the room.”

Behold: The most genius couch I have ever laid my eyes on. On any ol’ day, it looks just like a couch—albeit, a comfy, foam-filled, luxe corduroy fabric couch—but whenever you want, it transforms into a sofa *bed*. It is held together by three mobile metal bars, two “mattresses,” and two angled cushions that are easily taken apart (seriously, so easy you can do it every single day if you wanted to) and it magically acts as your new pit couch. And, yes, this is on my wishlist, thanks for asking.

Glowing Customer Review: “Unique sofa, can’t believe this hasn’t been thought of before! Although the delivery took a little longer than expected, it was definitely worth the wait. The sofa is so comfy, the quality is great, and the color we choose (dark green) is so beautiful. I’m finding many more ways that you can set up the sofa other than the three that are displayed, it’s really up to you how you want to chill.” —Trustpilot

I get it, a pit sectional is one giant square piece of furniture that takes up a lot of room. Which is why it’s nice to have a modular couch that you can move around when you need a lil extra space, and then when it’s time to veg out, move it immediately into the pit couch of your dreams.

Glowing Customer Review: “The sofa arrived timely and was not difficult to put together. Within the first week, a friend spilled red wine, and the green fabric showed no signs of it almost immediately. It’s comfortable and makes our space feel like home.”

A pit couch for under $1,000, you say? Make that under *$900 (and actually under *$800 during its current sale). Shocking, to say the least. This big (I repeat, b-i-g), low-priced pit couch has reviews loving how quick and easy it is to put together. However, do note that the couch can feel flat upon arrival, and due to the lower price, testers have added cushioning or filling to mitigate the problem. They noted that this solution is easy and totally makes it worth the money. Translation: you, too, can own a pit couch even with a lower budget.

Glowing Customer Review: “I knew from the other reviews that it was going to be a little flat. But for the price, I can go and buy some filler. If you’re looking for a nice big comfy couch this is it. After I added the extra cushioning to it, it’s a five-star couch. But for the price and the setup I would definitely purchase again if I had space.”

Say hello to *the* most customizable sectional—or as Love Sac calls it, sactional, on the market. Choose your arm style, backrest style, configuration (that’s moveable), stain-resistant, washable cover, and a million add-ons and accessories. I personally own this couch, and I now know what I’ve been missing all these years. A good quality piece of furniture like this is absolutely worth the investment because it’s designed and built to last for life.

Glowing Customer Review: “I spent a bunch of money on this couch and it’s amazing. Stealthtech is great and we have changed the configuration a few times and now it’s perfect. Washable covers are key as well. Worth every penny!!!! Take your time and it will be worth it.“

Comin’ in with an almost nearly perfect rating, this four-piece modular corduroy upholstered sectional is one of the best pit couches on the market, IMO. Not only does it come with a FREE white glove delivery (i.e., movers will carry it into your room of choice, assemble it, and remove all packaging, free of charge), but it also is really freakin’ affordable and is filled with super comfy foam.

Glowing Customer Review: “I am OBSESSED with this couch. As soon as they took it out of the box to set it up, it was like love at first sight. The color is BEAUTIFUL! It is much deeper than I realized and it is gigantic but it’s well worth the cost and quite frankly, the best purchase I’ve made in quite some time! The material is so soft and the cushions are firm enough for support but soft enough to sink into. I honestly can’t say enough about this couch!”

Details:

This pit couch is that girl. Basically, a cloud couch dupe turned pit couch, this six-piece sectional is what dreams are made of. It’s beyond plush (looking and feeling), casual yet contemporary, and will 100 percent make your space look like all those inspo pics you have saved on your Pinterest board.

Glowing Customer Review: “This sectional is so comfy. It is a poly/down blend so it’s cushy but you don’t completely sink in. It’s comfortable and supports you! Every guest we’ve had over has sat in it and loved it. Shawn and I have even slept overnight on the sectional which in my opinion says a lot about the comfort!” —For the Home Blog

Details:

Filled with high-density foam, this pit couch is as comfy as it is pretty. It’s overfilled and upholstered by hand, meaning that basically as soon as you sit down, you’ll sink into the comfort of this pit couch and never want to leave.

Glowing Customer Review: “I seriously cannot describe the comfort that is this couch. I immediately sit down and can’t get up. Our family loves the pit style for movie nights and just hanging around on. 10/10 recommend.”

Details:

I get it, a pit couch is typically a larger, rectangular piece that takes up a whole lot of room. Translation: Those of us with smaller living rooms have a hard time finding the space to accommodate one. That’s why this West Elm couch is such a game-changer. Designed as a pop-up sleeper sectional, you can easily convert it into a mini pit couch any time you wanna lounge around, but when you need the space, you can quickly tuck it back away.

Glowing Customer (Reddit) Review: “We’ve had friends sleeping on it, we use it every day. When it arrived the seat cushions were stiff but they softened up with use :)! Very happy with the purchase and it’s still going strong 2 years and 27 days later.”

Details:

Truth be told, there aren’t a lot of leather pit sectionals on the market. This tufted leather one is as comfy as it is gorgeous thanks to its super well-constructed, 100% top-grain, semi-aniline leather fabric. Choose between a charcoal, white, or taupe leather finish for the ultimate statement piece in your home. Plus, the curved backrests are to die for comfy.

Glowing Customer (Reddit) Review: “My wife and I have lusted after it ever since we sat in one at the store like 5 years ago. It’s really nice leather and the curved backs are super comfortable to recline in. So worth it. Truly comfortable, it’s at a great height for watching movies and the perfect height for the audio. It actually sounds like it improved sound quality. Maybe the curved backs capture the sound? I dunno. The subwoofer seems to hit harder and resonate better through this couch than the previous sectional we had. It might all be an ear placebo, but I’m really enjoying it.”

Crate and Barrel is one of those home stores that you know will deliver on quality—no matter how many kids, pets, or accidental spills occur in your household on a daily basis. It can easily be wiped clean and combines style with durability. There are over 200 fabric colors and 14 leg styles, andddd the pit couch design is beyond comfy.

Glowing Customer Review: “I’ve always LOVED Crate and Barrel furniture, but with 3 kids and a high-energy dog I was afraid to invest in what I considered to be a luxury. However, after discovering their Douglas fabric collection, I can honestly say that I’ve never had a more beautiful, comfortable, and durable sofa. “
