The 19 Most Comfortable Couches of 2024, According to Experts and Reviews

We couldn’t put together a helpful list of comfy couches to shop without giving you an A+ option from the World’s Most Convenient Shopping Destination (yep, the ‘Zon). Amazon’s home brand Stone & Beam has an extra-deep, down-filled couch that’s currently under $1k. It’s not a fluffy, cushy, pillow-y sofa—more like a sturdy, supportive-yet-soft situation, which is ideal for longevity…and back pain!

THE REVIEWS: One customer wrote, “My husband and I have fallen asleep on the couch together a handful of times. The seats are very deep and comfortable. You can comfortably fit 3 people on the couch! I’ve had 4 of my girlfriends and myself (5 ladies total) sit on the couch at once. It’s cozy and comfortable. I love how classic and quality it looks, yet it also brings such a home-y vibe. :)”

ICYMI, everyone’s favorite still-married Bachelor couple has a home brand, and it’s just as cozy and classic as you’d think! Their Bailey Sofa boasts hundreds of glowing, 5-star reviews… and BTW, it’s huge. This couch is super deep and offers plenty of space to curl up on—one reviewer said that it’s about the size of a Twin XL bed, if that helps for ~visualization~. Netflix and chill, anyone?

THE REVIEWS: One customer wrote, “This couch is huge! When the description said “deep-seated,” I honestly did not expect how deep-seated it was until I saw it in person. I’d say it’s the size of an X-Large Twin bed. I’m 5’4” and sitting all the way to the back pillows, my feet barely touch the edge of the couch. Plenty of room for a 2nd person to snuggle with when laying on it sideways. This couch is also so comfortable! The seat pillows have the firmness and bounce of a springy mattress without the springs, but also soft enough to just melt into it on a lazy day for the best naps. The fabric is also so soft. I’m absolutely in love with this couch!”

So, you don’t have three grand to drop on a couch. Maybe it’s your first apartment, or you’re simply putting your cash towards other things. We hear ya! This budget-friendly couch is currently on sale for just under $650 (yes, that includes free White Glove delivery) and it’s just as sturdy as a similar couch at a much, much higher price point. Expect to feel extra-cozy while nestled on this couch thanks to the soft corduroy fabric.

THE REVIEWS: One customer wrote, “GUYS!! IT’S SO NICE! The green is a bit lighter than what is shown in the picture/description, but this couch is still perfect! I do believe natural light, time of day, wall color, etc., can make it look much darker if you’re looking for that moody feel. It’s exactly what I have been looking for. Not too big, not too small. It’s super soft to the touch, and the bench cushion is stiff. My husband and I wanted a stiffer couch to hold up a bit longer so it’s perfect! It’s heavy and sturdy, definitely does not look or feel cheap. No weird smell. Amazing find on Wayfair!!”

D.I.Y. fanatics and aspiring home flippers might be looking for something a little more customizable to fit their living spaces perfectly. Enter the Sactional by LoveSac! Everything from general sectional configuration to the side style, back style, color, and fabric can be completely personalized to your heart’s content. P.S. If you’re looking for maximum comfort, we’re fans of the chenille and velvet! The lounge vibes will be immaculate.

THE REVIEWS: One customer wrote, “As soon as we sat on the Sactional in the store we instantly had to have it. It was very comfortable and we loved the versatility. We have a small living room at the moment but loved that when we move into a larger space you can add pieces instead of having to buy an entire new sofa set. It was comfortable from the get go. No need to break in and we love the tweed fabric. Also love the fact that the covers can be removed and thrown in the wash. It was a little pricey but so far we do not regret making this big purchase.”

Yep, you can get a supremely cozy couch for under $1,000, and this foam-filled option from Wayfair is proof. Upholstered in the fabric and color of your choice, this cutie is firm yet comfy, with sinuous springs for ample support, as well as removable seat and back cushions for easy maintenance. Oh, and did we mention that it includes four matching throw pillows?

THE REVIEWS: “I am obsessed with this couch!” one reviewer says. “Buying a couch online made me very nervous but I couldn’t find what I wanted at a decent price so I looked to Wayfair. I’m blown away. This couch is exactly what I wanted: comfy, deep, and attractive! Custom fabric for $1,000? I can’t say enough good things!”

Because it’s modular, you can add on other pieces from the Movie Night Collection. And if you’re pressed for space, you can also switch to the 76-inch-wide condo version of this sofa.

THE REVIEWS: “The Movie Night couch is a stylish and comfortable addition to any living space,” reports one reviewer. “Compared to my Restoration Hardware Cloud couch, I find the Movie Night to have a slightly firmer base, which is beneficial for sitting upright and entertaining guests. The fabric is also incredibly soft, and the cushions are filled with the perfect amount of feathers for both structure and comfort.”

And just like the Sven, you can also opt for polyester fabric if velvet isn’t your thing.

THE REVIEWS: “I am obsessed with this couch!” writes one customer. “It’s exactly what I was looking for: It’s extremely comfortable, the material is soft and luxurious, and it’s long enough for a 6’6″ man to lay down with his legs stretched out. I love the mid-century vibe and the price was mind-blowingly cheap. I had been eyeing the Article Sven couch and this is SUCH a good dupe!”

Not to toot our own horn or whateva, but this couch has our stamp of approval when it comes to comfort and style. Reviewers looovee the super plush velvet upholstery and versatility thanks to the interchangeable chaise. It’s available in a classic ivory color and two green options if you’re feeling spunky. With its narrow mailbox arms, durable design, and modern tufting it’s giving vintage glam without making too big of a statement.

If durability is your top priority, then the Nomad is a must.

THE REVIEWS: “I absolutely LOVE my sofa,” one person raves. “The quality and comfort levels are outstanding. I spent a lot of time looking around for something that was easy to set up, quick to be delivered, and didn’t skimp out on comfort levels, and this fit the bill for all of those requirements. Another huge plus for me was how easy it is to clean!”

You can choose between a bench seat or three individual cushions, as well as three leg options and two fabric options in five colorways each.

THE REVIEWS: As one review reads, “I was so nervous to buy a couch online without testing it out, but Sabai was the best option for truly sustainable furniture. The couch not only looks gorgeous, but it’s sooo comfy and was a breeze to put together! I fluff the back pillows regularly and have flipped the bottom cushions once so far after about 4 months of use, and the couch still looks full/fluffy and brand new.”

It also comes in six wood stain colors, nearly 300 fabric choices, and a shorter or longer option, depending on the size of your space.

THE REVIEWS: “This couch proved to be the happy medium between form and function,” one person notes. “The seat is firm enough that you don’t feel like you’re sinking into it—added bonus that my aging parents are able to get up from it without assistance. The back and arm cushions give it more of a soft, lounging feel that works well for the casual family room where we’re using this couch.”

A couch or sofa is an investment that should last you for years (if not a lifetime!), and while you can always jazz it up with a slipcover, the couch itself should be q-u-a-l-i-t-y. Here are a few things to consider before buying that comfy sofa of your dreams:

Find the right fill

Your seat cushion filling is the biggest factor in determining how it feels, so you’ll want to find the one that’s right for you. Foam is the most common filling for couches, with the density of that foam determining how firm your sofa feels. High-resilient foam cushions are durable and supportive, but they won’t feel as cloud-like as feather- or down-filled cushions, which are best for folks who like a super-soft sofa. And while you’ll find budget-friendly couches filled with polyester or batting, neither of those options tends to last or provide good support.

Choose a fabric that’s best for you

Want a neutral-toned couch that’ll last forever and work with various color palettes? Or maybe you’re looking for a jewel-toned pop of color to anchor your living room? Whether you want something luxurious, extra-durable, or even washable, we’ve got options for ya, so just think about your decor (and any fur babies/actual babies that may wreak havoc on your new piece). Removable fabric covers that you can throw in the washing machine are the easiest to maintain over time, but leather is a great no-stain alternative since you’ll be able to wipe any spills right off of the fabric. Also, remember that natural fabrics feel softer, but they aren’t nearly as easy to clean and maintain as synthetic fabrics.

Determine the best height and depth

In general, a deeper sofa tends to come with a lower profile to give that extra-comfy, bed-like feel. However! If you’re on the taller side and don’t wanna struggle while getting on and off your couch, then check out the height and make sure the seat isn’t *too* close to the ground. We recommend a more shallow couch if you don’t like sinking deep into your seat or if you plan on frequently sitting on your couch, say, with a laptop or lap tray. Similarly, you’ll want to make sure that your spine is supported by a high-back silhouette that’ll offer you more support as you’re sitting and lounging.
