88.58" Modern Couch

Just because you live in a tiny (err, *cozy*) apartment doesn’t mean you can’t invest in some quality furniture that compliments whatever square footage you’re currently working with. Amazon customers seem to collectively agree that this loveseat offers great value for the price, and it can comfortably fit a couple people for a wine night or watch party. Also, the couch cover is removable, meaning you can easily toss it in the laundry to clean any spills or stains.

• Colors: Beige, blue, light grey, dark grey

• Material: Cotton, chenille

Glowing customer review: “This couch is such an amazing value for what you get. It looks expensive and is so comfortable. It was pretty easy to set up as a single person who doesn’t usually like assembling furniture, it only took me a little over an hour! Can definitely seat 3 people.”

Convertible Modular Sectional Sofa

Don’t be surprised if your mom loves this retro, rounded sofa as much as you do. She’ll be obsessed with the ‘70s vibes, while you’ll fall in love with the hidden storage in the center section. Plus, the easy-to-move pieces can be arranged to create a left- or right-facing sectional. You could even separate this bb into a two-seater couch and a chaise. Fancy!

• Colors: Orange, pink, white, beige, black, blue, green, grey

• Material: Teddy sherpa

Glowing customer review: “The photos of this couch don't do it justice. It's a stunning orange color. It is incredibly sturdy, firm but comfortable. The process of assembling it is super super simple, no tools required, and I accomplished it on my own! Two people would make it a total breeze. This is a lightweight but really nice piece of furniture.”

2 Seater Cushioned Couch

Dealing with a cluttered (although I prefer the term maximalist…just sayin’) and/or small space? Opt for a couch with less visual weight, like this A-frame wooden couch with mid-century modern vibes. It feels more breathable than a big, bulky sofa thanks to the open armrests and clean lines. And FYI, you can also purchase matching armchairs to go with your couch! Très chic!

• Colors: Polyester and rubberwood

• Material: Sand beige and dove gray

Glowing customer review: “I am very pleased with this sofa. I was worried about buying furniture online but this was a great value and so well-made and sturdy. I also ordered two side chairs and an accent chair, all very nice and compliment each other well.”

Reitz Sofas, Blush Pink

For any Brady Bunch fans—yes, this sofa is from THE Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady himself. But I digress! If you pride yourself on being the tastemaker of your friend group, this dusty mauve velvet baby is the couch for you. This particular piece has a scalloped backrest that is v art deco and would look gorgeous in front of a wall that holds a larger piece of art or gallery wall. It’s also a surprisingly affordable price point for a full velvet sofa.

• Colors: Beige, berry red, blush pink, honey yellow, teal, turquoise

• Material: Wood, metal, fabric

Glowing customer review: “I bought this couch for my photography studio and it’s the first thing that people mention when they walk in. The color is beautiful, it’s really soft and very sturdy. The edging on it is my favorite!”

67" Top-Grain Leather Sofa

Anyone else obsessed with the little leather cushions, or is that just me? Any studio apartment, home office, or seating nook will be instantly elevated thanks to this top-grain leather loveseat. It’s not the world’s cushiest couch, sure, but it is a damn good piece for under $800, which is a great price point for real leather. Several reviewers said the assembly was reasonably easy, especially if you had two people working on it.

• Colors: Cognac tan, black

• Material: Leather

Glowing customer review: “Absolutely gorgeous couch. Looks even better in person than the pictures. Extremely comfortable, high quality, and has more actual seating space (I’m six feet tall and can sleep on it comfortably) relative to total length than other similar couches as far as I can tell. Overall just 100% happy and satisfied with this couch. Shopped around for a long, long time for a couch (too long), and couldn't be happier with this one. Highly, highly recommend.”

U Shaped Sectional Sofa

There’s something about a sectional that just feels so comforting. It’s the ideal sofa shape for the hostess with the mostess, and you can easily create a U-shaped or L-shaped design by moving around the two ottomans. Toss a couple of pretty throw pillows and a blanket on there, and thank me when your entire living space is transformed.

• Colors: Light grey, blueish grey, black, green, dark blue,

• Material: Polyester

Glowing customer review: “The material is thick but soft and feels high quality. The company was very proactive about reaching out to let me know it would arrive in three boxes and supplied me with the tracking numbers for each. It all arrived within five days! It was very easy to assemble by myself.”

Convertible 4-Seat Sectional Sofa

Helloooo, beautiful! This extra-soft and cushy sofa comes with a smaller ottoman and a larger standalone rectangular ottoman that both open up to reveal plenty of extra storage space underneath. Some reviewers noted that it’s lower to the ground, a feature that you might prefer in order to make your ceilings feel taller than they actually are.

• Colors: Grey, green, blue, black, brown

• Material: Velvet

Glowing customer review: “We were nervous ordering a couch off Amazon, but we are extremely happy with our purchase. The condition of the couch is very nice! The blue is a true blue and we love the color. It does take a few days for the cushions to fully puff up so don’t be nervous the first day when they are a little flat, it will get better. It was quick and painless to assemble and the storage is amazing!”

Modular Sectional Sofa with Reversible Chaises

It is a truth universally acknowledged that no matter how much space you have, you somehow always end up needing more storage. But think of all the random things you could secretly store in this couch, which features two hidden storage compartments under each unassuming chaise—extra throw blankets? Your yoga mat and sneakers? An engagement ring?! Multifunctional furniture FTW.

• Colors: Grey, green, blue, black

• Material: Velvet

Glowing customer review: “Our old couch tended to be too soft, and I felt like I sat "in" it rather than on it. I also wanted flexibility in how to configure it. Storage was a great bonus too. This couch checks all of the boxes. I am reasonably handy, so it was easy to carry the pieces to my basement (about 50 lbs per box) and assemble it. The flexibility of the setup is cool too”

Westview Extra Deep Down Filled Couch

Let me introduce you to Stone & Beam, Amazon’s private-label furniture brand that boasts a ton of clean yet rustic pieces like this cream sofa with extra-deep seats that are perfect for curling up on. It also happens to be a pretty great dupe for TikTok’s favorite fluffy cloud couch (you know, the R*stor*tion H*rdw*re sofa with a $10k price tag—excuse me while I faint!) thanks to the hidden legs and soft, reversible seat cushions.

• Colors: Cream, smoke grey

• Material: Polyester

Glowing customer review: “Super pleased with what I got for my money here without a three month wait. The pillows do need rotation/fluffing — but are built so you can flip them over. Perfect deep lounging/napping sofa I was looking for. Delivery was on time and easy…but it is a large piece so make sure you measure. Comes out of the box in one piece which is nice.”

Brittany Futon & Convertible Sofa

Slightly slanted wooden legs and tufted faux leather make this sofa look more expensive than it actually is, and the back can recline or lay completely flat for overnight guests. One customer noted that the couch “seriously looks like real leather,” so if you’re envisioning unboxing a squeaky, plastic contraption, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of this leather alternative.

• Colors: 12 options

• Material: Faux leather

Glowing customer review: “For the price, I felt the couch was well worth it and looks great in my apartment! It's not as comfortable as other more expensive couches, but I have let guests sleep on it when they are visiting. Overall, I recommend it given the price, especially since many of my guests thought the couch cost double the price I got it for!”

Velvet Mid Century Modern Sofa

As far as 2024 home trends go, green velvet is seriously having a moment. There’s something really luxurious about a big, cushy statement piece like this mid-century modern sofa that’s so lush and green that your plant babies will be jealous. The couch comes with two matching bolster pillows (like, how devastatingly chic is it to own ~bolster pillows~?) and, according to reviews, isn’t too hard to put together on your own or with the help of a handy friend.

• Colors: 11 options

• Material: Velvet

Glowing customer review: “The color is true as shown, the install can be done within as quick as 20 mins. Although it’s a small piece of furniture, the whole structure feels pretty durable. My favorite part - the leather just feels so cool and nice to the touch, especially because it's getting hot in summer now!”

94" Modern Curved Sofa

Just look at all that fluffy bouclé goodness. The looped, textured yarn couch and the three matching pillows that come with it will immediately add hygge to your living room. The body of the sofa is made of a thick, padded foam sponge base (rather than down) which is perf for vegans or anyone who generally prefers to avoid animal products. You can even buy a lil matching swivel chair in the same cozy fabric, if your heart so desires!

• Colors: 13 options

• Material: Bouclé

Glowing customer review: “This sofa is my dream come true. The design is cute and the fabric is so soft. It fits perfectly in my family room and seats three, probably even could seat four small adults. The sofa is soft and not too firm but still gives really great support. I could not be happier with this sofa.”

Futon Sofa Bed

Have you ever seen a more inviting-looking couch in your entire life? This faux leather bad boy folds out into a short twin bed, which is convenient for any surprise overnight guests that you’d prefer to relegate to the living room. And if that wasn’t enough, you can actually adjust the armrest and the backrest to your preferred angles for maximum comfort, whether you’re WFH-ing or snoozing.

• Colors: Brown, dark grey

• Material: Faux leather

Glowing customer review: “It took me less than ten minutes to put together and that includes getting it out of the box. It's for my office and it fits perfectly. And it's very comfortable. I couldn't be more pleased.“

83.46" Pink Velvet Couch

How does one say no to a pink couch? Answer: You don’t. The smooth, rounded design and glamorous velvet fabric are a maximalist dream, TBH. Art deco fans (and pretty much anyone who aspired to become a mermaid as a child) will love the striped, seashell-like tufting, and it’s surprisingly well under the $1000 mark despite the luxe design. The gold legs are a sweet finishing touch.

• Colors: Beige, black, green, pink, beige, teddy cream

• Material: Velvet

Glowing customer review: "Love how soft the fabric is and the comfort level is great. I’m using it for my waiting area in my business. Customers are complimenting on her comfortable and striking it is!"

L-Shape Sectional Sofa

PSA: You can get a sectional even if you’re working with a couch budget of a few hundred dollars. This lattice tufted sofa comes in 12 different colors, and the money you’ll save on this baby totally outweighs the hour or two you’ll need to spend assembling it. I think the gold statement legs are beaut, but if they aren’t your cup of tea, one reviewer noted that they spray-painted the legs with matte black paint to achieve a different look.

• Colors: Dark grey, light grey, camel, creamy white, grey-blue, peacock blue, black, beige

• Material: Chenille, linen

Glowing customer review: “I am so pleasantly surprised by this couch! I absolutely love it. I am really pleased with how comfortable it is. It comes vacuum sealed so all the cushions are compressed. I am very happy with this couch given its price tag. It is big enough that my two-year-old and I can snuggle up on it and the storage ottoman I had before seems to fit right in.”

Modern Velvet Sofa

Anyone who’s in search of a Very Soft Couch™️ should look no further than this unique upholstered sofa with drool-worthy details from sleek cushions and a curved backrest to exposed metal legs. The chic cushions stretch long enough to seat multiple people, and you’ll get to select from 14 different shades of bold, gorgeous velvet.

• Colors: Beige, black, blue, orange, green, cream, pink, turquoise

• Material: Velvet

Glowing customer review: “I am not usually one to leave reviews but it is well deserved. This sofa arrived two days before its expected delivery date and is just as gorgeous as the pics. Easy to assemble and puppy approved. The fur (and drool if you have a big guy like me) wipe right off. Do not hesitate to purchase this item.”
