The 20 Most Comfortable Couches of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Even at just two pieces, the overstuffed cushions in this Sundays sofa provide maximum comfort for family lounging. You can build on to the modular pieces over time, so start small and the sofa can grow with you. “Most importantly, everyone in my family finds this sofa ridiculously comfortable, despite our various sizes of tall, short, baby, and cat,” Deputy Managing Editor Olivia Hosken says. “In fact, one of my cats is now visibly annoyed whenever I sit on our other sofa instead of the Movie Night and she has to choose between cuddles with me or her new favorite spot.”

Let’s start with a Serena & Lily sofa that Cherner claims is the most comfortable sofa. “My family has this sofa, so I have lounged on it many times. Yes, it is as comfortable as it looks,” she says. It’s available in several sizes, configurations, and colors, so feel free to completely customize it to your space. “Aside from the cushions, which feel more like pillows you’d sleep on, what makes this couch so cozy is that fact that it’s quite low to the ground, so getting on and off isn’t really a hassle,” Cherner adds. Did we mention this sectional comes in over 100 fabric types, allowing you to customize it to suit your decor tastes?

Few brands craft luxurious sofas like Maiden Home. Rather than offer their loyal clients a bevy of options, which, more often than not, is more stressful than helpful, Maiden Home sells 13 styles, including The Jones, a modular option we are shamelessly obsessed with. We love it in the sea foam green pictured, but if you’re into something more neutral, opt for any of the brand’s myriad fabric options. Plus, it comes with free white glove delivery because it’s made to order, meaning no one is going into a warehouse and pulling out a sofa that’s been sitting on a shelf for months.

With the moody berry blue performance fabric and deep, plush seats, this Burrow lounger is pretty dreamy. As you can imagine, the dream seat is in the corner, against the soft back cushions and the included matching throw pillow. The extended seat along the side is a close second. Choose between six fabric colors and three leg finishes to personalize it to your space. It’s also modular, so if this particular configuration doesn’t work in your space, switch it up.

Since West Elm is a reliable brand for almost everyone, you can trust that, even without testing it in person, it will arrive exactly as the website promises. Case in point: This sofa, which is just as comfortable as it looks. One thing we will say, though, is that the cushions aren’t sink-in soft. They’re a bit overstuffed, which we’d consider a good thing, but it makes for a firmer seat. If you like to sit on pillowy soft sofas, this may not be the one for you. Otherwise, grab it in four sizes and more than 100 fabrics. Did we mention that it includes free white glove delivery?

This is another sofa that feels as comfortable as it looks, courtesy of the foam, fiber, and pocket spring-filled seat cushions and included throw pillows (the ones that match, not the pink ones). One customer even said, “So impressed with this sofa. We ordered two for our living room. They are SO comfortable, substantial, and I feel like the fabric is going to hold up well to our dogs. The fabric is more subtle than a traditional bouclé which I love. Super impressed!” Well, there you have it.
