Best for a Budget

2. Bonaterra Sand

Best Features: - chenille seat cushions - low price tag modular sofa with thick armrests + throw pillows - color options swatches + other upholstery options - reversible chaise

Size: 97"W x 65"D x 35"H

Comfort Factor: "Comfort differs from person to person, but in my expert opinion, it's better to start with a firmer feel, as all couches will gradually soften with time. The degree to which it softens differs from couch to couch; here, it starts out extra firm so you get a relatively firm feel over time." - Meis Elnoiemey, LS Designer

Featured Review: "Great couch with lots of space, had hoped it would be softer but with time likely will!" - ABeasley

Part of comfort comes from comfort of convenience, and you can truly unwind on this couch with all the movie theater and tech charging amenities. And it's all wrapped in one sleek, modern design." - Meis Elnoiemey, LS Designer

Best Splurge

4. Dante Light Grey

Best Features: - high-quality L-shaped design for smaller spaces - good resiliency

Size: 103.2"W x 86"D x 32.3"H

Cloud Factor: "For a high-end couch, this is still not even that expensive. It's a great value for the best quality. On a cloud-range scale, it's more firm. It'll keep you supported and floating but not sinking-in. I recommend trying it out to feel the resistance and comfort yourself!" - Meis Elnoiemey, LS Designer

Featured Review: "Looks fantastic, it’s comfortable and the ottoman and sleeper was an added bonus I wasn’t even looking for. Great price!" - A Regular Customer
