Best Traditional Couches & Sofas
The traditional sofa is exactly how it sounds: simple, classic, and functional. Unlike sectionals, they usually seat up to four and do not pull apart or feature different "sections" to sit on. You can snag one from Wayfair, Amazon, or Walmart for as low as $200, or scroll through Allform and Article for some higher quality seats at $1,000 and up.

Best Patio & Outdoor Couches
Patio furniture should be ready to handle all kinds of weather — meaning the materials are waterproof (or at least water-resistant), durable, and in it for the long haul. A nice outdoor couch also features detachable cushions and seat covers that you can easily throw in the wash, bring in before rain, or leave out to dry after an unexpected storm.
World Market Gray Metal and Wood Alicante II Outdoor Bench
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars and 23 reviews
Couch Potatoes Say: "I'm impressed with this couch set! It's well made, feels like high-quality foam padding. Nice neutral color wood...There are velcro tabs to keep the cushions in place. It's more expensive than other big box store couch brands but definitely worth it."

Sand & Stable Norris Loveseat with Cushion
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars and 826 reviews

Best Loveseats
These couches were made for, "holding two people close to one another," and thus the cutesy name. These sofas are great for small living spaces or offices, or could add some flair to larger spaces in need of a cool but functional accent piece.World Market Camel Leanna Tufted Loveseat
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars and 140 reviews
Couch Potatoes Say: "The loveseat looks so much better in person. The online pics don't do it justice. Apart from being beautiful, it's comfy too. The kids, my husband, and my father-in-law loved it. That's three generations-making it a cross-generational pleaser! Great buy!"

The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 183 reviews
Couch Potatoes Say: "This is a gorgeous little sofa. I've recently moved into a small studio apartment, but I didn't want to give up the luxury of having a couch! This fits perfectly in my small space and is very comfortable. It took no time to assemble (literally just screwed in the legs) and is perfect for petite people. I'm 5'1" and it is perfect for me. The fabric is also really nice and feels durable."

CB2 Gwyneth Boucle Loveseat
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars and 27 reviews
Couch Potatoes Say: "Overall we love this loveseat, no pun intended! My husband is nearly 6 feet and I'm 5 feet 3 inches, we don't always find the same furniture comfortable. We both found comfort in this piece — it has great depth and we really like how firm the piece is. It fits two more than comfortably and can easily accommodate three."

Best Sectionals
Score yourself a sectional for you and your roommates, your family, or for anywhere big groups like to gather. These couches are usually a larger investment but are worth it for the extra legroom — plus, they make for the comfiest naps.
Castlery Tana Sectional Sofa
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars and 122 reviews
Couch Potatoes Say: "We were looking to switch out our old and heavy sectional. This sofa was a great swap, as it has the modern feel we were going for. It takes up less space than our other sectional but still is able to fit our whole family. I also love that it's kid and pet-friendly, as we have both in our home!"

Raymor & Flanigan Whitman Microfiber Sofa Chaise
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars and 628 ratings
Couch Potatoes Say: "We love this couch. It's so comfortable and the color is exactly what I wanted. The bonus is it resists dog hair. I have a husky and his hair just wipes off. He loves the extra ottoman we bought so he can cuddle with us during movie nights. The chaise portion flips from side to side so easily so you can reconfigure your room as needed."

Burrow Block Nomad Double Chaise Sectional
The Hype: 5 out of 5 stars and 901 reviews

We had a friend spill wine on our couch literally the weekend we received it and the stain came out so easily. I also have three dogs and their fur doesn’t show up on the light grey color at all!"
