Ive owned and lounged on my fair share of sofas, including testing couches here at The Spruce.

The one quality our favorite couches all have in comfort?
Welcoming, durable cushions that offer support for everyone who plops down on them.
And trust us when we say you could spend hours (or maybe even an entire weekend!)

At first, this ultra-plush and inviting couch was a bittoofluffy for our liking.
Additionally, we didnt have the best experience with West Elms white-glove delivery service.

Ultimately, our less-than-perfect delivery experience didnt detract from how incredibly comfortable this couch was for us.
We also really loved the slipcover on this couch.
Cleaning stains and spills, or dirt in general, was a breeze thanks to this detail.
The only detail we werent huge fans of is the cushion fill material.
This couch features polyurethane foam, which is overall less durable than other types of foam.
But, since its priced at under $1,000, we dont think this is a dealbreaker at all.
and provided us with deep, supportively firm cushions.
We loved the wide, low armrests, which provided the perfect place to perch and lean.
We were impressed by the smooth-gliding pull-out mechanism, and we loved that a supportivememory foam mattresswas included.
It offered enough comfort for adults to sleep soundly, without aches or pains come morning.
That being said, it should be perfectly comfy for shorter or average-height users.
When this sectional first arrived for testing, we immediately noticed how huge it is in person.
We love how welcoming it feels from every angle.
Additionally, we found during testing that the seat cushions are prone to slipping and movement.
That being said, we dont think the fluffing or movement of the cushions is a dealbreaker.
But we also found the couchs cushions were soft and inviting; we liken it to a firm cloud.
Over the course of our testing period, this couch handled everything effortlessly.
But thats really the only drawback we discovered.
If youre looking for a couch thats better suited to napping (or simply want one thats extra comfy!
), we also recommendWest Elms Harmony Modular Sleeper Sectional, which is supremely comfortable and inviting.
We use the couches daily, treating them like any other piece of functional furniture in our homes.
The most durable couch frames are solid hardwood, which is tough and least likely to bow under weight.
Kiln-dried hardwood frames are evenmoredurable, but they do tend to cost a bit more.
If it doesnt, the frame is likely too flexible and prone to warping or breaking.
Next, youll want to consider cushion fill.
And thats ultimately a personal preference.
If your cushions aretoosoft or sagging after a few years, thats a good signits time to replace them.
Also, be sure to measure the doorways and any stairs leading to the room.
Youll want to see to it theres clearance to fit every piece of the couch into the room.
If youre especially pressed for space, youll want to consider purchasing sofas that aremeant for small spaces.

Today, sectionals are an incredibly popular style of couch.
Cant Settle on a Couch Style?
Many of our favorite couches offer performance fabrics.

you could shop for kid- and pet-friendly, indoor/outdoor, durable, and stain-resistant upholstery.
Personally, I recommend looking for performance fabrics, which tend to be the most durable.
These are some of the most common couch and sofa styles, but there are many variations of each.
Depending on the retailer, standard delivery may come at a flat rate.
Its convenient, but its also often expensive.
Wondering if its worth assembling your own couch?
It really depends, as the amount of assembly will vary from product to product.
