Here's the thing: Comfort is totally subjective. Just like when you're shopping for new mattresses and bed sheets, a couch that feels comfy and cozy to one person might feel too plush or firm to another, because it all depends on what ya like. However! The most comfortable couch options do tend to have a few things in common, including durable frames, foam or down-filled cushions, and plush fabric. And whether you're looking for a durable, low-maintenance sofa or a luxurious, feather-filled stunner, we've got all the most comfortable sofas on the market rn to help you make your decision.

If comfort is your top priority when shopping for a new sofa, there are several important factors to consider, including seat depth, seat height, cushion fill, and upholstery fabric. The depth and height you choose all depend on your size and how you like to lounge, while the fill and fabric are a matter of personal preference. Because there are SO many options and you may feel overwhelmed, we rounded up all the most comfortable couches you'll find out there, ranging from cute and compact options to extra-deep sofas for next-level snuggling.

Ahead, check out the most comfortable couch options for every space and taste, as well as everything you should consider when picking out a comfy new sofa for your home.

Chances are you've seen this cloud sofa dupe from Italian designer Maria Capasa all over your IG feed, and for good reason: It really does make you feel like you're sitting on a puffy lil cloud. Stuffed with a high-density memory foam and fiber blend, this deep feather sofa is wildly soft—plus, it has full edge-to-edge removable and washable fabric, so you don't have to stress over spills and stains. And if you're looking for something bigger, you'll be glad to know it comes in three larger sizes as well. Just be sure to grab it while it's still on sale!!

THE REVIEWS: "This couch is absolutely perfect!" raves one buyer. "It’s everything I have been looking for. The dreamy design is elegant and chic. The fabric is soft and the cushions are nap worthy! I fell asleep on it my first night of using it."

Yep, you can get a supremely cozy couch for under $1,000, and this foam-filled option from Wayfair is proof. Upholstered in the fabric and color of your choice, this cutie is firm yet comfy, with sinuous springs for ample support, as well as removable seat and back cushions for easy maintenance. Oh, and did we mention that it includes four matching throw pillows?

THE REVIEWS: "I am obsessed with this couch!" one reviewer says. "Buying a couch online made me very nervous but I couldn’t find what I wanted at a decent price so I looked to Wayfair. I’m blown away. This couch is exactly what I wanted: comfy, deep, and attractive! Custom fabric for $1,000? I can’t say enough good things!"

Love a good modular couch? With feather-blend, foam-topped seat cushions and endless configuration options, this modular sofa from Albany Park has the cushiness of a mattress and is SO easy to move and assemble. You'll def appreciate the support and comfort provided by the webbing and spring suspension system, as well as the versatility provided by all the Kova Collection add-ons.

THE REVIEWS: "We bought this sofa and it is the best I have ever owned," says one tester. "It is beyond comfortable and just the right depth. I have slept on it for several nights and it is just as comfortable as a bed. The peacock color is absolutely gorgeous!"

Chic, deep, and amazingly spacious, the Lewis Sofa from Joybird is an investment you won't regret, trust. Featuring high-density polyurethane foam and a sinuous wire suspension system, this couch combines cushiony comfort with support, and the oversized silhouette is just *chef's kiss.* It also comes in 64-inch-long and 96-inch-long versions, and it's a great pick for pet owners since it comes in a whopping 50 pet-friendly upholstery options.

THE REVIEWS: "The Lewis Sofa is absolutely perfect," one review reads. "We've had it for a few weeks now, and it truly is the best fit for our home, our lifestyle, and our pets! This sofa is SO comfortable, and there's room for two and our 80-pound dog. Slobber wipes right off (we went with a pet-friendly fabric), and it's easy to vacuum off pet hair."

Take your lounge game to the next level with this deep, pillowy sofa from Sundays. With its relaxed silhouette, this bb is just as comfy and durable as it looks, featuring sink-in seats, stain-resistant performance fabric, and fully removable upholstery covers that'll help ya keep it looking pristine. Because it's modular, you can add on other pieces from the Movie Night Collection. And if you're pressed for space, you can also switch to the 76-inch-wide condo version of this sofa.

THE REVIEWS: "The Movie Night couch is a stylish and comfortable addition to any living space," reports one reviewer. "Compared to my Restoration Hardware Cloud couch, I find the Movie Night to have a slightly firmer base, which is beneficial for sitting upright and entertaining guests. The fabric is also incredibly soft, and the cushions are filled with the perfect amount of feathers for both structure and comfort."

Not to toot our own horn or whateva, but this couch has our stamp of approval when it comes to comfort and style. Reviewers looovee the super plush velvet upholstery and versatility thanks to the interchangeable chaise. It's available in a classic ivory color and two green options if you're feeling spunky. With its narrow mailbox arms, durable design, and modern tufting it's giving vintage glam without making too big of a statement.

THE REVIEWS: "Super soft couch and I LOVE the color. The velvet is so soft and cozy. The quick reversible chaise is very functional. The couch did not require any tools to put together and was very simple with an extra hand."

For a near-perfect dupe of the Article Sven couch, go with this amazingly budget-friendly mid-century stunner from AllModern. Though slightly smaller than the Sven, it boasts the same tapered legs, tufted bench seat, cylindrical throw pillows, and richly-colored velvet upholstery—not to mention, it's also the perfect blend of plush and supportive. And just like the Sven, you can also opt for polyester fabric if velvet isn't your thing.

THE REVIEWS: "I am obsessed with this couch!" writes one customer. "It's exactly what I was looking for: It's extremely comfortable, the material is soft and luxurious, and it's long enough for a 6'6" man to lay down with his legs stretched out. I love the mid-century vibe and the price was mind-blowingly cheap. I had been eyeing the Article Sven couch and this is SUCH a good dupe!"

If you love a cushy couch with a relaxed aesthetic and deep seats, then Sixpenny is the place for you, bb. Available in your choice of feather down or polyfill cushions and a variety of hand-dyed fabrics, the Neva Sofa has a lived-in lewk that is oh-so inviting, but you'll still feel totally supported by the sinuous spring suspension and high-density foam core. Got a small space? Then go with the 72-inch-wide version of this couch instead.

Anyone who doesn't like the feeling of being swallowed by a couch should opt for a medium-firm sofa, like this highly-customizable option from Crate&Barrel. Available in two depth options (as well as with your choice of a bench seat or two individual cushions), this sturdy couch features a curved wire suspension system and a high-resilient foam base, so you know it'll last you many years to come. It also comes in six wood stain colors, nearly 300 fabric choices, and a shorter or longer option, depending on the size of your space.

THE REVIEWS: "This couch proved to be the happy medium between form and function," one person notes. "The seat is firm enough that you don’t feel like you’re sinking into it—added bonus that my aging parents are able to get up from it without assistance. The back and arm cushions give it more of a soft, lounging feel that works well for the casual family room where we’re using this couch."

Leather may not be the first material that comes to mind when you think of comfort, but this buttery-soft couch from West Elm may just change your mind. Available in a variety of genuine leather and vegan leather styles, this plush couch is clean-lined and modern, with overstuffed, foam and down-filled cushions and a stunning wood frame.

Another internet-famous couch, the Sven sofa from Article is truly a tufted dream. Reviewers are obsessed with the plush high-density foam and polyester filling, unique tufted bench seat, fun bolster pillow accents, and rich brushed velvet fabric (though you can also opt for polyester or leather material if you prefer). And if you're working with a smaller space, you can always choose the 72-inch-wide version of this sofa.

THE REVIEWS: As one person says, "This is everything I’ve hoped for and more! It’s deep and comfortable, [and] the velvet quality is top notch and a beautiful color. I can’t even sit on it half the time because I just love standing back and looking at it!"

Looking to reduce your carbon footprint? Then you've gotta get this internet-famous couch from Sabai. Made from high-resiliency foam with 100 percent recycled fiber fill pillows, this beaut is as plush as it is sustainable, and it comes upholstered in a selection of upcycled or recycled fabrics that are ridiculously easy to maintain. You can choose between a bench seat or three individual cushions, as well as three leg options and two fabric options in five colorways each.

THE REVIEWS: As one review reads, "I was so nervous to buy a couch online without testing it out, but Sabai was the best option for truly sustainable furniture. The couch not only looks gorgeous, but it’s sooo comfy and was a breeze to put together! I fluff the back pillows regularly and have flipped the bottom cushions once so far after about 4 months of use, and the couch still looks full/fluffy and brand new."

Made with a brushed steel base and a high-density foam core, this extra-deep couch is durable AF—and it's also really, really comfortable, with many reviewers calling it the "most comfortable sofa" you'll ever own. It's available in over 35 fabric options and plenty of gorgeous, muted colors, so you can make this sofa work with any decor style. And with an impressive 47-inch seat depth, it's by far the deepest sofa you'll find on our list.

THE REVIEWS: According to one tester, "I own a design firm, which means I've seen a literal eff ton of sofas of every type from every possible manufacturer. This is the comfiest sofa I have ever—and likely WILL ever—own. I don't know how we lived without this sofa."

Is it cheap? Lol, nope. But if you want to build the comfy couch of your dreams, then BenchmadeModern is here to help. Gorgeously constructed and complete with a lifetime guarantee, the beloved Skinny Fat Sofa is made with high-resistance foam seats in your choice of plush or firm, as well as a H-U-G-E range of size, fabric, and color options. As a bonus, the company will even send you a free, true-to-size printout of your sofa ahead of time so you can plan your setup.

THE REVIEWS: "I am completely in love with my new sofa," says one tester. "The fabric, the texture, the quality, and the architectural presence of this piece—it's beyond everything else in the space. It's my favorite place to take a nap or read the news. This sofa is the best furniture I have ever purchased."

Another sleek, modular option, the Burrow Nomad Sofa isn't just cozy—it also has *tons* of options for customization, from three different armrest heights to six various leg finishes, to several fun upgrades, like ottomans and moveable chaises. The best part of this couch, however, has got to be the tight-weave olefin fabric, which is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and ridiculously easy to clean. If durability is your top priority, then the Nomad is a must.

THE REVIEWS: "I absolutely LOVE my sofa," one person raves. "The quality and comfort levels are outstanding. I spent a lot of time looking around for something that was easy to set up, quick to be delivered, and didn't skimp out on comfort levels, and this fit the bill for all of those requirements. Another huge plus for me was how easy it is to clean!"

A couch or sofa is an investment that should last you for years (if not a lifetime!), and while you can always jazz it up with a slipcover, the couch itself should be q-u-a-l-i-t-y. Here are a few things to consider before buying that comfy sofa of your dreams:

Your seat cushion filling is the biggest factor in determining how it feels, so you'll want to find the one that's right for you. Foam is the most common filling for couches, with the density of that foam determining how firm your sofa feels. High-resilient foam cushions are durable and supportive, but they won't feel as cloud-like as feather- or down-filled cushions, which are best for folks who like a super-soft sofa. And while you'll find budget-friendly couches filled with polyester or batting, neither of those options tends to last or provide good support.

Want a neutral-toned couch that'll last forever and work with various color palettes? Or maybe you're looking for a jewel-toned pop of color to anchor your living room? Whether you want something luxurious, extra-durable, or even washable, we've got options for ya, so just think about your decor (and any fur babies/actual babies that may wreak havoc on your new piece). Also, remember that natural fabrics feel softer, but they aren't nearly as easy to clean and maintain as synthetic fabrics.

In general, a deeper sofa tends to come with a lower profile to give that extra-comfy, bed-like feel. However! If you're on the taller side and don't wanna struggle while getting on and off your couch, then check out the height and make sure the sofa you go with isn't *too* close to the ground. Likewise, if you don't like sinking deep into your seat, steer clear of those super-deep options.
