One of the most important pieces of furniture in your home is the sofa, often shrouded in throw pillows and blankets for added coziness. You likely spend more time lounging on the couch than in any other spot, and it's often the focal point of your living area. Since there are so many options to choose from, particularly when shopping online, it can be difficult to know where to start.
Above all, the best couch should be comfortable. If you're going to assemble it yourself, it should be fairly easy with straightforward directions. Depending on the size of your living area, you may also want to find something versatile that can fit in a small space.
We've researched the most comfortable couches at Amazon, from sectionals to sleepers to futons, all for under $1,000. In addition to comfort, we considered the size of each sofa, the durability of the material, and its overall value.
To help you narrow down your choices, these are the most comfortable couches available at Amazon, according to thousands of reviews.

Jy Qaqa Linen Convertible Sectional Sofa
Amazon
The 6.5-foot-long convertible sectional is one of our favorites thanks to its thick cushions, wide armrests, and convenient, movable ottoman. What makes this sofa special is the versatility of the ottoman, which can create a chaise lounge when attached to any of the three main sofa sections (left, right, or center). The ottoman can also serve as a seat, a coffee table, or a comfy footrest. You can adjust the pieces to best suit your space and move them around at your convenience.
The small footprint of the entire sofa means that it can easily fit in a small apartment, office, or playroom. It's made from wood with thick foam cushions for optimal comfort. The sofa is covered in soft linen that you can wipe clean with a dry cloth. Bonus: Assembly is easy. It requires no tools to build and takes less than 30 minutes to put together.

Pro Tip
“Sofa materials like foam, down, feathers, and batting have different levels of firmness and plushness, so knowing your personal comfort preference is important when purchasing a sofa.” — Grace Baena, director of branded content at Kaiyo
Couches Under $500

Amazon
This linen sectional from Best Choice Products is another under-$500 couch worth considering.

Devion Furniture Reversible Sleeper Sectional
Amazon
If you want a couch that works almost as hard as you do, consider this sleeper sectional. This couch serves as a standard sectional most of the time but can expand into a sleeper sofa with the pull of a lever. Plus, the chaise section makes room for additional seating and storage because the cushion lifts up to reveal a compartment underneath — perfect for storing an extra set of sheets and blankets when you want the couch to double as a guest bed. Shoppers say this sleeper sofa is firm but easy to assemble, so if you like a softer sleeping area, you can always get a cushioned pad to place on top.

What to Know About Buying Couches at Amazon
Reviews and Ratings
When shopping for couches at Amazon, reviews and ratings are some of the most important things to consider. While it’s not always the case — especially with some of the name-brand couches that might be new to Amazon — products with high ratings can indicate which ones are most worth considering. It always helps to cross-check ratings with customer reviews to gain more insight into details like overall comfort, size, quality, and more. Some customers also share helpful insights, including what the assembly process is like, which colors are worth the investment, and if they’re durable enough for pets and kids.
Returns
One of the best things about shopping for home decor at Amazon is how easy it is to make returns. For the most part, furniture pieces are just as easy to return as a small table lamp or wall art. However, it’s always worth double-checking the return window, what the return process is like, if there is a restock fee, and where Amazon accepts large returns.
If your couch has missing or broken parts, Amazon returns also make resolutions much easier. Often, you can simply contact their customer service team, and they will help you navigate the return and reissue a shipment so that you can get your couch as soon as possible.
Amazon Prime Membership
An Amazon Prime membership also comes with its own set of perks. Most products come with free and fast Prime shipping, allowing you to receive your new piece of furniture in just a couple of days (which is a stark difference compared to traditional furniture lead times). And, in cases where they don’t, you can still score free shipping and receive your couch in a couple of weeks, depending on where it ships from.
