There's nothing I like more than totally ~loungin'~ on a totally comfortable couch. I mean, if it were up to me, everyone's living room couch would be a ridiculously cozy piece of furniture. A deep sofa is one that, by definition, lets you put your feet up without requiring an ottoman or recliner. In addition to being extremely comfy, the best extra-deep sofas can transform your home into an oasis. Whether you're looking for a cool modular couch, a luxe velvet sofa, or something cute and compact, we've got options for everyone.
So...what exactly counts as an extra-deep sofa? Sofa depth is the distance from the back of the couch to the front, and that typically ranges from 32 to 40 inches for most couches. Seat depth measures the space between the front of the seat and the couch's back cushion, which is usually between 20 and 25 inches. Now, your extra-deep-seat sofas, however, have seats over 35 inches deep (!!), aka a whole lot more room for lounging. Yes! Pls!
Ahead, check out our top picks for extra-deep-seat couches and sofas perfect for lounging, as well as everything you should know before making the investment.
From Bachelor Nation fan-fave couple Sean and Catherine Lowe's furniture line comes this supreeeeemely comfy, oversized sofa. Reviewers love the buttery-soft polyester fabric, the two included throw pillows, the cushy foam filling, and the fact that it comes in three color options: black, taupe, and navy. Oh, and that price truly can't be beat.
THE REVIEW: "Holy deep couch! This thing is beautiful, first of all, and secondly, it's enormous and ridiculously comfortable. I've gotten a ton of compliments, and it sleeps as nicely as it sits. We'll see how it holds up to two small boys, but for now I'll be enjoying the cushy deep haven it's providing."
If you're looking for a statement piece that'll let ya lounge in style, pls turn your attention to this option from Joybird. With its high-density polyurethane foam core, this medium-firm sofa feels like a dream, and it comes in TONS of color and fabric options, including velvets, pet-friendly fabrics, stain-resistant fabrics, and sustainable fabrics.
THE REVIEW: "The Anton daybed in Royale Amethyst is beautiful, feels like buttah, and is soooo comfortable!!! It's a little slice of heaven in my living room, and it's large enough for me and my three fur babies. If you've been considering a purchase from Joybird, do yourself a favor and do it!!"
Amazon is my go-to place for all things beauty, style, and home decor. But I was today years old when I discovered that you can buy a quality piece of furniture, like this extra-deep-down-filled couch that, wait for it, reflects Amazon's incredibly low prices. And for the cherry on top, this extra-deep bb is available via Amazon Prime's two-day quick shipping.
THE REVIEW: "This couch is amazing! I was looking for a quality, deep-seat, timeless, classic, cream-colored couch for some time that wasn’t going to break the bank! This one was perfect. I like the texture to the color. "
Okay, but this basically isn't even a sofa, y'all—it's a living room megabed, and we're here for it. 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 thanks to its six separate pieces. Plus, you can get it in a dozen statement-making color options.
THE REVIEW: "I can’t say enough good things about this couch. It’s changed the way we feel about our house, movie nights, and cuddling in general. The fabric is soft, unbelievably soft! The cushions are extremely comfortable. It has definitely become our favorite place to hang out."
Corduroy is the bonafide cool kid material lately—luckily your furniture doesn't have to miss out on the wave. This couch from Andes Furniture will seriously up the chic factor for your lazy day sprawls. At just under $800, this is quite the budget buy. Plus, it's another solid option if you're working with a smaller space.
Sofa dimensions: 34'' H X 74'' W X 66'' D Seat depth: 51.5" Seat height: 34" Seating capacity: 2-3 Upholstery material: Premium corduroy Color options: Dark gray, beige, dark green
THE REVIEW: "I am in love with this sofa! It is so comfortable. I have it in ivory. The color is perfect and so is the size. Another review said [it's a] 'luxury couch for the size' and that is very accurate. It was extremely easy to get set up. It’s not extremely heavy. I was able to do it all by myself."
Raise your hand if you just wanna curl up and take a nap on this sofa 🙋♀️. Complete with puffy, overstuffed cushions and a detachable ottoman platform base, this laidback lounger is designed to become the best seat in the house. And since it's just a little over six feet wide, it's a great pick for smaller spaces as well.
THE REVIEW: "We needed a cozy little nest at our cabin for reading and an extra sleeping area for guests. That’s exactly what this piece of furniture provides! We love it!"
While def not cheap, this stunner from Crate & Barrel is an investment that's WELL worth making, promise. You can get it in basically any color and fabric imaginable (including microfiber, canvas, chenille, leather, bouclé, twill, velvet, and linen, among others), and the soy-based polyfoam seat cushions are made to last through many, many movie nights.
THE REVIEW: "We are finally able to lounge comfortably as a family on this couch!! There is so much room, and it's incredibly soft and surprisingly easy to wipe clean from minor spills, crumbs, and dog hair. So far we are loving purchase."
It can be difficult for those of us with small spaces to find the right amount of room to accommodate an extra-deep sofa, but that doesn't mean we want one any less. That's why this sofa by The Twillery Co. is such a game-changer—although it's not as deep as others on this list, it still features a larger-than-normal seat depth so that you can lounge out in comfort, no matter the size of your living area.
THE REVIEW: "I am SO impressed. I would buy this couch again that’s how happy I am with it. Came in a huge box all I had to do was put the legs on it. So soft and comfortable. Perfect for small space. Does sit low to the ground. Perfect cuddle couch! Everything I wanted."
Looking for a cheaper dupe of the Albany Park Kova Pit? Go with this under-$1,000 modular sectional from Wayfair. Though not quite as deep as the Kova Pit, this comfy piece still boasts plenty of lounge space, along with durable fabric, a chic metal frame, and foam-filled, spring-supported cushions that can be removed for easy cleaning.
THE REVIEW: "Love, love, love this couch! I’ve had it for 4 months and it’s better everyday. Took a minute for it to fluff up as expected, being vacuum sealed. The boxes were intimidating, but so easy to put together by myself. It’s super comfortable, and I love that I can easily turn it into a guest bed, since I live in a small city apartment."
For a lil under $1,000, you can score this chic sofa that easily converts into a twin-sized bed if you remove the back cushions. Thanks to its wooden block feet, modern square arms, and matching throw pillows, this budget-friendly piece looks *so* much more expensive than it actually is—and with its foam-filled, coil-supported cushions, it's pretty damn comfy, too.
THE REVIEW: "I love this couch!! It's very comfortable to sit, lay, and sleep on. It's big enough to seat multiple people as well as big enough to sleep on comfortably. I saw this couch on TikTok and took a chance on it. I'm glad I did—it's a wonderful couch for my first apartment."
Made with a brushed steel base and a high-density foam core, this bb is durable. It's also really, really comfortable, with many reviewers calling it the "most comfortable sofa" you'll ever own. It's available in multiple fabric options and plenty of gorgeous, muted colors, so you can make this sofa work with any decor style.
THE REVIEW: "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."
Take lounging to the next level with this deep, pillowy sofa from Sundays. With its relaxed silhouette, this gorge couch 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. And if you're pressed for space, you can also switch to the 76-inch-wide condo version of this sofa.
THE REVIEW: "The Movie Night couch is a stylish and comfortable addition to any living space. 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."
At Lovesac, customization is the name of the game, so you can put together the extra-deep modular sofa of your dreams. The most basic model, which includes two seats, two ottomans, chenille fabric, and standard foam fill, starts at a lil over $3,500, but you can expand on that with different configurations, seat styles (angled or regular!), fabrics, fill, storage add-ons, and even tech upgrades, like integrated wireless charging.
THE REVIEW: "We bought this sectional to replace a couch/love seat/ottoman set we had for 20 years in our basement rec room. We never thought we would find something as comfortable and kid- and dog-friendly as what we had—but this LoveSac sectional is heaven. It is so comfortable, easy to move around into different groupings, and large enough to seat all four of us, two large dogs, and a number of my kid's friends."
While some sleeper sofas will give you college dorm room vibes, this lovely piece from West Elm is definitely an exception. With its roomy storage chaise and pull-out trundle, it's basically an upscale version of the über-popular Ikea Friheten, and you can get it in just about any color and fabric imaginable. Gotta love options!!
MY REVIEW: I have this bb in my living room, and the trundle is pulled out pretty much 100 percent of the time, so it's basically just a giant bed in my living area. It's incredibly cushy, great for guests, and such a sneaky storage space, too!
Pit couches are large, deep sectionals—commonly with modular seats—that can be placed into a bed-like or, ahem, "pit," arrangement that's great for chilling out. This one replicates the cloud-like sofa we all know and love and features six (totally modular!) seats that are extremely plush in both appearance and to the eye.
THE REVIEW: "This sectional is so comfy. It is a poly/down blend so it’s cushy but you don’t completely sink in. It’s comfortable and supports you! Every guest we’ve had over has sat in it and loved it. Shawn and I have even slept overnight on the sectional which in my opinion says a lot about the comfort!" —For the Home Blog
A couch or sofa is an investment that should last you for years (if not a lifetime!), and while you can always spruce it up with a slipcover or decor pillows, the couch itself should be q-u-a-l-i-t-y. Here are a few things to consider before buying that extra-deep-seat sofa of your dreams:
Here's the thing about extra-deep sofas: They tend to be, ya know, extra big. Be sure to measure your living area (as well as your doorways, hallways, elevator, and any other space this couch will have to pass through) because nothing's worse than ordering a piece of furniture that's just too damn big for your apartment.
Want a neutral-toned couch that’ll last you forever and work with a variety of 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.
Extra-deep sofas tend to be pretty low to the ground to give 'em 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 be sure to check out the height and make sure the sofa you pick isn't *too* close to the ground.
