Best Overall Sofa
George Oliver Chermaine Tufted Sofa
Pros
Adjustable reclining back
Easy to assemble
Great for office space or spare rooms
Cons
Cushions are not removable
This midcentury-inspired sofa features all of the right 1960s-style characteristics, including turned out tapered legs, a low profile, and an earthy colors. What makes it so affordable, however, is the materials. Unlike authentic midcentury modern furniture, which was usually crafted from locally harvested organic materials, this sofa is made using engineered wood, but you'd never know. The Chermaine also features an adjustable reclining back.

More than $200 off the original price, this Uhomepro futon was a lucky find, and we don't expect it to stay in stock for long. Available in five colors, including the creamy beige pictured here, this convertible sofa would be ideal in a home office or small living room. After all, you can't beat a multi-functional furniture.

Best Memory Foam Sofa
Mainstays Memory Foam Futon
Pros
Solid wood frame
Tapered metal legs and clean silhouette
Reviewers say assembly is quick and easy
Cons
Might need to fluff the cushions over time
The smooth faux suede material and cushy memory foam make for an equally sleek and comfortable seating solution. It's available in five colors and adjusts to four different positions to accommodate different scenarios. You can raise the pillowy armrests or lay it completely flat for extra seating space or the ideal nap space. If suede isn't your upholstery of choice, there's a leather option, too.

Best Minimalist Sofa
Serta Rane Convertible Sofa Bed
Pros
Folds down to a full-size sleeper
Easy-to-clean upholstery
Seat is filled with high-density foam
Cons
Reviewers say the backrest is a bit low
For a sofa bed option that's pretty unassuming and will blend into any decor, this Serta model is pretty versatile. The neutral colorways, low-profile silhouette and simple tufting make it a great starter couch for a first apartment. It's a steal at under $150, so for extra seating in a guest room or rental property, you could even get more than one to fill out your space.

Best Low-Profile Sofa
Wade Logan Avabella Armless Sofa Bed
Pros
Available in multiple colors
Adjustable reclining back
Five-year protection plan for $22.99
Cons
Not ideal for tall people
There's something sleek and streamlined about an armless couch that we love. Case in point: the Avabella sofa bed, which is available in the pale cognac color pictured, gray, and a jet black. It's both shallow and low-to-the-ground, so if you fall on the taller side of the spectrum, this may not be the sofa for you. Otherwise, it's what we'd call the perfect piece.

Best Bouclé Sofa
Mbolyeer Modern Upholstered Loveseat
Pros
Extra deep seats (22 inches)
Available in multiple light colors
Easy assembly
Cons
Instruction booklet isn't included
This sumptuous sofa comes in 12 shades, but we're partial to the light blue, which could add a much-welcome lightness and comfort to a living room. It's covered in bouclé fabric, which lends itself to a trendy, contemporary aesthetic.

Best Linen Sofa
Wade Logan Arlander Rolled Arm Loveseat
Pros
Removable cushion cover
Comes with tufted throw pillows
Ships in one box
Cons
Reviewers say it's more like a spacious one-seater
The rounded silhouette and flared arms on this couch make it feel so warm and inviting, and who could ask for more in such an affordable loveseat. Pro tip: having light pass through the legs of a couch often makes a compact space feel bigger and more open, as opposed to one without legs. So with 16 inches of clearance under this loveseat, it'll work wonders in a smaller living room.

Best Sofa Color Options
Ebern Designs Devair Armless Loveseat
Pros
Versatile armless design
Solid wood frame
Available in vibrant colorways
Cons
Short back might be uncomfortable for taller people
This loveseat is great for the lounger who wants the freedom to drape themselves dramatically across a couch without arms blocking their body (we see you). Add a pop of color to your living room with this piece that comes in vibrant orange, blue, and green hues. If you prefer the neutrals, don't worry, gray is an option too. Try placing this in the hallway or on a landing for a cozy spot to read or as extra guest seating during a party.
