Cheap Comfortable Couches

A couch is one of the most prominent pieces of the room, so it's important to choose a couch that is durable elegant, stylish, and comfortable. Finding a couch that has all three qualities isn't easy if your budget is limited.

To help, we consulted two interior designers and vetted hundreds of grey couches for sale to find affordable couches for sale and comfortable couches for sale ones that will last for years.

1. IKEA Sofa

If you're seeking a low-profile couch that still feels solid and sturdy this is a fantastic choice. It's so soft and comfortable that you could imagine your entire family reclining on it. (It even comes in an Armchair version). This sofa can also be incorporated into a variety of decor styles and looks good with any color of fabric or leather (though if you're going for something more bold you can always put on a luxe cover from Comfort Works).

The sofa isn't as attractive as some of IKEA's more modern options however it has an elegant look that is comparable to those of more premium competitors. The low banana-shaped arms and large cushions create a look that's equal parts traditional and stylish. It's also incredibly affordable and comes in both leather and fabric upholstery options.

What I love most about the IKEA Website:

IKEA offers a wealth of information on the front page. I find this very helpful. Prices and names are all up front and there are dimensions galore so that you can figure out what furniture will work for your space prior to you purchase. The construction and materials are explained in detail, which is an added benefit. They make use of a mix of solid wood, plywood and particleboard in a lot of their frames which helps reduce costs while retaining the strength. They also specify whether the cushion filling is made of feathers or foam which can impact the firmness of a sofa. I would like them to go a step more in the direction of details of how individual pieces are constructed, but they do a good job overall.

2. World Market Brynn Feather-Filled Loveseat

The global bazaar vibe of World Market's website can be a bit disorienting. There's a lot of visual stimulation and information to process, especially if you're laser-focused on finding a new sofa.

Fortunately, the site allows you to focus on furniture by having an exclusive "Furniture" section in the navigation bar on top that takes you straight to couches. From there, you can search by upholstery material, style, and color.

Many World Market sofas are made with high-performance fabrics that resist staining, which is ideal for families with children or pets. The company also does a great job of providing a variety of cushion comforts (foam vs. fiberfill, for instance) to meet the needs of any person and budget.

Be aware that the majority of World Market couches require assembly. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on your ability. The website of the company shows the sofas from various angles, as well as close-ups on details such as stitching and legs. That way, you can get a good picture of how the couch will appear like in your home before you commit to buying. The site is also very transparent when it comes to showing delivery information. It will tell you the time it will take for the sofa to arrive at your home. In-stock items are usually shipped within a few days. You can also decide to pick the item up at a local store in order to get it faster. The site accepts major credit cards, but does not offer third-party financing like Affirm and Klarna. This can be a bummer for those looking to spread out their payments however, be on the lookout for promotional offers from the company that could include no or deferred interest for a set period.

3. Capasa Sofa

A khaki green version that Good Housekeeping calls a "truly exceptional duplicate" of the cloud couch The sofa is easy to set up and has deep seats. It's also a budget-friendly option. If you decide to buy cushions that don't have a foam core, keep in mind that they could be sagging over time. Morse suggests looking for a pillow with a feather or fiber wrapped around the foam core.

Pro feather and feather fillings are soft and offer a luxurious feel. Plus, they're comfortable and aid in temperature regulation. Cons - They're expensive and can trigger allergies in some people. Additionally, they may have to be fluffed frequently to keep their shape.

4. Maxwell Ryan Co-Created Loveseat

The sofa is where you'll spend the majority of your #netflixandchilltime. It's also one of the most expensive pieces of furniture you've got in your home. Therefore, it's worth taking the time to buy a sofa you love and that you can afford.

Burrow, which was founded by Apartment Therapy founder Maxwell Ryan with backing from the prestigious accelerator Y Combinator aims to become the Ikea of folding sofas. The company offers three different versions of the couch (a chair as well as a loveseat for sale and a sectional) in various sizes. The design is inspired by traditional European styles but is also more contemporary and minimalist, because of the thinner frame rails and tapered spool legs.

The most important selling factor is the fact that it folds flat to store. But the real benefit is that, unlike many foldable furniture, this one can be put together by a single person without tools in about 20 minutes. The company's goal is that when you purchase a Burrow couch, you can be sure it will fit your space and last for 10 to 20 years. This is a significant improvement over the Ikea disposable model.

5. Goop Sofa
