Who makes the most durable couches?

08 Apr.,2024

 

When you buy something online, sight unseen, you’re taking a leap of faith. This is especially true with sofas, which often cost hundreds or thousands of your hard-earned dollars and can be a hassle to return.

There are so many styles, types, and sizes of sofa—from buttoned-up Chesterfields to the Dalì-inspired Bocca—that “best” is often a matter of personal taste.

After years of research and testing, we’re ready to admit that we can’t tell you which sofa model is the absolute best. But we can walk you through the process and help you balance quality, budget, and space constraints with your unique needs and tastes.

We evaluated 25 couches for their comfort, ease of use, durability, and quality. For more information on how we tested couches, check out our testing process below.

In addition to Carroll, we also consulted Emily Mackie , owner and principal designer at Inspired Interiors. Jennifer Stephan , founder and interior designer at Jennifer Stephan Interiors, and Lauren Figueroa , interior designer at Lauren Figueroa Interior Design.

To help you find the best couches, we sat, stretched, and slept on a slew of couches in our homes for several months. During the testing period, we considered the comfort, ease of use, durability, quality, and value of each option.

“Investing in a good sofa with high-density foam and down feathers will allow you to relax for many years,” says interior designer Margaret Carroll . “I prefer sofas that don't need much maintenance (like ones covered in performance fabrics), so I can enjoy them without worrying about my kids or pets ruining them.”

A couch can serve several purposes in your home, whether it's for style, lounging, or entertaining. Regardless, choosing the right size, material, and style for your space can be difficult.

Why You Should Get It

  • There's a slew of customization options, easy delivery, and quality comfort.

Keep in Mind

  • If you choose one of the custom upholstery options, delivery may be slower.

Sometimes classic is the way to go, and that’s the case with the Room & Board Metro Sofa, which scored a perfect score for its durability, quality, comfort, and value. 

The ordering process was smooth and easy (we chose an in-stock upholstery on the Room & Board website), and the delivery team arrived early, with triple confirmation of their arrival time, and smoothly set up the sofa.

Upon sitting on the couch, we found it to strike the perfect balance of soft and comfortable, yet firm and supportive. We also noticed that compared to inexpensive couches, this one had a solid frame and it didn’t move across the floor when we sat on it.

Our favorite activity to do on this couch was curl up with a good book, which we found ourselves doing frequently because the couch felt so comfortable. In fact, we loved this couch so much that we ordered the matching loveseat to complete the set. 

There are over 243 different color and fabric options to choose from, and we opted for the twill charcoal fabric to help conceal any stains from pets or kids. Because of its quality, comfortability, and plethora of fabric options, this couch earned the top spot for best couch. 

How It Performed After Six Months

Six months later, this couch still looked brand new. Despite heavy daily use, we didn’t notice any fading, pilling or staining. 

It was tested in a home with multiple pets, and even though a dog regularly sleeps on it and a cat peed on it, it continued to look like it just came out of a showroom (and as a bonus, the material seems to repel pet hair). The pillows and cushions remain fluffy and comfortable.

Just So You Know

At more than $3,000, the Room & Board Metro definitely isn’t the cheapest couch on our list. But while it’s an investment, this couch has held up wonderfully over time and has proven to be worth the higher price tag.

Why You Should Get It

  • It held up well against stains and spills.

Keep in Mind

  • You can pay extra for assembly by Taskrabbit, but otherwise will need to set this up yourself.

In testing, the Ikea Uppland Sofa received a perfect score in every single category. Overall, we thought it was one of the best couches to consider if you’re furnishing a home on a budget. 

From the moment we sat on this couch after setting it up, we could tell it was going to be very comfortable. We let the cushions fully inflate before sitting on them, and they felt pleasantly springy, plush, and never too firm. 

With three seat cushions, it’s spacious enough for multiple people to sit on at one time, and everyone who used it found the cushions to be supportive for their back and neck. 

Our favorite feature on this couch, though, was the removable cover. You can easily take the slipcover off to give it a deep clean in the washing machine, which is incredibly helpful for families or homes with pets. 

IKEA sells a number of covers in different colors that are compatible with the Uppland sofa, so if you’re feeling like a change but don’t want to replace your entire couch, a new cover can instantly deliver a fresh look and feel.

This couch fared well during the testing period, and we didn’t observe any signs of wear and tear. The frame felt sturdy and held up nicely with no bowing. The couch was tested in a home with a young child, and even though it endured a few spills (including a large juice stain), we were able to remove the cover and wash it, and the stain fully came out. 

Despite its lower price tag, this couch looks and feels high-quality. It’s soft, comfortable, and appears to be very durable, and we particularly appreciate the option to switch out the cover to give it a new look.

Just So You Know

Unless you opt for the extra delivery from Taskrabbit, you’ll need to set aside assembly time for this couch. The couch is delivered in one large box and comes with a relatively easy-to-follow setup manual. Overall, it took two people about an hour to build the couch, and we found it to be relatively simple though time consuming.

Why You Should Get It

  • There's one long cushion, so you won't sink between cushions.

Keep in Mind

  • It’s on the firm side.

No question about it, the Varick from Maiden Home is a statement piece. Upholstered in a beautiful olive-colored performance velvet with one long cushion bench, it has clean lines and an undeniably modern appearance.

This is a beautiful couch, and the materials feel as high-quality as they look. The frame is made from kiln-dried hardwood, the velvet soft with a lovely handfeel, and the cushions made of a high-resiliency core wrapped in microfiber.

Even if you hadn’t seen the price tag, you’d immediately be able to tell that this is an expensive piece of furniture designed to be both comfortable and visually impressive.

Overall, we enjoyed sitting on this couch. It would be ideal for an office or more formal sitting room, though you may not find it the most plush option for a nap. That’s especially true because the arm is on the high side, so you can’t rest your head on it.

However, we loved that this couch has just one long cushion. This is a particularly nice feature for anyone who dislikes the feeling of sinking in between couch cushions, and it also adds to the couch’s sleek look.

If you like your couch cushions squishy and deep, this probably isn’t the best couch for you. But the stiffer cushions offer lots of support and keep the couch from looking too relaxed. They also hold their shape nicely over time.

Just So You Know

This is a gorgeous couch, but it’s not the most family-friendly option. The velvet fabric showed imperfections more easily than some of the other couches we tested.

Why You Should Get It

  • This deep sectional was comfortable to lounge in and we found that dirt wiped off easily.

Keep in Mind

  • It doesn’t have traditional armrests, just backrests.

If you are looking for a sectional to fill your space, the Albany Park Kova Pit is the best couch for you. Because of its quality and value, it earned perfect scores in these categories during testing. 

The ordering process was simple, as the only customization decision was picking one of the seven colors. The sectional arrived in eight boxes that were organized according to piece, and it was easy to visualize the process during setup.

However, we did experience some issues putting together the corner pieces and did need a hammer to push the pieces into place. Other than this, the assembly process was fairly straightforward since the pieces connected by sliding into one another. 

After assembly, we found that the sectional was comfortable to sit in and soft to the touch. It felt sturdy and high quality, and we were impressed with the construction. Each cushion was large enough for about a person and a half to sit on. Due to the deep pit design, there aren’t traditional armrests, just the backs of the pieces. However, adding a tray or side table can help provide a stable surface for drinks or snacks. 

The velvety fabric was easy to clean, and muddy paw prints wiped right off without leaving any residue behind. The fill of the cushions was comfortable, and they maintained their shape over the course of testing. 

How It Performed After One Year

Overall, we were still impressed with the Albany Park Kova Pit a year later. The pit design made it easy to move from room to room, and it remained very comfortable to sit on. 

Though they were still soft, some of the cushions did seem a little more lopsided and lumpy from constant use, with a few rogue feathers poking out. However, fluffing the cushions daily helps them regain their shape. The couch was tested in a home with pets, and it also accumulated a few scratch marks during this time. 

Just So You Know

The cushions are a little lower than some other couches, so it’s not the most supportive option for your neck.

Why You Should Get It

  • Burrow offers easy ordering and assembly, a classic style, and reversible back pillows.

Keep in Mind

  • The design is better for sitting rather than lying down, and isn’t suited for those who want to sink into their cushions.

Households with kids and pets are typically more prone to spills and accidents, so it’s important to have a couch with a durable construction and easy-to-clean fabric. The Burrow Nomad Collection Block Nomad Sofa has both of these details, making it the best couch for pets and kids. 

Assembly was a breeze and took less than 30 minutes with two people, thanks to the clear labeling and precise instructions. The design is more for those who prefer to sit, rather than lie down, since there is very little sinking in the firm cushions.

It’s comfortable, but not so comfortable that anyone is likely to fall asleep—it’s better for sitting and watching television than it is for snuggling in.

Stains from a mystery child-related spill came out easily, and we love that the couch can be cleaned with water and bleach. It held up against three months of children jumping on it with no sign of losing firmness or any wear and tear, and the fabric is designed to be scratch- and stain-resistant.

The ability to add to the system with other pieces makes it a good starter sofa, particularly for those who like a lot of support. There are also plenty of options to customize the couch with five fabric colors, six leg finishes, three arm styles, and two back cushion styles. We also love that the back pillows are reversible for a little bit of design versatility down the line.

How It Performed After One Year

Other than pillows and cushions that looked a little more lived-in, we didn’t notice any significant changes in the appearance of this couch a year later. In fact, the upholstery looked pretty much the same as when we first began testing it. 

Just So You Know

This is a solid couch for an office, guest room, or kids’ playroom, but we wouldn’t say it’s necessarily the best option for lounging. If you’re looking for an ultra comfortable, cozy couch for your living room, this may not be the best pick.

Why You Should Get It

  • This perfect design is comfortably firm, deep enough for a good nap, and easy to clean.

Keep in Mind

  • Assembly is required, and there are only two colors available.

Velvet adds a touch of luxury to your living room, and the Article Abisko Couch is the best couch to elevate your space with Midcentury Modern flair. The couch was delivered in two large boxes, and it was delivered in the time frame that was promised. It took about 20 minutes to assemble and was fairly straightforward, although you may need an additional person to help move the boxes initially.

It’s on the firm side, but that’s what we found makes it comfortable, even for long periods of sitting. We also found that it was the perfect depth for napping. In addition to working on the couch, we used it to read, hang out, and nap as often as possible, simply because we enjoyed it so much.

During our testing, we found the couch to be durable and sturdy. Despite frequent use, the couch didn’t bow in the center and didn’t move when we plopped down on it. We also appreciated that the cushions were firm and supportive, and we couldn’t feel the frame of the couch when sitting or laying on it. 

The stylish design felt like it was on the wider side, making it great for lying down or tucking your feet in. Even better, it’s sold at a reasonable price for its quality. We do wish that it was available in more than two colors, but we appreciated that the fabric was easy to keep clean—even in a household with two pets.

How It Performed After Six Months

Six months later, the quality of the Article Abisko couch remained consistent. We were impressed by how well the upholstery held up—there’s no pilling or color fading—and how easy it is to clean. It didn’t develop any noticeable scratches, despite being in a home with two cats. And the cushions maintained their firmer texture and shape nicely. 

Just So You Know

While it’s comfortable to sit or even nap on, this couch is definitely on the firmer side. It wouldn’t be the best couch for anyone looking for something especially slouchy and cozy.

Why You Should Get It

  • We found that this sleeper sofa was just as comfortable as a standard mattress, and it was easy to clean.

Keep in Mind

  • The cushions start out extremely firm, and it’s on the expensive side for a couch of this size.

If your living room is doing double duty as a guest room, this Joybird Briar Sleeper Sofa is the best couch for you. The company provided assembly for us, which took about five minutes. 

We found the bed aspect to be more comfortable than the couch, but the couch got more comfortable by the day during testing. Initially, we found it to be stiff and firm, but it became softer with continued use. As far as comfort, we rated the couch itself to be a 3.5 out of 5, but the bed earned a perfect score of 5 out of 5. 

It’s easy to use, with nearly no time needed to go into bed mode—our first try took 5 minutes, and later efforts took just 30 seconds. It’s a fairly standard sleeper sofa build, with a separate mattress folded in under the cushions that you pull out, then fold back in half and push back in when done.

It’s also quite durable and easy to clean. It stood up to a dog jumping all over it, and any muddy paw prints came off easily.  If you’re concerned about dirt, you can also choose a darker shade, since there are a total of 89 upholstery options available. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing and nicer than a futon, guests will always have a comfortable place to sleep. 

Just So You Know

Though the sofa bed is very plush from day one, the couch is on the firmer side, so much so that we initially didn’t find it very comfortable to sit on. The cushions did soften up with time, however.

Why You Should Get It

  • The sheer number of customization options are impressive, and the couch itself is beautifully constructed.

Keep in Mind

  • You’ll need to select your body fabric, cushion fill, finish, caster, and cushion fabrics to determine the final price.

If you have a specific vision for your space, the customization options for the Coastal Living Kiawah Sofa allow you to achieve it. You’re able to customize a variety of details, including the body fabric and cushion fill, the leg finish, the fabric for each individual cushion. We like that there are an impressive number of upholstery fabrics to choose from, too, including a mix of prints and stylish patterns.

Once you’ve settled on your perfect combination of fabrics and finishes, you can feel confident in the brand’s white glove delivery service. We were impressed by how seamless the delivery process was: The couch was assembled by the delivery team within about 45 minutes, and all boxes were taken away, leaving no mess behind—just a stunning new sofa.

Overall, the quality of this couch is amazing. The fabric we tested is a tight weave with a perfect blend of cream, white, and tan, a nice combination to disguise small specks and stains. The fabric is soft to the touch and the cushions are down-filled (you can choose from a number of different fill options, including ultra plush or spring down).

This couch has one long seat cushion instead of multiple, which helps give it a modern look and feel. When multiple people sat on the couch at the same time, the long cushion remained in place and didn’t move or bend. We found all of the included pillows and cushions very comfortable to lean back on, and liked the ability to reorganize the back pillows to stretch out in different positions. 

The frame of this couch felt sturdy and high-end, too, and there are a number of thoughtful, high-quality details throughout. In addition to the cushion bench, we loved the look of the rounded legs with casters (they also make it easy to move around a room) and the sleek silhouette. 

Just So You Know

The armrests on this couch are firm with minimal padding. Though this helps give it its sleek and modern appearance, it does make it a little less comfortable to lie down on for a nap.

Why You Should Get It

  • Delivery is seamless, the leather feels very high quality, and craftsmanship is excellent.

Keep in Mind

  • The cushions are a little on the firm side.

There are more than 50 different combinations of leather type and color for the Pottery Barn Turner Square Arm Leather Sofa, including a mix of nubuck, pebble, and keystone. But regardless of which you choose, you can rest assured that the quality of the upholstery here is top-notch. 

We were immediately impressed by the high-quality leather and beautiful stitching on the seams. When we first sat down on this couch, the bottom cushions felt a bit firm, though the back cushions were more plush. Still, the cushions offered excellent support and we didn’t feel like you’re sinking into them. Over time, we suspect that the bottom cushions may soften up a bit.

We tested the three-cushioned version of this couch, which is about 73 inches across. We found it to be a nice, versatile size that works well for seating up to three people (though two is a little more comfortable). This style is also available in a number of other widths and seating configurations, including a loveseat and more compact apartment sofa.

The entire delivery process was very seamless and convenient. We appreciated the text updates along with an active map letting us know where the delivery truck was, and the estimated arrival time was correct. When the couch was delivered, it was in one large box that was unpacked and placed in the room. 

While the couch was never seriously damaged during the testing period, we did notice that the leather tends to scratch relatively easily. It was tested in a home with young children, and toys in particular seemed to impact the leather.

Though these scratches were initially very visible, they slowly faded with time and continued use. As long as you aren’t too tough on the leather, we believe that this couch could last a family for many years.

Just So You Know

Though the back cushions were a little softer, the overall feel of this couch was definitely on the firm side. We found that this gave it great support. But if you’re looking for a plush couch to lounge in, this one may feel a little too hard.

Why You Should Get It

  • This was a top-scoring couch in our testing, and proved to be both exceptionally comfortable and highly durable over time.

Keep in Mind

  • There are countless upholstery fabric and color options but many of them aren’t always in stock and may take longer to ship.

There’s a reason why this Crate & Barrel Lounge Couch received perfect scores across the board: We found it to be easily one of the best couches we’ve ever tested. Deep, versatile, and extremely comfortable, this two-seater couch would be perfect for any room in the home. 

We were especially impressed by how durable this couch was. It was tested in a home with pets and young children, and despite being heavily used and occasionally spilled on—one of the cushions had an unfortunate run-in with spaghetti sauce—it looks good as new. The spaghetti sauce miraculously came out of the upholstery after we dabbed it with water and a multipurpose cleaner. Crumbs and pet hair also brush off easily.

The real star of this couch, though, is the cushions. The back ones have the perfect amount of give, so they feel comfortable but still supportive to lean against. And all of the cushions feel plump, full, and billowy without being stiff. You’ll want to lie down immediately to take a nap, though it’s also very comfortable for two people to sit upright.

The delivery process was easy, too. In-home delivery includes assembly and placement in the room of your choice, and everything was set up in less than 10 minutes.

Given its superior performance and how comfortable the cushions are, we found the price of this couch to be just right. In fact, we’d be willing to pay a little more given how well-made and durable it is.

Just So You Know

The bottom cushions on the couch may flatten out a bit over time, though this doesn’t impact the comfort.

Why You Should Get It

  • With four deep seats and an included ottoman, this couch is simply made for comfort.

Keep in Mind

  • We thought the assembly could have been easier.

If the 7th Avenue 4-Seat Modular Chaise Sectional with Ottoman could speak, it would say “Lay on me, and good luck getting out.” Ultra soft, generously cushioned, and designed for ultimate comfort in every way, this roomy sectional is ideal for lounging.

This couch got a lot of use during the testing period, and four people and one dog were able to fit on it at a time. Thanks to the deep cushions and long length, it’s roomy enough for a crowd and ideal for movie night. Even with additional people, we never felt like the couch was caving from extra weight—the frame is clearly well-made. 

Like many 7th Avenue couches, this one is upholstered with performance fabrics that are strong enough to hold up to heavy wear and tear. The covers are water-repellent and stain-resistant, as well as also OEKO-TEX Certified, meaning they’re manufactured without potentially harmful chemicals. 

The back cushions move and adjust perfectly, whether you’re sitting upright or lying down while watching TV or taking a nap. And even after a lot of use, the cushions didn’t show imprints or look especially lived-in. Other than one small split in a seam on the ottoman (which may have very well been made from pets in the test home), we found the fabric to be extremely durable.

Another appealing feature about this couch is that it has a modular design, so you can easily change the configuration depending on your space or needs. Each module can be separated and reattached using Velcro, which makes the process simple. It’s worth noting that the Velcro also makes a slight noise when you shift around on the couch.

Just So You Know

This couch is delivered in a surprising number of boxes—we counted 16. This is helpful if you live in an apartment or need to get the couch through a narrow hallway. But though it’s overall pretty intuitive, setup is definitely time consuming, and it can be overwhelming to sort through all of the boxes and pieces. We found the provided how-to video helpful during the assembly process.

Why You Should Get It

  • The sectional was easy to clean and lovely to lounge on. Plus, it has a high-end look.

Keep in Mind

  • The cushions needed to be fluffed up from time to time.

The Sixpenny Devyn L Shape Sectional may be the perfect lounging couch. It’s wide (more than 145 inches long), deep, and low to the ground — in fact, you may feel like you’re on a bed when lying down on it. 

Multiple people can fit on this couch at one time, some sitting and some reclining. And you can tell it’s high quality from the second you sit down. Filled with plush feather down, it looks and feels beautifully elevated. 

We tested the cotton linen upholstery and were pleased to discover that spills easily wiped out with a wet rag without leaving any marks. The material feels durable and heavy duty, and we appreciated that you can remove the slipcovers and put them in the washing machine to treat serious stains. And despite how low and wide this couch is, the centers never sagged during the testing period.

Delivery was quick and easy. It was unboxed in three sections and set up without any major assembly. Though it’s on the larger side, the low back means that you can still maneuver it through narrow doorways—a big selling point for those in smaller spaces or apartments. 

Though the back of this couch is a little low, because the cushions add a bit of height, we still found it offered sufficient back support. The cushions do need to be fluffed up from time to time, but not as much as we may have thought given their slouchier appearance.

This couch is quite an investment in comparison to other options. But given the quality materials, larger size, high-end look, and impressive performance, we found the price to be well worth it.

Just So You Know

This is an incredibly comfy couch to lounge on, but the arms don’t have much stuffing in them and can feel a little hard. You may want to place a pillow against the arm when resting your head down.

  • It arrived in nine boxes and took us six hours to assemble it.

If you’re furnishing a small space, the 7th Avenue 2-Seat Modular Loveseat is a great option to consider. The two-seater style is offered in two sizes and nine fabric and color options, so you can choose which works best in your home. 

The loveseat arrived in nine boxes that we had to carry up 4-5 stairs. It took us about six hours to assemble it, mainly because there were no instructions included. Once assembled, however, it was fairly easy to move the couch around to where we wanted it. 

During testing, the loveseat was quite comfortable and we found ourselves taking naps on it. Overall, the deep style felt high-quality and was more comfortable than the couch we had previously, which was a bonus. 

Three people used the couch frequently during testing but it was never stained. The couch looked good as new and overall seemed fairly durable. We especially liked how it features removable covers, so it’s easy to wash them and keep the couch looking clean. 

Just So You Know

You’ll only have ten days from the delivery date to return the couch if you’re not happy with it, which is shorter than other return windows.
