As someone who spends a lot of time on her couch, this is a subject I feel rather passionate about. You shouldn’t settle for anything less than the most comfortable couches, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Not only do you deserve to feel absolutely snuggled and supported by your sofa, but you also want to spend your money on a piece of furniture that will actually last—one that you’ll love just as much in five years as you will when it’s brand new.

Whether you’re looking for a cloud couch dupe or hoping to find the best couches on Amazon, you’re in the right place. I pulled from customer reviews and the product testing from our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute to bring you this list of the 15 most comfortable couches to shop now.
