Guys, why did no one tell me adulting was so expensive? In between paying rent, having to feed myself (Mom, if you’re reading this, I miss you), and needing to purchase big-ticket necessities like furniture, my credit card takes hit after hit. I mean, you get it. The cost of a chic bed frame, a good mattress, and a comfy couch can all add up pretttyyy quickly. Of course, setting a budget is key, and I’m here to let you know that finding affordable furniture pieces that don’t absolutely suck is possible. For example, the best couches under $1,000 will look and feel just as luxe as the ones on your Pinterest board—without breaking the bank too! Best of both worlds? I’d say so.

There are dozens of options out there like extra-deep sofas and U-shaped sofas, so you should do your research to find the best pick for you. If you’re anything like me, this is the place where you’ll be spending a major amount of time lounging.

And if you relate to this very real dilemma, this sofa with built-in storage will be a game-changer. Lift up the chaise cushion to reveal a space to stuff your extra pillows, blankets, and more.

This sofa was basically made for this very experience since you can rest your head on one side and fully stretch out your legs on the other. Not to mention, it’s fully upholstered in a stunning polyester fabric—talk about a beauty nap.
