Lounging on a comfy sofa is a beloved pastime that everyone enjoys. Snacks, drinks, a cozy throw blanket, and a binge-able TV show are usually involved — at least in our homes. If you love a good lazy Sunday, cuddling up watching the latest episode of 'Love is Blind,' or having a date night in, we've got great news for you. There's one simple accessory out there that'll make your couch time even better (while also keeping your space as organized as possible): a couch cup holder.

Couch cup holders are the perfect storage device to make your couch as functional as possible. Most designs come with trays that fit on the armrest, in the cushions, or directly next to the couch. This handy and tidy innovation makes it possible to have a clutter-free coffee table while keeping everything you need within arms reach. Now, you’ll finally have space for those coffee book tables you’ve been wanting to display (or have been thinking about).

What to Consider

When it comes to adding a couch cup holder to your space, there are a few things to take into consideration before clicking "add to cart." The type of holder that's the most convenient for your space, the number of things you'd like held, as well as price are all factors worthy of exploring.

Cup Holder Style

Are you looking for a couch cup holder that fits onto the armrest of your sofa, or is a portable holder that you can plop on and take off at your will more up your alley? There are many different models out there, some more convenient than others depending on how much space you have, and if they fit into your aesthetic desires.

If you're looking for something that's easily removable and can be brought out only when you're having a major movie night, you should consider a tray or holder pillow. These options are easy to move at your leisure and don't require permanent installation, which sometimes sacrifices the look of a space. If you don't want to add yet another object to your already full sofa, you can opt for an over-the-armrest model or even a foldable tray that can be placed wherever you like.

Storage Desired

How much are you wanting your couch cup holder to hold? If it's just a simple soft drink, you'll find the functionality and space-saving capabilities of a no-frills tray to get the job done right. If you want something a bit larger that you could plop remotes or snack on as well, an over-the-armrest model like this bamboo style might be more in your wheelhouse.

Cost

It's likely that the more storage you want, the pricier the couch cup holder will be. This is also the case for aesthetic appeal. You can snag a simple holder for under $15 easily, or you can opt for something a bit more chic (that will blend in with your decor seamlessly) for double or triple the price.
