There's nothing I appreciate more than just lounging on an unbelievably comfortable couch. If it were up to me, everyone's living room sofa would be a cozy landing pad, whether it be a cool modular couch, a luxe velvet sofa, or something cute and compact.

But there's something about an extra-deep sofa that will introduce a whole new level of comfort into your space. "Extra-deep sofas are great for curling up if it's a more casual room, or if you're someone who likes to sits cross-legged on your couch," says interior designer Paige Garland. And, in addition to being extremely comfy, the best extra-deep sofas allow you to put your feet up without an ottoman or recliner. And! They can easily double as a daybed for overnight guests. Truly, we love the versatility.

We have to also note that there's a *ton* of variety within this sofa category. "There are different fill types, like feather or foam, and also different levels of firmness, just like mattresses," Paige says. "Some of these couches go all the way down to floor, and some don't—or have legs beneath—so if you don't want to be worried about things rolling under, having one that goes all the way down is nice!"

So...are you convinced that you need one of these bad boys in your life yet? Fair. So for your convenience, we've rounded up all type of extra-deep sofas that elevate you space—ones that come in all sorts of materials and styles. Ahead, check out our top picks for extra-deep couches and sofas that are perfect for lounging, as well as everything you should know before making the investment.

Oh, and that price truly can't be beat.

THE REVIEW: "Holy deep couch! This thing is beautiful, first of all, and secondly, it's enormous and ridiculously comfortable. I've gotten a ton of compliments, and it sleeps as nicely as it sits. We'll see how it holds up to two small boys, but for now I'll be enjoying the cushy deep haven it's providing."

Sactional

At Lovesac, customization is the name of the game so you can put together the extra-deep modular sofa of your dreams.

THE REVIEW: "We bought this sectional to replace a couch/love seat/ottoman set we had for 20 years in our basement rec room. We never thought we would find something as comfortable and kid- and dog-friendly as what we had—but this LoveSac sectional is heaven. It is so comfortable, easy to move around into different groupings, and large enough to seat all four of us, two large dogs, and a number of my kid's friends."

MY REVIEW: I have this bb in my living room, and the trundle is pulled out pretty much 100 percent of the time, so it's basically just a giant bed in my living area. It's incredibly cushy, great for guests, and such a sneaky storage space, too!

What is an extra-deep sofa

Let's break this down for those that wanna know the numbers. There are multiple couch depth categories, and the "extra-deep" ones are those that are marked over 35 inches deep in their dimensions. (That's the space measured from the front of the chair to the back cushion.) A sofa that's 20 to 25 inches deep is considered average, while a "deep" one is typically 28 to 35 inches.

How to choose the best extra-deep sofa

A couch or sofa is an investment that should last you for years (if not a lifetime!), and while you can always spruce it up with a slipcover or decor pillows, the couch itself should be q-u-a-l-i-t-y. Here are a few things to consider before buying that extra-deep-seat sofa of your dreams:

Measure your space

Here's the thing about extra-deep sofas: They tend to be, ya know, extra big. Be sure to measure your living area (as well as your doorways, hallways, elevator, and any other space this couch will have to pass through) because nothing's worse than ordering a piece of furniture that's just too damn big for your apartment.

Choose a fabric that's best for you

Want a neutral-toned couch that’ll last you forever and work with a variety of color palettes? Or maybe you’re looking for a jewel-toned pop of color to anchor your living room? Whether you want something luxurious, extra-durable, or even washable, we've got options for ya, so just think about your decor...and any fur babies/actual babies that may wreak havoc on your new piece.

Determine your desired height

Extra-deep sofas tend to be pretty low to the ground to give 'em that extra-comfy, bed-like feel. However! If you're on the taller side and don't wanna struggle while getting on and off your couch, then be sure to check out the height and make sure the sofa you pick isn't *too* close to the ground.
