As I write this, I am situated on a frumpy brown couch that I have so lovingly nicknamed “The Turd.” This couch was my first “big-girl purchase” after moving into my apartment a few years ago. TBH, it was the most affordable option I could find at the time. Now, it is the eye-sore of my living room. Despite all the amazing moments I’ve shared with The Turd (reality TV tell-alls, naps on naps on naps, and countless laps of Mario Kart), I think I am ready to say deuces and elevate my space with a couch that makes a statement: preferably one that doesn’t involve bowel movements. And in my search for a new place to sit my tush, I came across a style of couch that's the perfect blend of timeless style and sleek design: the curved sofa.

Let me tell you: I love this style. The arched backrest and rounded silhouette are chic yet understated, bringing a soft, sophisticated touch to any space. Don't believe me? Take a peek at some of these, below.

So, whether you are like me and desperately need a new sofa or are just here to do some window shopping, I have scoured all our fave home sites to find the crème de la crème of curved sofas and couches. Keep scrolling to see 15 of the sleekest, curviest, and comfiest couches on the market.

Formia Bouclé 2-Piece Curved Sectional Sofa

I'm probably not the best person to say this because my go-to comfy outfit includes a pair of pajama shorts with a hole in the crotch, BUT you do not have to sacrifice style for comfort. Case in point: this stunning, incredibly cushy curved sectional. Relax and look oh so chic while doing so on this bouclé bb.

The Review: “We bought this couch last fall and absolutely love it. It is soft and comfortable to sit and lay on. The chaise of the couch is great for napping, lounging, and reading. The fabric is easy to vacuum (dog hair comes right off the material). After seven months of use, it still looks good and feels brand new.”

Briones Upholstered Sofa

Is it weird to say a couch is hot? Because this couch is definitely hot. I mean, I can just picture it now: me dressed in a frilly robe lounging on this velvet bad boy with a martini in one hand and a toothpick full of olives in the other. Very hot, indeed.

The Review: “Highly satisfied with design and quality. Provides a very luxurious touch to my home.”

Kerby Recessed Arm Loveseat

Tax return less than you were expecting this year? Same:( Luckily, this curved lil loveseat gives high-end style for a bargain price. You and your bank account can take a much-needed sigh of relief.

The Review: “I love this sofa! It arrived in just a week and it was so easy to put the legs on (I did it by myself in like 10 minutes, it wasn’t too heavy to handle). It looks great with the rest of my bedroom decor and it’s more comfortable than I expected. Great loveseat for a super cheap price.”

Diane Sofa

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little leather? When it comes to furniture, there is just something about a warm brown leather that feels penthouse-level luxurious. This modern couch comes in several upholstery options, but the microfiber leather you see here has my heart.

The Review: “We were very happy with our purchase. It’s a little intimidating buying something without being able to see or touch it. We were so pleased when it arrived. Good quality and very comfortable. Perfect for our new home. Being able to order free fabric samples is reassuring as well.”

Alpine Upholstered Sofa

Sometimes less is more, and this couch is proof. Available in five chic muted tones (personally, I am a fan of the light green), this curved sofa with velvet upholstery gives minimalist design vibes while still being the statement piece of your space. And the fact that it requires zero assembly? Talk about a cherry on top.

The Review: “This sofa is absolutely stunning! I purchased this for a model unit at a very high-end property. I'm in love with it! Only complaint I would have is that because of the shape, it's a little awkward to move…LOVE, LOVE this sofa and have received A LOT of compliments so far!”

Kearney Round Arm Loveseat

Okay, so you might not be able to stretch your legs out on this one, but if you are working with minimal square footage, this lil loveseat is totally worth checking out. The sleek design and lush fabric are guaranteed to look WORLDS better than that rickety futon you’ve had since college. And for those who have the space for a mini living room revamp, there's also a matching chair!

The Review: “Ordered this couch for my studio loft and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect size and the curve sections the space off perfectly…I adore this couch and I couldn't be happier. Shipping time and delivery were literally incredible.”

Nouveau 4-Piece Curved Sectional Sofa

If your house is the go-to hangout spot, then you know just how awkward it is when all seats are claimed and you have to banish one of your friends to the floor. This massive sectional from Crate & Barrel can easily accommodate all your guests without anyone having to “squeeze on in.” Personal space, granted.

The Review: “Very happy with this sectional. The 4-piece gives a true semicircular shape (finishing in the nice subtle curve of the armrests on each side) which is hard to find and looks great…The stock Opus chenille fabric has a nice feel, can't comment on long-term yet but seems durable. Seating position is comfortable and supportive.”

Marlow Performance Bouclé Curve Sofa

Bouclé has had a death grip on the design world for a couple of years now. And TBH, considering just how comfy-cozy it is, I think it's safe to say it's here to stay. This bouclé sofa, with its impeccable design and spill-resistant upholstery, is sure to withstand the test of time.

The Review: “I have the Marlow Bouclé Curve Sofa & it’s absolutely stunning. It was delivered so quickly & easy to click each section in place. The fabric is incredible with its texture & the color is perfect! It’s a creamy off-white with grey stitching, so it isn’t too stark. Comfort level is surprisingly comfortable with the shape! The cushions have the perfect amount of soft/firmness. Soft enough to cuddle up on, firm enough to hold its shape. Incredible quality & a work of art! So happy with my sofa!”

Velvet Round Arm Curved Sofa

This couch and this couch alone will help your space reach the grown and stylish adult threshold. We all know velvet's soft to the touch, so this was made to be an extra comfy lounge. You've got to appreciate the statement fabric's aesthetic as well—it's too chic.

The Review: "I love this sofa! I was skeptical to buy it because there were no reviews. I’m so glad I did! It’s very firm which I like because I find softer sofas sag quicker. The velvet is high quality as stated in the description. It just arrived and looks perfect in my space!"

5-Seater Curved Boucle Sofa Couch

Fans of the mid-century modern look, may we have your attention please? This couch's silhouette alone is enough to make me fall in love, but on top of that, this 5-seater is made with boucle fabric (our fave) and high density foam. You'd have to peel me off of this sofa.

The Review: "Obsessed with this couch. Looked for a long time for a couch that would fit my house. It makes the space look so much bigger than it is and it's so comfortable. Best purchase!

Tuxedo Arm Curved Sofa

Did someone call for a couch with a classic, yet modern vibe? They don't call it the Tuxedo couch for no reason—everything from this seater's fabric to its contemporary design screams, "I'm subtle yet sophisticated and I know it!"

The Review: "Beautiful sofa. It's comfortable and looks high end. Very happy with this purchase."

Round Arm Curved Sofa

How often do you see a corduroy couch? If your answer is "quite often" I need to run in your circles—but if it's "not enough" it's time for you to be the trendsetter. Corduroy is such such a cool and unexpected fabric choice, plus it looks stunning in each of this sofa's four color options.

The Review: "Love this couch! So comfortable, great size, simple assembly, and gorgeous color! (I went with the yellow-like color, it's gorgeous.)"

Primrose Glam Curved Sofa

Too often, furniture is given "accent" status without providing "accent furniture" personality. Or "accent furniture" eccentricity! However, this couch has earned the title. It's sleek build and eye-catching coloring makes it so!

The Review: "This sofa is not only beautiful, but also very comfortable and sturdy. It’s a major attraction in my home, everyone loves it. The color is just gorgeous."

Stylish Sofa Bed

If you're here, you're prob ready to experiment with furniture shapes that'll give your space some more dimension. Hence why this unique sofa bed is worth your attention. The special oval design of this 2-in-1 sofa should be enough to signal that it is not your granny's fold out couch.

The Review: "This is actually a fairly nice chair. It was usable immediately, but looks even nicer after it’s been out of the vacuum pack and slept on a few times. The mattress is comfortable and big enough for my 6ft tall husband to lounge on."

Build-Your-Own Living Room Set

Do you remember how exciting those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books were back in the day? Get ready for the home decor equivalent. This living room set from Castlery allows you to pick and choose from a lineup of cool curved pieces to build your own dream sectional. Don't you just adore having options?

The Review: "Impressed with the quality and build of this set. Pieces are not physically joined so are easy to adjust, move, and adapt - we frequently move the table piece. Seating depth is just right for an upright but comfortable angle. Still new but feels well constructed, hoping it stands up to use over time."
