Finding a luxury couch is harder than it may seem. Yes, there are a lot of worthy options to consider, but that doesn’t mean they’ll all work in your space. So we took it upon ourselves to hunt around our favorite retailers—think Serena & Lily, 1stDibs, and Frontgate, among others—to deliver on our promise to find the most promising sofas on the market. Not only did we discover what we’d consider the best couch available, but we found 23 runner-ups in various styles, colors, and fabrics. For those who are so picky that you can never find something you like, rest assured that there are plenty of customizable options that will suit your style needs.

The thing about luxury sofas is: They’re rarely cheap. In fact, they tend to come with super high price tags, but, in our experience, you get what you pay for. In this case, you get a beautiful sofa crafted (often by hand) in high-quality materials that last at least a few years. So if you’re moving into a new home or simply want to refresh your current one, the best place to start the design process is the room in which you spend the most time, like the living room. Next, the biggest piece of furniture, which, in the living space is usually the sofa.



Ahead, you’ll find 24 luxury couches that will instantly elevate any space—even the littlest ones. From a vintage pink Chesterfield to a modular alternative, many cozy options are on offer.

Perhaps the most sustainably made sofa on the market, Medley's Gio features loose natural latex seat cushions that are wrapped in wool, wool fiber back pillows with removable zippered covers, and domestically sourced, FSC-certified hardwood frames. Shape-wise, it falls on the classic side, with a deep seat and tall back, offering a bit more posture encouragement than the typical low-back sofa.

You can't go wrong with a sophisticated Chesterfield sofa, which were most popular in noble homes throughout the 19th century. Back then, they were a staple of the Victorian era, but now, nearly 200 years later, they haven't changed much in terms of the aesthetic. With a button-tufted back, low cushioned seats, rolled arms, and hand-applied brass nailhead trim, the Barrow is a worthy option in any living room. If the idea of a white couch freaks you out, worry not. It comes in more than 40 colors and fabrics, including the classic Chesterfield leather.

One of many valid reasons this sofa is so expensive is because it's vintage from the 1960s. We don't know much about it other than the fact that it was originally designed and hand-crafted in France and currently lives in an antique shop about an hour outside Amsterdam. It was made about 200 years after Marie Antoinette ruled France, but we have a feeling she would appreciate the level of detail, regal finish, and feminine details.

Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner snagged The Essential sofa when she moved into her New York City apartment and has only nice things to say about it. "I am not one to assemble furniture, but this took no more than 15 minutes to put together. Granted, I had to have a friend help, but that's okay," she says. "Two years later, it's remarkably comfortable, clean, and fade-free."
