Maybe you have DIY or an economical floral confection without having to cut it. Or maybe being stuck at home during quarantine causes your sofa to sink inward and worse, wear out. If you need a new sofa, you’ve come to the right place.
A few of us here on the Gear team have spent several months testing out a range of couches that you can order online. We still haven’t tested enough to make a choice of the Best Overall Couch for sure, but our current favorites are below.
Much as bed mattress in box, ordering a couch online is simpler than you think. You just choose what you want, place your order and reply: Several boxes will arrive on your front porch. Assemble the parts and you’re good to go. But it’s important to do your research first. Many sofa manufacturers offer samples of fabrics that you should utilize to ensure that the color and feel are exactly what you want. Be sure to measure the area where the bench is located, as well as the door frames and stairs for apartments with access.
Update December 2021: We’ve added Kova, along with an optional Lovesac upgrade.
