The 7 Most Comfortable Sofas of 2024, Tested by Our Editors

If you’re on the hunt for a more affordable alternative to the Cloud Couch from Restoration Hardware, this one’s got a similar fluffy, sink-into-it feeling while still keeping a bit of support for your body. “I could sleep—OK, have slept—on it, without waking to stiff hips or a creaky neck. The deep seats are ideal for tall people (I’m 5-foot-11 and my husband is 6-foot-3), and the combination of duck feathers and polyurethane foam padding make it plush without eating you alive,” says PureWow VP of editorial Candace Davison in a PureWow100 review. The upholstery is also stain- and scratch-resistant and the cushions are fit with washable covers for easy cleaning. Add to that the fact that there’s an ‘ultra stain-resistant repellant’ option, which provides an extra layer of security for messier moments. Over the past year, it’s survived spills and spit-up alike, Davison says, and all “have quickly been dabbed up, leaving no traces behind.” 

Plus, unlike other cloud couch alternatives, this one has a mixture of duck and fiber filling in the cushions—and the feathers only comprise 43 percent of the filling, so there’s less to move around and get lumpy. Still, according to Davison, there’s “the double-edged sword of enjoying duck feather filling: Occasionally, a feather pokes out, and the sofa’s cushions require more routine (say, once a week) fluffing so they don’t slouch… I [was] worried that over time—and because I spend most of my time perched in the same seat—the seat [would] start to slump, but so far, patting the seat has restored it back to its glory.” Bonus: It comes in two- or three-seater options, both of which come with an ottoman. It is worth noting, however, that this style of sofa features lower-slung seats, which can be challenging for some people—particularly those with knee issues—to get in and out of, since it requires more bending.
