10 Best Comfy Couches for Small Spaces
Check out our top 10 picks for the best comfy couches for small spaces, covering a range of prices, styles, and materials:
1 Meet&Co Eider Small Fabric Sofa
The Eider Sofa is perfect for both the office and lounging at home. It’s got a sleek, modern look and a modular design, making it easy to move around—even if you need to carry it up a few flights of stairs. Plus, it has a USB charger and power cord, which are pretty awesome extras.
When it comes to style, this couch definitely impressed me. The pillowy, rounded armrests are super chic and comfy to lean on, and the raised legs give my living room a fresh, modern feel. The back cushions have just the right amount of give for relaxed lounging.
There are tons of customization options, too. You can choose from block, slope, or arch arm styles and choose either wood or metal legs. For upholstery, you can choose performance fabric, leather, or velvet in five different colors. You can even add accessories like ottomans, lumbar pillows, chaises, or a sleep kit to turn the couch into a bed.
2 Room & Board Metro Sofa
If you’re looking for a classic sofa, the Room & Board Metro Sofa is one of the best we’ve tried. What really makes it stand out is the customization—you can choose from seven sizes, from a cozy 65-inch loveseat to a spacious 107-inch modular sofa, plus 225 fabric options to match your style.
The best part? The firmness is spot on—not too hard, not too soft. It has just the right amount of fill, making it supportive for sitting upright yet soft enough for lounging or stretching out. We do wish the armrests were a bit plusher, but that’s a small trade-off for such a great sofa.
3 PB Comfort Slipcovered Sleeper Sofa
This couch is seriously comfy with rolled arms, wide cushions, and a solid weight capacity. For a few reasons, it’s one of the best picks for small spaces. You can choose between two or three cushions based on your living room size and needs, plus many customization options. Pottery Barn offers 35 fabric and color choices; you can even get free swatches to help you decide.
The slipcover is also pretty practical—it holds up well to stains, and you can toss it in the wash if it gets dirty. Since it’s a sleeper sofa, it easily turns into a bed for guests. The main downsides are the price and delivery time—it’s pricey, and it took around six months for it to arrive. If you’re just after a simple sofa without extra features, you might want to check out some of the more affordable options on our list.
4 Burrow Range 2-Piece Sofa
The Burrow Range Sofa is a solid choice if you’re into modular furniture. It is super comfy and offers tons of customization options—from three different base setups to three-leg finishes, plus fun add-ons like ottomans. But the real standout is the fabric. The tight-weave olefin is stain-resistant, super easy to clean, and still incredibly soft to the touch.
What makes it great for small spaces is that it’s compact enough to fit well without feeling cramped, yet with the open end, it works as a loveseat that can comfortably accommodate two or even three people for movie night.
5 Mercury Row Brumback Velvet Sofa
If you’re on the hunt for a smaller sofa, it’s easy to find budget-friendly couches at most furniture stores. One standout for small spaces is the Brumback Velvet Sofa from Mercury Row. It has a cool mid-century modern look with sleek lines, and it’s just under 70 inches wide, making it perfect for tighter spaces. The foam cushions are super comfy, and the velvet-like upholstery feels soft to the touch. What we like about it is the solid wood frame made from eucalyptus and rubberwood—a nice touch that shows it’s built to last.
6 Joybird Hughes Sofa with Storage
This mid-century-style couch is a best-seller online, and for good reason—it comes with built-in storage in the base to help keep things neat and tidy. You can pick from over 80 fabric options, including velvet and chenille, and even add a matching ottoman if your space allows. If you’re after something easy to clean, Joybird also offers pet-friendly and Safeguard fabrics that are stain-resistant.
They also have a smaller version, the Apartment Sofa, which is just 66 inches wide but still comes with that handy storage feature. Joybird has a 90-day return policy, which is pretty rare for custom orders. You’ll need to cover the shipping cost, and there’s a 25% restocking fee if you return it.
7 AllModern Kearney Loveseat
This sofa sits on sleek metal block legs that run the seat’s full length. It’s got a nice curved shape and is usually covered in a soft velvet fabric, giving it a stylish, modern vibe that fits our space perfectly! Plus, while it might seem easy to assemble, it comes with free white glove delivery, so you don’t have to stress about putting it together yourself.
8 Edloe Finch Park Sofa
The Edloe Finch Park sofa is a great pick for smaller spaces that need a style boost. It’s got super soft velvet fabric and comfy foam cushions, and you can choose between brushed gold or matte black legs. We were impressed with how durable the fabric is—crumbs and spills didn’t stand a chance, and it was really easy to clean with no stains left behind.
The back cushions and side pillows are reversible, which is nice. When we first tried it, the cushions were substantial and complete, but they softened up over time. The ottoman that matches the sofa is a great bonus—perfect for kicking back and putting your feet up. It has the same plush feel as the couch and comes in the same color.
One thing we didn’t love was the couch’s short neck, which didn’t offer much neck support. Because of that, it’s better for lounging than for sitting up straight for long periods.
9 Interior Define Ella Sofa
If you’re into having choices, this could be the couch of your dreams. The Ella Sofa lets you pick from two depth options, three leg finishes, three cushion fills (so you can get the perfect level of comfort), and a huge range of colors and fabrics. And those sloped arms? They really give it a sleek, elevated look, don’t they?
10 Ashley Furniture Alessio Sofa
Ashley Furniture offers solid quality at affordable prices, and for under $500, you can grab the Alessio Sofa, which even comes with two bonus throw pillows. Its traditional style fits in with almost any living room vibe, whether you go for the sesame (like the one pictured) or charcoal fabric. The rolled arms and rounded corners give it a polished look. We like that the cushions are made with durable foam, plus the back cushions are reversible, so you can switch them up and keep things looking fresh.
Most people who’ve bought it online have been happy with their purchase. It’s a great size for anyone wanting a smaller sofa that doesn’t overwhelm the room.
FAQs
Is a Couch Better Than a Sectional for Small Spaces?
You might think sectionals only work in big spaces, but they actually come in all sizes to fit different layouts. A sectional can make a room feel more spacious by offering extra seating without the need for an ottoman. Just add a small coffee table, and you’re good to go.
A sectional sofa is a solid option if you’re deciding between a couch and a sectional. With its separate pieces, you can easily rearrange, add, or swap out parts without the hassle of buying a whole new sofa. Check out our list of 10 best sectionals for 2025!
How Much Should You Spend on a Couch for Small Spaces?
The price of your couch really depends on where it’s from, the customizations, and the materials used. If you’re after a high-end couch with lots of options for things like upholstery and size, you’re looking at $1000 or more. But Meet&Co has more affordable options. Our sofas feature solid, durable frames and high-density foam, and we can tailor the fabric to fit your budget.
What Colors Make a Small Room Look Bigger?
If you want to make a room feel bigger, there are a few things to keep in mind. Sofas in warm, neutral shades—like sand, beige, terra cotta, or cream—help the space feel more open since they blend in seamlessly without drawing too much attention. These colors go with almost any style and can make the room appear larger by creating a light, airy vibe with added depth.
