There's nothing I appreciate more than lounging on an unbelievably comfortable couch...but there's something about an extra-deep sofa that will introduce a whole new level of comfort into your space. "Extra-deep sofas are great for curling up if it's a more casual room or if you're someone who likes to sit cross-legged on your couch," says interior designer Paige Garland. In addition to being extremely comfy, the best extra-deep seat sofas allow you to put your feet up without an ottoman or recliner. And! They can easily double as a daybed for overnight guests. Truly, we love the versatility.

We also have to note that there's a *ton* of variety within this sofa category. "There are different fill types, like feather or foam, and also different levels of firmness, just like mattresses," Paige says. "Some of these couches go all the way down to the floor and some don't—or have legs beneath—so if you don't want to be worried about things rolling under, having one that goes all the way down is nice!" What these selects all have in common: They're deep AF and *perfect* for lounging.

So...are you convinced that you need one of these bad boys in your life yet? Ahead, check out our top picks for extra-deep couches and sofas that are ideal for kicking up your feet, as well as everything you should know before making the investment.

From Bachelor Nation fan-fave couple Sean and Catherine Lowe's furniture line comes this supreeeeemely comfy, oversized sofa. Reviewers love the buttery-soft fabric, the two included throw pillows, the cushy foam filling, and the fact that it comes in two color options: black or navy. Oh, and that price truly can't be beat.

Glowing Customer Review: "Holy deep couch! This thing is beautiful, first of all, and secondly, it's enormous and ridiculously comfortable. I've gotten a ton of compliments, and it sleeps as nicely as it sits. We'll see how it holds up to two small boys, but for now I'll be enjoying the cushy deep haven it's providing."

If you're looking to kick up your feet without dropping big money, this is the extra-deep seat couch for you. Featuring scratch-resistant corduroy fabric in more than half a dozen color options, this ribbed sleeper is firm without feeling stiff and is big enough for two people to lounge (and even sleep!) in total comfort. Plus, it will only set you back $600!!

Glowing Customer Review: "This is the ultimate snuggle couch! If you’re looking for something comfortable and cozy to build a nest in your living room, this is the sofa thing for you. It’s two wide chaises that are fully finished but can be attached via included clamps, and each is big enough for a reasonable sized adult to curl up and sleep on."

Does it get any comfier than this beauty? I think not!! Incredibly deep and wildly plush, the Sink Down Sectional uses a blend of premium memory foam and blown fiber to create a cloud-like feel with a suuuper-relaxed silhouette. Other perks include the modular design, the stain-resistant fabric, and the variety of configuration options (all generously oversized, ofc).

Glowing Customer Review: "First off, I must say that this is potentially the deepest sofa I've ever seen, which is fantastic if that's what you're looking for. We got it in the color Sand. It's a great neutral color, and the fabric is soft yet still feels durable. I'd compare it to the feeling of an pair of worn-in jeans when they start to get a little thinner and more malleable."

If you want a statement piece that'll let ya lounge in style, pls turn your attention to this option from Joybird. With its high-density polyurethane foam core, this medium-firm sofa feels like a dream, and it comes in TONS of color and fabric options, including velvets, pet-friendly fabrics, stain-resistant fabrics, and sustainable fabrics.

Glowing Customer Review: "The Anton Daybed in Royale Amethyst is beautiful, feels like buttah, and is soooo comfortable!!! It's a little slice of heaven in my living room, and it's large enough for me and my three fur babies. If you've been considering a purchase from Joybird, do yourself a favor and do it!!"

What's cool about this one: It features adjustable backrests, so you can either have it set up as a standard-seat couch or an extra-deep double chaise lounger—the choice is yours! Reviewers are impressed with the durable chenille fabric on this one, as well as the firm but supportive feel (though just note that this one is preeeeetty low to the ground).

Glowing Customer Review: "This couch is exactly what I was looking for: super deep, firm, and well constructed. The beige is pretty light so I am going to treat it with a stain repellent."

Made with a brushed steel base and a high-density foam core, this bb is durable. It's also really, really comfy, with many reviewers calling it the "most comfortable sofa" you'll ever own. It's available in multiple fabric options and plenty of gorgeous, muted colors, so you can make this sofa work with any decor style.

Glowing Customer Review: "I own a design firm, which means I've seen a literal eff ton of sofas of every type from every possible manufacturer. This is the comfiest sofa I have ever—and likely WILL ever—own...I don't know how we lived without this sofa."

Chances are you've seen 7th Avenue going viral on TikTok for its virtually indestructible sofas—and if you're someone with a fur baby (or an actual baby), this modular couch may be exactly what you're looking for. My personal fave setup: this modular daybed, which features two corner seats (which you can opt to make eight inches deeper if you want!) and two ottomans, all connected as one unit. And the three performance fabric options? All water-repellent and stain-resistant.

Glowing Customer Review: "Such a comfortable and beautiful couch. We have been using this couch as a bed—the kids love pretending they are camping. Super comfortable and fits the whole family, including the dogs. We love it."

Stuffed with a high-density sponge and feather down, this deep, cloud-like sofa is endlessly modular and wildly soft—plus, it has full edge-to-edge removable and washable fabric, so you don't have to stress over spills and stains. You can just sit back, kick up your feet, and enjoy the sink-in comfort. Best of all: The cushions are designed to be easily refillable, which allows you to adjust the filling to your heart's content.

Glowing Customer Review: "Love the daybed. Very comfortable and nice-looking."

An extra-deep sofa with built-in storage? Yes, pls. This modular option comes with a removable storage side table, which you can install either between the two chaises or on either side (and it doubles as the perfect side table!). Oh, and it also boasts an adjustable seat depth, allowing you to give yourself up to three feet of sitting room.

Glowing Customer Review: "Comfy modular sleeper sofa. The sofa easily transitions to an extra deep XL twin feel. Would absolutely recommend this sofa. It was very easy to assemble and I love that you can reposition the storage."

Raise your hand if you just wanna curl up and take a nap on this sofa 🙋‍♀️. Complete with puffy, overstuffed cushions and a detachable ottoman platform base, this laidback lounger is designed to become the best seat in the house. And since it's just a little over six feet wide, it's a great pick for smaller spaces as well.

Glowing Customer Review: "We needed a cozy little nest at our cabin for reading and an extra sleeping area for guests. That’s exactly what this piece of furniture provides! We love it!"

Okay, but this basically isn't even a sofa, y'all—it's a living room megabed, and we're here for it. With feather-blend, foam-topped seat cushions and endless configuration options, this modular sofa from Albany Park has the cushiness of a mattress and is SO easy to move and assemble thanks to its six separate pieces. Plus, you can get it in a dozen statement-making color options.

Glowing Customer Review: "I can’t say enough good things about this couch. It’s changed the way we feel about our house, movie nights, and cuddling in general. The fabric is soft, unbelievably soft! The cushions are extremely comfortable. It has definitely become our favorite place to hang out."

While def not cheap, this stunner from Crate & Barrel is an investment that's WELL worth making, promise. You can get it in basically any color and fabric imaginable (including microfiber, canvas, chenille, leather, bouclé, twill, velvet, and linen, among others), and the soy-based polyfoam seat cushions are made to last through many, many movie nights.

Glowing Customer Review: "We are finally able to lounge comfortably as a family on this couch!! There is so much room, and it's incredibly soft and surprisingly easy to wipe clean from minor spills, crumbs, and dog hair. So far we are loving purchase."

Let's break this down for those that wanna know the numbers. There are multiple couch depth categories, and the "extra-deep" ones are those that have a seat depth of at least 35 inches. (That's the space measured from the front of the chair to the back cushion.) A sofa that's 20 to 25 inches deep is considered average, while a "deep" one is typically 28 to 35 inches.

A couch or sofa is an investment that should last you for years (if not a lifetime!), and while you can always spruce it up with a slipcover or decor pillows, the couch itself should be q-u-a-l-i-t-y. Here are a few things to consider before buying that extra-deep-seat sofa of your dreams:

Here's the thing about extra-deep sofas: They tend to be, ya know, extra big. Be sure to measure your living area (as well as your doorways, hallways, elevator, and any other space this couch will have to pass through) because nothing's worse than ordering a piece of furniture that's just too damn big for your apartment.

Want a neutral-toned couch that’ll last you forever and work with a variety of color palettes? Or maybe you’re looking for a jewel-toned pop of color to anchor your living room? Whether you want something luxurious, extra-durable, or even washable, we've got options for ya, so just think about your decor...and any fur babies/actual babies that may wreak havoc on your new piece.

Extra-deep sofas tend to be pretty low to the ground to give 'em that extra-comfy, bed-like feel. However! If you're on the taller side and don't wanna struggle while getting on and off your couch, then be sure to check out the height and make sure the sofa you pick isn't *too* close to the ground.
