When it comes to buying the perfect sofa, it's all about the features and the details. Of course you'll want something that's both stylish and comfy, but making sure it's the right size is also important. We're not just talking about for your space either, because sometimes thin and narrow sofas may look good, but they aren't necessarily comfy. If you're looking for something lounge-worthy, you might want to try a wider option. To help you find the biggest and most plush choices, we scoured the internet and rounded up our picks for the best wide couches — keep reading to see all the specs and features worth considering.
There are so many key factors that come into play, but let's first start with the material. If you have kids or are a pet owner, you might want to a consider a more durable fabric like polyester that's easy to clean. Or if you're looking for a standout piece, then you can opt for velvet that comes in a vibrant shade. Size is also important to think about: while all of our options are wide, they come in a variety of shapes and inches, so don't forget to measure your space. You'll want to make sure your choice won't be overbearing when it arrives. After narrowing in on logistical features more, then you can start to think about brand and price point. We found a number of options ranging from affordable finds at Wayfair and Target to more designer pieces from Hay and Albany Park.
