When I purchased my mid-century couch many moons ago, I thought it’d be the best seat in the house — you know, the place where I’d read a book, check emails, and eat takeout. Unfortunately, the reality ended up being very different. I’ll use any excuse to sit anywhere else. The problem with my couch, I’ve decided, is its size. You see, I live in a studio apartment, so my couch is technically a loveseat. Because of that, there’s no room to stretch out on it or kick up my feet. It turns out, what I was really missing was a truly cozy couch silhouette: the deep-seated sofa.

A couple of years back my boyfriend and I went to Sunday brunch at a friend’s house, and it was there that I was introduced to the comfiest sofa I had ever sat on. At first glance, it looked like your average cozy couch; however, it had extra-deep seats (at least 30 inches), so you could kick up your legs — or sit crisscross — and relax. While I won’t be able to fit an extra-deep couch in my small studio apartment anytime soon, you can bet I’ve bookmarked a few for the future. Below, you can reap the rewards of my obsession with our list of the 14 best deep, cozy couches on the market today. But be warned: Once you sink into one, you might have a hard time sitting anywhere else.

The 14 Best Cozy Couches with Deep Seats

Get Together Sofa
$2,750

Get cloud-like comfort, without all of the maintenance, with Sunday’s Get Together Sofa. Its cushions have a sink-in feel and deep 27-inch seats that are perfect for curling up in all day and night. Even though the cushions are plush, they don’t need constant refluffing, and the sofa’s performance fabric and washable covers make it so easy to clean.

Maggie Sofa
$1,100

There's not an inch of this Ashley sofa that isn't plush with comfort, from the cushions and back support to the squared-off armrests. All cushions are made of high-resiliency foam and wrapped in thick poly fiber, so they'll keep their shape and plus nature whether they're tossed around by your pets or act as the supports to your kids' fort. The best part? This sofa comes with four throw pillows included, taking the guesswork out of making your couch look welcoming and cozy 24/7.
