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. But in reality? 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 pint-sized loveseat. Translation? There’s no room to stretch out or kick up my feet. Since using my own sofa isn’t part of my daily routine, I rarely think about couches in general. But a chance encounter with one (a deep sofa to be precise) made me borderline obsessed with ’em.

The Best Cozy, Deep Sofas

A couple of years back, my boyfriend and I went to Sunday brunch at a friend’s house, where I spotted the coziest deep sofa I had ever seen. At first glance, it looked like your average couch; however, it had extra-deep seats (at least 30 inches; anything above 24-inches is considered deep), so you could kick up your legs — or sit crisscrossed — and relax. While I won’t be able to fit a deep couch in my small studio apartment anytime soon, you can bet I’ve bookmarked a few for the future. Check out 17 of the best deep sofas on the market today. But be warned: Once you sink into one, you might have a hard time sitting anywhere else.

Ashley

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.
