As the largest and arguably most important piece of furniture in your living room, the sofa is definitely worth an investment. It’s where you’ll flop down after a long day, entertain guests when you have company over, and lounge while catching up on your favorite shows. Your sofa should be both comfortable and beautiful, but that doesn’t mean you necessarily have to spend thousands of dollars to get a good-quality piece. If you know what to look for, it’s totally possible to find a sofa under $2,000 (or even under $1,000) that will serve you well for many years to come. Below, we lay out our best tips for finding a sofa on a budget and some of the best affordable sofas to shop now.

How to Find the Best Sofa on a Budget

Shopping online always requires a bit of a leap of faith, but even more so when you’re buying something as large and pricey as a sofa. That said, online retailers are some of the best places to shop for affordable sofas. If testing out a sofa in person is not an option, be sure to read the reviews to see what others say about its comfort and durability. For a sofa that will hold up well over time, look for one with a solid wood frame and foam cushions (as opposed to feather-filled ones) that won’t lose their shape. It’s also important to choose a fabric that will suit your lifestyle. If you have kids, pets, or a habit of eating and drinking on the couch, a stain-resistant and water-repellant material will definitely be a safe bet.
