24 Best Luxury Couches 2024

There are many ways to be luxurious, but a good rule of thumb is simplicity. Luxury couches just don’t try too hard. They have solid construction and a few details to make them feel special, like the dramatic length big frame of Arhaus’s Keegan. It’s the kind of grandeur a throne might have, except it’s a couch and you don’t have to rule over anyone.

If you want the look without the huge price tag, Article’s Olalla is one of the best-looking sofas under $2,000 we’ve seen. The cane rattan frame feels a bit mid-century and adds a natural touch to your space. The linen-blend fabric is inconspicuous and easy to clean. All in all, it’s an incredible sofa for the price.

Italy’s post-war design boom is a huge part of what made the Mediterranean nation a cultural powerhouse. Fiat, Vespa, Ferrari—most big Italian brands came about around this time. In the interior-design world, Mario Bellini was pushing the world forward, and this sofa—how about we call it the “Ferrari of Interior Design.”

Dumb associations aside, it’s one of the most popular designer sofas of all time. This is a more affordable replica of that sofa. But the modular design and plethora of materials mean anyone can find a combo to fit their home, apartment, or office space.

A previous Esquire Home Awards winner, Burrow’s union sectional is everything an investment couch should be. It’s easy to lounge on, easy to sleep on, and just easy to live on.

With a built in side table, nothing is going to match the functionality of this sofa from Rove Concepts. But if you have the space, we’d really recommend the sectional version.

Floyd’s look and feel are investment-piece worthy, but it doesn’t look or feel like it should belong in some stuffy estate’s living room. It’s designed to be played with and is even durable enough for kids to jump on. Keep it as a two-seater or expand it to three, turn it into a chaise sectional—it’s all up to you. It’s big and comfy, a couch you want to sleep on, a couch you’ll want to keep forever.

I mean look at it. The deep seat, the plush back, the top grain leather—it all screams comfort. Of the two colors, we prefer the look of this caramel to that of the taupe, but either will get a beautiful patina as it ages.

Sundays is known for a laid-back personality that works well for similarly themed rooms. Its Movie Night sofa has a plush, cloudlike feel similar to the $10k celebrity-favorite cloud couch by Restoration Hardware. Thus, it belongs somewhere in a famous star’s house, or the house that you pretend is owned by a famous star—you.

APT2B’s vibe is streamlined and warm and often leans toward “less is more.” Its sleeper sofa is exactly all three. It has clean lines, comes with breathable fabrics and supportive cushions, and features quite a few color options. Then it opens up into a little bed your guests won’t mind sleeping on.

Albany Park’s sofas are a solid initial step into higher-end sofas. A futon update, for example. The Park Sofa is big, comfy, and mid-century simple, which means it can keep working for the room even if the style around it changes. The charcoal colorway is a little safe and subtle, but there are also daring colors like olive and mustard for something more out-there.

Design Within Reach—not the price—has been all over the place for those into decor trends. The brand sources great pieces from designers and streamlines them online, like this Outline couch whose upholstery-to-leg proportion might seem kind of off, but that’s exactly how it manages to look so good.

For a sofa to look and feel luxurious, velvet is the fabric to go for. And Sabai Design makes its supersoft, velvety Essential Sofa that you could use in every room. It’s also designed with wide arms and removable back cushions. Plus, Sabai uses recycled and upcylced materials so you can live in luxury without the guilt.
