Weeknight binges or weekend naps are your art. This is your canvas.
What’s better than curling up on the sofa, reading a good book, or streaming something to your TV or projector? Some might say a killer home workout. Others will say a backcounty bike ride. For us? It’s gotta be slipping on a cashmere sweater. But curling up on the couch is nice too. Especially if we’re talking one of these best extra deep sofas.
An extra-deep sofa is the only way to get real comfortable. What counts as an extra-deep sofa? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. it’s deeper than a traditional sofa. While the seat depth for most couches usually ranges between 20 and 25 inches, extra-deep-seat sofas have seat depths of at least 30 inches, which means more space to spread out.

West Elm Harmony Sofa
West Elm Harmony Sofa
Pros
- Reasonable price tag—great value
- Modern, inoffensive look
- Plush cushions
Cons
- Custom made, not stocked—bit of a turn around time
Yeah, $2000 is still an investment. But when you think about how much time you actually spend on a couch, why wouldn’t you invest? This West Elm harmony sofa is cheaper than any of the more luxury options. But when compared to the even cheaper sofas on this list, it’s got nicer fabrics, plusher cushions, and is better looking. It’s an incredible sofa.
Oh, and as for being extra deep, you can get it with either a 41″ or biiiiig ole 47″ seat depth. Absolutely perfect for lounging.
Castlery Mori Performance Fabric Sofa
Castlery Mori Performance Fabric Sofa
Pros
- Performance fabric is easy to keep clean
- Looks better than similarly priced sofas
Cons
We shout out a few other easy to clean sofas on this list, but Castlery’s performance fabric is phenomenal at staying clean. Spill some drink on it, and all you have to do is immediately dab up the liquid. Then, give it a little scrub, and the stain’s gone.
Beyond that, we like the look of this sofa more than other easy-clean types. The white upholstery and oak wood veneer gives it a very zen, cozy look.
The only downside we really had (besides the fact that there is only one upholstery option) is that it’s not that deep, seat depth comes in at 27.6″. Deep enough for a movie binge, sure. But if you want to sink way back into a couch, there are better options here.
Sundays Movie Night 4-Piece Sectional
Sundays Movie Night 4-Piece Sectional
Pros
- Amazing plush cushions
- Casual sofa, perfect for lounging
Cons
I mean c’mon, it’s right there in the title. Sundays’ Movie Night sectional is a great sofa for binging, lounging, sleeping, whatever.
There’s a few things we loved about this sectional. The ottoman being modular gives you a ton of flexibility. The cushions are some of the most plush and really envelope you. They’re even great to toss onto the floor and use there, and that’s part of the charm of this sofa. While a lot at this price point look and feel stuffy, Sundays makes a really unassuming and homey sofa—it’ll feel like you’ve had it forever.
The only thing we don’t love is the upholstery options. They’re all subdued and gray. Something a bit more fun would be welcome.
Floyd Sink Down Sectional
Floyd Sink Down Sectional
Pros
- Great upholstery options
- Nice plush seats and cushions
- Reasonably priced sectional options
Cons
Similar is Floyd’s Sink Down sectional. It looks a lot like the Sundays number, and it gets a lot of the same stuff right. The one area it beats that Sundays couch though is in upholstery.
Of all the couch brands out there, Floyd has some of our favorite swatches, especially when it comes to anything with color. If you want to add a pop of color to your living space without going overboard, this is the way to do it.
15 Deep Couches That Basically Force You to Relax
As much as we love traditional three-seater sofas, every now and then our eye wanders to the ever-cozy deep couches. Of course, neither design is inherently better than the other, but if you want to prioritize both space and comfort, the latter is going to be your better option. Here’s why: A more classic sofa often forces you to sit at a 90-degree angle with your feet on the floor because the seat is narrow (technically, it’s standard, though). A deep couch, on the other hand, quite literally encourages you to relax because it’s actually harder to sit upright. “As someone whose partner is over six feet, we are a deep sofa household,” says Tess Twiehaus, founder of California-based Tess Interiors. “A deep sofa has many benefits, the primary one being comfort. If you’ve ever raced a loved one to the corner of a sectional, you know what I mean! Being able to curl up or stretch your legs out is the ultimate luxury.”
With that in mind, we went ahead and picked out the deepest sofas we could find and put them all in one place. What’s more, we break down everything you need to know about them, including dimensions, fill, material, and why we personally love them. From an icy-toned mint velvet option inspired by modernist Italian design to a slipcovered alternative big enough for eight people, there are a lot of good picks to sort through. “My main piece of advice if your sofa is the dominant piece in a space is to have fun with the details. If you can design a fun frame or use a fabric you love, do it,” Twiehaus adds. “Your eye is going to be drawn to it anyways, so make sure you like what you see.”
