Sofa/Couch Reviews and Buying Guide:

Nothing looks better than leather furniture in a home. It's stylish, modern and really accents the room it's in. Buying a leather sofa or sectional sofa made of leather can be daunting. Italian leather sofas are the most popular, but lots of couch/sofa stores like Sofa Mart and Sofa Express sell knock offs that are hard to tell if they are quality Italian leather or not. Upscale furniture stores such as Ethan Allen and Thomasville have high end leathers couches and sectional sofas that are made by the best manufacturers and it shows in the price. There are some sofas that cost $5000. Leather sofas come in all colors so make sure you take home a swatch of the color so that you can match it up with your room decor for the perfect fit. Often, the high end stores will send out a consultant to help with those type of details.

Best Online Sofa stores:

The internet has simplified searching and finding things like furniture and so we chased down the best sofa stores on the web. On a high end list we have B&B Italia, Classic Sofa, Troy, Ligne Roset and Martha Stewart Signature Line. In the middle range was Crate & Barrel, Mitchell Gold, and Thomasville. On the lower end of the spectrum was Ikea, JC Penney, and WalMart. You can do a search online for any one of those stores to find their websites and search their sofa selections. RECOMMENDED - We suggest browsing the most popular sectional sofas on Amazon here.

What is a good sleeper sofa? It's not easy finding a sleeper sofa (sofa bed) that looks good in your office or guest room and has a quality sleeping experience for your guests. The website at Roomandboard.com has a great selection of sleeper sofas with some style but function well as a sofa bed. Check out their line of Dublin, Ian, Kendall, and Paris club sleeper sofas. The Troy Queen Sleeper Sofa ($1399) at Crate and Barrel is our favorite with it's clean, contemporary lines that comes in a "soft blue-grey microfiber". Keep in mind that the couch should be comfortable at the least and designed for sleeping on. We've all spent sleepless nights on someone elses sleeper sofa and know how nice it would be to have nice place to rest your head while visiting. Don't skimp on the price and be sure to actually test drive the sofa bed in the store (many people never do). RECOMMENDED - Amazon carries a great selection - see their complete list of top selling sleeper sofas.

Where can I find cheap/discounted sofas:

Many of us just need a couch or sofa that does the trick of letting you sit comfortably or sleep on it periodically, but it doesn't have to be a designer sofa that looks great. Cheap sofas and discounted couches are available from many sources. In the real world, you can find reasonably priced sofas at JC Penney, Sears, and Walmart. Going online is a great alternative and you will find many more sofa stores than you thought imaginable. Love seats are smaller than traditional sofas and often work better in smaller rooms leaving people space to move around. See the top rated love seats on available on Amazon here. You get style, cheaper prices, and a more manageable piece of furniture for apartments, condos and in small rooms.
