The most popular options are an L-shaped or sectional sofa. Both sofas can be shaped to suit your needs. They are available in a variety of designs and colors that include neutral shades and vibrant colors.

The cushion filling should consist of a combination between spring coils for support and fibers, with feathers or duck down to provide softness. The frame should be made from kiln-dried wood using mortise-and-tenon joinery instead of engineered lumber. The couch should be constructed of stain-resistant, durable performance fabrics that are easily cleaned.
Forbes Vetted panelists have tested the sofas on our Best Buy list for durability, comfort, and ease of assembly and delivery. Panelists tested the springs as well as frames to ensure they could withstand regular use. They also assessed the frame's durability, observing whether it squeaked or popped as they were moved or adjusted. They also jumped on the couches, listening for any springs that snapped or popped and then sat on them for hours, evaluating their comfort. They also put any cushions they could wash through a washing cycle to determine if they were shrinking or irregular shape.
There is a wide range of affordable options on Craigslist or other marketplaces on the internet. You can also look for refurbished, modern models on the websites of major retailers.
For instance, you can buy a brand-new or gently used emerald green sectional from Pottery Barn for just under $2,000 and a brand-new navy blue recliner sectional from Wayfair for less than $3000. If you're willing to take more of a risk, you might be able to find a few year old sectional on Craigslist for a fraction of the cost. Just remember to make sure you check the seller's reputation and ask if they have bed bugs or other issues before buying.
You can also buy furniture from a retailer with an outlet in your area. They sell furniture at a reduced price, often 30% less than the retail price. You can also save by looking for sales during summer or other sales such as Black Friday. However, it's important to keep in mind that you may need to pay for shipping and build your couch yourself. If you're looking for a quick, cheap solution, look for a pre-made sofa from an established manufacturer that offers various designs, or an assembled version that is manufactured in the US. They are typically shipped in small boxes and require a simple assembly. However, you will want to place it in your garage for the night with bed bug traps to make sure it isn't attracting these annoying insects.
