Best value living room sofas

Top pick: the 4-Seat Modular Sofa. It's the best balance of size, comfort and long-term value — a big, deep-seated modular that seats four, rates very highly with thousands of buyers, and can be reconfigured or added to later, which is what makes a couch last through a move or a growing household.

Who the others suit:

• OVIOS U-Shaped Sectional — the most seating for the money if you have a large room and want a lounge-y, everyone-fits setup.
• Crate & Barrel Gather Deep Sofa — worth the step up if you want leather and deep, sink-in comfort for the long haul.
• BedLuxury 47" Loveseat — for a small living room, apartment or reading nook.
• Leumius / Lofka convertible sofas — for a guest room or studio where the couch doubles as a bed; expect budget-level comfort.
• Asucoora Tufted Velvet — if you want a dressier velvet look on a tight budget.

Skip the Monterey sectional unless you have a very large space and budget — it's a lot of couch.
