1. A velvet couch reviewers are absolutely loving for its beauty, comfort, and convenience — it checks all the boxes, kind of like finding your soulmate but in couch form.
Shipping: Available to ship in 1–2 days, and delivery within 10 days.
Promising review: "I wish I had the words to describe the perfection of this piece. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Kate so I knew it would be good but holy mackerel I'm so blown away. This couch is everything. They could easily charge 2–3x more but I'm endlessly thankful that they kept the everyday person in mind with the price point. It's gorgeous, comfy, solid, well built, easy to put together, and GORGEOUS!" —Steph F :)

2. A convertible futon sleeper sofa that's super convenient in case you have people over and want to prolong the party; your guests will have zero complaints about the velvet feel.
Shipping: Ships within 2–3 days.
Promising review: "Buying a futon online can be somewhat nerve racking; buying one on Amazon can be downright terrifying. With that said, we did lots of comparing all over and now feel extremely silly for waiting on making this purchase for so long. To start with the color is gorgeous and exactly as shown, which is excellent as it will fit in perfectly with our decor. Assembly took all of 20 minutes maybe, and by minute 21 my animals were enthusiastically exploring the comfort, which is also surprisingly pleasant. It’s firm but not too much so, and the fabric just feels expensive you know? Size wise it’s perfect — our place isn’t the largest apartment and this doesn’t overwhelm the space yet can easily seat three people no problem. It also easily collapses for sleeping and we’re looking forward to having extra guests over now that they have somewhere to crash. All in all, super pleased and will certainly be entertaining further purchases from the brand. You just cannot beat the quality and price." —Bridget

Promising review: "I just moved with little to no furniture. I needed something stylish and cute and affordable and logged into Wayfair. I went to gray couches and bam just what I wanted, the perfect size for my one bedroom apartment. It was very simple to put together, I just dragged it into my home, cut inside the box, and found everything I needed to get the job done. It’s actually quite comfortable as well. My aunt came to visit me and she’s now looking to purchase her own." —suad

Promising review: "This sofa is awesome you guys. You really have to purchase this sofa if you have an overnight guest with limited sleeping space. The color is beautiful and the texture is so inviting to the touch... it really is a velvet material... but not a cheap material. The sofa tilts down flat to make the perfect sleeping space for your guest. It sleeps three really easily. I purchased this for my tiny space and it's perfect! My grandkids also enjoy the storage space underneath. All the toys are right at hand and it provides an easy cleanup afterwards." —Judith

Shipping: Arrives within 1–3 days.
Promising review: "Absolutely fantastic couch! The fabric is sooo incredibly soft! A tiny bit firm at first, but the best kind of firm. We’ve had the couch for about two weeks and you can already feel it starting to give a little more. But the firmness is necessary to keep the structure of the cushions last longer. We purchased the emerald couch and the color is absolutely stunning!!! A perfect jewel green and very true to the photos. Delivery was on time (earlier in the day even) and the men that delivered the couch were extremely helpful!" —Morgan
Get it from Wayfair for $1,180 (available in eight colors).
8. A velvet loveseat couch akin to owning your own personal cloud from which you can simply float away from all of your earthly worries (without even leaving your living room).
Shipping: Delivery within five days.
Promising review: "For around $800 this couch is amazing. Our previous couch was almost too big, and this one was a little smaller than I thought it would be — but still a great size. The couch is a bit firm yet still so soft at the same time, very comfortable and sturdy feeling. The true color is a bit hard to capture, depending on the light — farther away or late afternoon/ evening it looks more of a beautiful hunter green and then up close or early morning it looks more of a blue emerald green. The couch really is very beautiful. I also got the deluxe delivery and unpacking and the associates were phenomenal. Right on time, friendly and courteous. They opened the box, put the legs on, placed the couch where I asked, and then took the huge box when they left. I highly recommend this couch and that service." —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $845+ (available in two velvet colors, and in a loveseat, sofa, or sectional).
9. A velvet couch equipped with a fancy tufted texture and a nice, high back that will feel like heaven to sprawl out on at the end of a very long day (or at the very beginning of the day, which inevitably turns into the end).
Shipping: Arrives within 8 days.
Promising review: "Lovvvve this couch. It’s not too big, not too small. Putting it together was fairly easy and quick — I was able to put it together myself in about one hour. I’ve had it for a month or two now and haven’t found any problems with it. For the price, I would absolutely say it’s worth it." —Monica
Get it from Target for $799.99 (originally $999.99; available in three colors).

Shipping: Arrives within 8–19 days, with $99.99 shipping fee.
Promising review: "Why should you get this couch? I have never written an Amazon review, and yet upon reviewing my order, not only has it exceeded every expectation, my living room is now my favorite part of my apartment. The color is gorgeous, the fabric is so soft. It is firm however I was surprised at how comfortable I am when relaxing and working on my laptop. You can also add some blankets and it’s perfect. I’m 5’6” and can lay down completely. It’s also ideal for a small space." —Kirsten Castaneda
