Simply put, a deep couch is just one with more surface area to sit upon. The seats are, well, big, which makes them ideal for napping or housing guests. Having the space to fully lay down flat makes a world of difference when you’re crashing on a couch—this much, I know to be true. But as much of an armchair expert as I may be (no pun intended, but that was a pretty good one!), there are actual professionals who live and breathe furniture, and they undoubtedly know better than me. I spoke to a few said experts, sifted through customer reviews, and consulted the Good Housekeeping Institute’s testing lab to bring you this list of the 11 best deep couches. Tell your houseguests they can thank me later, and good luck kicking them out.
The best part about this couch from Article is that all the cushions are uniform and thus reversible, which means you can regularly flip and rotate them to avoid sagging or pancaking.

Customer review: “The Movie Night couch is a stylish and comfortable addition to any living space.
