The 40 Best Cheap Sofas on the Internet

Looking for a cheap sofa? Here are my best finds!

Sofas are one of the most important pieces of furniture in your home. It's where you sit to watch TV, talk to friends, eat dinner. You might even take a nap on your sofa!

But dang, sofas can be really expensive. 

Now, I will say, nice furniture is very nice and usually worth the investment. It can be made locally, or at least in the USA, by well paid and highly skilled artisans and furniture makers. Expensive furniture will likely be made from high quality materials and will definitely last you much longer than a cheaper piece of furniture. 

I get that, I really do. But, in reality, sometimes you can't spend a ton of money on a couch. As much as I appreciate fine furniture, ten times out of ten I will tell you to buy an inexpensive couch rather than go into debt buying an expensive couch you can't afford.

I have to remind you that the best way to get a great deal on furniture is to buy it used! Be sure to check Facebook Marketplace and your local thrift stores! This also is a great way to reuse + keep old sofas out of the landfill. 

How to find the perfect sofa for the perfect price

The sofas that I have rounded up for you today are sorted by their normal price. However, the best way to get a good deal on a couch is to buy one on sale. Then, you get a nicer couch for a lower budget.

When do sofas go on sale?

Furniture typically goes on sale mid-summer and mid-winter. January is seen as the best time to buy furniture on a discount. For example, if you shop at Costco, when they put their furniture out is normally when most stores have the best deals - summer and winter.

Where to find cheap couches

I have found that the following stores are the cheapest places to get new couches for cheap:

• Walmart
• Wayfair
• Big Lots
• TJ Maxx
• Amazon
• Target
• World Market
• Urban Outfitters

Also, look for outlets near you. For example, West Elm has an outlet store in Asheville, NC that I have visited. They have great stuff - most of it is returns or "imperfect" but at good prices!

Have an old couch you want to revive? Here is how to re-stuff a saggy couch!

Things to keep in mind when shopping for an inexpensive sofa:

• Upholstery - does the material meet your needs? If you have kids or pets, you might especially want to make sure the fabric is sturdy and won't stain easily.
• Your living room size - you definitely want to be sure the sofa will fit your space. Measure in all directions, including depth!
• Do you need a sofa or a loveseat? In a smaller space, a love seat might be best. In a bigger space, how about a sectional! Also remember sleeper sofas and recliners are options, too.
• Your doorway size - will it fit into your home or into your living room? Don't forget to measure that, too!
• Colors - you usually want to buy a couch in a classic neutral color so that it matches your decor even if your style changes over time. However, you might not see this sofa as a big investment, so it can be a good chance to play around with fun and bold accent colors!
• Is it comfortable? - There is nothing worse than an uncomfortable couch. Especially keep this in mind with anything tufted or firm cushions.
• What is the cost of shipping? Something might seem like a good deal, but if you have to pay a ton for shipping, it's suddenly not that inexpensive anymore. Sometimes local furniture stores offer free delivery!
• Does it come with pillows? Sometimes couches includes pillows. This can be helpful when decorating, but sometimes the pillows are super ugly! Just something to keep in mind.

The search for the perfect couch can be so hard, especially when you are on a budget! I hope that these tips help you to shop more easily and find a beautiful sofa for your space.
