The 11 Best Couches at Walmart of 2023

Best Overall: Hillsdale Living Essentials Larissa Sofa

Buy on Walmart

The Hillsdale Living Essentials Larissa Sofa may not be the largest sofa on the market, but its innovative built-in USB charging ports, durable polyester cushions, and easy-to-assemble frame make it our top choice for couches from Walmart. Unlike other sofas that come in tiny pieces and require over an hour of assembly, this sofa can easily be assembled without any power tools and literally snaps together in minutes. However, we're slightly suspicious of this easy-to-assemble frame's durability against rambunctious kids or lots of bouncing.

Despite our question of long-term durability, we love this sofa's timeless design with fluffy back cushions and comfortable pocket coil seat cushions, plus the polyester material will stand up against staining and wear. We're slightly disappointed that the cushion covers aren't machine washable, especially since this sofa is offered in two lighter finishes; however, it can easily be spot cleaned with an upholstery cleaner or stain spray.

We also love this sofa's modern take on convenience with built-in USB charging ports and hidden storage pockets for magazines, books, or tablets. Overall, we think this sofa is great for anyone looking for a reliable starter sofa or an upgraded, modern sofa to replace their worn-out couch.

Best Budget: Mainstays Gray Faux Suede Memory Foam Futon

Buy on Walmart

Being on a budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice functionality or style when purchasing a sofa. This memory foam futon from Mainstays is not only priced under $200, but is also well-designed to make the most for small space living or multi-functional rooms. Pillow-top cushions offer plenty of support in both seat and bed form, and the cushions are made from memory foam, so your overnight guests are sure to enjoy a full night of rest.

We appreciate this futon's split back and seat design, which makes it easier to convert into a bed and also assists with the assembly process. The arm rests can be folded up or down for added support when in bed or couch form. We will point out that this futon's upholstery, although made of 100 percent polyester, may still be prone to staining, so we recommend being cautious when eating or drinking around it. The bed also measures 72 x 42.5 inches, which is close to a full, but is not an exact match, so you may find that a fitted sheet is not perfectly snug against the cushions. Despite these minor design concerns, we still think this futon is worth the investment, especially considering its comfortable cushions and its reinforced wooden and metal frame.

Best Mid-Century Modern: HOMFA Square Arm Sofa

Buy on Walmart

It can be challenging to find a mid-century modern couch that's well-made and doesn't cost over $500. The HOMFA Square Arm Sofa at Walmart is a great compromise, if you're looking for the look of a mid-century modern couch without the high price point. This sofa is upholstered with a mix of microfiber and microsuede to create a faux leather appearance, and the cushions are filled with foam and reinforced with coils in the seats.

It comes with two matching cylindrical throw pillows that can be arranged at your discretion or placed on separate arm chairs to tie your living area together. This sofa's solid pine wood frame is sure to offer plenty of support for years to come, but we wish the cushions weren't quite so stuffed looking. While the coils are meant to reinforce their shape and prevent sagging over time, we think a little bit of use will give this sofa that perfect lived-in look that mid-century modern pieces often have.

Best Minimalist: Gap Home Upholstered Wood Base Sofa

Buy on Walmart

This minimalist-inspired couch design from Gap Home is sure to last you for years and stand up to wear from both children and pets. It's supported by a solid wood base, and we personally love the exposed wooden legs that brings a bit of warmth to the design. The upholstery is linen-inspired meaning it has the texture and appearance of linen but is likely a synthetic blend that's much more durable than linen's natural weave. We recommend being wary of muddy paws and spaghetti sauce—especially if you choose the oat color—because this fabric still may not be the best stain resistant option.

We also love the fluffy foam cushions that are extra large and perfect for curling up with a throw blanket and good book. Two matching throw pillows are also included to help you style your living area. Assembly is required, but all necessary tools and pieces are included in the packaging. Overall, we think this couch is a great design that definitely rivals more expensive models on the market.

Best Leather: Hillsdale Jianna Faux Leather Sofa 

Buy on Walmart

The Hillsdale Jianna Faux Leather Sofa is the ideal choice for anyone hoping to achieve the look of a traditional leather sofa without breaking their bank account. This sofa is not only affordable but also well made with a solid wood frame and coil-wrapped seat cushions that will prevent sagging over time. This couch's upholstery is also scuff-resistant, unlike real leather, but we recommend keeping sharp cat and dog claws off of it to prevent any tearing that may occur. It's also important to note that some faux leather fabrics have a tendency to peel, so we recommend keeping this couch out of direct sunlight and avoid contact with large liquid spills.

If you do need to spot treat this couch's upholstery, a damp cloth should help remove any sticky residue or stains. We also love that this couch doesn't require any tools to assemble it, but we recommend having a helper nearby to assist in the overall process. Whether you style this couch for your boho living room or ranch-inspired man cave, it'll make a great addition to any living space and should withstand regular wear and tear for several years.

Best Tufted: Zinus Benton Sofa

Buy on Walmart

It should be no surprise that Zinus, a company known for its comfortable bedding products, also has a home furniture line. Their Benton Sofa is the perfect balance of sophisticated grid tufting with soft, yet supportive cushions that encourage the occasional afternoon cat nap. Zinus promises a 20 minute assembly process for this couch, which is packed into one compact box with all of its parts and detailed assembly instructions.

We also love that they include a one-year warranty for any factory defects that you find on the couch as you use it. The cushions are filled with a mixture of dense foam and springs for that perfect firm, yet plush experience when lounging. The coils also ensure that this couch won't sag overtime. We wish Zinus specified this couch's frame material as that would help to determine its overall durability and weight. However, we don't consider this a complete negative to the couch, as it's otherwise well-constructed and thoughtfully packaged for a convenient shopping experience.

Best Pillowback: Mainstays Memory Foam PillowTop Futon with Cupholder

Buy on Walmart

This Mainstays Memory Foam PillowTop Futon is well-suited for both bachelors and chic uptown dwellers. Whether you're hosting a movie marathon or an overnight guest, this sofa's pillow-top cushions and reinforced memory foam bed is ideal for small space living. The tufted cushions create a lived-in aesthetic, plus it's available in several dark upholstery colors, so you won't have to worry about staining.

When you don't need to use the cupholders, you can easily flip up the middle cushion to offer more room for a third person to enjoy this sofa's plush support. The back also has a recliner position, which will make watching movies and game days even more enjoyable. We want to point out this futon does not match standard bed sizes, it's close enough to a full bed that a fitted sheet shouldn't be too big on top of it. This futon is also rather heavy—it clocks in over 90 pounds—so you'll want a second set of hands to move it around your home and to help in the assembly process.

Best Sleeper: Novogratz Vintage Tufted Velvet Split Back Futon

Buy on Walmart

The Novogratz Vintage Tufted Velvet Split Back Futon is a great option if you're cramped for space in a guest bedroom that also serves as your personal home office, or in a small apartment. Its attractive design, functionality, and well-made frame make it a couch that you can count on for several year. We especially love that this futon can become a lounger by clicking into a reclined back position between its upright and bed settings.

While its vintage-inspired design may not be for everyone, we appreciate that it's available in a range of colors. We recommend keeping food and beverages away from this couch as much as possible, as the velvet upholstery may not stand up well against staining. This couch does arrive in pieces, so you may want an additional set of hands and power tools available for the assembly process. While it's clear this couch is well-made and attractive, we most of all appreciate its covert design that doesn't fully give away its convertible abilities.

Best Storage: HOMCOM Sectional Sleeper Sofa with Reversible Storage Chaise

Buy on Walmart

A sectional sleeper sofa is always a great option for apartment dwellers or home owners looking to revamp their home theater area. Add some built-in storage to that sleeper sofa and you've got yourself a no-brainer essential. This convertible sofa from HOMCOM at Walmart can be oriented as a left or right L-shape sofa and easily transforms into a large sofa bed. Rather than fighting a spring system that could pinch little fingers or be heavy to adjust by yourself, the extra "bed" portion of this sofa is stored within the frame of sofa and easily rolls out from under the loveseat.

Looking for a place to store your seasonal throw pillows and extra blankets? Just lift up the chaise cushion to reveal a spacious storage area. Talk about a practical sofa, plus it's just as comfortable to sit on thanks to the thick foam cushions and matching throw pillows. The throw pillows also have removable covers, so you can easily toss them in the wash, if any spills occur. Keep in mind that this sofa's chaise makes it much longer (it's approximately 89 inches long) than your average sofa, so it may not fit every small apartment's layout. The additional sleeper sofa mechanisms also make this couch weigh over 100 pounds, so additional help will be necessary when bringing it into your home.

Best for Large Spaces: Lifestyle Solutions Taryn Sofa

Buy on Walmart

If you have a larger space to fill, but aren't looking to deal with the hassle of a sectional sofa, we recommend the Taryn Sofa by Lifestyle Solutions. It measures just under 79 inches long, so it'll easily fill a larger living area without overcrowding. It's upholstered with polyester fabric—making it a great choice for busy families with pets and kids—which is more resistant to staining. Foam-filled cushions also offer plenty of plush, yet supportive comfort as you lounge in front of the television.

We love this sofa's curved arm design, which gives it a modern flare with its hidden frame and flared legs. We recognize that this sofa's darker finish may not match everyone's personal color palette, but we think it's a great option for homeowners who don't want to tackle constant steam cleaning or stain removing.
