The 10 Best Cloud Couch Dupes to Elevate Your Lazy Sundays

All the comfort without the cost.

They say that the kitchen is the heart of a home, but I disagree. If you ask me, the couch is where the soul truly lies—sometimes quite literally. A good couch can elevate an otherwise subpar living space just as easily as an uncomfortable one can mar a sitting room with the most beautiful home décor. Moral of the story: You have to invest in a good couch.

No couch has sparked so much publicity and popularity quite like RH’s Cloud couch. It’s known for its spacious size, deep cushions, and lived-in look. Oh, and the price. The baseline starts around $5,000, but once you select your size, configuration, and fabric choice, your cloud could easily cost $14,000 or more. Chump change.

If you, for some unfathomable reason, don’t want to spend quite so much, I’ve done some research on the 10 best cloud couch dupes that offer the same appeal at more digestible price. And to let you in on a little secret, I think some of them are even better than the original. The couches below come vetted by me, as well as the testing experts at Good Housekeeping. Happy lounging!

Editor’s note: Because many of these sofas are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, the dimensions listed are for the standard three-seat offering, unless otherwise noted.

Customer review: “I have had this sofa for a few months now and I’m so happy with it. It is comfortable and has such a beautiful look. It is a complete down fill which is a more casual look which is what I was looking for, but I saw other reviews that were not happy with the seat cushion, and I think if you’re looking for something with more firmness 100% down is not the way to go. But I wanted 100 percent down and it is amazing in my opinion.”

Pros
  • Under $1,200
  • Reversible cushions
  • Washable cover
Cons
  • Assembly required
  • Some customers have complaints about the fabric quality

Did you know you should flip your cushions? It’s akin to rotating or flipping your mattress. My mother used to despise that our couch cushions were one-sided. The underside had seams and random stitching that made them un-flippable. You won’t have that problem with this couch from Wayfair.

Colors: 47 options

Dimensions: Length: 90 inches; depth: 41inches

Customer review: “Great quality for the price. Deep cushions. Comes with really nice quality big pillows. This photo does not do it justice...Overall, great purchase.”
