Inside: some of the sexiest furniture for your afternoon snooze.

As I write this, I am situated on a frumpy brown couch that I have so lovingly nicknamed “The Turd.” This couch was my first “big-girl purchase” after moving into my apartment a few years ago. TBH, it was the most affordable option I could find at the time. Now, it is the eye-sore of my living room. Despite all the amazing moments I’ve shared with The Turd (reality TV tell-alls, naps on naps on naps, and countless laps of Mario Kart), I think I am ready to say deuces and elevate my space with a couch that makes a statement: preferably one that doesn’t involve bowel movements. And in my search for a new place to sit my tush, I came across a style of couch that's the perfect blend of timeless style and sleek design: the curved sofa.

Let me tell you: I love this style. The arched backrest and rounded silhouette are chic yet understated, bringing a soft, sophisticated touch to any space. Don't believe me? Take a peek at some of these, below.

So, whether you are like me and desperately need a new sofa or are just here to do some window shopping, I have scoured all our fave home sites to find the crème de la crème of curved sofas and couches. Keep scrolling to see eight of the sleekest, curviest, and comfiest couches on the market.

I'm probably not the best person to say this because my go-to comfy outfit includes a pair of pajama shorts with a hole in the crotch, BUT you do not have to sacrifice style for comfort. Case in point: this stunning, incredibly cushy curved sectional. Relax and look oh so chic while doing so on this bouclé bb.

Glowing review: “We bought this couch last fall and absolutely love it. It is soft and comfortable to sit and lay on. The chaise of the couch is great for napping, lounging, and reading. The fabric is easy to vacuum (dog hair comes right off the material). After seven months of use, it still looks good and feels brand new.”

Is it weird to say a couch is sexy? Because this couch is definitely sexy. I mean, I can just picture it now: me dressed in a frilly robe lounging on this velvet bad boy with a martini in one hand and a toothpick full of olives in the other. Very sexy, indeed.

Glowing reviews: “Highly satisfied with design and quality. Provides a very luxurious touch to my home.”

“Beautiful sofa, looks great. Sofa is light pink velvet with white back, sofa seat is very firm. No assembly required. Quick delivery and timely, delivery team was awesome.”

Tax return less than you were expecting this year? Same :( Luckily, this curved lil loveseat gives high-end style for a bargain price. You and your bank account can take a much-needed sigh of relief.

Glowing review: “I love this sofa! It arrived in just a week and it was so easy to put the legs on (I did it by myself in like 10 minutes, it wasn’t too heavy to handle). It looks great with the rest of my bedroom decor and it’s more comfortable than I expected. Great loveseat for a super cheap price.”

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little leather? When it comes to furniture, there is just something about a warm brown leather that feels penthouse-level luxurious. This modern couch comes in several upholstery options, but the microfiber leather you see here has my heart.

Glowing review: “We were very happy with our purchase. It’s a little intimidating buying something without being able to see or touch it. We were so pleased when it arrived. Good quality and very comfortable. Perfect for our new home. Being able to order free fabric samples is reassuring as well.”

Sometimes less is more, and this couch is proof. Available in five chic muted tones (personally, I am a fan of the light green), this curved sofa with velvet upholstery gives minimalist design vibes while still being the statement piece of your space. And the fact that this bb requires zero assembly? Talk about a cherry on top.

Glowing review: “This sofa is absolutely stunning! I purchased this for a model unit at a very high-end property. I'm in love with it! Only complaint I would have is that because of the shape, it's a little awkward to move… LOVE, LOVE this sofa and have received A LOT of compliments so far!”

Okay, so you might not be able to stretch your legs out on this one, but if you are working with minimal square footage, this lil loveseat is totally worth checking out. The sleek design and lush fabric are guaranteed to look WORLDS better than that rickety futon you’ve had since college. And for those who have the space for a mini living room revamp, there's also a matching chair!

Glowing review: “Ordered this couch for my studio loft and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect size and the curve sections the space off perfectly…I adore this couch and I couldn't be happier. Shipping time and delivery were literally incredible.”

If your house is the go-to hangout spot, then you know just how awkward it is when all seats are claimed and you have to banish one of your friends to the floor. This massive sectional from Crate & Barrel can easily accommodate all your guests without anyone having to “squeeze on in.” Personal space, granted.

Glowing review: “Very happy with this sectional. The 4-piece gives a true semicircular shape (finishing in the nice subtle curve of the armrests on each side) which is hard to find and looks great…The stock Opus chenille fabric has a nice feel, can't comment on long-term yet but seems durable. Seating position is comfortable and supportive.”

Bouclé has had a death grip on the design world for a couple of years now (y’all remember the Marc Jacobs Teddy Tote!?). And TBH, considering just how comfy-cozy it is, I think it's safe to say it's here to stay. This bouclé sofa, with its impeccable design and spill-resistant upholstery, is sure to withstand the test of time.

Glowing review: “I have the Marlow Bouclé Curve Sofa & it’s absolutely stunning. It was delivered so quickly & easy to click each section in place. The fabric is incredible with its texture & the color is perfect! It’s a creamy off-white with grey stitching, so it isn’t too stark. Comfort level is surprisingly comfortable with the shape! The cushions have the perfect amount of soft/firmness. Soft enough to cuddle up on, firm enough to hold its shape. Incredible quality & a work of art! So happy with my sofa!”
