Hi, it's Lindsay Diane from diancor.com.
0:07
In this video, we're going to talk all
0:08
about popular sofa styles that you can
0:11
shop on Amazon. The average person
0:14
spends between $700 and $1,200 on a
0:17
sofa, making it one of the biggest
0:19
investments in a living room. Luckily,
0:22
Amazon is fast becoming the spot to find
0:25
affordable, great quality furniture. and
0:29
sofas are no exception. In this video,
0:32
we'll cover five popular sofa styles
0:35
that are available on Amazon right now.
0:38
We'll go through their features and who
0:40
they're best suited for. And everything
0:42
in this list is under $800 with most of
0:46
the items coming in under $500. Let's
0:49
get started with the cloud sofa. Cloud
0:52
sofas are one of the most popular styles
0:55
today and for good reason. They are
0:58
known for their deep seats, their
1:00
oversized cushions, and a sink in sort
1:04
of comfort that makes you feel like
1:06
you're sitting on a cloud. They often
1:09
feature downfilled or plush cushions.
1:14
They are best for families who want a
1:16
cozy, casual space or movie lovers who
1:19
like to sit on the sofa for long like
1:23
Netflix binges or movie nights at home.
1:26
or anyone who wants to prioritize their
1:29
comfort above all else. Now, while many
1:32
manufacturers may advertise their sofa
1:36
as a cloud sofa, the original cloud
1:39
sofas were a sort of pillow top type
1:44
structure. So, if you remember pillow
1:46
top mattresses before we all sort of
1:48
moved to memory foam, the pillow top
1:51
mattresses were an additional layer on
1:53
top of our standard mattress that was
1:56
pillowy soft. This is what the cloud
1:59
sofas look like. You have your regular
2:02
sort of sofa frame and then on top of it
2:05
you can visually see the topper, the
2:07
pillowy soft topper or in this case this
2:10
is going to be like a down fil or down
2:13
alternative topper. You can find cloud
2:15
sofas in traditional sofa styles or you
2:20
can also find them in modular styles
2:22
that are able to be moved around and
2:24
reconfigured. That is the most popular
2:27
option available on Amazon today.
2:30
modular sofas. Now, the modular sofa is
2:34
all about flexibility. Each section or
2:37
module can be rearranged to create a
2:41
different seating configuration. This
2:43
makes them perfect for people with open
2:46
floor plans, growing families, or people
2:49
who move often. This means that you can
2:53
keep your sofa with you. You can add
2:55
pieces. You can rearrange pieces to
2:57
configure and fit into a different
3:00
space. Modular sofas are all about
3:03
flexibility. Each section or module can
3:06
be rearranged to create different
3:08
seating configurations.
3:10
This makes them perfect for open floor
3:12
plans, growing families, and for people
3:15
who move often. So, when it comes to a
3:19
piece of furniture that you want to
3:21
invest in, a modular sofa is a great way
3:24
to go because it will carry you through
3:27
not only multiple stages of life, but
3:30
possibly multiple locations where you
3:32
may have a living room that's a
3:34
different size each place you move. When
3:37
you have a modular sofa, you can
3:39
reconfigure that to fit your space
3:43
specifically. And I think that is the
3:45
coolest part about it. Many modular
3:47
sofas on Amazon have removable covers,
3:50
so it makes them really easy to clean,
3:53
and some even double as like storage
3:55
ottomans or have at least portions of it
3:57
that can double as storage ottomans,
3:59
which makes it really, really good for
4:02
families. Overall, these are best for
4:05
people who want a sofa that will adapt
4:07
to their lifestyle, who are renters and
4:10
may move frequently, or who are families
4:13
who like to reconfigure their space as
4:16
their family grows and gets older.
4:18
Usually, when you're shopping for
4:19
modular sofas on Amazon, they are going
4:22
to come with a set number of pieces, and
4:26
then you can always add on if you wanted
4:28
to. Usually you're going to have at
4:31
least two pieces with sort of um arms
4:34
that are sort of anchored or cornered
4:36
pieces. And then you're going to have a
4:38
series of pieces that can, you know, go
4:40
in the middle or they can be used to
4:43
sort of turn a corner or they can be
4:44
used as an ottoman. So that you can
4:46
configure your sofa either as one long
4:49
sofa as a sofa like an an L-shaped with
4:53
a chase. You can configure it as two
4:56
large reclining sort of chairs. It's
4:59
it's a really cool feature and they're
5:03
easy to kind of move around. They
5:05
usually clip together so that they stay
5:07
sturdy and you don't have gaps that
5:08
you're falling through um and they're,
5:11
you know, they're not sliding around out
5:12
from under you. So, if you have a space
5:16
where you know you want to be able to
5:18
reconfigure it from time to time for
5:21
different occasions, a modular sofa may
5:23
be perfect for you. Next up are futons.
5:26
Now, futons are very different than they
5:29
were 15 years ago. They are no longer
5:33
like a metal frame that sort of lays
5:36
back and has a mattress on top of it. um
5:40
so that you have this big sort of crease
5:42
in your mattress when you lay it down as
5:44
a bed. They are totally different now.
5:47
They are more akin to the modern sleeper
5:49
sofas that we talked about in the space
5:52
saving video. If you haven't seen that,
5:55
I will link it in the description box
5:57
below. I have a video that's all about
5:59
space saving furniture. And the futon
6:04
definitely fits that category. It now
6:08
lays down sort of in segments. So, no
6:11
longer do you have to have like a
6:12
separate futon mattress that goes on top
6:15
of your frame. Instead, the entire sort
6:18
of sofa is the futon and the uh the
6:23
cushions are divided up into sections so
6:25
that they can lay down and they're meant
6:27
to sort of cluster together to either
6:29
make a bed or you can make you can pull
6:32
them apart and they're two armless sort
6:34
of chairs. You can, you know, just raise
6:38
the top end and have it be like a chase
6:41
or a recliner or you can have it be a
6:43
sofa. They are multi-functional pieces
6:47
nowadays. They're more they're taking on
6:49
more of a sort of modular configuration
6:53
just like the modular sofas except
6:55
they're smaller. So, if you are looking
6:57
for something uh for a small apartment
7:00
or a small room where you know that you
7:03
don't have a place for guests but would
7:06
like to have the option to have someone
7:07
sleep over, think about getting a modern
7:10
futon sofa so that you can have it as a
7:14
sofa by day. You could use it as a chase
7:16
lounger if you wanted to and then you
7:18
can lay it all the way down as a bed.
7:20
You can, you know, just configure it
7:22
multiple ways. These are great for dorm
7:25
rooms, guest rooms, small apartments.
7:28
Number four are boneless sofas. These
7:32
are extremely popular right now.
7:35
Essentially, a boneless sofa is just a
7:38
sofa without a frame to it. So, with
7:43
usually, you would have your cushions on
7:45
top of an upholstered wood frame. That's
7:50
usually how uh sofas are built. Chairs
7:52
are built the same way. But the boneless
7:55
sofas are basically just foam. They are
7:59
like a compacted memory foam, like high
8:03
density foam that is supposed to give
8:05
you all of the support that you need,
8:07
but it's also makes it easy for someone
8:11
to have it shipped to them. It's sort of
8:13
they suck the air out, they vacuum seal
8:15
it, they roll it up, and it kind of
8:17
comes to you just like you can get
8:18
memory foam mattresses this way. Now,
8:20
too, now some boneless sofas do come
8:24
with sort of like an exoskeleton frame
8:27
to help support them, while others come
8:30
with nothing at all, and they're a high
8:32
enough density that they don't need any
8:34
support at all. Those are the ones that
8:36
I would go for over the other, unless
8:39
you just like the aesthetic of it. I
8:42
think I would go for one that truly does
8:44
not have a frame that is truly boneless.
8:47
The other ones almost sort of have the
8:48
bones on the outside. I don't know how
8:51
how else to really explain it, but it's
8:53
essentially has the framing on the
8:55
outside to hold that sofa in. In theory,
8:59
if it were constructed right, you
9:01
shouldn't need it, but they it is a
9:03
style. So, if you like it aesthetically,
9:06
then I would go for it. But boneless
9:08
sofas are really great. They're
9:10
especially popular for someone who likes
9:13
just like a cozy lounge space. They're
9:17
good for families. They are lightweight.
9:20
They're flexible. They're easy to move.
9:23
Um, some boneless sofas also come with
9:25
sort of modular pieces that you can move
9:27
around, at least like sort of an ottoman
9:30
that you can move either to the left or
9:31
to the right. Some also have removable
9:34
covers that you can wash, which makes
9:36
them really convenient, especially if
9:39
you have kids. So, think about a
9:41
boneless sofa or even a boneless modular
9:45
sofa. If you want something that is
9:48
going to be easy to sort of slide
9:50
around, something that is low fuss and
9:54
really budget friendly, consider getting
9:56
a boneless sofa. And last but not least
9:59
are the pull out sleeper sofas. Now
10:02
these again are not the old school
10:05
sleeper sofas where you were pulling a
10:07
frame out in a mattress that has been
10:09
folded underneath the sofa. These are
10:13
sofas that basically are divided up into
10:16
segments. The cushions are divided into
10:18
segments and they can sort of slide
10:20
under one another. So when you pull them
10:23
out they are not folded or rolled up
10:26
onto themselves. They are just little
10:28
sort of pop out segments that make it
10:31
really easy to transform your sofa or
10:34
your couch into a bed. Most of them pull
10:38
out into a full-size bed that there are
10:40
some that will pull out into a queen-siz
10:42
bed. They also often have features like
10:46
cup holders or little side pockets. Some
10:49
have little charging stations built into
10:52
them. The sleeper sofas are the most
10:55
flexible sofa option available right
10:58
now. Not only do you have the bed
11:02
functionality, but you usually have all
11:05
of these little add-ons that sometimes
11:07
the other models or sofa styles don't
11:10
have. And I think that's because they're
11:12
really geared towards small spaces. And
11:15
for people that are looking for a
11:16
multifunctional piece, they're sort of
11:19
saying, "Okay, well, we know that you
11:21
want a bed and a sofa, so let's go ahead
11:23
and give you some other features, too."
11:25
And so, it seems like with the sleeper
11:27
sofas, they kind of go the extra mile
11:29
and add in some additional features that
11:32
you're probably not going to get with
11:33
the cloud sofa or the boneless sofa.
11:36
Amazon carries a wide variety of sleeper
11:38
sofas from compact little love seats
11:42
that pull out to like a twin and all the
11:46
way up to larger sectional sofas that
11:49
pull out to a queensiz bed. These again
11:52
are great for people who want to host
11:55
overnight guests, who need multi-purpose
11:59
rooms or have apartments where your
12:01
space is limited and you may be working
12:03
with like a studio apartment and instead
12:06
of a futon, you want something a little
12:08
bit larger, a pullout sofa would be a
12:11
great option. So, those are the five
12:13
popular sofa styles that you can find on
12:15
Amazon right now. the cloud sofa, the
12:18
modular sofa, the futon, the boneless
12:22
sofa, and the sleeper sofa. Links to all
