Ashely Furniture
Ashley Furniture is one of the best names in the U.S. furniture business. They have been providing quality couches and great prices for 75 years and have storefronts all across the U.S.
They also specialize in large items like oversized couches, which is really nice if you’re looking to fill a big space in your home.
Ashley has free shipping on all furniture pieces, but if you want it delivered to a specific room, they will charge a $70 delivery fee.
Additionally, if your couch comes damaged, you will need to contact Ashley’s customer service within 72 hours to get it replaced.
Some of the highest-rated couches at Ashely Furniture include the Santini Flip Flop Armless Sofa ($300), the Mesilla Flip Flop Sofa ($450), and the Baxton Studio Mid-Century Modern Sofa ($463).
Again, those prices will fluctuate depending on their sales and discounts available, but as you can see, you can definitely get a quality couch from Ashley Furniture for under $500.
American Furniture Warehouse
American Furniture Warehouse has been selling furniture in the U.S. since 1975!
I have actually purchased multiple pieces of furniture from AFW over the years, and I can tell you from personal experience that their quality is fantastic.
At the time of writing this, their cheapest couch is just $148 (the Mayfill Converta Sofa), although their more expensive sofas can cost well above $2,000.
If you decide to shop at AFW, they several sales throughout the year you should watch out for.
They have tons of styles, from traditional to modern designs, and a massive amount of stock.
But the best part about American Furniture is that they’ll deliver and assemble your furniture for a very reasonable fee. So, if you don’t own a car that can fit a couch, you don’t need to worry.
Their delivery charges vary depending on your location and the size of your order; however, you can get a delivery cost estimate online by putting an item in your shopping cart or talking to a sales associate in-store.
Walmart
Walmart’s mantra, “save money, live better,” applies to all of their products, including their sofas.
In fact, at the time of writing this, Walmart’s sofas start at $129.99.
They haveover a thousand different sofas and couches, and many of their sofas qualify for Walmart+ free shipping, which can be a big money-saver.
IKEA
IKEA offers affordable yet modern and simple furniture. And while you might associate IKEA with hours of furniture assembly, they actually sell tons of couches, sofas, and loveseats that don’t require an engineering degree to put together.
On another note, one of the most beneficial things about shopping at IKEA is that you can see how furniture would look in a room like yours.
Since they have all their furniture staged throughout their store, it’s really easy to find the right piece for your space.
Also, if you can’t find an item in-store, you can always find it online.
IKEA’s furniture model of do-it-yourself assembly allows them to pass down cost savings to you. However, you can also choose to hire someone to put it together or pay a little extra at IKEA for assembly and delivery.
IKEA sofas start at just $139, and delivery for large items starts at $49. So, if you’re looking for a place to buy a couch on a budget, IKEA should be on your list of stores to visit.
Big Lots
Big Lots is known for selling quality furniture at really affordable prices.
They have everything to spruce up your living room, from sofas to recliners and sectionals.
Big Lots sofas start at just $159, and many of them are also convertible guest beds. Plus, they constantly offer killer deals and seasonal sales that can save you upwards of 50% on your purchase.
With Big Lots, you can shop online or in person, although some of their items are in-store-only and only available for a limited time. Luckily, they have over 1,400 locations, so chances are, they probably have a store near you.
If you want the best deals at Big Lots, you can join BIG Rewards. You’ll get $10 back on every $200 you spend, an annual birthday gift, and exclusive coupons and discounts.
All in all, Big Lots is a great place to look if you want to find a quality couch at an affordable price.
Home Goods
Home goods is an in-person store rather than online. However, they have over 500 locations across the U.S., and in most cases, they offer prices far lower than other popular furniture stores.
Their discounted items will have red tags, which makes it really easy to spot a good deal.
Additionally, don’t be afraid to negotiate with a manager if you find a couch with a ding, tear, or wear. In my experience, most Home Goods stores are willing to give you a discount for items with minor cosmetic damage.
Wayfair
Wayfair has a huge selection of furniture, couches, and sofas. They carry all sorts of things you may need, and shipping is free on orders over $35 with free returns for store credit if returned within 30 days. Just make sure to read the fine print on your purchase because not every item qualifies for a free return.
Like other big retailers, Wayfair has tons of sales, discounts, and coupons you can use to your advantage.
With over 18 million items on their site, Wayfair has all sorts of options ranging from sofas for $180 to couches up to $20,000.

If you really need to find a couch for cheap, don’t just limit your search to new couches.
You can find tons of great-quality couches that are gently used on sites like Craigslist. Plus, Craigslist has an entire section of “free” items that homeowners just want someone to come and pick up.
You will need to be able to pick up and load your own couch, but if that’s not a problem, then Craigslist has tons of cheap and free couches.
If you see something you like, however, you’ll need to act quickly, as the best deals on Craigslist do not last long.
Facebook Marketplace
If you don’t mind buying a couch second-hand, then check out the options on Facebook Marketplace.
Lots of people will post items at significantly underpriced compared to retail costs. In fact, most of the time, the sellers are just in a hurry to get rid of items before a move or sale.
Plus, if you are into DIY revamping a piece into your own style, then buying second-hand is a great way to turn any piece into something you’ll love for years.
I’ve bought a few items off of Facebook Marketplace myself, and they are always really inexpensive and high-quality.
Seriously, if you’re looking for a great couch at a really low price, I highly recommend perusing Facebook Marketplace to see what’s available.
La-Z-Boy
La-Z-Boy sells a large collection of sofas, loveseats, sets, and recliners.
They have tons of colors, fabrics, and designs to suit your style, and you can even customize the fabric!
Their quality and customizability cannot be beaten; however, their prices are a bit higher than some of the other options on this list.
Their sofas start at $949, but they still cost less than many other big furniture stores.
So, if you’re willing to splurge a little more for a quality piece, then check out La-Z-Boy’s selection of sofas, sectionals, and loveseats.
Bed Bath & Beyond
Did you know couches are part of the ‘beyond’ part of Bed Bath & Beyond? I was surprised too!
But Bed Bath & Beyond has over a thousand options when it comes to couches. They even have customizable pieces for which you can choose the fabrics.
Pricing will depend on your custom design, but you can play around on their website to get an idea for cost.
Bed Bath & Beyond also offers free returns within 90 days of purchase and free shipping on most orders over $39!

Home Depot isn’t just for home improvement projects! In fact, they have a wide variety of furniture, including couches.
So, the next time you’re browsing for tools, appliances, and lumber, look around at their furniture. You might be surprised at the high-quality pieces they offer.
You can also browse their collection online. So, on the off chance you don’t want to wander through one of the greatest stores known to man (no, they didn’t pay me to say that), you can still find the couch of your dreams.
Shipping from Home Depot varies by product, but you can have the furniture delivered to your home for a small price or local Home Depot for free.
Oh, and in most cases, if you purchase something from Home Depot and decide it doesn’t fit your space, you can return it for free within 30 days.
