12 Best Pit Sofas That'll Level Up Your Movie Nights

• Plush vegan fill cushions

• The modular pieces might slide apart, depending on your floors

When combining looks, feel, and price, Albany Park always came out on top of my list. The pit sofa category isn't short on comfort, but the Kova's plush cushions and moveable pillows stood above everything else. You can choose from a huge variety of upholsteries and colors, and the Kova Pit sofa also has anti-slip cushions, so everything stays exactly where it needs to be.

• One of the most comfortable couches on this list
• Nice performance fabrics in neutral tones
• Pillows are plush, seats are firm

If you want top-of-the-line comfort, durability, and looks, the Arhaus Coburn is where that all comes together. It's big, and the moveable cushions, ottoman, and easygoing colors make it the perfect casual couch. The seats are dense and hold their shape well. The upholstery options are all easy to keep clean. And, Arhaus has some of the best warranty and protection plans out there.

• Great sized sofa
• Modular, so you can change it around
• Incredibly comfortable

• Shape is a bit simple, if you want something more expressive
• Back rests are a bit low

Sometimes the look and shape of a sofa is what draws you to it, like the Mario Bellini sofa on this list. Sometimes, though, the shape is kept as simple as possible, and it's the fabric that takes the starring role. The Remi from West Elm is one such case. With 107 upholsteries available, this is the pit sectional for fabric freaks. You've got everything from chunky boucle to velvet that pops with color. Beyond that, it's a simple shape, so it can work with anyone's tastes.

• Great price
• Easy shipping, easy assembly
• Hidden ottoman storage

• Looks are fine, but not especially noteworthy

Buying furniture on Amazon sounds sketchy, but these days, it's one of the best places to do your home shopping, honestly. This pit sofa is affordable and easy to put together. Plus, there's some hidden storage in the ottomans. Sure, the looks aren't the most outstanding, but for price, convenience, and comfort, you can't beat this.

• Comfortable
• Simple look will fit any design ethos
• Plush overstuffed pillows

• Not a ton of swatch options

Despite doing most of its early—and some current—marketing on podcasts, Burrow makes incredible sofas. So incredible, that it's popped up in the Esquire Home Awards. Not bad for the podcast couches. And wouldn't you know it, the brand make an incredible pit sofa as well. We're naming it the Most Comfortable option, not just because it's physically comfortable, but it's well within the comfort zone of most people's home design. The shape is contemporary—handsome but not flashy, and the colors are muted. Though we really love the Moss Green that's pictured.

• The most comfortable sofa of all time
• Super plush pillows
• Easy to clean fabrics

• High price tag

If that Burrow couch only looks mildly comfortable, make the jump to Lovesac. The brands are in the same couch in a box category, but Lovesac is the market's turbo comfort option. This pit sofa is huge, plush, and made for rainy days with movie marathons. For something that's not exactly designer, the price tag might seem offensive ($17,000 for some leather options!) but trust me its not. I have never laid on a sofa that's more comfortable than this in my entire life.

• Not that expensive, given the significance
• Modular, can work with a number of seating arrangements
• Great look, great comfort

• A bit Out There for some tastes

This is a top of the line luxury sofa, a piece of art history. I've written about it a bunch in our home section, but for a refresher: Mario Bellini has MoMA retrospectives, and this is his most famous piece of furniture. This is one of the most iconic designs to come out of a Postwar Italy that was flooded with iconic design.

Not only is the Bellini sofa visually striking, it's insanely comfortable, and with a modular setup, it's easy to turn into a pit sofa. For example, if you live in a city apartment, I suggest you buy this two-seater version. (Go for the L-shaped sectional, if you have space.) Then, buy two extra ottomans in the same upholstery. All told, you'll pay about $5,000—pricey, but reasonable within the category—and have a truly iconic piece of furniture.

• Best price and value we've found
• Polyester fabric cleans easily

• The poly fabric isn't the most luxurious, believe it or not
