11 Cloud Couch Dupes That Deliver the Same Plush Look for Less

If you want a cloud-like couch that doesn't come in only neutral colors, Albany Park offers a variety of shades, including "rust" and "olive." The cushions are made with a soft, hypoallergenic microfiber fill, while the fabric is totally water-resistant.

Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao, who tested this sofa in the Dune colorway, says, "Unlike some Cloud couches I have sat on, which have a sink-in feeling that makes it hard for you to get up physically, I would describe the Kova as medium-firm. It's soft, but not so soft and unsupportive that you feel like your back will start to cramp after an hour. I have random sciatica flare-ups, so I was really worried the Kova might actually hurt my back if I lounged in it for more than an hour. I'm glad to say I have slept horizontally on this sofa, tucked myself into the fetal position, slouched and twisted myself into weird positions on the Kova for hours without any pain!"

Digital Designer Soumi Sarkar opted for the Movie Night sofa when she decided it was time for her living room to experience a little upgrade, and she has plenty of thoughts on the best-seller. "The sofa is really spacious and doubles as a daybed because it is so big," she says. If the size is making you nervous, know that free in-home assembly is included in the shipping, so all you have to do after purchasing is let the experts do their thing and enjoy. "The morning of, they gave me tracking of where the delivery driver was and how far they were out, so I could keep track of when they'd arrive. I'm on the third floor of a walkup building, so I'm always worried about deliveries, especially people going up two flights of stairs, but they were super easy [to work with]," she adds.

Generally speaking, the assembly is rarely a highlight of buying a new piece of furniture, but upon opening the multiple boxes of her Russet sectional, tester Janelle Askew loved it. "The instructions are explained very simply and clearly. At first, they felt almost too easy, but once you start, you quickly understand the flow and get the hang of it," she explains. "I was able to assemble everything by myself because there are really only six main steps."

Onto the comfort, though, which scores a 2/5, and napping comfort, which scores a 3.5/5. "I would describe the fabric as similar to bull denim, twill, or rough chambray. It has that structured, durable feel rather than something soft or plush," she says. "I fit very comfortably in the seat because of the wide, deep seat dimensions. However, actually sitting up on this is not so comfortable due to the lack of structure underneath. The two foam layers make it feel like you’re about to slide forward." For those who prefer a softer feel, the couch is also available in a performance chenille that’s less stiff than the fabric Askew tested.

That said, she has taken good naps on the couch. "The firmness and lack of otherwise needed cushioning actually seem to support better spinal alignment and give more restorative sleep," she adds.

If you've never had the pleasure of sitting on a sofa from Interior Define, now is your chance. We happen to love it because it is truly the most luxurious brand, but without the jaw-dropping prices often associated with this type of quality. Not only are the materials outrageously soft and durable, but the furniture itself is also completely customizable.

Take, for example, this cloud couch dupe, available in more than 200 fabrics, with two chaise-side options, widths and lengths, two seat depths, and two cushion fills. When it comes to cloud couch vibes, though, the most important factor to focus on is the cushion fill, and both options on this couch are very plush: double-down blend and down alternative. Here's the thing we'll admit: They feel pretty much the same. The only real difference is your physical reaction. If you have a down allergy, go with the alternative.

Anyone with a space big enough to house this enormous U-shape sectional—grab it before it's gone, while shipping is both fast and free. It comes in a few colors, but we are partial to the denim hue because, like jeans, it pairs well with any existing palette. Plus, you can rest assured that it's as cozy as it is beautiful, with a deep seat and three included throw pillows.

The Harmony sofa from West Elm has earned its spot on many of our "best of" couch lists for its plush cushion fill, wrapped around contract-grade, long-lasting springs. Its silhouette is one of the closest to the original cloud, and true to RH's spirit, it has down fill in its cushions and can be customized in dozens of different fabrics and colors.

Take one look at this Wayfair couch and tell me you don't want to nap in it immediately. The low-profile arms and plush throw pillows invite you to stretch out and sleep horizontally in comfort. It sits low to the ground for a cozy look, and has a deceptively large seating capacity.

For a stylish, lived-in look to your space, this linen sofa from Castlery is a great fit. You'll love lounging on the feather-filled cushions, and the extended length is perfect for entertaining or relaxing with friends. The plush seating still provides excellent support, so consider this your “couch rotting” pick that doesn’t hurt your back after a few hours.

For easy cleaning and a polished look in your living room, you can never go wrong with a slipcovered frame like Maiden Home's Dune sofa. It's available in multiple fabrics and colors, but for that true cloud couch look, we're partial to the performance linen in oyster. The slipcover is easy to keep clean, so it’s a match for messy toddler fingers or muddy puppy paws.
