2. Best Mid-Century Style Loveseats
It's right there in the name — the best loveseats are perfect for love, both the familial and platonic kind. Curl up next to your partner or spouse for a comfortable movie night, or lounge with your feet draped over your best friend's lap. If you're lucky, you get the whole thing to yourself; perfect for a solo date with a book.
Below, you'll find a carefully curated list of our favorite loveseats on the market right now. The following two-seaters are some of the best sofas out there — chic, well-priced, and, above all, ideal for a duo, at least as far as we can tell while shopping online. As usual, we included a few different subcategories to satisfy every kind of buyer — you're guaranteed to find something you love.
Best Buttoned Loveseats
Price: $1,448
Material: Wood frame, linen or velvet upholstery
With its timber frame, walnut feet and smoke linen upholstery, this petite chesterfield would make a stylish statement in a living room or bedroom. At 60" wide it's a generous seat for two, which puts it up there with some of the best couches for small spaces.
You can also customize your own loveseat if you'd prefer — Anthropologie offers a variety of additional fabric types and colors. Just be sure to leave enough time for delivery; it will be made to order.
Price: $363.99
Material: Wooden frame, polyester upholstery
This green loveseat delivers, especially for the price. The reviews are glowing; the color is soft and relaxing; and the small frame makes it a great compact choice for an apartment or small office. What's more, assembly is said to be a breeze — allegedly 20 minutes or less.
Price: $259.99
Was: $429.99
Material: Metal frame, polyester upholstery
This well-priced loveseat offers plenty of bang for your buck. One of the best grey sofas, its timber frame, elegant upholstery and retro style belies its bargain price tag. And at 51.5" wide, it's a generous space to hunker down.
Best Mid-Century-Style Loveseats
Price: $699
Material: Wooden legs, boucle upholstery
Even as it nails two interior trends in one piece — with its slender mid-century silhouette and soft boucle upholstery — the Gabriola also manages to be sleek and snuggly. It looks solid and well-reviewed enough to compete with the best white boucle sofas, and at 64" wide, its generously proportioned, too.
Price: $1199
Material: Wooden frame, ivory boucle upholstery
Its splayed frame and tapered wooden legs scream 'MCM' as it were, but the real showstopping detail is the intentionally missing arm on the right-hand side. We're left with something much more conversational, much more open, as a result.
Price: $183.99
Was: $202.99
Material: Wood frame, corduroy upholstery
Available in five sumptuous corduroy colors — green, dark grey, light grey, beige or ginger — this loveseat has a luxe feel that perfectly complements its simple shape. Filled with foam and coil springs for cushioned support during movie nights, this really does feel like one of the best bargain loveseats money can buy.
Best Cocktail-Style Loveseats
Price: $550
Material: Plywood frame, velvet upholstery
Designed by Studio McGee, this shapely loveseat is available in light brown or olive velvet upholstery. At just shy of 50" wide, it's a compact and glamorous way to furnish a corner — positive reviews in mind, we might even call it one of the best velvet sofas on the market.
Price: $2999
Material: Wooden frame, soft cotton blend upholstery
Although more expensive than others on this list, the Houston loveseat is unique enough to warrant the high price tag. It's cleverly-designed frame encourages conversation on either side of a room, while also enabling the loveseat's occupants to chat all the while. Just one of you? That's fine, too — the couch's showstopping construction means there is enough room for a couple of friends, or for one person to stretch out and lie back.
Price: $307.05
Material: Pine wood frame, velvet upholstery
This is a shade that's popular among the best green sofas — this rich, hunter-y color. So beautiful and versatile, not to mention glamourous ... which ties perfectly into its name. We think this two-seater would look particularly beautiful offset against white walls and timber floors.
Best Cozy Loveseats
Price: $7,995
Material: Foam frame, velvet upholstery
Designed by Michel Ducaroy for Lignet Roset back in 1973, this classic piece is available in a 51.5" width, right between the size of a sofa and an armchair. Perfect for lovebirds or solo loungers, it's an iconic design that will bring style and comfort to your space while telegraphing your love for interiors to all who visit.
Price: $798
Material: Faux fur upholstery
If coziness is what you're after, does it get more cozy than faux fur? Wrap yourself in what looks to be a cloud-like sofa, wide enough for two sitting upright, but probably best enjoyed by one. Perfect for cabins and colder climates, although it would also look quite chic juxtaposed against wooden pieces.
Price: $2,399
Material: Polyester upholstery
This loveseat has movie night written all over it. Who wouldn't want to hunker down in this with a big bowl of popcorn? It's actually deeper than it is wide at W62"xD68"xH32", so there's plenty of space for extra cushions, too. Fabulous for laying, splaying, and lounging, and available in three other colors.
What size is a loveseat compared to a sofa?
Livingetc knows design. We spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, bringing only our edit of the very best to you. Find out more about how we review.
A loveseat is larger than an armchair yet smaller than a two-seater sofa. However, they can generally seat two people close together, hence the name loveseat – or cuddle couch.
'Sofas are wider than loveseats,' says Paula Cossarini, Product Design Manager at Article. 'Loveseats typically range from approximately 55” - 75” in width, and are great for two people comfortably. Sofas can sit three or more and a pet or two.'
