This post is about the comfiest couch that I’m completely obsessed with in my living room.
Is it possible that I accidentally bought one of the comfiest couches in the world? 😂
If you’re looking for a comfy couch upgrade, you’ve got to check this one out. While I have the bigger L-shape sectional, there’s a secret smaller sofa version with another name that is the exact same thing (stay tuned so I can name-drop)!
The first thing my friends and family do as soon as they enter my home is go and sit on the couch. I wish I was making this up lol.
Usually followed by “Ugh, I LOVE your couch”, or “I seriously could sleep on this thing”. And trust me, a lot of our friends actually opt for the couch as opposed to one of my two guest rooms because it’s THAT comfortable.
I will purchase this couch again and again – one day once it has had one too many movie nights, you better believe I am turning around to buy the same exact couch. It’s that good!
The Comfiest Couch in the World
So you might be wondering, how do you “accidentally” buy a couch? Well, maybe it’s better to call it pure luck than anything that I happened to buy the most comfortable couch.
In the midst of 2020, when stores weren’t open and I couldn’t physically go sit on a couch – of course, this was when my husband and I decided to start looking for a couch lol.
We did SOO much research since we’d be spending money on a couch we’ve never sat on. BUT, we finally found “the one.”
Btw, if you ordered ANY piece of furniture during this time period, you wouldn’t be surprised to know that this thing took 7 months to get to us!
Which in other words was 7 months’ worth of me wondering if I had made an expensive mistake or not. 😅
Rawcliffe 3-Piece Sectional by Ashley Furniture
Picture this.
Delivery day was here and my excitement was at an all-time high.
As I tore through the wrapping just to get my first feel of the new couch, the first thought that popped into my mind was “I’ve never felt a couch like this before.” In the best way possible.
My husband and I spent the next hour unboxing, unwrapping, and assembling the couch. Once completely put together, we were ready to take a seat. We jokingly counted down as we went to sit on the couch.
We wanted to see each other’s long-awaited reaction to the couch we blindly purchased 7 months ago.
“3…2…1…”
At the same time, we both said “OH MY GOSH – this is the COMFIEST couch I’ve EVER sat on.” 🤣
And you might be thinking, “Is it actually?” And I’m here to tell you, it actually is!
The fabric feels like a soft microfiber – which neither of us had ever felt on a couch before. This makes the Rawcliffe soo soft to the touch, and incredibly unique.
As for the cushions, they allow your body to perfectly sink in. The only con to this is that you will be so comfortable that you won’t want to get up!
It’s the definition of cloud-like comfort.
You should definitely go with the matching oversized ottoman, you will not regret it!! When you push the ottoman into the corner of the couch, it literally makes a king-sized bed. We couldn’t believe it at first but now we love it!
The “king-sized bed” is my seating configuration 90% of the time.
The large size of the ottoman makes it SO easy to style. I recommend an ottoman tray with your favorite decor. This will make the comfiest couch in the world the cutest couch in the world. 😊

Honestly, I have slept on this couch several times and it is the most comfortable couch to sleep on. Whether it’s just a quick nap, or for the night, I thoroughly enjoy sleeping on this couch!
The Pros and Cons of the Rawcliffe 3-Piece Sectional
So is the Rawcliffe 3-Piece Sectional the couch for you? I’ve had this couch for a few years at this point, so I have some good insight on what to expect years down the road.
I personally think if you are in the market for a large, comfy sectional, it would be hard to find many that rival this one.
I’ve sat on a lot of different couches and there’s not one that feels quite like home like this one does.
And if you’re wondering, yes, this is the most comfortable couch for watching TV and for all of those movie nights!
Pros of the Rawcliffe
- The L-shape sectional is made of soft microfiber that is unlike any other couch you’ve probably sat on – one of the reasons this is the comfiest couch.
- It has 45” ultra-deep cushions that allow you to really sink into it, making it a deep comfy couch. If you’re taller, like my husband who is 6’1″, the deep cushions will make your seating experience WAY better. IYKYK.
- The seat cushions and back cushions are very comfortable.
- It’s extremely easy to clean. I have spilled so many things on this couch, including an entire cup of coffee. 😱 But every time all it takes is soap and water on a paper towel, and it’s gone!
- This couch is large enough to fit your entire family – and some! Seriously this thing is BIG – even though we measured it a hundred times prior to getting it, I was still shocked at the sheer size of this thing. And if you have an even bigger space, they have a 4-piece sectional!
- It comes with all the pillows you see in the product picture! I have gotten new pillows over the years just from a styling perspective, but this is super nice to start you off especially if you don’t have a lot of pillows at first to fill such a large couch.
- The color of the Rawcliffe is greige (grey and beige) – although Ashley labels it as Parchment. It has almost an extremely faint brushstroke look throughout, with warm undertones. In darker settings, the couch can take on a creamy grey, while during the day in a well-lit setting, the couch will appear light and beige. If you want a white/creamy couch but are worried about your kids, this couch is an excellent option because the pattern and color are a little more forgiving than a traditional white couch.
- This is a beautiful, modern-looking couch that goes great in almost any space!
Cons of the Rawcliffe
- If you need a firm couch, this one is NOT for you. It has a very plushy feel to it, and while it offers enough support for a majority of people, this is not a firm couch by any means.
- After several years, I’ve noticed there tends to be a creaking sound if we sit in just the right spot. Since I’m not moving a whole lot once I’m on the couch, I don’t really notice it. I usually only hear this when I’m getting up or sitting down in that exact spot. Doesn’t bother me though!
- The back cushions are relatively easy to shape, but the seat cushions, even with regularly flipping and changing them around, have just a slight bit more give to them than when we first bought the couch. This is expected when a couch gets up there in age – but for me, once this one is completely worn in, I’m going to buy the exact same couch again! 🤣
Not a real con, or maybe it is lol, but your family will fight over who gets the corner. It is hands down the best seat on the most comfortable couch. Who wouldn’t want that spot??
The Alesandra – The Smaller Sofa Version of the Rawcliffe
If your space doesn’t quite accommodate the demanding size of the Rawcliffe – that’s okay because Ashley Furniture sells a smaller version with a different name.
How do I know this is the same exact couch just in sofa form? Because I reached out to Ashley Furniture after randomly coming across it one day. It looks exactly the same in all of the pictures, so I had to know, just in case I needed to suggest it to anyone else one day. 😉
Alesandra Sofa by Ashley Furniture
Let me start by saying that the Alesandra collection has a sofa, a loveseat, an oversized chair, and an ottoman – so regardless of your living room layout, there’s truly a piece of furniture for everyone.
And if you have the space for it, you can have top-notch comfort scattered throughout your entire room with every piece of furniture.
As I mentioned previously, I personally reached out to Ashley Furniture to draw the strikingly similar comparison between the Alesandra sofa and the Rawcliffe sectional.
The rep told me these are the exact same thing – the only difference is the size. They had to shrink down the Rawcliffe into a smaller version because SO many people with smaller spaces were obsessing over it – and out popped the Alesandra.
The Rawcliffe and the Alesandra both have the same soft microfiber touch that brings an unbelievable amount of softness to both couches. They have the same modern look and shape to fit perfectly into your living room.
If you loved what you saw with the Rawcliffe, then you’re looking at a winner with this sofa!
This post was about the comfiest couch that my guests just can’t get enough of!
If you’re looking for a deep comfy couch, look no further than the Rawcliffe 3-Piece Sectional. And when your space calls for something a little bit smaller, opt for the Alesandra Sofa (and the other pieces in that collection).
When your friends and family come over, make sure you have the comfiest couch. Just beware, it might just be all that they ever talk about! 😏
