Best Overall

Interior Define Winslow Leather Sofa

View On Interiordefine.com

"My go-to leather sofa is the Winslow Sofa, which has the perfect blend of clean and classic details," says Ramirez. "There is also versatility with the size, cushion type, and even leg style, making it easy to customize just the right look."

This stately three-seater has a sturdy frame and contrasting wood legs with the option of a foam-down blend or down-alternative fill. Available in your choice of two lengths with extra-deep 35- or 40-inch seats, the Winslow is just as comfortable as it is visually pleasing. 

You can choose from eight neutral pigment-dyed leather upholsteries, as well as a whopping 18 different legs. There's also a 60-day return window, plus the option to add on a 2-, 3-, or 5-year protection plan.

Best Budget

For a more affordable option, go with the Park Sofa from Edloe Finch. It's got camel-colored vegan leather upholstery with a slightly distressed finish and comes with your choice of black or gold metal legs. Measuring 82 inches wide with one long seat cushion filled with resilient foam and faux feathers, this cruelty-free couch is chic, sophisticated, and totally comfy. While there are certainly cheaper sofas out there, you can't beat this quality for the price.

Best Splurge

Jayson Home Maxwell Sofa

Take a look at Jayson Home's splurge-worthy Maxwell Sofa. Inspired by the cigar leather furniture of the late 1960s, this handsome couch is perfectly worn with button tufting, antique nailhead trim, hardwood legs, and a fabulously vintage vibe. Measuring 80 inches wide with two sizable seat cushions, it's plenty large but shouldn't be hard to fit in most living rooms.

Best Sleeper

Pottery Barn Buchanan Roll Arm Leather Sleeper Sofa

View On Pottery Barn

You'll always be grateful for the option to convert your couch into a bed, which is why we're big fans of Pottery Barn's Buchanan Sleeper. It's 87 inches wide with a kiln-dried hardwood frame, solid rubberwood legs, and top grain leather upholstery in your choice of 28 colors. Aside from classic options like caramel and espresso, you can also find more unique hues like berry red and forest green.

More to the point, this sofa has a built-in Queen-size mattress made of gel-infused memory foam for maximum comfort in a pinch. Not only does it look good, but your out of town guests will find that it feels good, too.

Best Sectional

Apt 2B Jude 2pc Leather Sectional Sofa

View On Apt2b.com

There's nothing quite like lounging around on a sectional—especially the leather variety. We're loving the Jude from Apt2B, a two-piece design with a solid wood frame, full-grain upholstery, and high-density cushions. This dapper couch is supremely plush and versatile with a few subtle details that make all the difference, like knife-edge tailoring and slightly flared arms. Choose between saddle brown and graphite upholstery for a couch that you'll never get tired of.

Best Loveseat

Allform Leather Loveseat

For something a bit smaller, go with a loveseat, like this sleek modular find from Allform. Featuring a kiln-dried and laminated hardwood frame, it's 63 inches wide with generous 24-inch-deep seats. Underneath the top-grain leather upholstery is high-grade foam cushioning and a tempered steel grid system for ultimate comfort and durability. You also get to choose from three different hardwood legs, as well as two upholstery colors: whiskey and dark smoke.

Best Modular

Burrow Arch Nomad Leather Sofa

View On Burrow

To make your investment more versatile, consider a modular design, like the Arch Nomad from Burrow. This clever leather sofa measures 86 inches wide and can be expanded with other pieces from Burrow's Nomad collection, including a moveable chaise and ottoman.

Thanks to a solid birch frame, galvanized hardware, and top-grain leather upholstery, you can count on many years of use—and we'll give it extra points for the built-in USB charger.

Best Chesterfield

Anthropologie Lyre Chesterfield Two-Cushion Sofa

View On Anthropologie

According to Ramirez, the Chesterfield is the most classic style of leather couch. "The Lyre has all the classic features with a rolled back and tufting," she notes. "This style can easily blend with traditional or transitional styles for a classic look or pair with modern styles for an updated eclectic look."

This made-to-order piece is upholstered with full-grain leather (there are also other upholstery options available), and comes in three sizes with three leg and two hardware options. The customizability makes it a true heirloom piece—but take note that returning it will result in a hefty restocking fee.
