When you’re shopping for furniture online, photos can be extremely helpful. Photos can show you a fabric’s texture and give you an idea of proportions, so you can decide if and how, say, a stylish sofa might fit in your space. Unfortunately, one thing photos cannot reveal is comfort. For that, you have to either try the furniture out yourself — and go around town to multiple stores — or see what reviewers have to say.

Product reviews aren’t perfect. But when you read as many of them as we do (and we do read a lot), you realize they can often tell you more about a product than you could learn just from testing it in a store. Reviews contain the kind of knowledge that only comes through living with something in your home, and that is exactly the kind of experience we want when we’re looking for the perfect sofa. Below, check out the 10 most comfortable Wayfair sofas, based on stellar reviews. Every one of these picks has been tested and approved by multiple reviewers, so they’re all worth the investment for your living room’s comfort and style.

Maybe it’s not so surprising, as we’ve all spent more time at home during the past few years, to seek out the color of sunshine for our spaces. Sofie Hepworth even planned the color scheme of her bright garden studio in Kent, United Kingdom, around a yellow sofa. “I just thought it was so joyful and fitting for the home I wanted to make you instantly smile!” she told AT. 

Hepworth’s studio and Ash Appleton’s Nairobi, Kenya, apartment both use yellow couches as building blocks in kaleidoscopic rooms filled with vibrant wall coverings, furniture, and decor. 

Alternatively, Andrea Plaid leaned into yellow in her Detroit studio, which features not only a yellow couch, but yellow window treatments, chairs, a rug, and bedding, too. “The color complements the studio’s windowed sunniness and serves as a counterpoint for cloudy days,” she said in her house tour.

And if you’re wary of going full throttle on such a bright color, consider Olga Fermin’s vibrant pop of summery sofas, which sit in an otherwise fairly neutral room in her Brookfield, Connecticut, house.

Luckily, there are plenty of yellow shades and sofa styles to play around with. Here are just a few:
