Finding a quality couch at an affordable price isn't easy — you have to consider upholstery material, cushion fill and frame construction to decide if the sofa is best for your space and worth the cost.

To compile this list of the best couches at Walmart, we evaluated the materials and features of each item. Then, we scoured reviews to find picks that delivered on comfort, style, ease of assembly and more.
