When buying furniture on Amazon, double check to make sure it’s available via Amazon Prime, as this is one category where you can’t take Prime shipping or returns for granted. We also recommend sticking with brands and sellers that have a solid reputation for quality. That’s why you’ll see some of the same brands show up repeatedly in GQ Amazon furniture guides—like Casper, Modway, Rivet, Novogratz, and Umbra. For more flex-worthy furniture in Primeland, you can also browse our guides to the best bed frames on Amazon, the best office chairs on Amazon, and some picture-perfect Amazon home decor.
The Best Couches on Amazon
Amazon is actually a surprisingly good destination for stylish couches, if you know where to look. Namely, classic midcentury-style sofas, contemporary designs, and suave sectionals. Many of the pieces we found are available in multiple colors, with matching ottomans and loveseats, so you can find just the right swatch to suit your humble abode.
Modway
Engage Midcentury Upholstered Sofa
Tailored lines, cherry-stained wood legs, and over a dozen fabric colorways to choose from.
Jennifer Taylor Home
Alpine 90.5″ White Boucle Round Arm Sofa
With its soft curves and creamy upholstery, this couch looks like a cloud touched down in your living room.
Acanva
Minimalist Curved Back Velvet Sofa
It really draws you in like a warm hug, doesn’t it?
Christopher Knight Home
Josephine Mid-Century Modern Petite Fabric Sofa
Who says a stylish couch has to cost a week’s pay?
The Best Beds & Bed Frames
We found a bed frame for every bedroom, from simple metal frames that leave plenty of room for storage to statement-making headboards. You can also find excellent bedding on the ‘Zon, including sheets from direct-to-consumer darlings like Brooklinen. While you’re filling up your Amazon cart, check out some cozy comforters and bed sheets, too.
Olee Sleep
14-Inch Heavy-Duty Steel Bed Frame
When you’ve already spent a small fortune on a fancy mattress, you need a simple, but sturdy metal bed frame that will quietly support your splurge.
Modway
Margo Queen Wood Platform Bed Frame
A sturdy platform finished off with midcentury style legs (all for just a hair over $200).
Casper
The Foundation from Casper replaces a traditional box spring and can be used with all sorts of bed frames, or laid right on the cold hard ground (we won’t judge).
DG Casa
Rhodes Queen Bed Frame with Extended Headboard
This bed combines a few trends into one: a platform bed frame, tufted velvet upholstery, and a distinctive headboard. It looks like the kind of bed you’d find in an overpriced botique hotel.
The Best Mattresses
A mattress is one of the most important pieces of furniture you’ll ever buy, so choose wisely. These all came recommended by our testers, and for a more complete picture of all the finest sleep products from Prime-land, you can also check out the full GQ Recommends guide to the best mattresses on Amazon.
DreamCloud
Premier Luxury 14-Inch Hybrid Mattress
Hybrid mattresses give you comfort and support, and Dreamcloud makes one of the best we’ve ever slept on.
Casper
Wave Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress
Sleep on Casper’s most advanced mattress and save the regular Casper mattresses for the guest bedroom.
Nectar
Want the comfort of memory foam but with the bounce you need to make full use of your bed? Nectar’s hybrid has it all, and without a price that will keep you up at night.
Leesa
Original Hybrid 11-Inch Mattress
Most bed-in-a-box and hybrid mattresses are soft (trust us, medium-soft still means soft), but Leesa makes a firmer hybrid that doesn’t feel like a giant marshmallow.
The Best Lighting on Amazon
From portable lanterns with flair to gorgeous overhead fixtures to light up your living room, you can find lighting solutions for every corner of your home at Amazon. We’ve gathered some of our favorites here.
Loftie
There are about a gajillion lamps for sale on Amazon, but few are actually stylish enough for GQ readers. Not only does this chic little light look good, but it’s also smart enough to double as a sunrise alarm clock.
Menu
A portable lamp with a clever design that doesn’t look absolutely atrocious? Yes, please.
KCO
Need a light fixture that’s worthy of your meticulously designed home? The Sputnik has a constellation of globes to illuminate your beautiful abode.
Major-Q
Arc lamps let there be light exactly where it’s needed most.
The Best Storage Finds on Amazon
No, we’re not talking about plastic bins or under-bed storage containers. We’re talking hip bar carts, Japanese coat racks, and sexy acrylic nightstands.
Solaround
Acrylic Nightstand Side Table
This statement table speaks for itself.
Umbra
Bellwood Bar & Storage Cart
Umbra makes some of the best affordable storage and home decor items available via Amazon Prime. Take this bar cart that has the looks of an Aalto design piece, without the steep price point.
Yamazaki Home
Home Tower Freestanding Coat Hanger
You’ll want to leave a coat hanging on this rack so your guests know what to do.
Walker Edison
Kamron Contemporary TV Stand
From the chubby little legs to the fluted wings, they’ll never guess where you got this guy.
The Best Office Furniture on Amazon
In the work-from-home era, a lap desk just won’t do. Build a home office that will make the right impression on Zoom calls.
Flexispot
EN1 Electric Standing Desk
Flexispot’s electric desks have a minimalist appeal, but their real charm lies in their functionality. So, get off your ass and stretch those legs.
Poppin
Stow 3-Drawer File Cabinet
Poppin’s office cabinet comes in all white, but we recommend adding a pop of color to liven up your space. Because who says your home office can’t be
Instagrammable, too?
Laura Davidson Furniture
SOHO II Padded Management Office Chair
Ergonomic office chairs have obvious benefits (it’s in the name), but sometimes you want an office chair that’s not entirely drab.
Branch
To make a statement and strike a power pose—all without getting up from your desk—get the Verge chair in all black or all white.
The Best Amazon Home Decor
You can find a lot of tasteful home decor on Amazon, and at Amazon prices, no less. But for every groovy vase you find, there are probably about a thousand ugly versions to ignore. We put in the work to find some true gems for your home decor moodboard.
Bloomingville
Sure, “milky yellow” may not sound like the most attractive color, but don’t hold that against this attractive glass vase.
Pendleton
Crater Lake National Park Throw Blanket
One day, Pendleton may go out of fashion, but today is not that day.
Alessi
This abstract spoon holder looks like a work of art, but it’s not priced like one, thankfully.
Areaware
A candle that looks so good you’ll be afraid to light it.
