The TikTok Couch Is Selling Out Everywhere, But Wayfair Has So Many Dupes Discounted for Two Days Only
Shopping for a great couch is honestly one of the most taxing things we’ve tried to do during quarantine. You can only read so many best-of lists looking for the perfect sectional or sleeper sofa before your brain starts to feel like it’s melting. We think videos and reviews from real people, friends, and families are the best ways to scout out an investment like a new couch, and thanks to seeing it in tons of videos on TikTok, we’re now obsessed with getting our hands on a Caruso sleeper sofa sectional. It’s roomy, comfy, has storage, and pulls out into a sleeper, but it’s already sold out almost everywhere.
Thankfully, there are some pretty convincing look-alikes out there—particularly on Wayfair, which just happens to be having its massive 2-day Way Day sale right now (ends April 29th). You can score up to 80% off a bunch of must-have home items for less from Le Creuset, patio furniture, and Dash kitchen appliances (another TikTok fave). And yep, we found a bunch of couch dupes majorly discounted!

Buy a Sofa Online? Wayfair Is Counting on It
Early on a fall morning, the sweat was already beading on Sean Williams’s brow as he and his partner wrestled with a problem worthy of a geometry class: figuring out the series of lifts, tilts and tugs needed to squeeze a sectional sofa through the front door of a New Jersey home.
Just a few days earlier, Jeanne Korchak had found the perfect L-shaped sectional for her Fair Haven home from a website run by the online home furnishings giant Wayfair. Now it was up to Mr. Williams to flawlessly deliver and assemble the sectional. A single rip or ding and Wayfair would wind up taking the furniture back.
After Mr. Williams declared he was done, Mrs. Korchak stepped into the room, her eyes zeroing in on a beige sofa cushion. “Is that a stain?” she asked. The room fell silent.
These days, ordering a shirt or a pair of shoes online and having them delivered to your home is easy. And while online grocery delivery may occasionally result in a broken egg or melted ice cream, it’s hardly the end of the world.
But ordering big, expensive furniture — a sofa, dining room table or mattress — online is a more complex challenge. Is that chair more teal or more turquoise? It’s hard to tell through the pixels. Do the cushions feel like you’re sitting on a cloud or on a boulder?
And that’s before the demanding task of delivery. Oversize couches meet small door frames. Fragile crystal chandeliers meet floors. Vanities are the bane of all deliverymen, managing to be both bulky, weighing hundreds of pounds, and delicate, with easily scratched or nicked tops.
This is the knotty space that Wayfair is trying to own.
This year, Boston-based Wayfair will sell around $4 billion worth of ceiling fans, dog beds, espresso machines, hot tubs and artificial Christmas trees (around 55,000 sold in the last 12 months) online. That’s nearly double what it sold two years ago and just a little less than the home furnishings giant Williams-Sonoma, which owns Pottery Barn and West Elm.
It’s a growth story that has proved irresistible to Wall Street; Wayfair’s stock price has more than doubled this year, to $71.
But the big question hovering over Wayfair is whether the company can ever make money by delivering bulk furniture virtually for free. The company is expected to lose nearly $200 million this year and has been a favorite of short sellers, betting that the company’s stock price will fall.
Most major furniture retailers will charge at least $130 to deliver a couch. But Wayfair will ship or deliver any purchases costing $49 or more for free, bringing large pieces of furniture into the entrance of your home. (Taking the item to a specific room or assembling it costs extra.) And if the order is damaged or if the customer simply doesn’t like the color, Wayfair says, it will take the item back.
Noting that Wayfair’s profit margins are considerably less than those of its competitors and that Amazon has signaled its interest in the space, some analysts argue that it may be difficult for Wayfair to produce profits. There has also been speculation in the industry that Amazon or Walmart could acquire Wayfair.
“It feels like 1999,” said Andrew Left, the executive editor of Citron Research, who has bet that Wayfair’s stock will fall. That was when the stocks of dot-coms and e-commerce firms soared, even though the vast majority were unprofitable.
Wayfair argues that the margins of its competitors, like Restoration Hardware or Williams-Sonoma, are higher because they are building extra profit into their pricing. A sofa from another company may start at $1,000, but Wayfair sells its sofas at an average price of $600, a spokeswoman said.
Wayfair also noted that its earnings in the United States before taxes and other expenses had been positive this year, and said its net losses were due to its investments in its international businesses.
Wayfair was founded by Niraj Shah and Steve Conine, friends and engineers who graduated from Cornell University in 1995. Within three years, the pair had sold their first company, an information technology consulting business, for $10 million.
But in 2002, as dot-coms collapsed, the two men noticed that small, specialized online retailers were still growing at a rapid clip.
“One lady had a website selling birdhouses that she stored in the garage,” Mr. Shah said in an interview. “She was looking to sell her business because she couldn’t keep up with the demand.”
So the two men started racksandstands.com, a website selling, well, stands and racks for televisions. In its first four months, the site amassed $400,000 in sales.
By 2010, the company was an incongruous collection of 270 websites, from cookware.com to everygrandfatherclock.com to outdoorrugs.com. So Mr. Shah and Mr. Conine consolidated the sites under one digital umbrella, and ultimately called it Wayfair.
Today, sitting under that umbrella is a dizzying array of more than eight million products. The company offers 7,328 types of coffee tables, 106,430 different area rugs (20,073 of them blue) and 759 different standing coat racks.
To help customers wade through its virtual bazaar, Wayfair has some of its 1,000 software engineers constantly developing new features for its app. One allows consumers to snap a photo of an item, a couch or chair, that Wayfair then matches with products on its website. Another recently released feature produces a 3-D image of the Wayfair product, allowing consumers to see how a piece looks in a room and, perhaps more important, whether it will fit the room’s dimensions.
But many traditional retailers argue that furniture remains a category where consumers will be reluctant to buy solely online.
“Having a real-world presence, we believe, is a competitive advantage,” said Marta Benson, the president of Pottery Barn.
While about half of the revenues for Williams-Sonoma come from online sales, Ms. Benson noted that plenty of customers “want to sit, touch and feel some categories before they purchase.”
Still, investors have rewarded Wayfair’s explosive growth since the company went public in 2014. With its soaring share price, Wayfair has a market capitalization of $6.2 billion. That’s $2 billion more than Williams-Sonoma’s valuation.
But a big difference is that Williams-Sonoma is profitable, making $300 million last year.
In an effort to bring down some of its costs, Wayfair has spent much of the past year changing its shipping and delivery models.
“We’re bringing it in-house,” said Sharif Sleiman, Wayfair’s head of supply chain and operations as he strolled through one of two new warehouses that Wayfair has built just outside Princeton, N.J.
The combined warehouses — the size of 17 football fields, with racks that stretch 40 feet to the ceiling — hold some of Wayfair’s most popular smaller household items and furniture, from scrub brushes to lamps, that can be shipped throughout the Northeast on United Parcel Service or FedEx trucks.
“We’re able to deliver faster, within one or two days,” Mr. Sleiman said, “and we’re seeing less damage.”
But delivering the bigger pieces of furniture is much trickier. A year ago, all of the “last mile” warehouse facilities were run by third parties. But concerns about inconsistent customer service and damaged tables and beds prompted Wayfair to take over half of the facilities, trying to infuse a sense of teamwork and enthusiasm among its workers.
“Is there anything else I can do for you?” shouted a group of two dozen deliverymen standing in a Wayfair warehouse in Linden, N.J., about 10 miles south of Newark, at 4:38 on a recent morning.
“Louder,” the team leader demanded.
A few minutes later, the group broke up, allowing Sean Williams and the other drivers to check their deliveries and routes for the day.
Mr. Williams and the others are employed by a third-party freight delivery firm, but Wayfair puts the drivers through extensive customer training, shows them how to handle fragile items and gives them bonuses for good customer feedback.
Mr. Williams’s first delivery that morning — dropping off and assembling a cocktail table — went smoothly. But in Fair Haven, he hit a snag with the sectional sofa.
On this day, at least, Wayfair escaped the fate of returned furniture. A few dabs with a baby wipe and the mark on the cushion disappeared.
Mrs. Korchak declared that she was pleased with her purchase, and, about 30 minutes after he had arrived, Mr. Williams pulled the truck out, headed for his next delivery.

The 12 Best Sectional Sofas of 2021
Floyd Three-Seater Sofa and Chaise Review
Size: 87 x 31 x 32 inches | Seating: 3 seats | Upholstery : Polyester blend | Chaise: Reversible | Return policy: 30 days plus 3-year warranty
Customizable colors and configurations
Easy to assemble and take apart
Chaise attachment can be moved to either side
Good for small spaces
Back pillows are slightly overstuffed
High shipping fees
A top “built-to-last” contender, Floyd’s The Sofa is both sturdy and supremely stain-resistant. Whether you worry about red wine spills, muddy pet paws, or clumsy kids, its liquid-repellant upholstery rivals that of outdoor furniture, only with a softer, more cottony feel. The cushions contain fill of varying densities for ultimate comfort (firmer in the seat, plusher in the back), and like a good pair of jeans, they break in over time.
Adding to its longevity, The Sofa is constructed on a solid frame of birch plywood and powder coated steel that’s virtually impossible to break or bend. Durability aside, it’s designed to be “take-apart-able” with easy assembly and disassembly, meaning it can fit through almost any stairwell or doorway. In essence, if you buy The Sofa, you can plan on keeping it for the long haul. Get it in five trendy shades, including two coastal blues and a striking saffron yellow.
"In addition to its durability, The Sofa’s minimalist and timeless design is made for long-term versatility. The accompanying chaise can be secured to either side for the ideal fit in your space." — Karen Tietjen, Product Tester
The 8 Best Couches of 2021
IKEA versus Wayfair: Who’s got the best sofas at the best prices?
According to the majority of studies taken, the average man and woman spend north of 2 hours per day on their family’s personal couch. That’s over 700 hours a year sitting on the same piece of furniture, totaling 1/12 of a person’s life! Hey, we definitely aren’t here to judge, only to recommend that with such a significant amount of downtime being spent on your home’s sofa, you do everything within your power to make sure it’s as comfortable as can be.
At the same time, overpaying for subpar quality is never fun, and navigating the endless inventory of major online retailers such as IKEA and Wayfair can be a daunting chore. After doing some significant research on behalf of Houstonians, our goal is to make sure you get the best sofas imaginable while still being able to boast about an easy shopping experience and great final price.
The Best Sofas from Wayfair
From traditional couches to sectionals and sofa beds, you’re sure to find something that suits your Houston home perfectly when browsing all of the best sofas from Wayfair. Your eyes will quickly tell you what’s stylish, but while you can’t actually sit on the couch, relying on products with an abundance of reviews is an ideal way to determine how comfortable the sofa will be.

Another of the best details about Wayfair is how their images feed shoppers exciting ideas for how to accessorize sofas with throw blankets and colorful pillows, which are all for sale on Wayfair as well.
Wayfair Couches that Are the Most Stylish
Seeing as how Wayfair has over 28,000 different sofas for sale, from standard and curved couches to Chesterfield sofas and modular designs, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact couches that are the most stylish for your unique tastes. The good news is this is part of the fun! Wayfair is extremely user-friendly on any mobile device, and after narrowing down your preferred color and design, you can choose the one that matches the style of your Houston home.
Are Wayfair Sofas Good Quality? Things to Know Before Buying
The most important thing to know about Wayfair before buying is that—despite shipping being free on your initial purchase—you will be charged shipping costs when returning an item you don’t like. However, you do have 30 days to make the return and missing parts are shipped out immediately without additional costs. There is no blanket assurance we can give on the quality of all Wayfair pieces, but checking out customer reviews on each piece will give you great insight. Receiving the item at your front door will always be the moment of truth for personally judging its quality, but if you’ve researched the legitimate reviews, this shouldn’t be an issue.
The Best Sofas from IKEA
If you’re a newbie to the world of IKEA, you’ll quickly realize their products all carry names that sound like Game of Thrones characters, but that’s okay! Toss any xenophobia to the side and embrace how the best sofas from IKEA usually carry some of the best prices anywhere for furniture, whether in Houston or elsewhere in Texas.

These two couches hold a solid number of reviews, each with a positive aggregate score.
IKEA Couches that Are the Most Stylish
As a whole, IKEA couches tend to be far more on the modern side than rival retail outlets. However, with sofas usually being the centerpiece of a room, IKEA styles still tend to be versatile within the overall vibe people are looking to achieve. Plus, with closer to 150 couches available, you will be able to peruse their inventory quickly before reaching a decision.
Are IKEA Sofas Good Quality? Things to Know Before Buying
Before buying a sofa from IKEA, it’s important to realize they are a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it brand. Many customers have sworn by IKEA’s affordable price point for decades and mention nothing but good experiences. Yet due to select product recalls, many other customers complain about poor quality and difficult assembly. Once again, this is why you should rely on individual reviews when ordering online!
Consensus: The Best Place to Buy a Sofa Online
While we know this is a copout, choosing between Wayfair and IKEA is a little bit like the age-old debate “Beatles or Rolling Stones” despite both being brilliant. What we do know is that each retailer has their strengths and weaknesses. Using important criteria that online shoppers find most helpful, we’ve named the top pros of each.
Site with the Best Images & Descriptions for Couches: Wayfair
IKEA shouldn’t be too offended by losing the image and description battle—they still have the best Swedish meatballs, plus lingonberry jam that’s to die for! IKEA does include plenty of helpful photos for their products, making this less of a knock against IKEA and more of a shout-out to Wayfair’s comprehensive sets of pictures, fleshed-out product descriptions, and individual vendor overview pages. If you want to practically visualize any item without actually touching it, Wayfair is the king of that department.
Site with the Best Filters for Quickly Searching: IKEA
Let’s be honest about what minimalists the Scandinavians are when it comes to design. That minimalism carries over into their user experience as well, also aided by a lower but more selective inventory. An optional sidebar filter lets shoppers customize every search, from the number of seats needed to the exact shape of the desired product. Another massive perk of IKEA is how Houston does have a prime location right on I-10, making pickup and returns incredibly simple while Wayfair remains solely online.
Relax on Your Comfortable New Sofa
With proper maintenance, the average sofa can easily last up to 15 years, and if you’ve followed our guide, you’ll hopefully get as much wear, tear, and all-around comfort from your new sofa as possible. Just remember to keep those feet off the couch.
Beyond Ikea and Wayfair
Other Direct-to-Consumer Sofa Brands Worth Checking Out
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) furniture brands are growing in popularity due to a business model that eliminates the “middleman” or retailer, thus passing lower prices directly to the consumer. While you may be able to visit an Ikea store and try before you buy, you won’t have that luxury with DTC’s like Wayfair. Just in case you aren’t sold on finding the best sofas at Ikea or Wayfair, here are a few of the most widely and highly-rated DTC brands you may want to check out, too.
