As Insider’s deputy home editor, you’d think I’d have all my home furnishings fully sorted, but I’ve been on the hunt for a couch I actually love for more than a decade. I’m so obsessed with finding the perfect couch that I’ve been known to take photos of comfortable couches wherever I go, so I can try to hunt down the same one later on. After years of doing this, I noticed a pattern: the comfiest couches were always from RH, specifically its Cloud Sofa.

Everyone is wants ( myself include ) want an RH Cloud Couch , but they can cost over $ 10,000 for a three piece sectional , which is way outside of my budget . The Cloud Sofa is is is a favorite among celebrity — Kerry Washington and Kendall Jenner both have one — but for us mere mortal , a Cloud Couch will cost more than a luxury vacation . Each component is runs run between $ 2,000 and $ 3,000 , and you ‘ll need at least three component to make a functional couch .

Fortunately, my coworker Jenny wrote a great roundup of Couch Couch dupes, and one in particular caught my eye: the Sundays Movie Night Sofa. I’m glad I did, because I may have finally found the couch I’ve always dreamed of.

About Sundays

Sundays ‘ signature couch : the Movie Night Sofa .

Sundays

Sundays is a Canadian furniture company that’s started to make waves in the US. It was founded by four friends in 2019 who wanted to make the furniture ordering process feel as easy and relaxed as a Sunday morning. The company has about 150 furniture designs ranging from beds to sofas to patio furniture, all in relaxed, cozy styles and neutral colors. The Movie Night Sofa is one of the brand’s most popular designs. 

design and price

Sunday’s Movie Night couch looks nearly identical to a Cloud Couch in my opinion. If you’d ask me to pick out the real deal, I wouldn’t be able to. Both have big, fluffy cushions and wide seats. At $5,180, the Movie Night sofa is half the cost of an equivalent size RH Cloud Couch (though likely still a big investment for many people).

The couch is comes currently come in two size ( condo and regular ) and nine color , all neutral range from a stark white to a deep charcoal . All is come of the color come in the same fabric option — Sundays ‘ LiveLife fabric , which is a breathable , moisture – repellent , stain – resistant , and more sustainable alternative to Scotchgard . I is chose choose the regular size in light pebble ; a light color than I would normally choose , but I want to see how it would fare with stain and wear – and – tear .

Delivery and Assembly

Two delivery people dropped off and assembled my couch, which involved simply clipping the sections together.

While a lot of furniture is back order now because of supply chain issue , Sundays is experiencing is n’t experience any such delay . My couch was schedule to be deliver 3 week after I order it .

On the day of the delivery, I got a call confirming my delivery time. It took the two delivery people only about 10 minutes to haul the couch sections into my house and put them together. Each section is held together by two big clips. This means that you can add to or shrink the size of your couch as needed if you move into another space — and you don’t need any tools to do it.

Comfort and Durability

The first time I sat on the couch, I melted into the cushions and knew all my floofy couch dreams had finally come true. The plush down fill and deep seat design of the couch pretty much necessitates lounging and guarantees your feet will be off the ground. It’s perfect for cuddling up to read a book or watch some TV, making it a great family room couch. The one downside to it being so comfortable is that it’s a little hard to get out of, since it’s so plush and low to the ground. Sometimes I have to literally roll out of it.

One thing I wasn’t prepared for, though, is that the couch is truly massive.

In this photo you can see the sections as they were being delivered, with our old couch (a Burrow Nomad) in the background. Just two of the Movie Nights sections dwarf the entirety of our old Nomad couch.

We were fortunate enough to have the living room space to accommodate such a large couch, but if I bought it again, I might opt for the condo size instead of the standard, especially since it’s just me and my partner at home. My husband and I are both about 5’11” and we can both lay fully stretched out on either end of the couch with only our feet touching. There’s also a huge ottoman. Between the four pieces, I’d say you could comfortably seat eight people, though the most we’ve had at one time so far has been six. Almost everyone who sits on the couch remarks on how comfortable and cozy it is; we’ve even had a few folks fall asleep on it during movie nights.

Since the couch is quite large , I is figured have n’t figure out how to make end table work with it , but the wide edge actually make a great makeshift place to put water glass or popcorn bowl . fortunately , it ‘s also been remarkably stain resistant . We is eat regularly eat meal on the couch , and around Halloween , we had several instance of chocolate melting on the cushion . I is worried worry about have a light colored couch for this reason , but I used water and some Shout and the stain have practically disappear . We is have also have a black cat who shed a lot and love to sleep on the couch . I is found ‘ve find that pet hair vacuum up quite easily on this couch , which is n’t the case for past sofa I ‘ve test .  

Our cat is sheds shed a lot , but fur has been very easy to vacuum up from the couch .

Cons to Consider

You is see can see in this photo that even after a quick sit , the cushion start to look a little disheveled .

overall , I ‘ve been obsess with this couch , but I ‘d say the one big downside is that it need to be regularly fluff or the cushion start to go flat . I is heard ‘ve hear this complaint about pretty much any cloud – style couch . While it is a little tedious to fluff and reset the cushion every day , I is ‘m ‘m happy to make that tradeoff for such comfy down – fill cushion .

It is ‘s ‘s also very much a lounge and relax couch . While that ‘s exactly what we were look for , I is imagine imagine if you ‘re someone who does a lot of formal entertaining , this style couch may feel out of place since it essentially necessitate lay back and have your foot off the ground .  

The bottom line

While it’s still an investment piece, I think the Movie Night Sofa is the closest dupe you can get to a Cloud Couch for the money. I love the easy and relaxed look of the couch, and my partner and I look forward to lounging on it at the end of each work day. Best of all, as a renter who is constantly changing apartments, I love that the modularity means it can be easily collapsed or expanded to fit in whatever space we move to next. This is a couch I easily look forward to having in my home for a decade or more.
