I absolutely hated my couch. My fiancé will say I complained about it every single time I sat on it.
We went to a lot of furniture stores around us to try sofas out, but everything we liked cost at least two months rent. So, like many millennials, we bought a sectional online without ever sitting on it four years ago.
Now, it fit our (at the time) small studio perfectly and was able to fit six people but it felt like sitting on cardboard. I love to lounge on the couch to watch movies but I could never get comfortable on my old couch. This sounds dramatic but I really had a personal vendetta against it.
We’re planning a wedding so getting a new couch wasn’t supposed to be on the top of our to-do list, but I was at my breaking point. I wanted to enjoy Halloween movie nights on a couch that didn’t feel like a park bench! But I still was totally against spending $5,000 on one.
A couch that was super comfortable and plush but also looked nice was really important to me. I’m obsessed with the look of the Cloud sofa from Restoration hardware but it’s $10,000 (seriously, lol) and the reviews say it does not hold it’s shape. So, when I found the Valyou Feathers Sectional for a fraction of the price, I was intrigued.
It comes in different sizes (from 88 inches to 170 inches) and in two colors, beige and gray. Besides the good reviews from customers and some YouTubersI trust, what really sealed the deal for me to purchase this couch without trying it first was that the cushions can be removed and washed. Mello, our dog, likes to jump on the couch and lounge when we’re not home. Even though I clean his paws after walks, NYC grime inevitably gets inside. I wanted a couch I could clean should any accidents happen.
I’m not going to lie, I was definitely nervous about purchasing another couch online. But, I quickly got over it once it came. Shipping was ridiculously fast and even though we had curbside shipping, the deliverymen brought the boxes up to our apartment. It took my fiancé and I about 10 minutes to put it together. When I finally sat on it, I realized everything I had been missing before. The Feathers Sectional is fluffy but firm — I don’t feel like I’m sinking to the floor. Even though I’m scared to sit on it because of the color and it’s just so pretty, I actually took a nice afternoon nap on it yesterday, something I could never do with the other couch.
I’m not an interior design influencer, I’m just a woman who enjoys a cute couch I can get cozy on. This sofa is perfect for apartments and at a great price point. I’ve only had it for about a week, so I can’t yet speak to how much it needs to be fluffed, but I’ll keep you updated. But for now, I’m very happy with my decision to take the plunge and order it.
Valyou has other nice furniture and I’m eyeing the Feathers armchair to complete the look. If you see anything that catches your eye, you can use my code ASH5 at checkout for 5% off. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the couch!

Nice big. Yes couches need to be comfortable since we do spend a lot of time on them! Glad you found one you are able to sit and relax on!
