Anyone with a pampered pooch has a dog bed, but we’re making a case for a dog couch. That's right, a sofa designed specifically for your fur baby that is just as (if not more) stylish than your own couch. If you’re wondering what the difference between a dog bed and a dog couch is, we’ll be the first to say that there isn’t a huge distinction in terms of aesthetics, but one (the latter) is slightly more luxurious than the other, so we’re all for it.

From a distressed rattan dog couch that looks like it belongs in a château in the French countryside to a midcentury modern-inspired alternative reminiscent of Adrian Pearsall, there are a lot of stunning picks out there. Ahead, we rounded up our favorites that not only add a touch of design-centric charisma to your space but also give your pooch their own space to relax and unwind.

The best part? Unlike a traditional luxury sofa, which can go for more than a few thousand bucks, these equally extravagant dog couches won’t cost nearly as much. In fact, we made sure to include as many affordable options (think less than $100) as we did expensive ones, so if you’re looking to fill in that awkward nook in your living room or replace the bench at the foot of your bed with something sweet, this piece of your furniture is your chance. We guarantee you'll end up loving it just as much as your tail-wagger does.

Rattan is always in style, so if you're looking for a stylish dog couch that will stay in vogue, you can't go wrong with this Pottery Barn find. It's giving French country in all the right ways. Plus, the firm cushion with a removable and washable polyester cover is included.

How cute is this fuzzy dog couch with nailhead detail and rolled arms? Suitable for dogs less than 30 pounds, this sweet space will easily become their new favorite place to lounge. Just like a regular sofa, it features two wooden stocky legs that lift the seat off the ground, but unlike traditional couches, this one features a storage pocket for toys and treats.

Another rattan option worth considering is this Serena & Lily find that's made entirely of tightly woven wicker. The best part, however, is this included cushion, which is covered in a stain-resistant Perennials fabric (opt for the large-scale checked pattern or the solid navy). Unlike some dog couches, this one works for all breeds—even the big ones.

If there was ever a time to invest in a midcenutry modern-inspired dog couch, it's now. This adorable pick features all the classic elements of mid-20th-century design, including angled and tapered legs, gentle curves, and a minimalist feel. Even the color is authentic!

That said, if you want to drift away from the typical earth tones of the midcentury era, this couch also comes in blush and Bordeaux. Your pooch may not care so much about the actual look of the best, but they'll certainly appreciate the coziness of the memory foam cushion.

Another midcentury-style dog couch that deserves a spot on our list is this Pets So Good option that features a birch wood frame, 100% polyester cover, and an ultra-plush foam cushion. Trust us, your dog won't even want to sleep in your bed after taking a snooze on this couch.

We've said it before and we'll happily say it again: Shearling furniture is having a moment. Case in point: this fuzzy dog couch, which comes in four sizes, so no matter how big your fur baby is, you'll be able to get him a cozy sofa. Here's what makes this bed cool, though: The top cover and bolsters are removable so that you can configure your dual lounge space on your own sofa right next to your pup.

This dog couch is so comfortable, you may be tempted to snag one for yourself. You may even be in luck because the biggest size fits up to 100 pounds (to offer a visual, that's roughly the size of an English mastiff or a Bernese mountain dog). It features an orthopedic foam cushion atop plush spun-polyester fill to relieve pressure points and provide support after a long run in the park. Moreover, this dog couch is upholstered in shrink-resistant micro velvet, micro linen, or micro chenille.

This Queen Anne-style dog bed is making a serious case for design-forward dog furniture, and we're here for it. The Anita features a wooden frame that's intentionally a bit distressed and a premium pebble weave textured fabric that gives it that Old World look. Of course, the memory foam cushion doesn't hurt.

There aren't many outdoor-friendly dog couches that work outdoors, but there are a select few. This Archie & Oscar find is made of durable weather-resistant pliable palm stems and includes a polyester cushion that you can wipe down or toss in the washing machine. Plus, it comes in three sizes–one of which is big enough for not one but two large pups.

We won't try to understand the inner workings of pet anxiety, but just like us, dogs can (and do!) get stressed out. Luckily, this dog couch was designed specifically for your slightly anxious pooches. There's something about the memory foam and the low-slung arms that make dogs feel a bit more at ease.

We couldn't help ourselves. This bubblegum-hued dog bed is so precious that we are tempted to snag the bigger, human-size version for our own homes. Word to the wise: Chewy claims this bed will work for small and medium dogs, but we wouldn't recommend gifting this to pooches more than 22 pounds.

If you're new to the dog mom life and have never shopped on Chewy, you can score $20 off and free shipping with the code "WELCOME."

Dogs like couches so much for the same reason we do, they just want to be comfortable and at ease on a plush piece of furniture. Not to mention, they tend to copy what their humans do, so if we're on a sofa, they'll want to be on a sofa.

Dogs certainly can sleep in your bed if you're okay with it, but some people prefer keeping the bed to themselves because a lot of allergens tend to get stuck in dog fur, so if they're nestling up to you at night, you may wake up feeling a bit sick.

There's no reason dog-specific furniture shouldn't be just as stylish as regular furniture, so when we set out to find the most beautiful and comfortable dog couches, you know we included only the best pieces. Plus, we considered various styles and pretty much every budget imaginable.
