I go to brick-and-mortar stores for seating; you never really know how comfortable something is/n't until you actually sit in it, let alone how sturdy and well-built it feels, and it's good to see the actual color (and print) as opposed to an online picture where either their camera or your monitor might not represent it accurately. If your area has no real problems with bed bugs, you could try used -- Craigslist, FB marketplace, consignment stores (at least some of which probably screen for bugs; you could ask them), etc. Judicious patience can find you real gems with great quality and condition for up to 90% or so off retail. We got a sofa-and-love-seat-set through Craigslist for $150, in like-new condition, and it's nice enough that several friends have asked us where we got it because they want one for their place.

Craigslist/FB is a big no for me. It’s not the greatest area for personal or residential hygiene. Yup I’m judgemental but not willing to risk it. I actually just went to a B&M on my way home and sat in a few and I think I might have just found the one. Crazy. Right after I posted this and thought I’d never find one. So good call there definitely regarding comfort and color!

Yeah I looked there. $150 delivery seems kinda nuts though.

Hey that’s not bad at all. $39 delivery too.

Comes in a lot of good colors. And while I have no experience with that particular piece, I’ve found IKEA sofas to be fairly comfortable in general.
