Hunting for sofa and loveseat sets for under $500 can be a tedious task if you don’t know where to look from.
Chances are you’ve already been to a local furniture store or two but didn’t find anything to your liking – or if you did it was way out of your budget.
The problem with this traditional approach is that clearly you have very specific criteria in mind and a brick and mortar store will most likely only have a few if any alternatives that match your need due to obvious reasons (physical space, limited customer base).
Luckily we are living in the golden age of online shopping so you can set your sights elsewhere. It’s like a whole new world opens up.
If you don’t find anything you like you can also build your own living room set. We suggest you start with a cheap sectional sofa under $500.

Sofa and Loveseat Sets Under 500 2024
Generally speaking the options could be divided in two sub-categories: 1) sofa and loveseat sets and 2) loveseat and sofa chair sets but dividing our list even further would not be very practical. Having such a tight budget you will not find combos with more pieces than these. If you want you could always gather your own set from separate pieces, starting with a sofa for example.

Yes, this set from Harper&Bright is slightly above the the budget, but it would have felt wrong not to include it in our list. Deals like this don’t come around too often.
What We Liked
- Massive value: just… think about it. A sofa that sits three, a loveseat AND a chair for this price? It’s a no-brainer if you’re looking for a whole set.
- Clear instructions, easy assembly
What We Did Not Like
- Delivery: only curbside delivery seems to be available, meaning that you need to carry the packages inside yourself (hopefully with some help, though)
- Whether this is a minus or a plus depends on you, but you might want to pick a measuring tape and visualize the size of these. They certainly seem bigger in the pictures than in real life
What To Look For In a Sofa & Loveseat Set?
Let’s dive into some of the factors you should take into consideration when making the decision.
Design
Quite obviously the first and foremost thing you will be looking at is the style and look of the set you are about to buy. While we can’t possibly know your taste and the living room interior that you are about to place the set in there is something worth mentioning here: what pieces do you want in your set?
As there is no clear-cut definition of what’s included in a ”living room set” you need to evaluate what’s best for your needs. Do you want all your pieces to be the same (like two loveseats) or maybe a set with a sofa and a recliner? Just a single big sofa with an ottoman? How many people are you looking to seat? Would you like matching pillows?
Size
Who would have thought that it’s quite important that your furniture fits into your home… Unless your living room is enormous always remember to double check the measurements of all the pieces and make sure that they fit into their desired spots (and through your doors!).
Also remember to have a look at the shipping conditions, most suppliers (Merax and Harper&Bright Designs for example) will only have so-called ”curbside delivery” available, meaning that the product gets delivered to the outside of your house but not any further. You will have to arrange the rest yourself. If you live by yourself or are unable to do this for some other reason you will have to be prepared for the delivery with a few extra hands and muscle.
Material
Polyester, suede, PU leather or something else? Once again this is highly a matter of personal preference and not really up to us to decide what’s best for you.
Feedback & Reviews
This one is important if you’ve found a set that you like from outside our list.
Because you will most likely have no chance to actually test the sofas and/or chairs you are about to purchase you might want to have a look if there are reviews or feedback written by people who’ve previously bought them.
After you’ve seen the sofa and read about the material you will already have quite a good image of the firmness of the seat.
