This Couch Went Viral on Tiktok, Here's Why

This Couch Went Viral on Tiktok, Here's Why

TikTok users first spotted the Caruso Fabric Sleeper in user Rachel Tiffanyy's viral video, which she captioned, "Things tiktok made my fiancée buy for me." Garnering more than 430,000 likes, the original video brought interested patrons of TikTok to the video's comment section wondering what the couch is really like. "How comfy is it? It looks pretty firm," one user questioned. "Was it easy to put together or does it not come apart," another commented. Rachel's subsequent reply video detailed that the couch was $1,800 when she bought it and that it is super comfy indeed.

Furniture Row, where the couch is sold, learned about the couch's viral success and consequently increased its price to $2,199 — and it still sold out in most places, per PopSugar. Knowing that it used to be cheaper can make it hard for many to open their wallets, so we've curated a few alternates. TikTok user Paolo found an option in Costco for $1,000, and this sleek sectional at WayFair will only set you back about $769. The only downside to buying these couches, however, is that they're not TikTok famous. 

From leggings to couches, it's clear that anything can go viral on TikTok. Now, it's just a waiting game to see what takes off next.
