The 9 Best Couch Caddys

At just over three feet long and a foot wide, the Ikea Flort is well-suited for large couches or even beds. Four pockets of equal size can house remotes and other small accessories, while its large compartment is a nice spot for newspapers and magazines.

Some noteworthy features – like slim slots for writing utensils and large pockets for remote controls and books – make the Kovot Tray an option to consider. Positioned on top is an octagonal surface that can hold small plates right on the armrest.

A handsome model that’s designed to adjust to the size of any sofa or chair, the NoNo Tabletop will help eliminate the clutter that’s been accumulating in your family room. It saves space and provides a handy area to place your snacks and beverages.

If you’re not a fan of the traditional over-the-armrest design, then ditch it for the Cupsy Sofa Organizer. Thanks to its sturdy legs that can be repositioned, this nimble model can be inserted between cushions, offering access to two people.

If your furniture won't support an over-the-armrest configuration, consider the Pop Baby HAKACC, which hangs down below the seat. Slide the plain end under a cushion or mattress and you can easily keep all your gear right at your fingertips.

Available in 11 attractive color options, the MDStop Sofa will blend in with virtually any type of furniture or living room decor. Once it’s set up, pack it with your remote control, TV Guide and a Kindle to prepare yourself for hours of well-deserved relaxation.

With a refined look due to the faux-leather front, the BCP Brown has 5 pockets: 4 for your remote controls or phone, and 1 for magazines or a tablet. Thanks to its 34-inch length and anti-slip backing, it stays in place better than some others, too.

The Fasthomegoods Armrest has a slot with enough interior space to hold an iPad, a thick notebook, or even a weighty hardcover novel. The other two pockets are suitable for glasses, a remote control, and smaller mobile devices.

Built with wood for enhanced strength, the iLemon Sofa Holder is more substantial and reliable than many of the flimsy cloth options out there. Use the four clasps at the bottom to adhere it to your couch or any other household surface that makes sense.
