i'm making a couch and my armrest isnt all quads, is there anyway to easily make all the faces quads or do i need to go in with insert edge loops and try to figure it all out

What is the purpose of the mesh?
In-Game asset, interior design, Animating or Movie?

In game engine, We mostly use Geodesic geometry.
We can even use Ngons, if you are only creating a still image of an interior.
But if you want to animate it, then you have to use Quads!

Just do a Smooth(it converts your geometry into all quads)!
And If you are learning the foundations(which likely you are) then try to solve it with Split Polygon Tool!

Good luck(Maya User)
