Some days he naps in the crib, other days on the couch. Is consistency required, or does he need to nap in the same spot every time?

Daytime naps in the same place isn't absolutely necessary. Babies, especially in the first 6 months, can adapt to changing environments; what matters is consistent sleep cues (darkness, white noise, same routine). However, around 4-5 months, some babies become more sensitive to environment changes and nap more easily in one place. If your baby naps well in both locations, there's no need to change. If he struggles in one place, gradually moving to a single spot might help.
