If you want to buy a new sofa or comfortable chair for your home, then you will not be short on choices. To make your decision a little easier, below you will find an overview of the main types available…

Traditional Sofas : Sitting a few people, and having an armrest at each end which is normally about half the height of the backrest, these types of sofas are a common sight in most living rooms. You can find one in pretty much any color or pattern if you take the time to look around. They are the cheapest type of sofa, though you can also find some very expensive high-end ones too.

Sectional Sofas : This type of sofa is the most versatile, due to the fact that you can break it down and re-arrange it how you like. When placed in a line, sectional sofas will typically be 6-10 feet long, but because they consist of several pieces, you can arrange them in an L-shape, a circular formation, etc. Some have a left arm, some a have a right arm, some have two arms and some have no arms at all. For the creatively minded, they are a great choice.

Futons : These have been popular in Japan for decades, and have recently become so in the Western world too. They bear a similarity to sleeper sofas, in that they are a sofa which you can also sleep on, but rather than being for a few people to sit on, a futon is mostly just a single sofa chair. The frame is often very light (in fact, sometimes there no frame at all), and the process of turning them from a sofa into a bed takes less than 10 seconds.

Tub Chairs : These chairs have been around for a long time, but have been updated and revised throughout that time. The style is best described as being a single, upholstered chair that has its back and arms merged into one semi-circular piece. For comfort and elegance it is hard to beat. You can get a single one to complement the existing sofas and chairs in a room, or you can get a matching set of them to transform the look of a whole room. As well as looking great in living rooms, they also look great in study rooms and bedrooms.
