Types of Couches or Lounge Chairs

There are several types of couches/sofas and lounge chairs to fit your relaxation needs. Depending on your style, physical requirements and desired lounging possibilities, there may be a number of options that work best for you.
  1. Lawson

    • A Lawson style sofa/couch has loose backing and cushions (allowing for more body conformity and comfort) and low, curved armrests.

    Sectional

    • A sectional sofa is broken up into several sections that you can combine to form one piece of furniture or use each piece separately. When put together, a sectional typically forms a curved shape.

    Recliner

    • A recliner is a chair (and sometimes one portion of a sectional) that has a mechanism that allows you to recline. There are often three recline levels: upright, with feet up, and fully reclined. Reclining is usually manual by use of a hand lever, but more expensive models have an electric, touch-button feature.

    Chaise

    • A chaise lounge is a sofa/couch with only one arm and a back across only half of the cushion, allowing for a relaxed sitting position with the feet up.

    Loveseat

    • A loveseat is a small couch/sofa that only seats two individuals comfortably.
