Some of your most precious moments will occur in your living room. Whether it’s or that once a year sporting event, Christmas morning, or your child’s first step, your living room will be the crucial point of many memories you will hold dear. The centerpiece of this very important room is the sofa. Your sofa will be one of the most significant pieces of furniture you own. The sofa needs to fit the everyday life of your family and be a place where you want to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
When deciding on what sofa to buy from your local PMD Furniture Direct™ franchisee, you need to understand the different types of sofas so you can decide which one best suits your family.
Styles of Sofas
Standard: The standard sofa is typically the most common of the sofa family. It generally seats about three adults and is a stationary piece of furniture.
Motion: Perfect for laying back and watching a ball game or movie with the family, motion sofas have built in recliners or rockers. This will give you a place to kick back and relax after long day.
Sectional: For families who tend to host a lot of parties or have a larger living room sectional sofas are usually the better choice. The larger sectionals usually come in a L or U shape and are perfect for having conversations.
Loveseat: The loveseat is much like its companion the sofa except for the fact that it is a bit smaller and can generally only seat about two adults. A loveseat is a perfect complement to any sofa and can provide extra need seating space.
Sleeper: If you are prone to having many overnight guests for holidays are other events, then a sleeper sofa is a must have. Sleeper sofas have a built in bed frame that pulls out from underneath the seat cushions.
