Sofas
For pure comfort, nothing beats a soft sofa. Everyone deserves at least one sofa to stretch out on. The standard sofa is 30 in. deep, with seat cushions 14 to 18 in. off the floor. Sofas are typically about 80-in long, with two or three cushions.
For a change of pace, consider the sofa's near cousins:
Loveseats are small sofas built for two people. They are typically 54 in. long. Their small scale makes them perfect for bedrooms or small spaces - between windows, for example.
Sectional sofas, also called modular sofas, consist of separate pieces, usually armless chairs flanked by end sections. They give you flexibility to rearrange seating.
Chaise lounges are as decadent as they sound. These long chairs allow you to recline in luxury.
