If you have the space for it in your living room, a chaise lounge sofa or a chaise lounge chair is a popular choice. Thanks to its comfortable and inviting configuration, a chaise lounge is perfect to relax on after a long day or to snuggle up on to watch your latest streaming obsession. But, first things first, what exactly is a chaise lounge? And what’s the difference between a chaise lounge sofa and a chaise lounge chair?
What is the difference between a chaise lounge sofa and a chaise lounge chair?
Technically, the two are quite similar – both inclusive of a ‘chaise’. Often, you’ll find L-shaped sofas or couches called chaise lounges: this is simply a sofa with a chaise attached to the end of it, creating the familiar ‘L-shape’.
Therefore, a chaise lounge chair is a separate piece of furniture that is often added to a lounge setting. Oftentimes, doubling as a daybed as well as being a popular option for smaller living rooms or home offices.
