The Best Floor Sofas for a Laid-back Modern Look
When it comes to creating a cozy, modern living space, floor sofas are stealing the spotlight. With their low profile and modern aesthetic, they're becoming increasingly popular for those seeking a sense of spaciousness and casual comfort.
Let’s explore why floor sofas deserve a spot in your home and which ones are the best for that effortlessly cool vibe.
What is a floor sofa?
A floor sofa, also known as a lazy sofa or a floor couch, is a type of sofa designed to sit directly on the floor, eliminating the need for legs or a traditional raised base.
These sofas feature a modern and low-profile design, which creates a grounded and inviting atmosphere in your living room. This design element not only adds a touch of contemporary style but also contributes to a sense of spaciousness, making them particularly well-suited for smaller rooms or those seeking a more minimalist aesthetic.
Unlike regular modern sofas that rely on legs or a frame for support, floor couches often utilize a platform base or a series of interconnected cushions to provide stability and comfort. This construction allows for a more relaxed and casual seating experience, inviting you to sink in and unwind.
The Auburn Performance Bouclé Curve Sofa is one option from our range that sits directly on the ground.
The Fable Performance Fabric Sofa features subtle curved seats and a low profile.
Why choose a floor sofa for your living space?
Floor sofas are the perfect fusion of style and comfort, offering a relaxed seating option without compromising on aesthetics.
Space-saving: Floor sofas feature space-saving designs and are perfect for smaller apartments or multi-functional rooms as they create the illusion of a larger space.
Versatility: Use them in living rooms, reading nooks, or even gaming setups.
Family-friendly: They're a great choice for families with little ones or furry friends running around, as their low profile means fewer worries about falls and bumps.
However, it's worth remembering that some floor sofas might not be the best fit for everyone. If you have back issues or need extra support when sitting for extended periods, look for options with adjustable backrests, firmer cushions, or built-in lumbar support features.
