How to choose a sofa with a chaise longue

A sofa with a chaise longue combines comfort, style and functionality in one piece of furniture. Whether you enjoy stretching out after a long day, are creating extra space for guests or making the most of your living space, a chaise longue sofa can be a great addition to your living room. Before you make a decision, there are a few key factors to consider.

A chaise longue sofa typically requires more space than a standard sofa, so it's important to measure your room before making a purchase. Even a sofa with a small chaise longue can add comfort to your living room, so consider not only the dimensions of the sofa itself but also the surrounding space that is necessary to move around the room. 

It is also worth deciding whether the chaise longue should be positioned on the left or right side of the sofa, depending on your room layout and seating area.

When you are shopping for a sofa with chaise longue, the orientation of the sofa is typically labelled “left-facing” or “right-facing”. At JYSK, a left-facing chaise longue is on the left-hand side when you are standing in front of the sofa and facing it. Likewise, a right-facing chaise is positioned on the right-hand side. 

Some chaise longue sofas feature a reversible design, that allows you to switch the chaise longue from one side to the other. This added flexibility can be particularly useful if you want to rearrange your living room in the future.

If you're looking to maximise storage space in your living room, consider a chaise longue sofa with a built-in storage compartment. Hidden storage provides a convenient place for throws, cushions or other everyday items and helps you keep your living room tidy and organised.

A modular sofa allows you to create a seating solution tailored precisely to your needs. By combining different modules, such as corner, middle and end modules and chaise longue sections, you can design a sofa that perfectly fits your living room and lifestyle.
