Making the right seating choices is important and ArchiPro is here to help with their excellent selection, handpicked from some of Canada’s top suppliers.

Types of sofas and lounge suites

Corner lounges

A corner lounge or corner sofa is a couch that fits into the corner of a living room and is perfect for large families or those who entertain guests regularly.

Chaise lounges

An upholstered sofa in the shape of a chair with back and leg support, the chaise lounge concept is often included in modular lounge suites.

Modular lounges

Made up of separate pieces, modular lounges can be set up in several different configurations to work in different spaces. An increasingly popular choice in Canada.  

Occasional chair

A chair that is used less frequently than others in the lounge room, such as when an extra guest is present.

Ottoman

A low upholstered seat without a back or arms, the versatile ottoman can be used as a seat or footstool, and often has storage within.

Cinema seat

A modern reclining armchair with armrests for the cinema experience. Ideal for a media room.

The advantages of high quality sofas and lounge suites

In Canada, the lounge is often the favourite room in the house. You’ll spend a lot of time enjoying your sofas or lounge suite, relaxing on weekends or after work, watching sports, movies or reading a book or magazine. The same applies to furniture in a busy office, which gets a workout in a waiting area, meeting rooms, and lunch areas. Good quality furniture will stand up to this use for longer, looking good and providing comfort in a stylish way for many years.

How to choose sofas and lounge suites that are right for you

Choose a lounge suite or separate pieces that will fit your family comfortably, and guests if you entertain a lot and don’t overfill your room as it will feel cramped. A modular sofa and lounge suite are great for layout options. In a smaller space, swap the sofa for separate smaller pieces and ensure a layout that encourages conversation. Pairing items with matching or contrasting ottomans or poufs adds variety in height and texture. In the office, choose furniture that’s comfortable, but can withstand a lot of use over a workday.

What is a standard sofa size?

This depends on the type of sofa, but there are general measurements for the more common sofa sizes, measured from armrest to armrest. A standard two-seater will be 127cm wide; a three-seater, 198cm; and a four-seater 228cm.

What is the lifespan of a couch?

This will depend on the quality of a couch, and how it’s used, but generally, a couch should last around 10 years. A couch that’s better quality and that’s treated well will last the longest. For instance, a well-made leather sofa that is polished regularly with leather conditioner. 

Is a firm or soft sofa better?

Firmer sofas are more durable and ideal for entertaining as it’s easier to sit up and chat. Sofas will also soften over time, so starting with a firmer one is best, and it’s also better for back support and posture.

What style of sofa is the most popular?

Modular or sectional sofas are very popular in Canada due to their versatility of design and configuration, being able to be used in different spaces.
