What Is A Cuddler Sectional?
A cuddler sectional is kind of like a loveseat, but the way you sit on it is a bit more unconventional. The design allows two people to sit on one seat cushion while still feeling comfortable leaning back on two separate back cushions. In fact, some cuddlers are big enough to seat two adults and two small children, making it possible for a young family of four to sit on one piece of furniture together.
As you might have guessed, the name “cuddler” comes from how it encourages cuddling and sitting closer to someone you know.
Overall, a cuddler is a contemporary piece of furniture — a new addition to pre-existing furniture styles.
What Is A Chaise?
A chaise is another small-ish sofa that usually has an arm on one side, making the furniture piece either “left-arm sitting” or “right-arm sitting.” However, some chaises have two arms. Typically you lie back and recline on a chaise, but you can also sit on it like a couch (without a back cushion).
What’s The Difference Between A Cuddler Vs. Chaise?
The difference between a cuddler vs. chaise is that usually you sit on a cuddler like a “normal” sofa. But you lie back on a chaise with your legs up in front of you.
How Do You Use Cuddlers In Interior Design?
Here are some things to consider when using cuddlers in your home’s interior design:
- Cuddlers aren’t always rectangle-shaped; many curve on one side.
- If you put two cuddlers together, you’ll probably end up with a semi-circle. Consider how the cuddlers will fit in your space, especially if you have tight corners.
- Cuddlers are good at creating focal points in a room.
Cuddler Vs. Chaise: Which Should You Get?
Below are some points to consider if you’re choosing between a cuddler and a chaise:
- Cuddlers are more comfortable for two people to sit on because a chaise only has a back for one person.
- Cuddlers and chaises can both be hard to fit in a new space if you move because of their unusual shape.
- Chaises are likelier to have storage space under the seat than cuddlers.
