Typically we use the word “sofa” quite loosely here as it is defined by Merriam-Webster.com as a “long, upholstered usually with arms and a back and often convertible into a bed”. I personally wouldn’t think a sofa should convert into a bed, and would call that a sofa bed if so.
Nonetheless, there are other furniture which can thread on that grey line.
1. The Ottoman
The ottoman is typically used as a coffee table, and in other countries it’s known as a footstool – for obvious reasons.
This piece traces back in the Ottoman Empire, where it used to be a centrepiece for seating in what we call the “living space” today. Overtime it has become smaller and acts more of a complementary furniture piece to the sofa.
2. The Armchair
Fun fact: The chair wasn’t popular until the 16th century – benches, chests and stools were the common seating pieces.
3. The Loveseat / Sofa
In all fairness, the loveseat is pretty much the same as sofa aside from it being smaller. In other countries we refer to them as a 2 seater or a 3 seater, which kinda makes them slightly different types of sofas only.
The Sectional / Modular Sofa
Sectional / Modular sofas are definitely another type of sofa, or arguably a combination of sofa pieces put together to create the ultimate living room seating arrangement.
The larger families are, the more it makes sense to have more sofas in the same room to accommodate everyone.
Sectional types of sofas allow the flexibility of expanding seating sizes, or downsizing by taking away smaller sections should they not be needed.
