For a Shared Reading Experience: Two Seater Sofas

While a younger or older childless couple might have reason to “get cozy,” and study an article on two seater sofas, a married couple with children could find it hard to set aside time for such a “luxury”. Yet it is possible to transform a two seater sofa into a large corner grouping. The early spring catalogue from Restoration Hardware offers pictures and details about several such transformable sofas.

The name given to one of those transformable pieces could easily confuse an online shopper, especially a shopper searching for photos of 2 seater sofas. This particular piece of furniture has been relegated to the “Grand Scale Roll Arm Line.” In fact, it is a group of cushions that can be used to design an expandable, studio to full living room seat. That expanded “seat” can accommodate as few as two or as many as five adults.

Another challenge to those that spend time online, shopping for two seater sofas is the varied terms used to describe such comparatively small items. In one Pottery Barn catalogue a page that has information on several different sofas fails to mention any two seater model. Instead, it spells out the measurements for a “love seat” and a “Chair and a Half.”  Therefore, the reader must ponder the question of whether a chair and a half-sized piece could substitute for a 2 seater sofa.

Anyone who wants to order one of PB’s cloth covered, expandable sofas gets to choose from among more than five dozen different fabrics. There are embroidered fabrics, striped fabrics, textile lines with a basket weave feel, lines with a velvety feel, plus two other choices–canvas and twill. Those latter two selections come in an entire rainbow of colors.

Moreover, the above list does not exhaust the possibilities.  An order for one of the PB sofas could include a request for a suede cover, a printed cover, a jacquard style of covering, a chenille covering, a linen covering or a Herringbone cover. While the Jacquard textiles have an unusual pattern, the remaining fabrics put a single hue on any sized grouping of seating units.

Among all of the above possibilities, one fabric remains missing. Does Pottery Barn not sell any leather sofas? Yes they do. Yet some of the choices given to the buyer of one leather sofa do not match the list given to a second buyer. When it comes to leather covered seats, some product lines offer more color choices than others do.

The final word on two person sofas should mention the outdoor loveseat sold by Restoration Hardware. This light wooden piece comes with a set of comfortable cushions. The person who buys this item can elect to have either canvas or twill covered cushions. Both types of cushions are made with textiles from the Sunbrella factory.

The reams of woven threads produced by Sunbrella have the ability to hold up under the changing outdoor conditions. However, the couple that plans to share any one of the two seater sofas needs to agree on the nature and color of what will cover that sofa.
