Get to know the Relax sofa style
The clue is in the name - these sofas are for people who love to relax. This style group has comfort designed into every detail - inviting overstuffed cushions and panelling, padded arms, commonly a higher back and a chunkier feel. You won’t find feature feet here - with a sturdy base, always to the floor, this is a solid look. Often with recline features and extra functions (like USB charging, reading lights, cupholders and hidden storage) and giving great lumbar support, these high back sofa styles provide best-of-the-best comfort.
And with such a wide range of styles, there’s something for every space, too. These ranges are most popular in leather and faux leather, but can be found in textured fabrics too.
Made for lounging
If your sofa is your happy place, it’s about to get even happier. While every lounging sofa in this range provides our ultimate level of comfort - there’s plenty more features on offer; from USB charging and hidden cupholders to reading lights, storage and of course, electric or manual reclining. These are truly hard working, multi-tasking sofas.
A relaxed sofa prioritises comfort above all else - whether it’s plump arm cushions, supportive sprung seats, or the smooth motion of an electric reclining footrest or headrest. While you might not think of this more casual sofa style being trendy, there are plenty of fun design choices to be had within this category - from fun contrast stitching, to statement oversized silhouettes, and even clever comfort features like wireless charging and heated seats.
Modern recliner sofa
Combining supportive cushions with contemporary styling, a modern recliner sofa brings a smart, fresh look to your space - without compromising on comfort or features. Many are available with high-tech smart features, from heated seats and integrated lighting to wireless chargers and power recliners. A classic leather recliner sofa looks good in every living space - and with real and faux leather options, there’s something for every budget. And big families will love our corner recliner sofas - with plenty of space for everyone, plus extra hidden features suited to busy family life.
Chunky sofas
Cosy, chunky, sink-in comfort - this sofa style is close to our heart, because it’s one that we at DFS have been known for creating throughout our history. And with the revival of the 1970s sofas and interior trends where this style originated hitting the mainstream, as a bonus, this style has never been trendier!
There’s a lot of choice within this sofa style, but it’s mostly epitomised by chunky, oversized features, upholstered in cosy fabrics like cord, with simplified shapes and unfussy details. Highlights include squat, wide arms; low-slung profiles; thick, cosy arm pads; and generally chunky and curvaceous silhouettes. These roomier 1970s inspired sofa styles offer space to stretch out, snuggle up, or even take a nap - ideal for those who place comfort at the top of their priorities.
