Reversible Chaise Sofa - The Ultimate in Versatility

There's a lot to take into consideration when buying a new sofa. You've probably heard of terms such as "left-arm-facing" (LAF), and "right arm-facing" (RAF).

Those are just some of the lingos furniture companies use to describe asymmetrical sections and couches such as Albany Park's Kova. These modular options come with a cushion that extends above a floating platform ottoman, making it simple to swap sides.

Flexibility

When shopping for sectional furnishings there are a lot of things to take into consideration. Not only is there an abundance of terms to learn (we're talking about "left-arm facing" as opposed to "right-arm facing," as well as the distinction between standard sectional wedges and corner chaise sofa wedges) however, the various types of sectionals offer a multitude of configurations. One of the most effective options for flexibility is a reversible 3 seater chaise lounge sofa.

Reversible chaises allow you to switch from left to the right chaise without having to remove the entire seat and ottoman like you would with traditional chaise sectional furniture. You simply swap the chaise cushion from the end of the sofa to the other side. This is typically much simpler than it may sound.
