Chesterfield Sofas - A Variety of Choice

Chesterfield Sofas come in many different shapes and sizes. From the traditional and formal Essex Sofa to the contemporary and flamboyant Cumberland Sofa - the choices in finish detail, sizes and shapes are almost endless.

But which Chesterfield Sofa is right for me? And what do I want out of it?

Different people require different characteristics in their Chesterfield Sofa - whether it be the traditional firm sprung and webbed or the informal soft and squishy. There are practically dozens of different styles of Chesterfield Sofa to choose from but there are only a few different basic designs. These are:

• Straight or Crested Back:
  The profile of the back gives the Chesterfield Sofa it’s shape. Straight backed Chesterfields are more traditional in appearance. Crested backs do, however, tend to give more lateral back support.
• Low or High Leg:
  With regard to the stance of your Chesterfield Sofa, many traditional Chesterfields have plain wooden bun feet. However, many Chesterfields now tend to have a thinner undercarriage and a taller leg gives a more elevated appearance.
• Cushioned or Buttoned Base:
  It is down to personal preference and taste as to whether you go for the comfort and shape of a stuffed cushion or whether you prefer a buttoned and tufted base instead.
