Love Seats
The Gastard love seat sofa or sofa bed shown in Stain Resistant Broad Weave Linen Cupid
Despite their amorous name, love seats were originally used by Victorian women as a place to perch and smooth out their large dresses. Not quite an armchair, not quite a sofa, it provided the perfect solution to avoid embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions while sitting. The term 'love seat' didn't come into popular language until the 19th century, when people realised these types of seats could be used to allow lovers to talk intimately without drawing much attention to themselves.

Nowadays, love seats are synonymous with a romantic place to cosy up with your partner; with names ranging from love seat to snuggler or cuddler sofa. With their smaller dimensions, they’re also the ideal seating solution for rooms or homes which are tight on space.

Converting into a single size bed, they are the perfect way to stylishly maximise compact spaces.
