Relax in heritage style with one of these traditional chaise longue sofas
The chaise longue has been a luxurious sofa style found in homes for centuries. Originating in France, the chaise longue became increasingly popular during the 16th century, when craftsmen created them as a type of daybed, where people could take a nap during the day without needing to retire to their beds.
