What Is a Chaise Sofa? (Including 15 Examples)

Chaise lounges became popular during the time French Victorian age in the 16th century. These were made for wealthy ladies who needed a place to relax that was not in the bedroom.

The chaise is now attached to one side of a sofa. Sofas are larger and can fit more people on the seats than the traditional chaise.
