Sofa with wooden arms - anyone seen please?

I need a small sofa for a small room, and am rather teed off that small sofas, chaise longue-y things and 'daybeds' seem to cost more than a normal sofa! Am looking for something very lightweight but more than an 'armless' type and love the type that just have a curved wooden arm 'rail' type - apparently they're mid century Scandinavian style - as these would fit in decor wise too. Has anyone seen any around please? I can only find on eBay and they're quite expensive there too.

TIA

Would you consider 2nd hand? We have a kind of retro 2nd hand furniture shop near us (Berks) that sells old Ercol type stuff.

Something like this?

Thanks very much all. Some good new ideas but all too big really as we need a two sweater, not three. And thedrugs, the futon look is great but we really don't need a sofa bed there so wanted it to look more sofa-like. Hmmm - think secondhand might have to be the way to go...

Are there are "retro" shops near you? This is one I know of. I think the pictures of things they sometimes have, rather than what's actually in stock.

Ikea lillberg?

Don't make them anymore but you can pick them up on ebay

Look up 'cottage suite'- they are the ones with wooden arms, you can recover the cushions if they are dated.

Thanks for some great ideas, all. wonky - Thks for all the limks. I love the nest site but sadly outside our price range. Hmmm - think we have to decide whether to go Scandi or vintage...
