would you rather?

An L shaped corner sofa

A 4 seat sofa with a chaise

Or two sofas. One three seat and one two seat?

I am struggling to decide how to make this decision for my living room!

can you post any photos of the space you're going to put them in?

Who lives in the house?

Do you often have visitors?

we need it to double as a sofa bed. I don't have pics no as we are in the middle of rennovating! We do have visitors periodically. DP and i - We also will have a young family soon as one on the way.

We have a three seater and a two seater for the reason you gave - one doubles as a bed and IME they aren’t always as comfortable as sofas that are just fixed. It works well but I do like a L-shaped corner sofa too, and some of them can make quite good beds as well I think.
Not so keen on the 4-seater and armchair for some reason, but as PP say, it all depends on the layout of the room.

Would the L shaped sofa be your only sofa? Would a bit of it fold out into a sofa bed, or would you just use the sofa as the bed?
We have an L sofa plus a two seater sofa. I don't often sit on the L sofa, maybe because of our set up and where the TV is but my teens often lounge on it. I'm not sure I'd find it comfy enough to sleep on though it is a comfy sofa.
So in your shoes, I'd probably go for a two seater and a three seater with one being a sofa bed.

I think unless a room is huge a corner sofa always looks squashed into a corner in a way that two separate sofas aren’t (perhaps it’s because you can put a table and lamp in the corner. How often do you need the sofabed? If it’s only a few times a year I’d not bother. Sofabeds are neither great beds nor great sofas - they’re not particularly comfortable in either incarnation. I’d get two beautiful, comfortable sofas and a good quality high blow up bed like an aerobed.

@whatwasthatnoise it would be my only sofa and it would be a sofa bed rather than just a normal sofa someone sleeps on.

Our last three air beds burst @Dandeloosha

Two sofas. One three seat and one two seat?

From your options, although I'd prefer a 3 seater settee and two arm chairs.
I just think it gives more flexibility.

Does multiple sofas take up more room than one larger corner?

3 seat and 2 seat
I hate corner sofas

1 x 3 and 1 x 2 is best in my experience
