• The tight back corner sofa has the firmest seat. The sprung backs have no pillows and have a much firmer support. You don’t really sink into these types of sofa. You are more likely to sit upright. The tight back corner sofa looks neater as there are no cushions.
• The loose pillow back corner sofa offers moderately firm seating. However this will also depend on the quality of cushions, its fillings and the depth of the corner sofa. The loose pillow back means you have an equal number of seat and back cushions. The pillows can be made in matching fabrics. The back pillows can also be unzipped in case you want to re-stuff it.
• The attached back pillow corner sofa offers softer seats. They still look very neat as the back pillows are all sewn onto the sofa. This means that you cannot move or shift the pillows, unlike the loose pillow back corner sofa.
• And then you have the multi pillow back or the scatter back corner sofa, with more back pillows than seat pillows. With these pillows, you can literally sink into the sofa as it offers soft seating. They are also more often deeper than the other sofa designs. The pillows can be arranged according to your tastes and preference or they can just be scattered in a random fashion, hence the name scatter back corner sofa.
