Behind the Design: Lounging on a Cloud

Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that the best sofas feel like lounging on a cloud.

Sinking into a cloud couch is like sinking into a cocoon where you can relax and unwind after a hard day’s work. A step above the regular sofa, these dreamy couches are designed to look great and feel even better.

What is a cloud couch?

First imagined by London designer Timothy Oulton, the cloud couch was made to embody effortless style. Sleek and simple, yet all-consuming and enveloping, this lounge concept delivers absolutely phenomenal comfort — plus, its characteristic modularity lends itself to a variety of spaces. It’s no wonder that this iconic design has won a place in the homes of celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Naomi Watts.

If you can’t shell out the original cloud couch’s hefty price tag, don’t worry. It’s absolutely possible to bring cloud-like comfort in your very own home for a fraction of the price. Discover four incredible cloud like couches from Lounge Lovers collection below — all of which are oversized, overindulgent, and overflowing with comfort.

Did you know? Every cloud couch in the Lounge Lovers range features removable covers, which makes them an absolute breeze to clean!

Cloud Sofa

If you want a sofa that feels like lying in a nest of cotton wool, the Cloud Sofa needs to be at the top of your list. Featuring slender arms and a back offset by deep feather-filled cushions, this finely made sofa is made for hours and hours (and hours) of downtime. What’s more, the sturdy frame is made from solid pine so you know that your sofa will be with you for years to come.

Need an extra place to perch? Pair it with the Cloud Armchair, and you’ll be floating in heaven no matter where you sit.

Prefer your cloud sofa with a touch of Italian style? If so, you’ll love the Long Beach Corner Sofa.

This stunning sofa epitomises cloud-like comfort with plump cushions and 5 additional pillows for even deeper relaxation. The Long Beach’s design is also incredibly versatile: save space in the corner or separate it into two sections for additional seating when guests come by.

We love the Long Beach in Bellevue New Ivory for its contemporary coastal charm. Alternatively, the Long Beach mini makes for a great addition to more petite living spaces.

Hampton Sofa Range

There’s a reason why the Hamptons are the destination of choice for wealthy New Yorkers and jetsetting celebs. Hamptons homes are lavish by design, while also inviting relaxation with the very finest pieces of furniture that the world has to offer. And it’s this luxe yet laid-back style that forms the basis of inspiration for our very own Hampton sofa range.

Loved by interior designers such as Three Birds Renovations, the Hampton Sofa delivers sublime comfort in a slim profile that looks great in any living room. Simply pick your configuration from a range of options, then let the Hampton’s plush feather blend cushions take care of the rest.

Haven Corner Sofa

Functionality was one of the hallmarks of the original Cloud Couch — and now, this signature design feature has found its way to other pieces like the Haven Corner Sofa.

With its modular design, the Haven can be moved around in a variety of configurations depending on your style and needs. Pull pieces apart to create multiple seating options, or add modules along each side to turn your 4-seater into a comfy corner sofa. The design also looks and feels great, thanks to its low profile and feather- and fibre-filled cushions.
