love seat

Sofa for two

A love seat is a small sofa designed to seat two people.

The name suggests romantic proximity—a couple sitting close together.

Love seats serve as compact alternatives to full sofas in smaller spaces: The apartment only had room for a love seat and an armchair.

Also spelled loveseat.
