Chaise lounges are upholstered sofas with inbuilt leg support, back support provided at the end of the couch where an armrest could usually be, and either no back or a sloping half back. Intended for a single person to recline on, they can also be used for traditional upright seating. Increasingly, the chaise concept is included in sectional lounge suites and corner couches.
This will depend on the exact shape and style of your chaise lounge. Most chaise lounges have a unique style that is best appreciated when they are floating in the centre of a room, away from any walls. However, if your chaise lounge is backless, placing it against a wall can provide additional support.
