The Best Sofas and Sectionals with Adjustable Backrests

A popular feature in Europe for several years, a sofa with an adjustable backrest gives you the ability to enjoy a deep lounging sofa when you want it, and a more comfortable sofa to sit on the majority of the time. We've looked at several double sided sofas with entirely moveable backs previously, but that model isn't for everyone. Here we'll look at sofas that have fixed yet moveable backs offering a formal and lounging seating solution. We offer several sofa designs incorporating moveable backs whether you want a small sofa, large sectional, or even a recliner. Here are some of the most popular sofa designs with adjustable seat backs.

Egeo Sofa by Nicoline Italia

The Egeo is easily the most popular version of this concept. It is a remarkably comfortable sofa in either orientation. With the seat back, Egeo presents a deep lounging space perfect for sinking in during a movie and is one of the most comfortable sofas we offer with the seat back in the upright position. Made in Italy and available in a sophisticated set of leathers and fabrics, the Egeo features minimal tufting designed to hold the upholstery nicely in place.
