Scatter Back Sofas vs Standard Back Sofas
How does a scatter-back sofa compare against a standard sofa with fixed-height backrests?
- Aesthetic — scatter-back reads relaxed; standard back is more formal.
- Cushion arrangement — scatter-back cushions can be rearranged; standard back is fixed.
- Maintenance — scatter-back cushions need plumping; standard back doesn't.

- Cost — similar across both styles from the same range.
The choice between scatter-back and standard back usually comes down to room use and personal preference for casual styling.
