Experience the perfect blend of style and relaxation with Levede’s Caterpillar Sofa collection. Designed to make a statement, these sofas bring a bold aesthetic and plush comfort to any living space. Whether you're looking for a caterpillar chair, caterpillar couch, or caterpillar lounge sofa, floor sofa, caterpillar sofa this collection offers premium craftsmanship, superior durability, and ergonomic support for modern Australian homes.

What is a Caterpillar Sofa?

A caterpillar sofa is a low, segmented lounge with deep horizontal channels and thick foam that supports your whole body. It sits close to the floor, with no sharp corners or hard armrests, so it feels more like a giant cushion than a traditional sofa.

People call this style a caterpillar sofa, lazy caterpillar sofa, caterpillar sofa chair, caterpillar lounge chair or caterpillar lazy sofa. Sometimes it even appears as catepillar sofa, caterpiller couch or sofa caterpillar in searches – but it all points to the same relaxed, channelled floor lounge.

At Levede, our Caterpillar Sofa range includes floor chairs, 2-seater and 3-seater caterpillar lounges, corner pieces, ottomans and kids’ floor sofas. Each Levede caterpillar sofa is designed for everyday living in Australian homes, from small apartments to busy family rooms.

Why people love Caterpillar Sofas

Caterpillar sofas suit a wide mix of spaces – compact flats, family media rooms, kids’ play spaces and spare rooms. This style keeps showing up in interiors for a few simple reasons:

• Full-body comfort
  High-density foam supports your back, hips and legs so you can sit, lean or stretch out without pressure points.

• Floor-level lounging
  A lazy caterpillar sofa or lazy caterpillar chair is ideal for movie nights, gaming, reading or hanging out with friends on the floor.

• Soft, sculptural design
  The quilted “caterpillar” channels give the sofa a sculpted, puffy shape that adds texture without making the room feel heavy.

• Flexible layout options
  Mix floor chairs, 2-seater and 3-seater caterpillar lounges, corner pieces and ottomans to build a custom floor lounge that fits your room.

If you like low seating and Togo-style sofas but want something practical for daily use, a Levede caterpillar sofa is a straightforward way to bring that look into your home.

Caterpillar Sofa Fabric, comfort and care

Every Levede caterpillar sofa chair is built with comfort and regular use in mind:

• High-density foam
  Helps the channels keep their shape and gives proper support instead of a flat, saggy seat over time.

• Durable upholstery
  Fabrics such as microfibre or leathaire feel soft but are chosen for day-to-day use in living rooms, bedrooms and kids’ spaces.

• Thoughtful construction
  Quilted channels and, on selected models, non-slip bases to help the sofa stay put on hard floors.

Everyday care is simple:

• Vacuum gently with a soft brush to lift dust and crumbs.

• Blot spills straight away, then spot clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaner if needed.

• Always follow the care instructions on the product page for your specific caterpillar sofa.

How to Choose the Right Caterpillar Sofa for Your Home

Selecting the ideal Caterpillar Lounge Sofa depends on your space, style, and comfort needs. Consider these factors when making your choice:

• Room size
  Measure your space so the sofa fits neatly without blocking doors or walkways.

• Seating needs
  Decide whether you need a single caterpillar chair, a caterpillar couch for everyday use, or a larger modular setup for the whole family.

• Colour and texture
  Pick neutral tones for a timeless look or bolder hues to make a statement.

• Pairing options
  Match your caterpillar sofa with a side table, TV unit or accent chairs for a pulled-together room.

A well-chosen caterpillar couch can easily become the most-used seat in the house.

Size and layout tips

Because this collection includes floor chairs, kids’ sofas, ottomans, 2-seater and 3-seater caterpillar lounges and corner units, the simplest way to choose is to start with your room and seating needs.

1. Measure your room

• Measure the total width and depth you can dedicate to seating.

• Leave room for walkways, doors and any existing furniture.

2. Decide how many people you need to seat

• 1–2 people
  Floor chair, lazy caterpillar chair, or 2-seater caterpillar sofa.

• 3–4 people
  3-seater caterpillar lounge plus an ottoman.

• 4+ people
  Corner caterpillar sofa or a mix of 2- and 3-seaters with extra ottomans.

3. Allow breathing space

• Keep at least 20–30 cm between the sofa and walls.

• Leave space for a side table, TV unit or floor lamp so the room still feels open.

You’ll see exact width, depth and height measurements for each caterpillar sofa in the product descriptions. Matching those numbers to your floor plan before you order makes sizing decisions much easier.

Styling ideas for a Caterpillar Sofa

A caterpillar sofa works with many interiors, from soft minimal to playful colour.

• Minimal and calm
  Choose beige, grey or black caterpillar sofas, add a low timber coffee table and a neutral rug for a simple, relaxed base.

• Playful and colourful
  Use pink or mixed-tone caterpillar floor chairs, then layer patterned cushions and a bold throw. This suits kids’ rooms, gaming spaces and creative studios.

• Cosy nook
  Place a single caterpillar chair near a window, add a floor lamp, side table and a plush blanket to create a quiet reading corner.

• Layered lounge
  Combine a 2-seater or 3-seater caterpillar sofa with ottomans and a corner seat to form a sunken-style lounge zone for the whole family.

However you arrange it, a caterpillar lounge sofa softens the room and encourages people to sit closer to the floor, relax and stay longer.

Caterpillar vs regular sofas: pros and cons

When you’re choosing between a caterpillar sofa and a more traditional lounge, it helps to know how they feel and behave day to day.

Advantages of a caterpillar sofa

• More relaxed seating
  A caterpillar sofa sits close to the floor, so you can sprawl, sit cross-legged, curl up or lie back without hard arms getting in the way.

• Softer edges for kids
  The low profile and padded channels mean fewer sharp corners for small kids to bump into, and shorter drops if they roll off.

• Great for casual spaces
  A lazy caterpillar sofa or caterpillar lounge chair suits media rooms, gaming corners, playrooms and relaxed open-plan living.

• Lightweight and flexible
  Most caterpillar pieces are lighter than framed sofas, so it’s easy to shift a floor chair or ottoman to suit movie night, guests or a quick room refresh.

• Statement look
  The channelled, “puffy” profile creates a sculptural focal point that feels more playful and modern than a boxy, high-leg couch.

Trade-offs compared with a regular sofa

• Lower seat height
  Because a caterpillar sofa is floor-level, it can be harder for some people (especially older family members or anyone with knee or hip issues) to stand up compared with a regular sofa.

• Less formal appearance
  The relaxed shape is perfect for casual living, but not everyone wants a floor lounge in a formal sitting room or reception space.

• Less structured support
  A caterpillar sofa uses full-body foam rather than a high backrest and firm arms. If you prefer very upright posture or built-in head support, a traditional sofa may feel better.

• Coffee table height
  Standard coffee tables are designed around regular sofa heights. With a low caterpillar lounge, you may prefer a lower table or side tables that are easier to reach from the floor.

When a regular sofa is the better choice

A more conventional sofa still makes sense when:

• You’re furnishing a formal lounge or guest sitting room.

• Someone in the household needs higher seating for comfort and mobility.

• You want features like recliners or sofa beds built into the frame rather than a floor-level lounge.

For many homes, the sweet spot is a mix: a caterpillar floor sofa in the media room or kids’ zone, and a regular sofa in the main living or formal space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a caterpillar sofa?

A caterpillar sofa is a low, floor-style lounge made from dense foam with stitched channels that run across the seat and back. The “caterpillar” name comes from the segmented, rippled look. It’s made for sinking in, stretching out and lounging close to the floor instead of sitting upright like on a traditional sofa.

What materials are used in Levede’s Caterpillar Sofa?

Levede’s Caterpillar Sofas are crafted with high-density foam for maximum comfort, durable upholstery for longevity, and a sturdy internal frame to ensure long-lasting support.

Is the fabric easy to clean and maintain?

Yes, the upholstery is designed for easy maintenance. Most spills can be wiped away with a damp cloth, and routine vacuuming will help maintain its fresh appearance.

How do I know which Caterpillar Sofa size is right for my space?

Measure your available space and consider how many people will use the sofa. If you need assistance, Levede’s customer support team can guide you in choosing the best fit.

Is a caterpillar sofa comfortable for everyday use?

Yes, a caterpillar sofa is comfortable enough for everyday use. The high-density foam and wrap-around shape suit daily lounging, TV time, gaming and reading. Many people find a caterpillar floor sofa more comfortable than a standard couch because there are no hard arms or rigid edges, and you can sit in several positions without pressure points.

Can you sleep on a caterpillar sofa?

You can nap or sleep on a caterpillar lounge occasionally, but it’s not a full replacement for a proper mattress. The 2-seater and 3-seater models work well as a very comfortable day bed or guest spot for the odd night, but for long-term sleep you should still use a standard bed and mattress.

How do I choose the right size caterpillar sofa?

To choose the right size caterpillar sofa, start by measuring your room and deciding how many people you want to seat at once.

• Floor chair or kids’ sofa – best for one person or small corners

• 2-seater caterpillar sofa – good for couples and compact living rooms

• 3-seater caterpillar lounge – suits family lounges and media rooms

• Corner caterpillar sofa – ideal for larger spaces where you want an L-shaped layout

Then compare the width, depth and height on each product page with your measurements so you know it will fit comfortably.

Is a caterpillar sofa the same as a Togo sofa?

A caterpillar sofa is very similar to a Togo-style sofa but not exactly the same. Both are low to the ground, foam-based and heavily quilted with a sculpted, channelled design. A caterpillar sofa is a modern take on that relaxed, floor-level lounge style, with its own shapes, fabrics and sizing depending on the brand.

Are Levede caterpillar sofas suitable for kids and pets?

Yes, Levede caterpillar sofas are suitable for homes with kids and pets. The floor-level design makes it easier to get on and off, and there are no sharp corners or high arms. The upholstery is chosen to handle regular use and can be spot-cleaned when needed. As with any furniture, basic care helps: trim pets’ nails, avoid harsh cleaners and wipe up spills quickly.

What fabrics are used, and how do I clean them?

Levede caterpillar sofas use dense foam with microfibre or leathaire upholstery, depending on the model.

For light cleaning:

• Vacuum with a soft brush to lift dust and crumbs

• Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth

• For marks, use a mild fabric cleaner and follow the care instructions on the product page

Avoid strong chemicals or soaking the fabric, as this can damage the surface or foam.

Do the sofas arrive flat-packed or fully formed?

Most caterpillar sofas arrive compressed and packaged to make delivery easier and reduce the risk of damage in transit.

Once you unpack your sofa:

• Let it expand back to its full shape (this can take around 24–48 hours)

• Gently smooth out any creases; on some fabrics, a warm iron or steamer used carefully, following the care guide, can help the channels settle

Always check the specific care and unpacking instructions on your Levede product page for the best result.
