Both staples of outdoor furniture, backyard benches and sofas both bring seating aplenty and give your garden that indoor/outdoor feel. But what is the optimum seating option - a sofa or a bench? Largely, it depends on your personal preference and what type of backyard you have.
'Both outdoor sofas and outdoor benches have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the two largely depends on personal preference, as well as the intended use and space available in your outdoor area,’ says Emma Putrimas, vice president of project and design for Teak Warehouse.
