What Furniture Does Citylife Furniture Sell?

Our range covers furniture for most major areas of the home, but some categories have considerably more choice than others.


Sofas & Recliners

Sofas and recliners are one of the largest parts of the Citylife Furniture range.

Depending on your room size and how you use your lounge area, you can explore:

  • 1 seater recliners

  • 2 seater sofas

  • 3 seater sofas

  • 4 seater sofas

  • 5 seater sofas

  • Recliner sofa sets

  • Corner sofas

  • Chaise sofas

  • Sofa beds

  • U-shaped sofas

  • Lift chairs

  • Home theatre-style recliner seating

Our sofa range includes both fabric and leather options, together with fixed, manual reclining and electric reclining designs.


Recliner Sofas – One of Our Main Specialties

If comfort and reclining functionality are important, our Recliner Sofas & Suites collection is a good place to start.

Citylife Furniture carries different recliner configurations, including:

  • Manual recliner sofas

  • Electric recliner sofas

  • Dual-motor recliners

  • 2 seater recliners

  • 3 seater recliners

  • Corner recliner lounges

  • Recliner sofa sets

  • Selected home theatre configurations


Manual or electric recliner – which should you choose?

A manual recliner uses a lever or handle to operate the reclining mechanism and can be a straightforward choice if you want traditional reclining seating.

An electric recliner uses powered controls, which can provide smoother positioning and allow you to stop the recliner at different positions.

Selected dual-motor recliners provide additional adjustment by controlling different sections independently.

The right choice depends on:

  • How frequently you recline

  • How much adjustment you want

  • Your room layout

  • Access to a power point

  • Your preferred seating comfort

  • Your budget


Corner Sofas & Chaise Lounges for Family Living

Corner and chaise sofas can be particularly useful in larger living rooms and open-plan homes.

They can provide:

  • More seating than a standard straight sofa

  • A place to stretch out

  • Better use of corner space

  • A defined lounge zone in an open-plan room

  • Storage on selected models

  • Reclining functions on selected lounges

  • Sofa-bed functionality on selected models

Citylife's range includes L-shaped sofas, chaise lounges, corner recliners, modular designs and selected U-shaped configurations.

Before buying a corner or chaise sofa, check:

  • Overall width

  • Overall depth

  • Left or right chaise orientation

  • Walkway clearance

  • TV position

  • Door and window locations

  • Delivery access into your home


Sofa Beds for Flexible Living Spaces

A sofa bed can give you everyday seating together with additional sleeping space when required.

Our sofa-bed collection includes different sizes and configurations, including:

  • Compact 2–3 seater sofa beds

  • Larger 4–5 seater sofa beds

  • Chaise sofa beds

  • Storage sofa beds

  • Pull-out sofa beds

  • Recliner sofa beds

  • Larger U-shaped sofa-bed configurations

Compact models can work well in apartments, guest rooms and home offices, while larger sofa beds can suit family living areas where more seating is required.

When choosing a sofa bed, consider:

  • Closed sofa dimensions

  • Fully opened dimensions

  • Sleeping surface

  • Seating capacity

  • Storage

  • Chaise direction

  • How frequently the bed will be used

  • Access into your home

For more detailed advice, read our Sofa Bed Buying Guide.


How Do I Choose the Right Sofa Size?

Start with your room rather than starting with the sofa.

A sofa that looks appropriately sized online can feel very different once placed in a room.

Consider a 2 seater sofa if:

  • Your living room is compact

  • You're furnishing an apartment

  • You need secondary seating

  • You're creating a smaller conversation area

Consider a 3 seater sofa if:

  • You want versatile family seating

  • You have a medium-sized living room

  • You want a traditional straight-sofa layout

Consider a 4 or 5 seater sofa if:

  • You have a larger household

  • You regularly entertain

  • You have an open-plan living space

  • You want more room to stretch out

Consider a corner or U-shaped sofa if:

  • Maximum seating is important

  • You have a large living room

  • You want to define an open-plan lounge area

  • You frequently have family or guests together

Always check the actual dimensions rather than relying only on the nominated seating capacity.


Massage Chairs in Brisbane

Massage chairs are another area where Citylife Furniture has a specialised range.

We are a Brisbane stockist of Feel Good Massage Chairs, with the current five-model range available to compare at our Sumner location.

Customers can explore massage chairs offering features that vary by model, such as:

  • 3D and more advanced massage systems

  • Dual-core massage mechanisms

  • SL-track movement

  • Body scanning

  • Zero-gravity recline

  • Air compression

  • Heating

  • Foot and calf massage

  • Automatic massage programs

  • Adjustable massage intensity


Can I try a massage chair before buying?

Yes. The current five Feel Good Massage Chair models offered by Citylife Furniture are available for demonstration at our Sumner showroom.

Trying different chairs can help you compare:

  • Massage intensity

  • Seating comfort

  • Controls

  • Massage mechanisms

  • Reclining positions

  • Automatic programs

  • Individual features

This can be especially useful because massage technology labels alone don't always explain how a chair will actually feel.


Bedroom Furniture for Complete Rooms

Citylife Furniture's bedroom range includes individual furniture as well as coordinated bedroom packages.

You can explore:

  • Bed frames

  • Mattresses

  • Bedside tables

  • Tallboys

  • Dressers

  • Storage beds

  • Bedroom packages

  • Selected kids bedroom furniture

Bed frames are available across sizes including:

  • Single

  • King Single

  • Double

  • Queen

  • King

Depending on the product, features can include:

  • Upholstered headboards

  • Gas-lift storage

  • Drawer storage

  • Timber construction

  • Fabric upholstery

  • USB charging

  • Coordinated storage furniture


Bedroom Packages – An Easier Way to Coordinate a Room

A bedroom package can be useful if you're furnishing a complete bedroom and prefer matching furniture rather than choosing every piece separately.

Selected Citylife ranges include:

  • 3 piece bedroom packages

  • 4 piece bedroom packages

  • Larger coordinated package options

Depending on the collection, a package may combine a bed frame with pieces such as:

  • Bedside tables

  • Tallboys

  • Dresser tables

  • Dresser and mirror combinations

Always check the individual product listing because package inclusions vary between collections.

A bedroom package can be particularly useful when you want:

  • Consistent colours

  • Matching materials

  • Coordinated design

  • Bedroom storage

  • A simpler buying process


Dining Furniture for Everyday Meals and Entertaining

Dining furniture needs to suit both your household size and the amount of available floor space.

Citylife's dining range includes:

  • Dining sets

  • Dining tables

  • Dining chairs

  • Bar stools

  • Counter chairs

  • Round dining tables

  • Rectangular dining tables

  • Extendable dining tables

Complete dining sets can be useful if you want a coordinated table-and-chair combination.

Different sizes can suit different households, including:

  • Compact 5 piece dining sets

  • Larger 7 piece dining sets

  • 9 piece dining sets

  • Extendable options for flexible seating

When choosing a dining table, think about how many people use it every day, rather than buying solely for the occasional large gathering.


Living Room Furniture Beyond the Sofa

A living room often needs more than seating.

Our Dining & Living collection also includes:

  • TV units

  • Entertainment units

  • Coffee tables

  • Side tables

  • Console tables

  • Buffets

  • Sideboards

  • Bookcases

  • Desks

How do I coordinate different living-room pieces?

Your furniture doesn't need to come from exactly the same collection.

Instead, look for common elements such as:

  • Similar timber tones

  • Related colours

  • Matching finishes

  • Similar shapes

  • Repeated materials

Start with the largest pieces — usually the sofa and TV unit — then use coffee, side and console tables to bring the room together.


Outdoor Furniture for Queensland Living

Outdoor areas are an important extension of many Brisbane and South East Queensland homes.

Citylife's outdoor range includes:

  • Outdoor lounges

  • Outdoor sofas

  • Outdoor armchairs

  • Outdoor dining sets

  • Corner outdoor lounges

  • Extendable outdoor dining sets

  • Compact outdoor settings

Outdoor lounge or outdoor dining set?

Choose based on how you primarily use the space.

An outdoor lounge may suit:

  • Relaxing

  • Casual entertaining

  • Conversation areas

  • Patios and covered outdoor spaces

An outdoor dining set may suit:

  • Family meals

  • Outdoor entertaining

  • Larger gatherings

  • Homes with dedicated dining patios

Before purchasing, measure the outdoor area and check the individual product's materials and care instructions.

What Should I Check Before Ordering Furniture Online?

Before placing an order, take a few minutes to check the practical details.


1. Measure the room

Check:

  • Available width

  • Available depth

  • Walkways

  • Doors and windows

  • Existing furniture


2. Check the actual product dimensions

Don't rely only on descriptions such as:

  • 3 seater

  • Queen

  • 7 piece

  • Large

Always compare the actual measurements.


3. Measure delivery access

Large furniture may need to pass through:

  • Front doors

  • Hallways

  • Tight corners

  • Staircases

  • Lifts

  • Internal doorways


4. Check orientation

For furniture such as chaise lounges and corner sofas, make sure you select the correct:

  • Left chaise

  • Right chaise

  • Reversible configuration


5. Check what is included

This is particularly important with:

  • Bedroom packages

  • Dining sets

  • Modular sofas

  • Furniture packages


6. Check the material

Consider whether the product suits:

  • Everyday family use

  • Children

  • Pets

  • Cleaning requirements

  • Indoor or outdoor use


7. Check availability

Products may be:

  • In stock

  • Low stock

  • Pre-order

  • Online Exclusive

  • Available in selected options only

Check the individual product page for the most relevant information.


Which Furniture Should I Choose for My Home?

A simple buying process is:

Room → Available space → Furniture type → Size → Function → Material → Colour → Delivery access

For example:

Living room

Start with:

Sofa size → fixed or reclining → straight, chaise or corner → material → colour

Bedroom

Start with:

Bed size → storage requirements → individual pieces or package → mattress → available room space

Dining room

Start with:

Household size → table shape → number of seats → fixed or extendable → available clearance

Outdoor area

Start with:

Dining or lounging → available space → number of seats → materials → care requirements

This approach makes it much easier to narrow a large furniture range without becoming overwhelmed by individual products.
