There may seem like a small variety of shapes and sizes for sofas these days, but there's actually no shortage of unique pieces available. Whether it's an l-shape sectional or a small loveseat, there are so many options to choose from. One of our current favorite silhouettes is the floor sofa. We've been seeing a lot of low-profile designs going viral on our social feeds lately, giving us all plenty of interior design inspiration. They're stylish, trendy, and comfy, too, which makes them optimal for lounging. What exactly qualifies a floor sofa? As opposed to conventional sofas with legs, these cushions have a thin base layer that rests directly on the ground. There are both pros and cons for these low-profile silhouettes. Some pros: they are stylish, easy for pets to jump on, and they have that cool movie-lounge-like feel. However, in terms of cons, people who have back pain, experience posture issues, or have trouble leaning over, might need to consider a different type of silhouette. Getting up and down from these floor sofas can be hard on the back. If the pros appeal to you, then you want to think about the qualities you want your dream one to entail. What to Look For When Buying a Floor Sofa The perfect sofa has to fit into your room, so first thing first, be sure to measure your space. There are a number of lengths to choose from including shorter two-seaters and larger sectionals, so consider the inches you have to work with. The material is also something important to consider; you can go with a durable choice like polyester, or a stylish statement option like velvet or leather. The right material for you depends on your needs, household, and whether you have pets or not. Lastly, the price is one of the most important considerations. There are so many great designer finds and also more affordable picks from direct-to-consumer brands. Whether you prefer something minimalist and sleek or casual and comfortable, whether you want the flexibility of modular designs or the functionality of storage options, there is a floor sofa out there to suit your needs. Ahead, shop our top picks for the best floor sofa for your home. - Additional reporting by Krista Jones Related: 9 Wide Couches Made For All-Day Lounging

Shopping for beauty products can be fun, but it can also add up fast. No matter how good they make you feel (or look), no one looks forward to seeing the credit card bill post- Ulta or Sephora trip. However, you can save on your beauty routine by using your FSA (flexible spending account) and HSA (health savings account) on beauty products that are eligible. Enrolling in either of these programs allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for certain medical expenses and conditions, like over-the-counter medications and even skin-care products. To help you make the most of your FSA or HSA benefits and shop strategically, we enlisted the help of NYC-based board certified dermatologist Nithin Reddy, MD, to break down the benefits, what types of products qualify and why, and how to optimize your shopping list. We also included some of the best FSA and HSA-eligible skin-care products you can stock up on with your funds, including a few of our editor-backed picks. What is the difference between an FSA and an HSA? In order to fully take advantage of these benefits, it is helpful to understand what exactly FSA and HSA accounts are and the differences between them. Both FSA and HSA benefits let you set aside pre-tax money to spend on healthcare costs, but there's an annual contribution limit for an FSA that you can specify during your enrollment period, according to Dr. Reddy. He points out that employers usually offer FSAs, and HSAs are contingent on enrolling in a high-deductible health plan. "One of the main advantages of an HSA is that it is portable, staying with the account holder through job transitions," Dr. Reddy says. "Other HSA advantages include higher contribution limits, rollovers, investment opportunities, and flexible withdrawals. It is crucial to thoroughly review the terms and conditions, contribution limits, and qualified expenses with both types of accounts to determine their suitability for your needs." How can beauty products qualify for the tax-free benefit? Dr. Reddy says that while beauty products alone may not qualify as FSA/HSA eligible, those containing ingredients proven to treat medical conditions - like acne, eczema, or in the prevention of skin cancer can be eligible for FSA/HSA coverage. "For instance, over-the-counter retinol, a well-known antiaging ingredient in many beauty products, is in many acne treatments, making it eligible for FSA/HSA funds," Dr. Reddy says. "Similarly, blemish correctors that contain salicylic acid, another effective ingredient for treating acne, often qualify as FSA/HSA eligible." Along with acne treatments, sunscreen is also eligible since they help prevent skin cancer. He also notes that some moisturizers can qualify for the benefit if they help with eczema management. "If there is any doubt about a specific product's eligibility, it is always advisable to first consult with your account administrator," he says. How can consumers take advantage of their FSA/HSA benefits for beauty products? "Any products labeled as FSA/HSA eligible can be purchased using your FSA or HSA account, providing a convenient way to manage your healthcare expenses by offering tax savings," he says. Sites like Sephora, Target, and Amazon have specific sections you can shop from that filter the products that are eligible for the benefit. "I recommend carefully assessing your skin-care routine to identify which products may qualify for coverage. Consulting with your local dermatologist can help you develop a tailored skin-care routine that caters to your specific skin conditions," Dr. Reddy says. He recommends swapping products that aren't covered by the benefit with FSA/HSA-eligible items but warns not to overspend on non-essential items if you can help it. Ahead, we rounded up the best beauty products you can get using your FSA or HSA benefits.

Noting that her bedroom is her sacred space, she likes to keep it uncluttered and light. "I prefer neutral colors. They're softer on the eyes and on the mind," she says in the promotional video. As a neutral girl myself, I knew this collection would be a great fit for my personal aesthetic as well. But the line is also versatile, whether you have a contemporary bedroom, a farmhouse space, or a boho abode.
