Teachers should really know better than that. Sure it would be a rather relaxing atmosphere at school and what kid doesn't want that? But that would only worsen the problem of kids trying to stay awake during class. Being that comfortable would only make them doze off and not pay attention.
With the older students it would only get worse since it's hard to keep teenagers awake,interested, and engaged in classroom activities.
With that in mind, my classroom would have normal desks and not sofas. Yes the students would be able to use electronics for classroom instruction such as ipads, smart phones, etc. but only when needed and under supervision. The room would be decorated with bright colors and modern furniture to have the kids look forward to being in class and to motivate them.
