What type of sofa is most comfortable?


It all comes down to personal preference, but in my experience, there are certain areas that can influence the overall comfort factor of your sofa.


First and foremost, you need to identify your typical sofa habits (e.g. slouching, putting your feet up, sitting up straight, half slumped) . Ask yourself how you typically use your current sofa and what you like about it. This will help you decide on the type of style you would like.


Secondly, the size of your sofa is crucially important, not just because you want it to fit your home, but because it needs to be able to accommodate you and your needs.


The last thing you want is a sofa you can’t stretch out on, is too deep for your feet to touch the floor or is to upright for you to feel properly relaxed.


You also need to consider the fabric of your sofa. Tactile materials, such as velvet, velour and chenille are super soft to touch compared to more functional materials, such as leather, polyester and linen, but may be a little more difficult to clean and maintain.



What is the most comfortable seat depth for a sofa?


It depends on how short/tall you are and where your body sits in line with the sofa, but generally speaking, the average seat depth is between 21 and 24 inches.


If you prefer to sit upright on your sofa, then a depth of around 20 to 22 inches is going to be the most comfortable.


However, if you prefer to really stretch out, then a seat depth of around 23 to 26 inches will allow for ultimate lounging! 


Tips for choosing a comfortable sofa


  1. Check the measurements work for your room
  2. Make sure it’s made from a fabric that you find comfy - ask for free swatch samples! 
  3. Select your back cushions – they can be fixed or scatter back (i.e. removable)
  4. Make sure the style’s 100% right for you – e.g. the back and arms aren’t too low or high
  5. Look for any ‘extras’ that may add to the comfort factor – e.g. reclining or swivel functionality or matching footstools
