A sofa is inevitably one of the largest items in your living room, and it can set the foundation or make a statement that can be designed and styled around. Therefore, it is critical to consider the practicalities as well as the aesthetics of your sofa because it will be used on a day-to-day basis.
However, it can be easy to focus on design over comfort when shopping for a new sofa. But you need to think of your use of the sofa, for example, you want it for cozy lounge sessions, collapsing into a good midday snooze, movie night hosting, or more.
Whatever your use is, there are some basics that you need to consider regarding the anatomy of a sofa that you will be exploring in this blog. So, read on.
The ideal back height of a sofa depends on your height. A typical back height for a comfortable couch ranges from 26” to 32” to feel more supportive. However, if you plan to place a TV in front of the sofa, consider how you’d like your back supported.
In addition to impacting the overall sofa anatomy, the back height also impacts how comfortable the furniture feels in your space. If you have standard ceiling heights, consider how a tall back sofa with a higher-profile sofa might feel in your room versus a low-profile one. It all depends on how much space you have to work with and your preferences.
Consider whether you’re someone who prefers the look and feel of something firmer or who likes to sink into your sofa. There are several filling options in the market, ranging in firmness, density, and fluff, including high-resilience poly foam and a down-wrapped poly foam for extra squish and softness.
Choose sofas with fluffy pillows, a solid frame, and padded arms for extra softness.
Poly foam provides a medium level of firmness with luxurious and exceptional comfort. Classically comfy, this 2.5 lb. high-resilience foam is ultra soft yet supportive.
However, you can also opt for adding down to this poly filling, to create a more relaxed look, but in that case, you might sink a little more than a straight foam cushion.
Finding the right seat depth is one of the most critical elements of a couch’s anatomy. It starts with thinking about how you like to sit, for example, do you like to tuck your legs in, or if you like to sit with your feet on the floor.
If you like to sit upright, you’ll likely respond well to a seat depth that keeps your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, supports your thighs, and allows your feet to comfortably touch the floor.
For example, for a person between 5’4 and 5’10, a seat depth of 21″ to 22″ will allow plenty of clearance between the front edge of the seat and legs. However, for a person taller than this, a seat depth of 23″ to 25″ is a good option, and for a smaller person, a seat depth of about 20″ would work well.
Moreover, if you like to curl up rather than sit straight, a deep sofa would be great for you as you will have some extra room. However, if you plan to add a lot of accent pillows, start by adding a few inches to the standard measurements to provide that extra support.
In conclusion, the anatomy of a couch includes so many factors like filling, seat height, depth, and much more. However, it is crucial to consider all these factors if you want something comfortable and high-quality.
