How to Select the Right Sofa Based on Seat Height, Depth, and Configuration & Fill

Updated over a month ago

Seat Height:

  • Low: 14"-17" A lower seat height provides a more casual modern sit.

  • High: 18"+ A taller seat height tends to feel slightly more formal

Seat Depth:

  • Shallow: 20"-23" A narrow seat depth can feel more upright and formal.

  • Deep: 24"+ A deep seat depth can be loungier and more inviting.

Cushion Configuration & Fill:

  • Tight Upholstered: Tight upholstered seats and backs have a foam and fiber fill. They typically have a soft sit with a more structured feel.

  • Loose Cushions: Our loose seat cushions consist of foam with a feather blend creating a more plush, relaxed sit. Back and throw pillows are typically all poly fill or feather. Extra throw or lumbar pillows can also add more support.
