Comfort is one of the most important factors when choosing a sofa, but many people do not realise that comfort depends heavily on seat depth and seat height.
Seat depth determines how you sit on the sofa. A shallow seat depth is suitable for upright sitting, while a deeper seat allows you to lounge and relax more comfortably.
Here is a simple guide to sofa seat depth:
| Seat Depth | Comfort Type |
|---|---|
| 50–55cm | Upright sitting |
| 55–60cm | Standard comfort |
| 60–70cm | Lounge comfort |
| 70cm+ | Bed-like comfort |
Seat height also affects comfort. If the seat is too low, it may be difficult to stand up. If the seat is too high, your feet may not rest comfortably on the floor. The ideal seat height for most people is between 40–45cm.
When choosing a sofa, always consider proportions, not just design. A well-designed sofa should support your back while allowing you to relax comfortably.
