A sofa that looks perfect in the showroom can feel wrong at home in a week. Most of the time the reason is depth: how far the seat goes back decides whether you sit upright, curl up or sink in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure the person, not the room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sit on a dining chair with your back straight and measure from the back of your knee to the wall behind you. Add 10\u201315 cm for cushions \u2014 that is the seat depth that will feel natural. Taller people usually prefer 60 cm and more; shorter people often find anything over 55 cm too deep without extra cushions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three depths, three ways to sit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compact, 80\u201388 cm overall: upright and tidy, good for small living rooms and reading. Classic, 90\u201395 cm: the everyday sweet spot for most homes. Lounge, 100 cm and more: for curling up, napping and movie nights \u2014 but it needs a room at least 4 m wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
