5 things You Should Know About a Deep-Seated Sofa

One of the key factors people focus on when buying a sofa is comfort. Your sofa is not only a significant investment, but it’s also the place where you’ll spend your downtime, time with friends and family, a time when you can unwind after a hard day at work.

 

Taking comfort into consideration – if you’re also the type of person who likes to kick off your shoes and curl up on your sofa, or perhaps stretch out to watch a film, then a deep-seated sofa could be the sofa for you!

Here are 5 things you should know about a deep-seated sofa, which may help the decision-making process that little bit easier for you.

 

1.    Sofa Comfort

 

There are varying levels of comfort you can experience when sitting on a sofa but if you like the ‘I’m never getting up from this sofa again’ level of comfort, then a deep sofa is ideal!

 

The difference between a normal sofa and a deep-seated sofa is the depth measured from the front of the cushion to the back. Anything larger than 100cm is classed as a deep seat sofa and it’s the depth that allows you to sink in and fully revel in the roominess provided!

2.    Choice of Style

 

While you may deep-seated sofa limits you in terms of choice, happily this isn’t the case. There is a wide range of styles available, from traditional styles with a more classic shape and feature, to contemporary styles with cleaner lines.

You’ll also have plenty of materials to choose from, with deep leather sofas and deep velvet sofas available alongside the more traditional fabric sofas.

 

3.    Optional Sofa Sizes

 

While choosing a deep-seated sofa does mean you’re selecting a specific depth, it does still give you plenty of options when it comes to length and height!

From a deep two-seater sofa to a deep corner sofa, there is a lot of choice in terms of the size of your sofa, to ensure it fits in with both your living space and your lifestyle.

 

4.    Freedom to Customise

 

The additional benefits of a deep sofa are the space it gives you for more accessories! That extra depth means you can choose that bigger cushion or that extra chunky throw because you have room for it.

Depending on the fabric of your sofa, you can select numerous colours and textures to complement your room and the sofa, using scatter cushions to provide pops of colour.
