Deep-Seat & Oversized Sofas

Is a deep-seat sofa right for you?

Deep-seat sofas give you more room from the front edge of the seat to the back cushion, so you can curl up or sit cross-legged. They suit taller people and anyone who likes to lounge. If you prefer to sit upright, or you are shorter, plan on a couple of firm back pillows so your feet still reach the floor comfortably.

Compare seat depths in our sofa size guide, and cushion feel in cushion firmness and fill. For the softest, most relaxed look, see our cloud couches; if you need firm support for sitting upright, read how to choose a couch with good back support.

Oversized means big

Before you order, measure your room and every doorway, hallway and stair on the way in. Our guide to measuring for a sofa shows how, and the sofa finder checks the fit for you.

Frequently asked questions

What couch is best for tall people?

A deep-seat couch, with a seat depth of about 25–30", supports more of the thigh, and a higher back and a seat height of about 18–20" make it easier to sit and stand. A long sofa or a sectional with a chaise also gives room to stretch out. Compare depths in our sofa size guide.

Are deep couches good for short people?

They can be, with a couple of firm back pillows to bring the back closer so your feet still reach the floor. If you mostly sit upright, a standard seat depth of about 20–22" may suit you better; see how to choose a supportive couch.
