Just as the average height of a person increases over time, so does the average seat height of a sofa. However, the sofa is one of the most commonly used furniture in the home, and its seat height can affect the comfort of the person using it. Consider the height, weight, and age of family members and regulars in order to choose a seat height that will comfortably accommodate them. Let Willows furniture take you to understand the furniture knowledge below.

①18 to 19 inches

Short adults often feel most comfortable in slightly below-average seat heights, especially if they are elderly. When sitting, feet should touch the floor and knees should be bent at a 90 degree Angle to lift from the sofa. When asking for sofa seat height, note that the height is measured from the highest point at the top or center of the cushion.

(2) 20 to 21 inches

For most of today's off-the-shelf sofas, this seat is average height. It can accommodate most healthy adults of normal height and weight. Overweight adults are more likely to compress couch cushions than normal-weight people, and may therefore require higher seat heights. Although this seat height may feel right in most cases, consider the depth of the seat and the tilt of the back for overall comfort.

(3) 22 inches

Some seats are up to 22 inches tall, especially in large sofa designs. People who are at least 6 feet tall tend to use this height because they sit with their knees bent at a more comfortable Angle. Shorter family members who curl up on the couch instead of putting their feet on the floor may also adapt to the height. If family members have a wide range of heights, chairs of other heights may fit them better.

(4) custom

Customised sofas can often be purchased with leg options that change the overall height of the sofa, including the seat. If you want to order a different leg height than the standard foot, sit on the sofa at the same height as the one you arrived at. Even an inch difference in leg height can make a big difference in how you sit on your couch. Instead of custom orders, you might consider using a temporary leg raiser or hat to slightly increase your height.
