A comfortable couch is the anchor of any home, and if you have the space, an extra-deep sofa is the way to go. It's so luxurious to lie back and cuddle up without needing an ottoman to rest your feet. An extra-deep sofa is perfect for families and binge-watchers alike — or anyone who prioritizes comfort and a lounge-worthy experience.
To help you find the perfect roomy sofa for your apartment or house, interior design expert Gil Walsh told PS her expert tips on the qualities to look for during your search. Why Buy an Extra-Deep Sofa? A deep sofa not only makes your living space feel cozier, but it also serves as a functional piece of seating. "Taller people appreciate extra-deep sofas as they are able to sit more comfortably given their height and length of their legs," Walsh explains.
Extra-deep couches are also worth the splurge for those with a habit of sleeping on the sofa and, according to Walsh, "anyone that wants a supreme amount of space to lounge on and has a large enough to house an oversized sofa without it looking out of place." What to Look For When Buying a Deep Couch There are many key factors to consider when investing in furniture, most notably size, fabric, style, function, and cost. For an extra-deep couch, Walsh recommends one with a seat depth of more than 25 inches.
"But be mindful of the height," she warns. "If you're on the taller side, be sure the sofa isn't close to the ground, which would make it difficult for you to get on and off." When consider.
