The sofa should be comfortable for everyone, therefore it is important to take into account all the nuances.
Standard dimensions
According to the GOST of the USSR, taking into account the anatomical and medical requirements, the optimal sofa height is 44 cm (from the floor to the top point of the seat), the width of the seat per user is 50 cm and the width of the berth – 70 cm (per person).

But, as you know, the Soviet furniture industry did not indulge the population with a variety and today in furniture salons there are models adapted for different dimensions of users, their weight, height and various individual needs. The modern dimensions of the sofas vary, but all the efforts of designers are aimed at creating the most comfortable upholstered furniture.
Modern standards are more variable, but also based on the number of seats and the convenience of each user. So the length of the double sofa starts from 175 cm, trim – from 210 cm, four -seater – from 250 cm, etc.
The dimensions of the corner sofa
In demand, little sofas are in demand, the length of which is 120-150 cm, the depth of the seat is 70-90 cm, the height from the floor to the top of the back is 70-120 cm.
For corner, P-shaped and other forms of sofas, the parameters are calculated by the principle of adding the size of all elements.
Type and purpose of the sofa
The dimensions of upholstered furniture are largely dependent on the functionality of the room where they will be placed. The sofa for the kitchen is less than furniture in the living room, less often equipped with a folding mechanism and is usually a direct model on the legs. If the room of the hallway, kitchen, loggia or balcony allows, a folding sofa for guests is installed.

The advantages of straight sofas include its long service life, since it is enough to buy a sofa with a strong frame and upholstery, and the filler can be replaced over time. The minus of the non -commissioned sofa is limited functionality, it can only be used for sitting or daylight.
Standards for corner sofas
Corner and P -shaped sofas are a hit of sales of any furniture store, as they are often purchased as a full -fledged sleeping place. The length of such a product is measured according to the long part (for corner) or for less honor (for P-shaped). The size range is 140-350 cm, which allows you to choose the desired model for placing any area. The width of the berth is measured along the short part of the angle and varies between 130-200 cm.

Folding sofas
A sofa with a transformation mechanism is the most popular piece of furniture in modern dwellings, as it is often used as a main or additional sleeping place. The size of the folding sofas varies depending on the number of sleeping places (single and double) and the transformation mechanism:
- A sofa for sleeping is selected in length, and the width is calculated by the sum of the depth of the seat and the height of the back.
- Models with the layout forward of the berth is measured in the length of the assembled form, the length of the bed varies within 170-250 cm. In the collected state, such a sofa is compact, and when laying it forms a spacious place to sleep.

Before buying a folding sofa, it is necessary to “try on” it to the available area, and both in assembled and disassembled. The sofa should be placed in a designated place and not interfere with free movement in the room.

Choosing a sofa for individual parameters
No matter how verbose the theory is, we always choose the sofa for specific users. Standard models are designed for people with a tall of 160-170 cm and weighing up to 120 kg. If these parameters exceed the norms proposed by the manufacturer, you can make a sofa to order. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, they follow certain rules:
- select a model in length equal to the growth of the highest user, adding another 40 cm to this parameter
- For people higher or lower than average growth, the standard height of the seat is inconvenient, therefore they select such a model that in a sitting position the user’s legs reach the floor
- The back is responsible for the convenience and support of the spine, low backs do not form support for the shoulders and neck, the best option is a comfortable back with a small angle of inclination back. High and straight backs for a comfortable vacation are not suitable
- The convenient depth of the seat is 50-90 cm and is selected under the length of the legs of the highest inhabitant of the apartment. Even the kids slide from the “small” seats, and too deep does not allow to fully lean on the back.

The best way to choose and buy a sofa is to test it personally. In this case, you will not only orient the size of upholstered furniture, but also evaluate the elasticity and softness of the filling, the quality of the upholstery, inspect the integrity and assembly of the frame, and the quality of the accessories.
