Frequently asked questions.
What is a good seat height for a tall person?
When we work with taller customers to get the perfect sofa size for their height and build, the height of the sofa is usually between 18-20 inches from the ground. Generally speaking, for every extra three inches of height, an extra inch is added to a sofa's back.
What is the best seat depth for a tall person?
The minimum seat depth for a tall person is usually between 24-26 inches to accommodate longer legs and we can deepen the seat of almost all of our sofas.
Can I add more seat height and depth to my sofa?
Yes! All of our sofas are made-to-measure, and we can adjust back, seat dept,h and even cushion depth to give you the most comfort possible.
How important is correct height and depth for tall people?
Relaxing on a sofa at home should be all about the person's comfort, and that's why it's so important to get a sofa with adequate support, which often isn't found in standard-sized sofas for individuals over 6ft. A properly made-to-measure sofa around an individual's height means they have the comfort and support they deserve.
How do I choose the right sofa for a tall person?
Not only can we work around measurements to accommodate height and depth, but our sturdy wooden frames also have a 30-year guarantee, can be upholstered in over 3,000 fabrics, and we can even adjust the cushions (firmer, softer, extra-deep) to cater to the needs of taller people. At our showroom, we can help you explore our different ranges to see which style suits you first.
Can I order online?
Sadly not. Due to the bespoke nature of our furniture, plus the thousands of fabrics and hundreds of leathers we offer, it is impossible to offer this service online. We prefer that customers visit our showroom, sit on different models, take time selecting the right fabric or leather and choose the right cushion comfort to ensure that they get their perfect sofa and that they are delighted with it when it is delivered.
