Standard Loveseat Size

It seems straightforward, right? Sofas sit three people; loveseats sit two.

Not so fast! You have more loveseat size options than you may realize. There is no standard loveseat size: some sit two, some sit just one, and some are as wide as six feet while others barely reach four feet. The variety gives you options for the perfect piece for your space.

Here are some basics of loveseat measurements we've covered in these frequently asked questions:

Loveseat Size & Dimension FAQs

You'll discover loveseats in various lengths, but don't judge a loveseat on its measurements alone. The type of cushion, style, and shape impact how much room each loveseat allows for seating. Be mindful to select a loveseat that fits your space and provides enough seating for guests.

Even though the width can vary, the height of a loveseat cushion is relatively standard. Most loveseats have a height of 20" or 21" above the floor, and the exception is a compact twin-sized loveseat, which sits a bit higher at about 28" tall.

Regarding the width, however, the type of cushion on your seat—whether it's overstuffed or sleek—will impact how high it feels to the one sitting on it.

If the sizes above are larger than what you need, consider another option: apartment-sized loveseats. These are perfect for smaller spaces and older buildings, offering the same style but with scaled-down sizing to fit through tight hallways and not overwhelm smaller rooms.

Apartment-sized loveseats are as small as 30" deep and 58" wide. What's the secret to keeping a loveseat style while cutting down its size? The back cushion is smaller, allowing the size of the piece to be compact while the seat remains comfortable.
