COMFORT GUIDE
The defining factors of comfort.
Every detail matters when it comes to comfort. That’s why we are meticulous with everything about our furniture – from the design to the cushions to the fabrics – so you can find your unique comfort.
01. // PROFILE & PROPORTIONS
Distinct forms of relaxation.
The structure of a sofa determines how it looks and sits. As you browse our styles, consider seat height, depth, and seating angle for how a sofa may feel. For instance, seat depth directly affects how you use a sofa – whether cozying up in a deep seat or sitting up in a shallower seat.
Seat Height
Lower seats offer an air of modernity, while taller seats create a more traditional room feel.
Seat Depth
Deep seats present inviting comfort and versatility, and shallow seats provide a slim profile for narrow spaces.
Pitch
Deeper reclines allow you to lean back and relax, whereas less recline is designed to keep you upright and engaged.
