5 Tips for Picking the Most Comfortable Sofa

A guide by Exohom

A sofa isn’t just for sitting — it’s the heart of your living room. It’s where conversations happen, naps sneak in, movies are watched, and memories are made. That’s why choosing a comfortable sofa is about more than just looks — it’s about creating a space that feels as good as it looks.

If you're in the market and wondering how to choose a comfortable sofa, here are five expert-backed tips to guide your selection — plus one bonus tip to make sure you get it right.

1. Prioritize Cushion Support & Material

The real test of comfort starts from within. Whether you prefer the soft sink-in feeling of feather-filled cushions or the firm support of high-resilience foam, understanding what’s inside your sofa is key. For those who crave the best of both worlds, memory foam is a game-changer — offering support that contours to your body.

At Exohom, we use only premium cushioning materials to ensure every sofa feels inviting, whether you're sitting for five minutes or five hours. Not sure if you need plush or firm? It all comes down to lifestyle — do you lounge, host, or nap? We help you decide.

2. Consider the Sofa’s Depth & Height

Seat depth and back height are often overlooked, but they make all the difference. A deeper seat (around 22–24 inches) is perfect for those who like to lounge or curl up, while a shallower seat offers more support for upright sitting.

Back height matters too — taller users may prefer higher backs for neck support, while low-profile designs offer a sleeker look for modern interiors. With Exohom’s custom sofa dimensions, you’re not limited to standard sizes — we tailor your comfort.

3. Test the Frame and Build Quality

Even the plushest cushions can’t save a poorly built frame. A solid sofa starts with a durable structure — kiln-dried hardwood, reinforced joints, and robust suspension systems (like sinuous springs or webbing) that hold up over time.

Our sofas at Exohom are built to last — crafted with expert precision using high-quality materials that form the foundation of both comfort and longevity. This is where comfort meets craftsmanship.

4. Choose Upholstery That Feels Good

Comfort isn’t just about the cushion — it’s also what touches your skin. Whether it’s the warmth of velvet, the breathability of linen, or the durability of performance fabrics, your upholstery choice sets the tone for your experience.

Exohom offers a wide palette of luxury fabrics and materials to suit every preference — soft, textured, cool, smooth, or stain-resistant — all carefully sourced to complement both form and function.

5. Match Comfort with Your Lifestyle

Your ideal sofa depends on how you live. A family home might need a large sectional with easy-clean fabric, while a more formal setting might call for a sculpted three-seater in luxe upholstery. Planning to nap? Opt for wider arms or deeper seats. Hosting guests often? Go for modular seating that adapts.

At Exohom, we don’t just sell sofas — we help you find one that fits your lifestyle, not just your space.
