Sofas with Unmatched Comfort

No matter what material or style you choose from, each of our custom sofas is designed to provide you with maximum comfort. To help ensure this level of comfort and luxury, we fit each of our living room sofas with channeled polyester fill-back cushions, encased pillow cores, and fully upholstered cushions and arms. We also have office studio sofas to add style and comfort to your workspace as well.

Durable Living Room Sofas Built To Last

The men and women who build Bassett living room sofas continue to strive to meet and exceed the commitment to quality that has characterized the Bassett tradition for over 100 years. Our craftsmen are meticulous from end to end, from assembling the frame to stitching the material. To help ensure high performance, longevity, and maximum support, we make each Bassett custom sofa with drop-in coil or sinuous wire foundations, thicker laminated hardwood, and an interlocking frame design.

Fabric & Leather Sofas

To match your tastes and preferences, you can choose from a wide range of colors, textures, performance fabrics and leathers. With hundreds to choose from and various design styles, your options are nearly endless when customizing your fabric or leather sofa.

Loveseats and Sofas for Small Spaces

If you need a loveseat to accompany your living room sofa or want a smaller sofa to fit your apartment or studio loft, Bassett has numerous styles and sizes of loveseats, small sleeper sofas, and sofas for small spaces to choose from to fit your space and style.

The average size of a modern living room sofa is from 5' to 6' wide and 32" to 40" in height. A good rule of thumb is to allow one foot of space around your sofa to accommodate traffic and legroom.

If you're looking for a sofa that will grant you a little more sitting space than average, you can opt for something longer from 87 " to 100" or go extra-long one with a length of over 100". A standard sofa measures 25" deep, although most sofas have a depth ranging from 22" to 26".

Sofa Widths

Even though most sofas have a width between 70" and 96", a standard three-seater sofa measures between 70" and 87" in length. The average and most common sofa length is 84".

Sofa Heights

Sofa height is the distance from the ground to the back top of a sofa; this can range from 26" to 36" in height. The high-back sofas are structured with a traditional back angle, while low-back sofas feature a modern style, usually at a different angle.

Sofa Seat Depths

Sofa seat depth is the distance between the seat's front edge to the seat's backside. A standard depth is around 25" on average, although most sofas range from 22" to 26". For average-height individuals, the standard depth of 20" to 25" works great, whereas taller individuals may find best results with a little more depth. Deep-seat sofas have a seat depth of 28" and 35," while extra-deep ones have seat depths over 35". Read more in our blog about the depth of your sofa.
