How To Pick The Right Sofa Recliner Size

If you are planning to buy furniture online, these are the ways you can select the best recliner size without trying it out in person.

Taking your body's measurements using a tape measure is a smart first step. You need to measure the distance from your heel to the knee and then from your heel to the tailbone. These numbers will inform the seat height and seat depth that will fit your body the best.

Average Sofa Recliner Sizes

Seat Height

Seat height is one of the most important aspects of any sofa (when it comes to comfort, anyway). And when picking a recliner sofa, it's essential to consider the proportions of who will be using it. The most common measurement is 18 to 19.5 inches, but you can find heights as high as 22 inches.

Depth

The depth of recliner sofas usually ranges between 35 to 40 inches; however, it can go as high as 45 inches if you're looking for something a little more relaxing. You can read more about the depth of sofas in our blog to ensure your guests will always be comfortable when sitting on your sofa recliners.

Width

The most important dimension because this often dictates how many people a sofa recliner will seat. You'll want something in the 85 to 90-inch range for a three-person sofa. However, if you want something smaller, a 60 to 65-inch wide recliner sofa will seat two people with reclining seats comfortably.
