Standards and variations in sizes of corner sofas of all popular shapes

Double upholstered furniture

A two-seat sofa can be a small compact model. The length varies from 150 to 250 cm, depth - from 90 cm. It should be noted that miniature models are most often not intended for proper rest. In the premium segment, these are beautiful sofas for offices, billiard rooms, halls, or for an additional soft area in the living room. In our model range you can choose compact sofas with a built-in full-fledged sleeping place. Furniture for lying down is at least 2 meters, and one-and-a-half sizes of increased comfort have a length of 220–250 cm and a depth of more than 100 cm.

Standard sizes

Any corner sofa consists of two parts: main and side. As a rule, the first is 50% longer than the second. The side module is one piece with the main one; extremely rarely it can be attached. There are standard sizes of sofas: from 230 to 280 cm in length - the main element, from 150 to 180 cm in width - the side part. However, on the modern market you can see furniture of other sizes. Compact models reach a length of 203 cm, large ones – 406 cm. It is also possible to create a custom-made product according to individual drawings.

The dimensions of the sofa also depend on the transformation mechanism. The most popular are:

• "Eurobook";
• "French folding bed";
• “roll-out transformer”;
• "dolphin";
• "pantograph".

The dimensions of the corner sofa with the Eurobook transformation type are 180–220 cm for the main part and 115–140 cm for the side. The French folding bed is characterized by the following parameters: 130–186 cm – the main element and 50–80 cm – the side one. A roll-out transformer is considered one of the most convenient. The dimensions of this type of sofa are 160–220 cm for the main part and 80–120 cm for the side part. The dolphin, characterized by the longevity of the mechanism, has dimensions of the side part of 150–200 cm and 98–170 for the side element. Pantographs are corner sofas with parameters of 180–235 cm for the main part and 105–140 for the side.

The most convenient and reliable mechanism is considered to be the “dolphin”, the most short-lived is the “French” or “English clamshell”.

The height of the sofa also matters. Usually it is 50–150 cm. Products that are too tall can block part of the window, which should be taken into account when choosing. Another important parameter is the depth of the sofa, which directly affects the comfort of using the furniture. Its value is 50–90 cm.

L-shaped

This is a standard type of corner sofa, where the side part is 2 times shorter than the main one. Such furniture is often used to zone a room. It also allows you to harmoniously play out the corner space. This is a multi-purpose option that works well for a rectangular room. Most of the designs are supplemented with special niches for storing linen, which increases the comfort of use. Standard sizes of sofas of this type can range from 200 to 210 cm for the main part. If square meters are limited, it is possible to choose a more compact option. Then the dimensions of its base will be 170–180 cm. The width in both cases is 120 cm.

U-shaped

These are large-sized products that are rarely chosen for an apartment, since they require a large area. As a rule, they are larger in size than standard ones. The main part is 280–405 cm. In this case, the side elements can have the same or different dimensions. This parameter varies between 110–190 cm. Models resembling the letter P are ideal for large halls. They allow you to create the effect of an enclosed space and are also used for zoning a room.

Modular

Individual segments of such furniture can be arranged at the discretion of the owners. Moreover, each of them carries its own functional load. Useful area is freed up due to the ability to adjust the length of the product. The standard version is characterized by a length of the main part of 230–300 cm. Corner elements can be made in the form of armchairs, poufs or small sofas. Their sizes vary from 95 to 145 cm. A special feature of the models is the ability to shape the dimensions at your own discretion, so a modular piece of furniture can be placed in the living room of any parameters. Most sofas are complemented with drawers, tables, shelves and other useful elements.

Round and semicircular

Products in the form of a circle or semicircle look original and beautiful. Their feature is a streamlined shape and the absence of sharp corners. The dimensions of the corner sofa for the living room can be both small and large. Such furniture can be installed in the kitchen or children's room. It is ideal for filling a bay window area. It can also be placed in the center of the room. The standard height of sofas in the form of a circle or semicircle ranges from 75–90 cm. Small products can have a length of about 230 cm, large ones - up to 405 cm. As for the circle, this is not such an ergonomic shape, so it is recommended to install furniture in rooms no larger than less than 25 m2. Their main part is 300–405 cm. The height of the back of the radius sofa is at least 90 cm.

When choosing round and semicircular designs, it is recommended to use objects and furniture with smooth lines in the interior.

Three seater sofas

There are elite straight sofas with a length of 300 cm, but common sizes are 260–270 cm. Therefore, roomy two-seater models are more popular - they are almost as large and at the same time compact. But a three-seater sofa is most often modular. You can add a section, and this is an additional 50–70 cm in length. If you place a pouf on the side, you get a spacious canape.

Dimensions of corner sofas for the living room, bedroom and other rooms

Sofas with a corner design are quite often purchased for the kitchen. They provide additional seating, a sleeping area or can be used for storage. The sizes of such models are very diverse. Durable materials with water-repellent properties are used as upholstery.

A folding corner sofa will be an ideal solution for a living room combined with a bedroom

Since the kitchen is a limited space, the use of sofas is allowed, the central part of which is much smaller than most models. Their size is about 1.9 m. Such modifications do not have a folding mechanism, so they can only be used to organize additional seating.

Sofas in the bedroom for children are compact in size. The dimensions of these structures depend on the presence or absence of a transformation system. If the model folds forward, its length will be 1.7 m. Sofas that fold out lengthwise may be larger.

Sometimes the length of such products reaches two and sometimes three meters. Children's sofas have bright colors and allow you to create a comfortable place to sleep in the room, saving space for games. It is advisable that materials made from natural fibers that are easy to clean are used as upholstery.

The sizes of corner sofas for the living room or bedroom are the largest. Most often, the length of structures is 2.3-2.8 m, although there are also larger products. Basically, such models have the ability to transform, allowing you to create a spacious place for sleeping, accommodating unexpected guests for the night, or permanent rest of the owners.

Sofas for living rooms and bedrooms are covered with woven materials. Latex made from foam rubber is used as filling. Thanks to this material, the sofa acquires orthopedic properties, becomes hypoallergenic and breathable.

Corner sofas are suitable not only for the home, they are widely used for furnishing office premises where it is necessary to design areas for various purposes:

Dimensions of corner sofas and prices: photos of designs with different transformation mechanisms

When choosing a sofa in a furniture store, you may be faced with a huge price range, and the gap between the minimum and maximum cost of products can amount to tens of thousands of rubles.

This difference is explained by the fact that many factors influence the formation of the price of a sofa:

Variant of sizes of a corner sofa with a transformation mechanism “Eurobook”

• transformation mechanism;
• structural design;
• product configuration;
• upholstery material;
• the degree of reliability of the frame and the material from which it is made;
• dimensions of the sofa and the size of the sleeping place.

Models equipped with “Book” and “Click-Click” transformation mechanisms are considered relatively inexpensive. American and French “folding beds”, as well as sofas such as “Accordion” and “Dolphin” have a more complex structure, so their price is much higher. In general, it is justified, since the listed designs are more convenient to use, comfortable and have expanded functionality.

Note! The more complex the transformation mechanism, the higher the cost of the sofa.

If we consider the upholstery material, the price categories are distributed as follows:

1. Inexpensive - jacquard fabrics and cotton.
2. Average price category - flock, eco-friendly leather, velor, chenille.
3. Expensive - animal skins and genuine leather.

The category of budget products includes sofas with a frame made of chipboard and plywood. More expensive designs have a metal or wooden frame. Products made from birch, spruce and pine will cost less than sofas made from valuable wood.

The price of a corner sofa will depend on the design, mechanism, upholstery, dimensions and quality of the frame

The shape of the sofa and its configuration are of considerable importance. Standard size models in a classic design are more affordable. Sofas designed by professional designers are more expensive.

The relationship between sofa sizes and cost: product prices

Since the price is influenced by various factors, when buying a sofa you need to consider all the features of the models you like.

Optimal height and depth of sofas

The backrest is a support for the spine, so its height needs to be given special attention. The top line at 60 cm from the floor is suitable only for children's models. A sofa for a living room should have a back wall height of at least 70 cm. There is also taller furniture, from 90 to 100 cm. For the area near the window, you need a model with a height of no more than 80 cm or with lowering headrests, otherwise the back will overlap the window sill.

The depth of upholstered furniture varies from 100 to 150 cm. Narrow sofas are uncomfortable for relaxation, so premium upholstered furniture factories produce models with increased depth. A sunken seat is the best option for relaxation. Here the spine needs special support, so backrests with an anatomical curve (tilt angle of about 110°) or removable backrest cushions that can be moved to adjust a comfortable position are relevant.

Transformation mechanisms in corner sofas: photos of large, medium and small designs

The built-in transformation mechanism allows you to get a comfortable bed from a corner sofa for the living room; the size of the sleeping place depends on the folding method. The most popular models are those equipped with the Dolphin transformation system. In these designs, the sleeping area is located under the seat. To get a bed, you need to roll out this block and then lift it a little. The width of the berth will consist of the width of the roll-out section and the width of the seat itself.

Designs with the Dolphin transformation mechanism have different sizes. These are mainly corner sofas with a sleeping area of ​​160x200, 158x222 and 115x210 cm.

In the corner sofa "Accordion" the width of the berth corresponds to the length of the assembled structure

In sofas with the “Eurobook” mechanism, the seat moves forward, and the backrest is lowered into the space freed up after this. In such models, the width of the berth is formed from the height of the backrest and the width of the seat, and its length corresponds to the length of the latter. With small dimensions of the sofa, equal to 132x210 cm, the size of the seating area is 130x190 cm.

The “French folding bed” transformation system is much less common in corner sofas. It is an unfolding mechanism. The sleeping place in the structure is stored rolled up. During transformation, this part unfolds and moves forward. Typically, the length of this block is 200 cm.

The principle of operation of the “Accordion” transformation mechanism resembles the movement of the bellows of an accordion. The width of the berth corresponds to the length of the assembled sofa, and its length can reach 200 cm. The most common models have a seating area size of 195x140 and 195x120 cm.

Corner sofas with a Dolphin transformation mechanism can have different sizes

Note! The minimum permissible length of a seat designed for two people is 1.2 m. However, sofas measuring 1.9 m are considered comfortable. In such models, the seats will be comfortable for people of different sizes.

How to choose upholstered furniture by size

Furniture design has virtually no effect on comfort; it creates the atmosphere: an expensive leather sofa makes the interior look solid, while textile upholstery creates an aura of comfort. To create a comfortable soft zone, you need to rely on the dimensions of the furniture.

The more spacious the sofa, the more comfortable the rest. So if the living room is spacious, buy a corner modular sofa of the largest possible size and a mini sofa as a set. Just don't block the passages. There should be 50, or preferably 70, cm around the furniture, including when unfolded. Please note that when transformed, “Eurobook” type furniture becomes twice as wide, and the sleeping area is extended along the wall. The roll-out sofa folds forward and increases by 120–150 cm.

A compact straight sofa is a common choice for a small room. Based on the norms (50 cm per person), a model with a length of 1.8–2 m will be enough for a married couple and a child. But, in fact, this is not so. A double sofa, even at 2.5 m, is intended for a maximum of two people, otherwise you will have to huddle. The choice for a family is a three-seater model, preferably a corner one. Despite its massive appearance, a corner sofa can save space. Just place it in the corner of the room.

On our website you can buy a premium sofa in any size. There are double, triple and corner upholstered furniture. Almost all sofas are modular; upon request, we will customize the layout to suit the area and geometry of your living room.

Non-standard designs

Modern technologies used in furniture production allow consumers to choose products of non-standard sizes. The width of the corner sofa in this case will be from 70–90 cm. This is the necessary norm for comfortable use. As for the height, it is usually 2 times less than the width of the bed. Traditionally, the height of sofas from the floor is 75–100 cm. But the length and width in non-standard designs can be less or more than standard ones, as manufacturers try to best meet the needs of users. Such furniture can be divided into several main groups. Dimensions of folding sofas can be as follows:

Small-sized structures are most often installed in the hallway or kitchen. They provide comfortable accommodation for one person. They are usually equipped with a transformation mechanism such as “Eurobook”, “dolphin” or “tick-tock”. Small sofas are characterized by slightly larger dimensions; they can be placed in a child’s room. Medium pieces of furniture when disassembled can provide sleeping accommodations for two people. Their dimensions largely depend on the width of the armrests. Large structures are most often created according to individual orders. Their cost is high, so the products are classified as elite class. Separately, it is worth highlighting radius-type models, which are an arc. They can consist of a solid frame or be made in the form of modules. Dimensions depend on the number of seats. For example, a three-seater sofa is characterized by a length of 190–200 cm. At most, such structures can accommodate up to 10 people.

How does a sofa book fold and unfold?

Transforming furniture with a book mechanism into a spacious sleeping area is as easy as shelling pears. You need to hold the seat frame, tilt the backrest and press the seat until it clicks a second time, unfolding it into a bed position.

When unfolding the sofa, you do not need to move it away from the wall, but when installing it, you should take into account that you need a small gap between the wall and the backrest.
