Most Comfortable Couches Custom Made For You

Written by: Tony Hoang

As a sofa manufacturer our mission is to make each and every sofa the most comfortable for the person buying it. Everyone has their own unique preference as what they deem comfortable. That could be a soft sink in feel of your seat and back cushion, or could be going extra deep to have more room for your kids and pets, or lounging on a chaise and watching your favorite movie or tv show.

What Makes A Couch Comfortable?

Seat depth, seat height, back pillow filling, seat cushion & fabric texture and feel are all subjective aspects that determine the most comfortable sofas. There is a wide range of density and firmness when it comes to seat cushions, which can be crafted from a variety of synthetic materials such as wool, down fill, or foam core. While some like nothing more than to settle into a plush couch, others are more comfortable with a more rigid, supportive couch.


When you shop for a couch at What A Room, you can personalize it to your exact specifications, ensuring that it is the most comfortable sofa for you.

We could not be more thrilled with our new couch. It is exactly what we wanted. It fits the space perfectly and is of the quality we were hoping for/expected.

Customer Review By Anthony Z

This comfy couch turned out perfectly! Steven was so helpful in answering all of our questions and they were able to customize the dimensions perfectly to fit our space. I highly recommend them! When deciding on firmness, we struggled which one to choose because we were not able to sit on the couch. We went with “Soft” and it is perfect. It a bit firmer than most “soft” couches but that’s exactly what we were looking for and we learned that while talking with Steven.

Customer Review By Helen N
The sectional, oh my ***, beautiful! We absolutely love it, it's soo comfortable, soft & deep. The pillows that came with it is also lovely with detailed stitching. I love the fabric material that the couch is made out of, it's velvet-like and soft. All of the couches from What A Room is made in California and of high quality. You know it when you sit and touch any of their couches. There's a lifetime warranty with all of their couches, which means that they last for a long time. Most places will never offer that kind of warranty since they would be out of business within a year.

Customer Review By Helen N

Absolutely love this couch! I had been searching for a while to find a company that seemed trustworthy and a couch design that could truly be customized. Other companies had horror stories of not having furniture delivered, wrong fabrics, mismatched fabrics and terrible customer service. I was nervous because I live in Florida so had to do this sight unseen. After reading other reviews I contacted what a room. They sent fabric samples quick. Steven was responsive answered all my questions throughout the process and they delivered a couch beyond my expectation. Dimensions cushions fabric everything I was looking for.

I was always surprised how quickly he would respond to emails! He even helped expedite the shipping process for us. The whole experience was wonderful and I am so happy.

How to Choose The Most Comfortable Couch?

Couch Seating Depth

Choose your seat depth based on how you like to sit. If you sit upright with your feet on the floor, aim for a seat that supports your thighs and keeps your knees at a 90-degree angle, with your feet flat on the ground. People between 5'5" and 5'11" might find 21" to 22" deep seats comfortable. Taller individuals could go for 23" to 25", while shorter people might prefer around 20".


If you like to sit more relaxed, like curling up, consider a deeper sofa. Add a few inches to the standard size for extra comfort, especially if you plan to use many accent pillows. For even more space, think about getting a sectional.

Consider the Seat Height

If the seat height of a couch is significantly incorrect, those who are taller may have a sensation of stooping rather than sitting, while those who are shorter may discover that their legs are suspended above the floor.

It's not uncommon for the seat depth and seat height to have an inverse connection, whereby a lower seat height is associated with a higher seat depth, and conversely. The typical range for seat height is 17" to 19". The standard range for couch total height from floor to back cushion top is 16" to 32". However, this might vary somewhat from one model to the next.

Seat Cushion Firmness & Filling

Because everyone has different couch preferences, What A Room lets you select the sofa that feels best for you. Some want a firm cushion that supports and keeps in shape, while others prefer a softer cushion that feels like resting on a cloud but needs frequent fluffing.

Our soft foam cushion provides comfort and flexibility for lengthy sit-downs. High-quality foam molds to your body and relieves strain on crucial regions. It feels like sinking into the cushion, not simply sitting. Our medium foam cushion is ideal for a compromise. It retains its form while providing adequate support to avoid sinking. It's great for posture without compromising comfort. However, the strong cushion supports. It's ideal for back sufferers and those who want a strong, sturdy sensation, making you feel like you're sitting on the cushion rather than sinking into it. This firmer choice, like mattress foams, ideal for individuals who require more support.

Our premium plush down-fill cushions are firmly packed with white goose down and feathers for a luxuriant & super cozy feel. Their fluffy appearance adds softness, and they adapt to your body for comfort and support. An occasional fluffing keeps them happy.

How to Buy the Most Comfortable Sofa?

What A Room enables customers to fully customize their sofas and sectionals. With over 10 styles and 8 different configurations—including sofa, sofa with chaise, L-shaped couch, bumper chaise sectional, U-shaped sectional, and double chaise sectional—you have a wealth of options to tailor your sofa to your exact comfort preferences. You can select the length, width, seat depth, and cushion firmness of your sofa (options include soft, medium, firm, and down fill). Choose from 200+ fabrics (such as velvets, weaves, performance fabrics, leathers, and microfiber), various leg options, and more.
