A sofa gets used every day by everyone in the house, so it deserves more thought than anything else in the living room. Seldens carries sofas from Stickley, Ekornes, Jonathan Louis, Rowe and Flexsteel, split almost evenly between fabric and leather, plus power reclining sofas for households that want motion.

How Seat Depth Changes Who a Sofa Suits

Seat depth decides comfort, and it is the spec most people skip. A deeper seat rewards anyone who likes to curl up or stretch out, but it leaves shorter sitters perched with no back support unless you add a pillow behind them. A shallower, more upright seat is easier to get out of. Sit in both. Frame and spring construction matter too. Eight-way hand tied and sinuous spring systems both hold up, but they feel different under you, and that difference only shows in person.

Fabric and Leather Ask Different Things of You

Fabric gives you far more color and texture, and performance weaves handle kids and dogs better than you would expect. Leather does not hide wear so much as absorb it, softening and darkening where you sit until the sofa looks like yours. If you want a piece that looks the same in year ten as it did in year one, fabric with a removable cover is the safer path. Anchor either with a coffee table and an area rug big enough to sit under the front legs.
