The Best Deep Seat Sofas for Naps and Movie Nights

Brentwood Deep Sofa

"Now more than ever, people need to be comfortable at home and really nestle into a sofa. This means a deeper seat," explains interior designer Penelope Francis.

1. 7th Avenue: Extra-Deep Seat Modular Couch

7th Avenue White Sofa

Brand: 7th Avenue Modular
Depth: Extra-deep 47"
Price: Starting at ~ $2,950

We're starting our list with what we know as one of the best performing modular couches on the market. Oh! And they come with 47" extra-deep seating, which is surely going to check the "deep-seat" box for anyone.

7th Avenue’s modular sofas are designed for relaxing, yet are incredibly durable to stains, spills, and pet markings. Its deep seats and memory foam blend cushions are incredibly comfortable and perfect for lounging with the fam. And if the life does give you lemons, use it to make a lemonade and spill it on this couch. We assure you nothing will happen as cleaning is as simple as wiping it with a wet cloth. We made a video about that!

The sofa is available in a handful of color choices including: Pure White, Natural White, Charcoal Black, and Mist Grey, and several Performance Velvet options. Each fabric is water-repellent and stain-resistant — designed to easily withstand your favorite lemonade, coffee, ketchup, and even red wine, its a major flex in our book.

“I really love our 7th Avenue sofa, so much so that I would and have recommended it to others,”

writes Marah Eakin, who reviewed the 7th Avenue sofa for Living Cozy. “I think it’s well-priced for what you’re getting and I love that you can transition it from space to space, design style to design style.”

Offer: Use code LIVINGCOZY10 for 10% off sofas and sectionals

The Kova has been one of best sellers on the market, due to it's respected and classy style, a selection of stain-resistant fabrics, and most of all, one of the best bang for your buck deals (especially with our discount ☝️).

The Kova's modular design makes it incredibly versatile, so you can add new pieces or reconfigure the sofa's layout anytime. Throw in an ottoman and you can easily switch the orientation of the L-shape from left to right and vice-versa.

Albany Park pays a lot of attention to customer feedback and they've recently updated Kova with a new anti-slip technology that keeps the cushions in place. Additionally, the company added more stuffing into the back pillows to give you a better back support. They've also updated their gauge material which improves resiliency and makes fluffing and flattening a thing of the past.

Check out our video review of the Kova below: 

Albany Park offers Kova in variety of color choices, including velvets, and stain resistant fabrics. Its removable seat cushions are filled with a cloud-soft, feather-fiber blend for the utmost comfort.

"Because the pieces are modular, I can rearrange them if I want to change the room's look. Or I can add more pieces. I love having options,"

writes Sibylla Nash, who reviewed the Kova sofa for Living Cozy. "Most importantly, it offers the perfect level of comfort for sprawling out with remote in hand and settling in for some serious binge-watching."

What to Consider When Buying a Deep Couch

1. Cushion Space as Well as Overall Depth

"Not everyone always sits upright with both feet on the floor. If you want cozy, knees up comfort to binge-watch your favorite television series or cuddle with your sweetie you are going to love a deep-seated sofa," says Dennese Guadeloupe Rojas of Interiors By Design.

Rojas also notes that you should pay attention to the actual seat measurements, alongside the overall sofa depth when shopping for a deep-seat sofa. "To avoid anyone falling on the floor during family movie night with multiple family cuddlers, you need at least 23 to 24 inches of cushion space per person on your family sofa. If you or your family members are tall, you would appreciate the benefits and comfort of a deep-seated sofa," she says.

Need some tips on how to ensure your new sofa will fit? Check our guide on how to measure sofas here.

2. The Type of Couch You Need

Seat depth is just a part of the equation when you're looking to find a new sofa. You should also consider the type of sofa that will work best in your living space and cater to your needs.

For example:

  • If you love sitting back and watching sports, maybe you'll want a reclining sofa
  • If you frequently have visitors, a sleeper sofa/sofa bed could be what you're looking for
  • If you have pets or young children, a slipcovered sofa could work best so you can easily remove and clean the covers

Before starting your search for the perfect sofa, you should also the upholstery that's best suited to your style and needs. For example, if you're buying something to be the centerpiece of your room maybe you'll want to splash on a velvet or leather sofa, or if you want something that's easy to clean a high-quality microfiber sofa or a sofa with removable covers could be better.

3. Your Living Space

Whether your sofa is going to be the feature piece of your main living space or a complimentary sofa in a dining room or home office, can have a big impact on what you buy.

Not only should you measure your space to ensure you have enough room for your desired sofa, you should also think about how a new sofa will fit with your current home decor and living room furniture — especially other key pieces like your coffee table or media unit.
