How We Chose These Sofas
As lower-profile sofas have become more popular, more options have come to market, making the right choice has become increasingly difficult. That’s why we put together this list to help you narrow down your search.
Our team has had first-hand experience reviewing a number of the sofas included on this list. Alongside our own experience with sofas, we look for:
- Quality: The first thing we look for is how well-made a sofa is. We focus on the materials used for construction, how and where a couch is manufactured, and any warranty or guarantees the brands offer.
- Comfort: This might just be the most critical factor for a sofa. But not everyone views “comfort” as the same thing. Some prefer a harder cushion, others want deeper seats, etc. We do our best to choose options that will work for most people, but make sure you know exactly what you want before deciding.
- Sustainability: Sustainability is top of mind for many consumers these days, and at Living Cozy, we love brands that source materials locally, use sustainable and ethical practices, and actively work to reduce waste.

What is a Low Profile Sofa?
"Low-profile sofas are the same as traditional sofas but have a lower back," explained Karen Gutierrez. "This feature makes them a perfect piece for small spaces. They're also a great choice if you want to create the illusion of more space in your home, especially for spaces with low ceilings. Plus, they're often more affordable than traditional sofas."
It's hard to say no to a sleek-looking sofa that takes up less room than a traditional sofa, with twice the style. This is especially true since low-profile sofas often come at a lower price point while helping to make your home feel larger. In addition, they're available in a wide range of styles and colors, so there's an option for every home.
"A low profile sofa is a perfect way to add a little extra dash of uniqueness and sophistication to your space," Tiffany Barqawi told Living Cozy. "These fun and stylish sofas are becoming more and more popular as their low backs give a clean, modern look while also serving as a practical design element in your space."
One important consideration with low-profile sofas is accessibility. While the standard seat heigh for sofas is 15-20” many of the low-slung sofas featured here are under 15”. Those with mobility issues may have a hard time getting on and off the couch.
What are the Benefits of a Low Profile Sofa?
Low-profile sofas are popular for more than their looks — they can give you an edge with your interior design. We asked the experts about the benefits of one of these modern sofas, and here's what they had to say:
- Grounded and Comfortable: "Low Profile Sofas are a more grounded variety of your regular couch," said Stacy Lewis. "The lower height and often wider seating give it a comfortable appearance, perfect for lounging. They're an excellent option for anyone looking for something that will provide comfort and style."
- Excellent for Small Spaces: "These sofas are designed to be thin and compact, making them ideal for small spaces," added Lewis. "They take up less room than traditional-style couches. In addition, these kinds of sofas have the potential to make your room appear bigger with their short stature, subtle design, and simple structure."
- Creates a Taller, More Cohesive Look: "If your ceilings are lower, a low profile sofa can make your space feel taller and airier," commented Barqawi. "With less back height, the space also won't feel so divided. For example, placing your sofa towards the center of the room or using it to divide two spaces will allow your eye to gaze past the sofa and create cohesion. Sometimes less really is more."
You don't need a small space to enjoy the benefits of a low-profile sofa, either. The low back also makes it easy to give your home a contemporary touch that will feel modern and stylish.
