Take into account the configuration of your living room when making your choice

The way your living room or living room is arranged is an integral part of choosing your corner sofa bed. To do this, assess the available space, taking into account not only the length and width of the living room, but also the location of doors, windows and other furniture.

A sofa that is too large can clutter the space, while one that is too small risks looking lost in a large room. Think about circulation around the sofa: leave enough space for easy passage.

Also consider the orientation of the sofa to optimize the view of the television or the fireplace and promote conviviality during your family or friend gatherings.

Choosing the right dimensions for your corner sofa

Many factors must be taken into account when it comes to choosing the dimensions of your corner sofa bed : terms of use, available dimensions for your corner armchair, armrests or other desired accessories... Here are some elements to help you choose:

  1. Measure the space available in your interior: before purchasing, carefully measure the area where you plan to place the sofa. Remember to consider depth and height, not just length. Also consider the space needed to move around the sofa.

  2. Think about functionality: think about the main use of your corner sofa. Think about all the features of your sofa bed to fully understand the use you want to make of it. If it will accommodate many guests, opt for one of the larger dimensions. If space is limited, avoid choosing items that take up space, pay attention to features such as armrests or even the chaise longue.

  3. Consider the layout of the room: the sofa should match the other furniture and not block openings like doors and windows. The shape of the angle (right or left) must also be chosen according to the layout of the room.

  4. Project it into your space: use adhesive tape to mark the measurements of your future sofa on your living room floor. This will help you visualize the space it will occupy and better understand the layout as a whole.

  5. Consider aesthetics: beyond measurement, think about the style, color and material of your sofa. The latter must fit into the general aesthetic of your living room and thus integrate harmoniously with your decoration so nicely chosen by you.

Measure the dimensions of a corner sofa

Tools to have at your disposal for measuring your corner sofa

The best method to measure the space for your corner sofa is to use a measuring tape.

Then, note the dimensions of the space needed for your corner sofa, taking into account the structure of your furniture: coffee table, the different openings, windows, etc.

A spirit level can also be useful to check the horizontality of the floor, thus ensuring the balance of your sofa.

Overall dimensions: measure the sofa as a whole

The overall dimensions are the maximum dimensions that the sofa measures taking into account all its external elements (seat, armrests, feet, etc.)

To measure these dimensions, you must first measure the total length of the sofa from end to end.

Next, you need to measure the depth of the corner sofa from the front to the farthest back, while including the armrests in your measurements if they protrude from the main body of the sofa.

Finally, measure your convertible product to its highest point, usually the top of the backrest. If the sofa has removable cushions that extend beyond the back, include them in your calculations.

Measure the dimensions of your sofa seat

To measure your sofa seat dimensions, focus on the width, depth and height of the seat.

To do this, measure the horizontal distance from one armrest to the other, like the overall dimensions method.

Then, to determine the seat depth, measure from the front of the seat to where it meets the back. A deep seat would mean a wider space to sit comfortably.

Finally, measure from the floor to the top of the seat cushion. Proper seat height is crucial for comfort, especially in terms of ease of sitting and getting up from the sofa.
