Seat height is easy to overlook, but it matters a lot when elders, tall people or anyone with knee pain use the sofa. A higher seat is easier to sit on and rise from; a low seat looks relaxed and modern. Here's how to choose. All products are 30% off with free delivery across India.

High vs low seat at a glance


  • Higher seat: easier to stand up from; good for elders and tall people.

  • Lower seat: lounge look; feels relaxed but takes more effort to rise.

  • Our listed height: 19 inches from floor to seat on our 3 seaters.

  • Arms: firm arms help anyone pushing up to stand.


When a higher seat makes sense


Choose a higher, firmer seat if parents or grandparents live with you, if anyone has knee or hip pain, or if the family is tall. Our firm vs soft sofa guide explains why firm foam helps too.


When a lower seat makes sense


Choose a lower seat for a young household, a casual lounge room, or a low modern look with a low coffee table.


How to check seat height


  1. Measure from the floor to the top of the seat cushion.

  2. Sit down: knees should be about level with hips.

  3. Stand up without using your hands to feel the effort.

Frequently asked questions


  • What is the seat height of your 3 seater sofas? Our 3 seater sofa pages list a floor-to-seat height of 19 inches.

  • Is a high seat sofa better for elders? Often, yes. A higher seat means less bending of the knees and hips when sitting down and standing up, especially with firm arms to push on.

  • Who likes a low seat sofa? Low seats suit a relaxed, modern lounge look and people who like to stretch their legs out. They are harder to get up from.

  • Can I order a different seat height? Every sofa we make can be custom-sized and takes about 7 working days to make. WhatsApp us your preferred seat height.

  • Do sofa arms help elders? Yes. Firm arms at a comfortable height give something to push against when standing up.
