Sofa dimensions · 4-seater sofa

4-seater sofa dimensions: 240–300 cm (94–118 in)

A 4-seater sofa is 240–300 cm wide (94–118 in, about 8–10 ft), 95–110 cm deep (37–43 in) and 80–100 cm tall (31–39 in). Between the arms that is 200–260 cm of seating: four adults sitting, two lying down. Past 300 cm makers usually stop making straight sofas and switch to sectionals. The ranges are what the market sells, not a standard anyone enforces.

Where 240–300 cm fits

A straight 4-seater needs a wall of 280–320 cm and a room of 20 m² and up, and it needs the doorway on the delivery route to pass its diagonal: a 280 cm sofa with a 100 cm depth does not turn into most flats’ corridors in one piece. Check whether the model is delivered in two sections before you buy. If the wall is shorter than 300 cm but the room is deep, a corner sofa gives the same four seats on less wall. Under it a 9×12 (274 × 366 cm) rug carries all legs; an 8×10 catches the front ones.

Width is measured across the arms

As with every sofa, the listed width includes both arms, 8–25 cm each depending on the style. A 260 cm 4-seater with rolled arms has about the same seating as a 230 cm 3-seater with slim ones. If four seats are the point, count the cushions, not the centimetres.

Frequently asked

How wide is a 4 seater sofa in cm?

Usually 240–300 cm across the outside of the arms, which is 94–118 inches or 8–10 feet. Straight sofas rarely go past 300 cm; beyond that they become sectionals.

What are the dimensions of a 4 seater sofa in feet?

About 8–10 ft long, 3–3.6 ft deep and 2.6–3.3 ft tall. A 270 cm model, the common middle, is 8 ft 10 in.

How much space do you need for a 4 seater sofa?

A wall of 280–320 cm (110–126 in), 60–90 cm of walkway in front and a room of about 20 m² and up. Also check the delivery route: the sofa’s diagonal has to pass every door.

Is a 4 seater sofa the same as a sectional?

No. A 4-seater is straight; a sectional (corner sofa) turns the corner and reaches the same seat count on a shorter wall. Many 4-seaters are sold as two-piece so they fit through doors.
