Sofa Size Guide & Dimensions Chart

Sofa size is best checked using the published product measurements, not the seat-count name alone. Two sofas sold as a 3 seater can have different overall widths, depths and heights because their frames, arms and backs are different. This guide brings the current published M&H Living sofa dimensions into one place so you can compare models before ordering.

For room planning, start with the sofa's overall footprint, then check its height, seat height and the route into the room. M&H sofas are handmade, so finished dimensions may vary slightly from the published measurements as a result of normal manufacturing tolerances.

How to use this guide: Compare the published sofa footprint with your available floor space. For corner, L-shaped and U-shaped sofas, measure every side of the finished layout. If you need a bespoke sofa length, a non-standard fabric or a confirmed product weight, contact M&H before ordering.

What Sizes Are M&H Sofas?

Across the current M&H collections that publish straight-sofa widths, 1 seaters run from 105 to 120 cm, 2 seaters from 152 to 170 cm, 3 seaters from 180 to 229 cm and published 4 seater widths from 235 to 290 cm. These are current M&H product measurements, not fixed UK sofa-size standards.

“Not currently published” means the current M&H product or collection information does not provide that measurement, so no figure has been estimated. Because M&H sofas are handmade, finished dimensions may vary slightly from the published measurements as a result of normal manufacturing tolerances.

What Size Is the Westmere Home Cinema Sofa?

The Westmere Home Cinema Sofa has a published footprint of 275 × 183 cm, with a back height of 79 cm and a seat height of 41 cm. Because the Westmere uses a different measurement format from the standard straight-sofa collections, plan with its complete footprint rather than treating it as a standard 3 or 4 seater.

As the Westmere is handmade, finished dimensions may vary slightly from the published measurements as a result of normal manufacturing tolerances.

What Size Are the M&H U-Shaped Sofas?

M&H currently offers two U-shaped models with different published footprints. The Hartwell Convertible U Shape Sofa measures 160 × 280 × 160 cm, while the Langford U Shape Sofa measures 195 × 335 × 195 cm.

Both models publish a back height of 65 cm, total height of 85 cm, listed depth of 90 cm and seat height of 45 cm. When planning the room, mark the centre run and both returns rather than measuring only one side.

Because both sofas are handmade, finished dimensions may vary slightly from the published measurements.

How Do You Read Sofa Dimensions?

Sofa measurements describe the overall space occupied by the sofa and, where published, dimensions relating to the seating position. For room planning, use the overall measurements. Seat height and seat depth are more relevant when comparing how the seating position differs between designs.

Measurement What it means Why it matters
Overall width / length From the outer edge of one side of the sofa to the outer edge of the other. Shows how much wall or floor width the sofa occupies.
Overall depth From the furthest back point to the furthest front point. Shows how far the sofa projects into the room.
Overall height From the floor to the highest published point of the sofa. Helps with room scale and access planning.
Seat height From the floor to the top of the sitting surface. Shows how high or low the sitting position is.
Arm height From the floor to the top of the arm where that measurement is published. Can help when comparing the sofa with side tables and other room furniture.
L-shaped footprint The two main runs of the L-shaped layout. Both runs need to fit the planned floor area.
Corner footprint The two main spans of the corner layout. Both sides need to be considered when planning the room.
U-shaped footprint The centre run together with the two returning sides. All three sides affect usable floor space and circulation.

What Are M&H Sofa Sizes in Feet and Inches?

M&H publishes every sofa measurement in centimetres. The table below converts the published straight-sofa widths into inches, feet and metres so you can compare them against a tape measure marked in imperial units. The centimetre figure is the published measurement; the others are conversions of it.

Published width Inches Feet and inches Metres Where this width appears
105 cm 41.3 in 3 ft 5 in 1.05 m 1 seater
110 cm 43.3 in 3 ft 7 in 1.10 m 1 seater
120 cm 47.2 in 3 ft 11 in 1.20 m 1 seater
152 cm 59.8 in 5 ft 0 in 1.52 m 2 seater, narrowest published
160 cm 63.0 in 5 ft 3 in 1.60 m 2 seater
165 cm 65.0 in 5 ft 5 in 1.65 m 2 seater
170 cm 66.9 in 5 ft 7 in 1.70 m 2 seater, widest published
180 cm 70.9 in 5 ft 11 in 1.80 m 3 seater, narrowest published
195 cm 76.8 in 6 ft 5 in 1.95 m 3 seater
200 cm 78.7 in 6 ft 7 in 2.00 m 3 seater, most common
229 cm 90.2 in 7 ft 6 in 2.29 m 3 seater, widest published
235 cm 92.5 in 7 ft 9 in 2.35 m 4 seater, narrowest published
240 cm 94.5 in 7 ft 10 in 2.40 m 4 seater, most common
290 cm 114.2 in 9 ft 6 in 2.90 m 4 seater, widest published

The recurring depth and height measurements convert as follows: a 90 cm depth is 35.4 in or 2 ft 11 in; an 80 cm overall height is 31.5 in or 2 ft 7 in; a 45 cm seat height is 17.7 in or 1 ft 6 in; and the 40 cm Chelsea Line seat height is 15.7 in or 1 ft 4 in.

Convert once, at the start. Measuring the room in centimetres and then comparing against a figure converted in your head is where most ordering mistakes begin. Because M&H sofas are handmade, finished dimensions may vary slightly from the published measurements as a result of normal manufacturing tolerances, so treat a conversion that lands within a centimetre of your available space as too tight.

What Size Is a 1 Seater Sofa?

Current published M&H 1 seater widths run from 105 to 120 cm across the collections that publish a single-seater measurement. Depth varies by design, so a narrower sofa is not necessarily the shallowest model.

Shop 1 Seater Sofas

What Size Is a 2 Seater Sofa?

Current published M&H 2 seater widths run from 152 to 170 cm. Somerset and Soho publish 152 cm two-seater widths, while several collections publish 170 cm. Compare the published width with your available wall space and then check the depth of the chosen model.

Shop 2 Seater Sofas

What Size Is a 3 Seater Sofa?

Current published M&H 3 seater widths run from 180 to 229 cm. Somerset and Soho publish 180 cm, Amelia and Clara publish 195 cm, many collections publish 200 cm, while Majestic and Scarlet publish 229 cm.

A seat-count label alone does not provide enough information for room planning, so compare the published dimensions of the specific collection before ordering.

What Size Is a 4 Seater Sofa?

Where a current M&H 4 seater width is published, measurements run from 235 to 290 cm. Amelia and Clara publish 235 cm, several collections publish 240 cm, while Majestic and Scarlet publish 290 cm.

Where a current product or collection block does not provide a 4 seater measurement, this guide leaves the value unfilled rather than estimating it.

What Size Is a Loveseat?

A loveseat does not have one universal size. M&H Living's current Love Seats collection includes compact seating from different ranges, so use the published dimensions of the individual product rather than assuming one standard loveseat width.

What Size Is an L-Shaped Sofa?

An L-shaped sofa needs two footprint measurements because its second run extends into the room. Current M&H published L-shaped footprints range from layouts such as 212 × 164 cm for Somerset and Soho to 290 × 160 cm for Majestic and Scarlet.

Check both runs and the required orientation before choosing the final position.

What Size Is a Corner Sofa?

Current published M&H corner-sofa footprints in this guide range from 235 × 235 cm to 250 × 250 cm. Compare both sides of the sofa with the available floor space rather than measuring only the longest wall.

How Much Does a Sofa Weigh in KG?

Sofa weight varies by model, size, upholstery and configuration. M&H Living does not currently publish a verified net weight for every sofa, so this guide does not estimate a kilogram figure.

If you need a confirmed weight for a particular sofa, contact M&H Living with the model and size you are considering.

Ask M&H for a confirmed sofa weight

When Is an M&H Sofa Bespoke?

The sizes, fabrics, colours and configurations already shown as selectable options on an M&H product page are standard product options.

A sofa is treated as bespoke where a customer requests an alteration to the standard dimensions, such as a different sofa length, or requests an upholstery fabric that is not part of the standard options offered for that product.

If you need a different sofa length or a fabric outside the standard range, contact M&H before ordering so the requested specification can be discussed.

Contact M&H about a bespoke sofa

How Do You Measure a Room for a Sofa?

Measure both the area the finished sofa will occupy and the physical route the sofa needs to travel to reach that area. A room can have enough floor space for a sofa while the route into the room is more restricted.

  1. Measure the usable wall or floor width where the sofa will sit.
  2. Measure how far the sofa can project into the room without blocking doors, walkways, radiators or other fixed features.
  3. Mark the published sofa footprint on the floor with low-tack tape.
  4. Measure the narrowest doorway, hallway, stair turn and lift on the access route.
  5. Compare those measurements with the published product measurements, not only the seat-count label.

Will the Sofa Fit Through My Door?

Room size and access into the room are separate checks. Measure the narrowest usable opening and the tightest turn between the entrance and the sofa's final position.

If the route includes stairs, a narrow hallway, a lift or a sharp turn, contact M&H with the sofa model before ordering so any available section or access measurements can be checked.

Ask M&H about sofa access

Which Sofa Size Should You Choose?

Choose by published dimensions first and seat-count description second. A 2 seater can suit a shorter wall, while a 3 or 4 seater provides more seating but occupies more floor space. Corner, L-shaped and U-shaped sofas use the room differently because additional runs extend into the floor plan.

Sofa Size FAQs

What Are Standard Sofa Dimensions in the UK?

There is no single fixed set of dimensions that every UK sofa follows. Seat-count labels are useful for browsing, but width, depth and height vary by sofa design and manufacturer. Use the published measurements for the specific sofa you are considering.

How Wide Is an M&H 2 Seater Sofa?

Current published M&H 2 seater widths run from 152 to 170 cm across the collections in this guide. Check the collection table because depth and height also vary between designs.

How Wide Is an M&H 3 Seater Sofa?

Current published M&H 3 seater widths run from 180 to 229 cm. Several collections publish 200 cm, while Somerset and Soho publish 180 cm and Majestic and Scarlet publish 229 cm.

How Wide Is an M&H 4 Seater Sofa?

Where a current width is published, M&H 4 seater sofas in this guide run from 235 to 290 cm. No figure is estimated where the current product information does not publish a measurement.

What Does Sofa Depth Mean?

Sofa depth is the overall front-to-back measurement of the sofa rather than only the usable seat depth. It shows how far the sofa projects into the room.

What Is Seat Height?

Seat height is measured from the floor to the top of the sitting surface. Most current M&H collection measurements in this guide publish a 45 cm seat height, while Chelsea Line publishes 40 cm and the Westmere Home Cinema Sofa publishes 41 cm.

How Much Does a 3 Seater Sofa Weigh in KG?

There is no single verified 3 seater weight that applies across the M&H range. Weight depends on the model, size and configuration. Contact M&H with the exact model if you need a confirmed kilogram figure.

Can I Order an M&H Sofa in a Different Size?

A requested alteration to the standard sofa dimensions, such as a different sofa length, is treated as a bespoke specification. Sizes already shown as selectable options on the product page are standard options. Contact M&H before ordering to discuss the required change.

Do Handmade Sofa Dimensions Vary?

M&H sofas are handmade, so small natural variations can occur in finished dimensions. The published measurements should be used for comparison and room planning, while allowing for normal manufacturing tolerance.
