The Cutting Table · a common question
Which of your floor sofas can't be made in custom sizes?
Also asked as:Can this modular sofa come in custom dimensions?Same style, but in my own sizes?
Almost everything at the cutting table is cut to your numbers. Three ready-made floor sofa models are the exception, and a fourth is usually a no.
The quick answer
Three ready-made models are standard-size only: the linen floor sofa, the fold-flat lounger chair and the bouclé modular floor couch. The bouclé couch is sold module by module, so the layout can still be yours. The open-corner modular couch isn't normally made in custom dimensions either, but its 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) section, set as an L, lands close to many requests.

Four floor sofa models, four size answers
| Model | Custom size? | What you can do instead |
|---|---|---|
| Linen floor sofa | No, standard sizes only | Choose the standard size that fits your wall |
| Fold-flat lounger chair | No | Look at the shop's other floor seating models |
| Bouclé modular floor couch | No, the module size is fixed | Buy modules separately and build your own layout |
| Open-corner modular couch | Not normally; refused during a busy period | Check the standard 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) section against your L first |
Fixed modules, flexible rooms
Most questions at the cutting table start with a tape measure and end with a new pattern. This one ends with a short list. The linen floor sofa comes in standard sizes only. The fold-flat lounger chair can't be customized: a buyer in the US wanted it shorter so it would slide under a platform bed, and was pointed to the shop's other floor seating models instead. The bouclé modular floor couch can't be resized either.
The bouclé couch has a way around the rule: each module is sold separately. The module size is fixed; the count and the arrangement are yours. The modular floor sofa layouts Pattern shows arrangements that work, and the modular floor sofas atlas has the full lineup.
The open-corner modular couch isn't normally made to custom dimensions, and during one busy period it couldn't be taken as a custom order at all. Its standard section is 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm). Set as an L, that is close to what many buyers ask for anyway. So run the arithmetic before you ask, partner: what does your wall measure from the corner?
Before you ask for a resize
- Measure each wall run from the corner, ± 1/4 in, and note the floor you want left clear.
- Check the model against the four above; if it's standard-only, skip the custom request.
- Bouclé couch: sketch the layout in modules, then order the modules one by one.
- Open-corner couch: compare your L with the 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) section first.
- Need more room math? The floor sofa buying guide covers height and space.
Standard-only means the module is fixed, not the room: buy bouclé floor couch modules one at a time and build the L your wall needs.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Can your ready-made sofas and floor sofas be made in custom sizes?
The workshop's answerSome come in standard sizes only, the linen floor sofa among them. The open-corner modular couch isn't normally made in custom dimensions and couldn't be taken as a custom order during a busy period. Its standard section is 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm), which in the L layout is close to many requests.
- A common question
Could the fold-flat lounger chair be made shorter so it fits under my bed?
The workshop's answerNo. That lounger model can't be customized, so the shop suggested its other floor seating models instead.
- A common question
Can I get the bouclé modular floor couch in smaller dimensions?
The workshop's answerNo, that product can't be customized. Each module is sold separately, though, so you can build the layout you need.
- A common question
Can the corner floor cushion be made in an in-between size?
The workshop's answerYes. Order the next standard size up, for example 47 x 47 in (120 x 120 cm) for a 43 x 43 in (110 x 110 cm) space, and write your size in the note. Smaller, rectangular or taller versions are possible, at the price of the size you select.
Questions buyers ask next
Is a bouclé module layout limited to one shape?
No. Each module of the bouclé modular floor couch is sold separately, so you decide how many modules to buy and how they sit together. The module keeps its standard size; the arrangement is up to you.
Why might the open-corner couch be turned down as a custom order?
It isn't normally made in custom dimensions, and during a busy period the workshop couldn't take it as a custom order. Its standard 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) section often covers the need anyway.
What should I measure before choosing a standard-size floor sofa?
Each wall run from the corner and the floor space you want to keep clear. Compare those numbers with the standard section, 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) on the open-corner couch, before you order.
