# The kids corner sofa says height 8. Is that inches, and does it unfold?

*A number without a unit is half a measurement. Here is the other half.*

Also asked as: 7¾ in (20 cm) height instead of 3¼ in (8 cm)?; Does this kids sofa unfold?

> **The quick answer:** The kids corner floor sofa is 8 in (20 cm) tall, and its base is one solid piece that does not unfold. It can look like two layers in photos, but it is a single block. Custom sizes are made by choosing the next size up and noting yours, the cover is removable and washable, and shipping timing comes with your order.

## The kids corner sofa, measured

| Measure | Kids corner sofa | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 8 in | 7¾ in (20 cm). The listing's “8” is inches |
| Base | One solid piece | Looks layered in photos; does not unfold |
| Custom example | About 43 x 43 x 8 in | 43¼ x 43¼ x 7¾ in (110 x 110 x 20 cm), ordered on the 47 x 47 in (120 x 120 cm) option |
| Cover | Removable, washable | Comes off for the wash |
| Dispatch | Ask for the date in writing | From order to shipping |

## Why the photos suggest two layers

The photos can read as two stacked pieces. It is one block.

That matters if you hoped for a fold-out bed. This base stays a seat, 8 in (20 cm) off the floor. The [kids floor sofas](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/kids-floor-sofas/) hub shows the other shapes, and the adult [floor sofa](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#floor-sofa) ottoman is the piece that folds open.

## Ordering a size that is not on the list

1. **Measure the corner**: Wall to wall, both directions. Leave a hand's width of floor.
2. **Choose the next size up**: For about 43 x 43 in (110 x 110 cm), a buyer chose the 47 x 47 in (120 x 120 cm) option.
3. **Write your exact size in the note**: The sofa is cut to the note, not to the option. The [size-by-age Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/kids-floor-sofa-size-by-age/) helps you choose.

## What to write down before you order

What does your corner measure, wall to wall? Start there. The listed height is 8 in (20 cm); in the custom example above, the width changed and the height stayed.

One block.
One height.
A corner that fits it.

> **Tailor's margin:** On the kids corner floor sofa, a height of 8 means 8 in (20 cm), not 3¼ in (8 cm), and the base is one solid block that does not unfold.

> A custom kids floor sofa is ordered on the next size up: about 43 x 43 x 8 in was made from the 47 x 47 in option, the real size in the note.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** The listing says height 8. Is that 3¼ in (8 cm) or 8 inches?

**The workshop's answer:** Inches: 8 in, which is 7¾ in (20 cm). Custom sizes are possible, for example about 43 x 43 x 8 in (110 x 110 x 20 cm) by choosing the 47 x 47 in (120 x 120 cm) option. The cover is removable and washable; ask for the shipping timing when you order.

**A common question:** Does the kids floor sofa fold out?

**The workshop's answer:** No. The base can look like two layers in the photos, but it is one solid piece.

**A common question:** How big is the floor sofa ottoman, and does it open up?

**The workshop's answer:** It's 39 x 39 in (about 100 x 100 cm): one connected two-layer cushion that folds open into a longer rectangle, in the same foam as the sofa. The layers can be made separate on request.

**A common question:** Can I order only the seat cushion, or add more back pillows?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. The seat cushion can be ordered alone for less than the full set, and extra backrests, bolsters or small support pillows can be added through a custom order.

## Questions buyers ask next

### How is the kids corner sofa different from the floor sofa ottoman?

The kids corner sofa base is a single solid block that stays a seat. The floor sofa ottoman, 39 x 39 in (about 100 x 100 cm), is a two-layer cushion that folds open into a longer rectangle, and its layers can be separated on request.

### Which size option do I pick for a custom kids sofa?

Pick the next listed size above your measurement and write your exact size in the note. A buyer who wanted about 43 x 43 x 8 in (110 x 110 x 20 cm) chose the 47 x 47 in (120 x 120 cm) option.

### Can the kids sofa cover go in the wash?

Yes. The cover is removable and washable, so it comes off after spills and goes back on the solid base. Choose a fabric that washes easily if small hands will be eating snacks on it.
