# What are the dimensions and seat height of the teddy floor sofa?

*Low seating lives in a few inches. Here are all of them, piece by piece.*

Also asked as: How tall is the seat cushion on the couch?; How big is this?

> **The quick answer:** The standard teddy floor sofa measures 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) and stands about 28 in tall with its backrests. Two stacked 6.5 in (17 cm) seat layers give a 13-14 in seat height. Between the armrests there's about 50-51 in of seating width, and the seat is about 24 in from front to back.

## Why 13 inches reads lower than it sounds

Thirteen inches is a number on a page. Sitting down, it is the floor coming closer. Height is a feeling, so tape it out before you order: 39 x 79 in on the rug, and something 13-14 in high where the seat will be. The [floor sofa buying pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-buying-guide-height-space/) covers room and clearance; the [seat height pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-seat-height-raise/) covers going higher.

The flat-cushion and L-cushion versions use the same fabric and the same foam density. Only the cut differs, so the sitting is the same. A custom length is possible and adds processing time, because the pieces are cut to your figure rather than taken from the standard run. The [modular floor sofas](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/) page shows the layouts.

> **Tailor's margin:** A teddy floor sofa listed at 79 in means 79 in edge to edge, the whole sofa, not the length of one cushion.

> Two stacked 6.5 in seat layers put the teddy floor sofa's seat at 13-14 in, and the L-shaped backrest brings it to about 28 in tall.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** How big is the teddy floor sofa, and how tall is it with the back pillows?

**The workshop's answer:** The standard sofa is 39 x 79 in. Each seat layer is about 6.5-7 in thick, so two stacked make a 13-14 in seat, and the backrest adds about 14 in, for roughly 28 in overall.

**A common question:** What does the sofa measure with the ottoman, and is the ottoman two pieces?

**The workshop's answer:** With the ottoman it's 79 x 79 in overall. The ottoman is 39 x 39 in, one foldable cushion that opens to about 79 in (2 m) long, not two stacked pieces. The open-corner layout is 118 x 79 in.

**A common question:** Is 79 inches the whole sofa or one cushion? And how do the models differ?

**The workshop's answer:** 79 in is the full length, outer edge to outer edge. One model uses 4 flat cushions, another 2 L-shaped ones; both use the same fabric and foam density, so comfort is the same. The length can be customized; one custom-length order took about 10 more days.

**A common question:** How wide is the actual seat between the arms?

**The workshop's answer:** About 50-51 in side to side once you take away the armrests. The 24 in figure is the seat measured front to back.

**A common question:** What size bed does the floor sofa make?

**The workshop's answer:** Each seat mattress is 39 x 79 in, a twin XL. Side by side they make about 79 x 79 in, roughly king size.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Can I buy extra teddy sofa covers without the foam?

Yes. Extra covers for the floor sofa can be sold with or without the foam inside, so you can keep the seat cushions you have and change only the fabric around them.

### Does the teddy floor sofa have legs or a frame?

No legs. The modular floor sofa is all cushion and fabric and sits directly on the floor. Metal support bars at the sides and back hold the backrests in place.

### Can the length of the teddy floor sofa be changed?

Yes. The length can be customized to fit a wall, which adds some processing time to the order. Give the finished length you need edge to edge, since that is how the 79 in (200 cm) standard is measured.
