Shallow seat depth sofas

10 replies

Hi, We're looking for a sofa that has smaller than standard front to back dimensions due to space restrictions.

Our hideous hand me down is 79 cm deep, which is great.

We're finding it hard to find anything less than 94 cm or so.

Can anyone help me find a contemporary sofa - ideally one that looks similar to this www.contentbyterenceconran.com/shop/ranges/ellis.html ?

Many Thanks!

Ikea's cheapest sofas tend to be small but I can't comment on comfort or longevity.

Thanks Ash. Will take a look.
More suggestions welcome!

IKEA do a few I think. In my experience they are pretty hard wearing and you can get extra sets of covers - so can have one to wash and one to use.

We searched for something similar to fit in a bay window and eventually found one in Next. It’s from the Alfie range and you choose your own upholstery, we chose a velvet.
We also got the chair, which is very comfortable. Both are about 20 months old and are wearing well.
It was not somewhere we’d normally go to, but we needed an additional sofa to exactly fit the space. The other option was to get bespoke one made.
If I remember rightly, there was also a 15 day return option if you were not happy with the look.

I should mention it’s the snuggle seat, but fits two adults easily and sometimes a toddler, as well!

I was looking a while ago and was really struggling. The best I could find was some cheap ones from George at Asda.

That Next one looks absolutely perfect for us - thanks jt05

Try sofasandstuff.com That's where we bought our narrow depth sofa.

Definitely Ikea. We just got rid of our 2 ektorp sofas as too shallow!!!
