Back Support

Shop the pieces that will be the most comfortable for you by narrowing down your selection using specific comfort metrics. Back support is an important consideration if you want to be able to rest your head while sitting. It’s determined by measuring the inside back height, which is the distance from the top of the seat to the top of the back. Learn more about our Back Support Comfort Metric here.

back support metrics

Back Support 1: Back height of 15 inches or less
Back Support 2:Back height of 16 to 17 inches
Back Support 3: Back Height of 18 inches or more

things to think about

Higher backs are better for resting your head while sitting
Back height is less important if you usually lie down on your sofa
Lower backs help your room look open and won’t block a view
