The correct sitting depth

Modern sofa's just like in the picture above, are too deep for most people. For design purposes, lounge suites are designed with standard seat depths of 53/54 cm. When seats are too deep, people will always sprawl. This will result in a bulging back and will make getting up and shifting position more diffi cult.

Note: Ensure that your body properly fi ts the lower back support of the chair. When it is possible to slide a flattened hand between the inside of the hollow of your knee (upper side off the calf) and the seat, the seat depth is correct.
