Furniture. Objects. Retail. Makers.

Almost every sofa looks good in a photograph. What separates one that still looks good in fifteen years is entirely hidden: the wood inside the arm, the springs under the seat, the density of the foam, the weight of the fiber wrapped around it. This guide opens an Eilersen up layer by layer, from slow-grown Scandinavian pine dried to 8-10% moisture, to no-zag springs tested past 200,000 impacts, to the pre-compressed fiberfill that separates a sofa that ages well from one that deflates. It closes with a checklist for judging any sofa, from any brand.

Eilersen builds every sofa to order, and custom pieces take 12 weeks or more to arrive. The Eilersen Quick Ship Sofa program changes that: a curated collection of Eilersen's best designs is stocked in the US and delivered in 2-4 weeks. This guide covers every stocked piece, from the adaptable Playground and family-friendly Great Ash to the sculptural Aton and the expansive Dacapo sectional, with sizes, fabrics and advice on choosing. Construction is identical to a custom order, and every sofa arrives with White Glove delivery included nationwide at no cost.

Buying a sofa is exciting right up until it arrives and something feels off. Maybe it swallows the room. Most people eyeball sofa size, skip the tape measure, and end up with a piece that never quite fits. The good news is that choosing the right size does not require an interior design degree. It requires a tape measure, about fifteen minutes, and this sofa size guide for your living room.
