Find the Perfect Height & Choose the Right Legs for Your sofa

Is your sofa feeling a little too low for comfort? Whether you're struggling to stand up easily, looking for a more elegant aesthetic, or hoping to create additional storage space, raising your sofa can make a world of difference.  

And did you know that a higher sofa improves ergonomics, enhances the look of your space, and makes cleaning easier? The good news? Adjusting your sofa height is a simple fix! In this guide, we'll walk you through the best ways to raise your sofa and how to choose the perfect solution for your home.  

Why Raise Your Sofa? 

Before we dive into the methods, let’s explore why you might want to give your sofa a lift:  

Improved Comfort & Ergonomics 

A sofa that’s too low can put extra strain on your knees and back, making it difficult to sit down or stand up. Raising the height can make your seating experience much more comfortable, especially for older individuals or those with mobility concerns.  

Easier Cleaning & Maintenance

A higher sofa means better access underneath, making vacuuming and dusting a breeze. No more struggling to reach dust bunnies or misplaced items hiding under the couch!  

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Sofa height plays a key role in your interior design. Taller legs can create a more open, airy feel in your living room, making small spaces appear larger. Plus, a raised sofa can help balance the proportions of your room, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with other furniture.  

Extra Storage Space 

If you're short on storage, raising your sofa creates space underneath for baskets, boxes, or even stylish organisers to keep clutter at bay. Perfect for small apartments or compact living areas!  

How to Make Your Sofa Taller

Now that you know why raising your sofa is a great idea, let’s explore three simple ways to do it.  

• Replace Your Sofa Legs with Taller Ones

The most effective and stylish way to elevate your sofa is by replacing its legs with taller ones. This method offers a seamless and permanent solution that enhances both stability and design. We offer a wide variety of wooden furniture legs in various heights.

• Use furniture legs with castor wheels

Castor wheels are an easy and affordable solution to raise your sofa. These are placed under the existing legs, instantly adding height without requiring any modifications, and make it easy to move the sofa around if needed.
