We get a lot of questions from customers about what makes a sofa comfortable and uncomfortable. We’ve included here some design resources to help understand how to design the perfect sofa. Use these design resources as a guide whether you’re looking to build a new piece or understand what can be done to make your sofa more comfortable. If you need additional information, contact us. Our designers will help you decide how best to engineer your custom sofa so it not only looks great, but feels amazing. If you’re paying for custom furniture, why settle for anything less than the best quality sofa or chair available to you.
Here are some basic dimensions for a sofa. You’ll need to understand these in order to build this to your perfect size and specifications. Wild Willow Bespoke Furniture created these images and the design resources. For further information about each measurement, see their design resources page. Most builders will use these same terms.
Don’t worry if you already have a sofa (chair, sectional, etc) that is uncomfortable and aren’t ready to buy a new one. Used appropriately, you can extend the life of your upholstery with different (or new) cushion fill, pillows, etc. There are also half-way steps possible to modify your sofa without completely tearing it apart.

If you’ve been to our showroom, you know just how many samples we carry at any given time. What you may not know is that we also have access to millions of fabrics, many of which we don’t carry physical samples for.
If you are thinking about bringing your own fabric for reupholstery, talk to us first. We may be able to get the same fabric for less money and, bonus, when you purchase fabric through us, you get a discount on the labor cost. We encourage our customers to take home some samples to confirm how it looks in your lighting, in your space. Click here for a free quote

This heirloom piece got mom a little misty. We had two heirloom chairs that have been our family for years reupholstered by Sofa Biz. They came back looking so beautiful! When my mother saw them she became teary-eyed and was just elated with how beautiful the chairs were. Also, the dining chairs we had covered and refurbished came out amazing also. Thank you for applying your skill restoring our nostalgic family chairs.

Wow! This store makes the most beautiful couches I have ever seen. The owner has some of the most lovely couches on display with leather and fabric on display on his show room floor. They can make custom made couches and seats for you. This is how to get furniture that does not look like your neighbors!

Custom ottoman replica
Can you build me a custom ottoman?
We get the question a lot if we can replicate a product from another vendor. The answer is almost always yes, we can replicate it and we can do it more affordably and customize the details.
Recently we’ve had two customers come in looking for the Lee 9562-90 ottoman (which Lee Industries has discontinued). Having done custom work now for 40 years, we have no problem replicating that ottoman. Both customers wanted them slightly different sizes and fabrics and they turned out beautiful.

We can replicate sofas or sectionals from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Bernhardt, and any other fine furniture maker. We can build anything from a high quality, but value sofa to sofas with all the best materials. We measure the life of our frames in generations, not months as some do.
Regardless of what you’re looking for, let us give you a free quote. After comparing prices, quality, and service, we’re confident you’ll want to work with us.

Dog ate your homework, and then your favorite chair too? We don’t ask how things happen. We don’t ask why or who did it either! But if your nice upholstered furniture got trashed somehow, bring it on in and we will cover it perfectly!
