Frequently Asked Questions on International Sofa Sizes
How do American sofas differ from European and Indian sofas when sizing slipcovers?
American sofas (such as Pottery Barn and West Elm) are significantly deeper (38 to 44 inches / 96 to 112 cm) with thick down-blend rolled arms. They consume roughly 15 to 25 cm more fabric than European or Indian sofas of the same width. For an 84-inch American couch, select an XL / 4-seater slipcover (235-300 cm span).
What slipcover size fits Scandinavian minimalist sofas like BoConcept or IKEA?
Scandinavian sofas prioritize slim track arms and low backrests (70 to 80 cm). Because track arms consume minimal fabric, a 200 cm Scandinavian 3-seater sofa fits comfortably inside a standard 3-seater stretch slipcover (190-230 cm span) with crisp geometric lines.
