Our Denver design team uses this exact 9-step checklist with every single customer (in the showroom and on the phone). Follow it and you will never make a sofa mistake again.
Step 1: Measure like a pro
- Doorways, hallways, stairwells, elevators
- Pro tip: measure diagonally corner-to-corner on doors under 32″
Step 2: Decide your depth sweet spot
- 35–38″ standard (feet on floor)
- 40–44″ deep (feet up, nap-approved)
Step 3: Pick your firmness level
- Plush (sink-in cloud)
- Medium (most popular)
- Firm (great for bad backs)
Step 4: Choose your fabric for your real life
- Dogs → Crypton or Revolution performance
- Kids → dark colors or patterns
- Minimal spills → velvet or linen look
Step 5: Pick the right size for your room Use our free room planner PDF
Step 6: Choose configuration
- Standard 3-seater
- Sectional (L-shape or U-shape)
- Modular (move pieces anytime)
Step 7: Leg finish that matches your vibe
- Warm walnut
- Black metal
- Brushed brass
Step 8: Cushion style
- Bench seat (clean modern)
- 2-over-2 or 3-over-3 (classic)
Step 9: Sleep test (yes, really) Lie down on it in the showroom for 5 full minutes. If you don’t want to get up, it’s the one.
