How Do You Measure a Couch?
To accurately measure a couch, you need to determine its key dimensions to ensure it fits comfortably in your space and can be moved efficiently.
Key Measurements for Your Couch
Here are the essential measurements you'll need:
- Length: Measure from one arm to the other at the widest point. This is per the guidance from 17-Nov-2021.
- Overall Depth: Measure from the very back of the couch to the very front.
- Seat Depth: Measure from the back cushion to the front edge of the seat.
- Overall Height: Measure from the floor to the tallest point on the couch back.
- Arm Height: Measure from the floor to the top of the armrest.
- Diagonal Depth: Measure from the top back corner down to the opposite front corner of the armrest. This measurement is crucial for determining if the couch can fit through doorways and hallways.
Why Accurate Measurements Matter
Knowing these measurements is critical for:
- Ensuring the couch fits the intended space.
- Confirming it can be moved through doorways, hallways, and staircases.
- Visualizing the scale within the room.
Always use a sturdy tape measure and record your measurements carefully.
