Sofas > Arms

A sofa gives your lobby, exec office, or breakroom a three-seat soft-seating landing zone that says "stay a while." You get a warmer, more relaxed feel than stack chairs deliver. A great way to anchor the room and pair with a coffee table for the full lobby setup.

Most commercial sofas run 72 to 90 inches long, 32 to 36 inches deep, and 30 to 36 inches tall at the back. Seat height lands at 17 to 19 inches. Pull out a tape measure on your lobby and figure out where the sofa lands against the door swing and the coffee table.

You can grab fabric (warm, wallet-friendly), bonded leather (the looks-like-leather pick), full-grain leather (upscale, long-lasting), or vinyl (waterproof, healthcare-friendly). Fabric works in most corporate lobbies. Leather is the right fit for executive and law-firm spaces.

You can grab a hardwood plank frame (the most durable, upscale pick) or an engineered frame with steel reinforcement (the wallet-friendly pick that still hits commercial duty). Both pair with sinuous spring and 8-way hand-tied seat decks. The frame is what locks in the 10+ year service life.

You can grab high-density foam (the wallet-friendly pick), spring-down (foam wrapped over coil springs, the upscale feel), or feather-and-foam (the softest sink-in pick). Higher density foam holds shape longer in high-traffic lobbies. Spring-down is the right fit for executive office sofas.

Commercial sofas are built to hold 250 to 300 pounds per seat position, so a three-seat sofa handles 750 to 900 pounds total. The frame, springs, and seat deck are tested as a whole. Heavier-duty versions push the per-seat capacity to 400 pounds.

Yes — most commercial sofas pair with a matching loveseat (two-seat) and matching club chair (single-seat) in the same upholstery, frame, and cushion build. That's a great way to lock in a coordinated soft-seating family across your lobby, breakroom, and exec office.

You can grab a track arm (clean, modern silhouette), a rolled arm (traditional, executive feel), a tuxedo arm (formal, the same height as the back), or a sloped track arm (transitional look). Pick the arm style against the architectural character of your lobby.

Yes — leave a 30 by 48 inch open floor zone at one end of the sofa for a wheelchair user to park alongside. The seat height at 17 to 19 inches lands within ADA range, so the sofa itself is fine. Just keep the path open and the coffee table set with clearance.

Commercial sofas built to the BIFMA testing standard for the soft-seating family carry a 10 to 15-year warranty in the industry against consumer-grade sofas at 1 to 5 years, but we offer a Free Lifetime Warranty unless specifically noted. The frame, the springs, the seat deck, the cushions, the upholstery, and the leg glides are all covered.
