A 3-seater sofa is designed to comfortably seat three people, offering a spacious and versatile seating option. With its generous proportions, a 3-seater sofa provides ample room to stretch out and relax or accommodate multiple guests. It can also be paired with armchairs, ottomans, or smaller sofas to create a cohesive and inviting seating arrangement.

A 3-seater sofa typically suits small to medium living areas. For optimal balance and flow, it’s recommended to leave at least 300mm to 500mm (12” to 20”) of space on either side of your sofa. This provides room for side tables, floor lamps, or decorative elements while ensuring easy movement around the room. It’s also important to check your 3-Seater Sofa can fit through the doorways of your home. For peace of mind, King Living offers access checks to ensure your furniture will fit.

For a 3-seater sofa, three to five cushions are typically recommended. A cushion at each end provides comfort when leaning against the armrests, while additional cushions can enhance the sofa's aesthetic and create a layered look.

Modular designs like the Delta 3-Seater Sofa or Jasper 3-Seater Sofa allow for easy expansion as your lifestyle evolves. By adding additional modules, you can transform your 3-seater into a larger configuration. This adaptability ensures that your sofa grows with your needs, whether you're entertaining guests or simply reimagining your space. Explore our full collection of sofas, including modular designs.

Choosing between a fabric or leather sofa involves considering factors such as style, comfort, durability, and maintenance. Fabric sofas offer a vast array of colours and textures, allowing for greater personalisation to match your interior decor. However, fabrics can be more susceptible to stains – it's advised to use treatments like KingGuard+ to repel liquids and stains to ensure longevity. If you have children or pets, choosing a heavy-duty domestic or commercial-grade fabric will enhance its durability. Opting for a textured or patterned fabric rather than a solid colour can also help conceal everyday use. Leather sofas exude a timeless elegance and are known for their durability. They are relatively easy to clean, often simply needing a wipe-down to remove spills. Leather can feel cool initially but warms up with body temperature, offering comfort year-round. It's important to note that leather requires regular conditioning to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Additionally, leather may show scratches more easily, which can add character over time but might be a concern for some households. Ultimately, the choice between fabric and leather depends on your lifestyle preferences, aesthetic desires, and willingness to commit to maintenance routines.

Sofa, lounge, and couch are often used interchangeably, but can have subtle distinctions. Lounge is the preferred term in Australia and New Zealand, referring to both the seating and the living space. Couch, more common in North America, suggests a casual, relaxed seating option, sometimes without armrests. Sofa, the most formal term, is widely used in interior design and retail to describe an upholstered seating piece with structured armrests and a backrest.
