Sofa Sizes

How we rank sofas

Every score on Sofa Sizes is computed from published specs and prices, with the same steps for every model.

Where the data comes from

Sofa Sizes compares 459 sofas from 13 brands. Every spec comes from the maker's or a shop's own page, and its model page links to that page with the date we checked it. Every price shows the date it was checked. The latest price check was November 9, 2026.

We do not test products in person and we hold no user ratings. When a page does not state a value, we show "Not listed" instead of guessing, and the model leaves any list that needs that value.

How a score is worked out

  1. Each best list picks a few points that matter for it, such as price, size or warranty, and gives each one a weight. The weights add up to 100.
  2. Each point is scored against the best model in that list: the best gets the full weight, and a model with 80% of the best value gets 80% of it. Where lower is better, such as price, the lowest value gets the full weight and one 25% higher gets 80%.
  3. The points are added up to a score out of 100. Models with the same score share a rank.
  4. A model is ranked only if it has its own page here and a value for every point the list weighs. Where a maker gives a range (such as 6 to 8), the lower number counts.

Every list and what it weighs

What the scores leave out

Best-value scores reward a low price, a long return window and a long frame warranty. They don't measure comfort or build quality, so use them to shortlist, then check the sizes on each model page.

A score compares a model with the others in the same list only: a 70 in one list and a 70 in another do not mean the same thing.

Strengths, weak spots and head-to-heads

Model pages list a model's strengths and weak spots. These are worked out from the same data: a strength is a point where at most 20% of the other sofas with that data do better and the model beats at least half of them, and a weak spot is the reverse. With fewer than 5 sofas to compare, nothing is said.

Money

Shop buttons are affiliate links, and a shop may pay us when you buy. That has no effect on any score: the formula above is all there is, and nobody adjusts a score or a rank by hand.
