With standard UK internal doorways commonly 762mm wide, the governing dimension is usually the smaller of a sofa's height and depth, which is why modular and knock-down constructions have become the practical default in period housing. The index tracks the retreat of the matching three-piece suite in favour of one generous seat plus flexible occasional seating: a chaise, a tub chair or a footstool that moves. It matches room sizes to workable configurations and clearances, weighs fabric against leather on staining, wear and patina, and explains why seat depth causes more disappointment than length, with 55cm suiting upright sitting and deeper seats leaving shorter sitters unsupported. Sofa beds, rub counts and removable covers are also covered.
