Extra Deep Sofas Melbourne: Three Comfort Rules to Know Now

Looking for extra deep sofas Melbourne homes can enjoy without losing the shape of the room? A deeper sofa can feel relaxed, generous and easy to sink into, but it needs more planning than a standard sofa. The seat depth, back support, cushion feel and floor space all need to work together.

An extra deep sofa is made for leaning back, stretching out and settling in. It can make a living room feel more relaxed, especially in homes where the sofa is used for films, reading, naps, family time or quiet evenings.

The key is choosing depth carefully. Too shallow and the sofa may not feel relaxed enough. Too deep and it can become hard to sit upright, difficult to stand from or too large for the room.

At MOMU, sofas are made in Melbourne with custom options across suitable designs. Size, fabric, configuration, seat depth, height, cushion firmness and layout can all be discussed before your sofa is made.

What Makes an Extra Deep Sofa Work?

Extra depth is not only about having more space on the seat. It changes posture, room flow and how the sofa is used every day. A deep sofa works best when the seat still supports the body and the room still has enough open floor area around it.

This is why deep sofas need to be chosen with care. You are not only looking at the front view of the sofa. You are deciding how far it comes into the room, how the back cushions support you and whether everyone in the home can sit comfortably.

An extra deep sofa may suit your home if:

• You prefer relaxed sitting over upright sitting.
• The room has enough depth for a larger sofa footprint.
• You use the sofa for films, reading or longer lounging.
• You want a sofa that feels generous without adding extra chairs.
• The table area can still be reached comfortably.
• Delivery access can support the selected design.

Rule One: Check the Room Depth First

With extra deep sofas, room depth matters as much as sofa width. A sofa can fit along a wall but still feel wrong if it projects too far into the living area.

Before choosing, mark the sofa footprint on the floor with painter’s tape. Include the full width, full depth, arms and any chaise or modular return. Walk around it. Sit near it. Check the table area, rug, side tables and the main path through the room.

Measure these before visiting the showroom

• The full room width and length.
• The distance from the sofa wall to the opposite side of the room.
• The main walkway through the living area.
• The rug size.
• The table area.
• Door, window and curtain clearance.
• The full delivery path into the living room.

Three Extra Deep Sofas Melbourne Homes Can Compare

Before choosing, compare different deep-seat shapes. These three extra deep sofas Melbourne buyers can explore through MOMU suit different rooms, from larger modular zones to more compact curved seating.

1. Palermo Modular Sofa

Best for: larger living rooms, open-plan homes and households that want deep comfort with more shared seating.

Live product detail: The Palermo Modular Sofa is the modular version of MOMU’s Palermo sofa. MOMU describes it as keeping the comfort of the original Palermo while adding extra room and extra versatility. That makes it a strong option if you want a deep, relaxed sofa that can also help define a larger living zone.

Shape and room purpose: Palermo Modular suits homes where the sofa needs to do more than sit against a wall. Because it is modular, it can help create a more complete seating area in an open-plan room. It is useful when the living space needs deep comfort, generous seating and a layout that feels planned rather than pieced together.

Custom options: MOMU notes that Palermo Modular can be made in any size, any fabric and any configuration. It can also be made deeper or higher, and if the chosen design includes legs, leg style can be selected. This is important for extra deep sofa planning because a small change to depth or height can make the sofa feel much easier to use.

Comfort options: MOMU states that every sofa can be tailored to comfort, with choices across seat depth, height and cushion firmness. Palermo Modular can be discussed with firmer support, softer comfort or a plumper cushion feel, depending on how you prefer to sit.

Fabric and finish: MOMU offers a curated fabric and leather process, with designers helping narrow down options and sending samples home so you can see how colours and textures work in your own light. For a large modular sofa like Palermo, this matters because the fabric covers a larger visual area in the room.

Build and delivery notes: MOMU lists sustainably sourced FSC/PEFC certified Australian hardwood frames, premium GECA-certified foams and Oeko-Tex certified Dacron fibre made from more than 99% recycled bottles. Palermo Modular is made in Melbourne, with Australia-wide delivery available. MOMU’s delivery team can also install the furniture, remove packaging and recycle it.

Good to know: Palermo Modular is worth comparing if you want an extra deep sofa that feels substantial, but you still want the final depth, height, fabric and configuration to be planned around your room.

2. Bobbi Jnr Modular Sofa

Best for: homes that want curved modular comfort in a more compact form than a larger modular setting.

Live product detail: The Bobbi Jnr Modular Sofa is described by MOMU as a scaled-down version of the much-loved Bobbi Modular, with the same curves and exceptional comfort in a more compact size. This makes it useful if you want a softer modular shape but do not want the sofa to dominate the room.

Shape and room purpose: Bobbi Jnr Modular suits living rooms where a straight sofa feels too flat, but a full large modular setting may feel too much. Its curved form can soften a room with many straight lines, while the modular format gives the seating area more presence and flexibility.

Custom options: MOMU notes that Bobbi Jnr Modular can be made in any size, any fabric and any configuration. It can also be made deeper or higher. This makes it especially useful for extra deep sofa buyers who want a relaxed seat but still need the sofa to feel controlled in the room.

Comfort options: MOMU offers comfort choices across firmer support, softer comfort and a plumper fill. Bobbi Jnr Modular is a good showroom option if you want to test whether a deep curved sofa feels supportive enough for daily use, especially for both relaxed lounging and upright sitting.

Fabric and finish: MOMU can show durable fabric options and can also source fabrics beyond the core range. Designers help with fabric choices, and samples can be sent home so you can compare them with flooring, rugs, curtains and wall colour before deciding.

Build and delivery notes: MOMU states that its furniture is made in Melbourne, with an upholstery workshop adjacent to the showroom. The product page also notes Australian hardwood frames, GECA-certified foams, Oeko-Tex certified Dacron fibre, custom sizes, a 10-year warranty and Australia-wide delivery.

Good to know: Bobbi Jnr Modular is worth comparing if you like the idea of an extra deep sofa with curves and modular comfort, but you need the final piece to feel more compact and easier to place.

3. Austin Modular Sofa

Best for: living rooms that need a curved back, generous seating and a modular layout with custom comfort planning.

Live product detail: The Austin Modular Sofa is described by MOMU as having a curved back and generous seating. This makes it a strong option for extra deep sofa buyers who want a sofa that feels relaxed, but still shaped and considered.

Shape and room purpose: Austin Modular works well when the sofa needs to soften the living room and provide more seating than a straight sofa. The curved back gives the design a more rounded presence, while the modular format helps the sofa work in open-plan rooms, family spaces and larger sitting areas.

Custom options: MOMU notes that Austin Modular can be made in any size, any fabric and any configuration. It can be made deeper or higher, which is useful if you are comparing extra deep sofas and want the seat to suit the way you relax at home.

Comfort options: MOMU offers comfort choices for every sofa, including firmer support, softer comfort and a plumper fill. Austin Modular is worth testing in person because the curved back, generous seat and cushion choice will all affect how supportive the sofa feels over time.

Room planning: MOMU’s product page notes that designers can work from a floor plan or room measurements to create a scaled furniture layout, then draw the room in CAD so you can see how the furniture will fit before buying. This is especially helpful with extra deep sofas, where the depth can change how the whole room works.

Fabric, build and delivery notes: Austin Modular can be made in the fabric or leather direction that suits your home. MOMU notes Australian hardwood frames, premium GECA-certified foams and Oeko-Tex certified Dacron fibre. The sofa is made in Melbourne, with Australia-wide delivery available, and MOMU’s delivery process includes careful installation and packaging removal.

Good to know: Austin Modular is worth considering if you want extra depth, a softer curved profile and a modular layout that can be planned around your room rather than chosen as a fixed solution.

Rule Two: Test Sitting Upright and Relaxed

A deep sofa should feel good in more than one position. It should let you lean back and relax, but it should not be impossible to sit upright when you want to talk, read or have guests over.

When you try a deep sofa, sit back properly. Then sit upright. Check whether your feet can rest comfortably. Notice whether you need extra cushions behind you. Stand up and sit again. These small tests make it easier to choose depth that suits real life.

Comfort details to compare

• Seat depth.
• Seat height.
• Back cushion support.
• Cushion softness and firmness.
• Arm height.
• How easy it is to stand up.

Rule Three: Keep the Layout Flexible

Extra depth can be created in more than one way. It does not always need to be one very deep straight sofa. A chaise, ottoman or modular layout can sometimes give you the same relaxed feeling with a better room fit.

For example, Weekender Chaise can suit homes that want one stretch-out section, while Harvey Ottoman can add foot-up comfort without fixing the room into one layout. If the room needs a neater sofa shape, Conran can be useful to compare.

Weekender Chaise and Harvey Ottoman by MOMU, useful options when you want extra comfort with a more flexible layout.

Choose Fabric With More Surface Area in Mind

Deep sofas show more fabric. The seat, cushions, arms and modular sections can all make the fabric feel more present in the room. This is why the fabric needs to be chosen in real light, not only from a screen.

Take samples home before ordering. Look at them beside your rug, flooring, curtains and wall colour. Check them in morning and evening light. A fabric that feels quiet in the showroom may look stronger across a deeper sofa.

You can compare MOMU’s fabric options, neutral fabric options, velvet options and leather options before visiting the showroom.

Think About Who Uses the Sofa Most

Extra deep sofas can feel wonderful for taller people, relaxed sitting and long evenings. They may not suit everyone in the same way. Shorter people may need firmer back support or extra cushions to sit upright comfortably.

This does not mean deep sofas are the wrong choice. It simply means they should be tested by the people who use them most. A good deep sofa should suit the household, not only the floor plan.

Check Delivery Access Early

Deep sofas and modular sofas can need more delivery planning than smaller pieces. A sofa can be the right size for the living room but still be difficult to move through a narrow entry, stair turn, lift or hallway.

Measure the full path from the front entry to the living area. Take photos of tight turns and bring them to the showroom. Access should be discussed before ordering, especially if the sofa is deep, modular or made in larger sections.

Access points to measure

• Front door width and height.
• Internal door openings.
• Hallway width.
• Stair width and landing depth.
• Lift opening and internal lift size.
• Any tight turn before the living room.

Use Room Planning Before Ordering

Room planning is especially helpful for extra deep sofas. It can help you compare depth, width, modular layout, rug size, walkways and the table area before the sofa is made.

MOMU’s room-planning service can help compare sofa size, layout, comfort and upholstery before production. You can also read more about MOMU’s making approach, sustainability and warranty information.
