Collection comfort, compared.

A chart comparing seat feel and back feel of each Sixpenny collection. Neva is shown as one of the most laid-back and fluffy, whereas Amelia is one of the most upright and firm.

If human-to-human relationships are built on love languages, then human-to-sofa relationships are built on comfort languages.

 

We find that three parameters best help in assessing how the various Sixpenny collections measure up to one another: seat feel, seat depth, and back feel.

For all-out sprawling.

NEVA

Sixpenny's fluffiest family, famous for its sink-in soft cushions, and unparalleled cloud-like comfort.

Sofa, 26.5”

Sectional, 31", 23" w/ lumbar cushion

BACK FEEL: Laid-back, lounge-y, subtly supportive

ARIA GRANDE

An entire world of plush softness packed into an airy, armless silhouette. Aria’s fluffy lumbar cushions have a lot of give, meant to provide some extra squish rather than prop you up.

CAMINO

This modular showstopper is superbly soft, with a tubular cushion that’s approximately 13” around—squishy but large enough to prop you up in a perfect, elbow-resting position. 

SEAT FEEL: Very fluffy 

SEAT DEPTH: 

Chair, Sectional Sofa, 23"

Leather Chair, Sectional Sofa, 24"

BACK FEEL: Laid-back, very soft, without being super lounge-y

ZIKI

Ziki’s sleek, cushion-less back conceals several comfy layers of cushy foam that rebound when compressed for a different kind of soft support, while the loose-fill seat cushion is all classic fluff. 

SEAT FEEL: Very fluffy 

SEAT DEPTH: 25” 

BACK FEEL: Upright, soft, contoured to the shape of your back 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

OLEA

Olea’s bench cushion and rounded back cushions are sublimely squishy, providing a pleasantly plush back feel. All this adorable fluff is balanced by a relatively upright frame and modest seat depth.   

SEAT FEEL: Very fluffy 

SEAT DEPTH: 24”

BACK FEEL: Upright, squishy, but highly adaptable considering the round scatter cushions 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Frequent fluffing

LOULA

Loula’s relatively springy, fixed seat cushion is balanced by the sumptuous back cushions and generous depth. Loula Sofa, Sectional Sofa, and Chaise 4-pc Sectional are curved, so the seat depth is slightly larger at the corners. 

SEAT FEEL: Firm-ish 

SEAT DEPTH: 

Sofa, 26-31”

Sectional Sofa, Chaise Sectional (4pc), 25-27"

Corner, L-Shape, U-Shape, Chaise Sectional (5pc), 27"

BACK FEEL: Laid back, soft, enveloping, at a slight recline 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

For supportive first, soft second.

ELIAS

Elias’ double cushion design makes it a relatively upright sit—a great option if you want to easily spring to your feet without sacrificing softness. 

SEAT FEEL: Fluffy, but supportive 

SEAT DEPTH: 26”, 21” w/ lumbar cushion

BACK FEEL: Upright, but soft 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

GIO

Gio’s gorgeous, solid wood frame and upright back is are perfect for entertaining, making it conversation central, balanced by soft, supportive cushions. 

SEAT FEEL: Fluffy 

SEAT DEPTH: 19”

BACK FEEL: Upright 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

GABRIEL

Gabriel provides all the support you’d expect from its contemporary shape and concise proportions. But the cute arm cushions and cushy bench seat make Gabriel softer than the sharp corners let on. 

SEAT FEEL: Firm-ish, but still plush 

SEAT DEPTH: 23”

BACK FEEL: Upright, perky, soft 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

AMELIA

Amelia is our nod to the parlors of the past. The supportive, upright design is perfect for the friend who loves to host, and who’s constantly popping up to answer the door or grab more wine. 

SEAT FEEL: Firm-ish 

SEAT DEPTH: 23”

BACK FEEL: Upright, supportive 

CUSHION UPKEEP: Occasional fluffing

Seat feel.

Firm-ish to fluffy

Essentially, how soft is the seat cushion, and what does it feel like when you first sit down? Is it very fluffy? Do you sink into the sofa or sit on the sofa?

Seat depth & back feel.

Upright to laid-back

Seat depth (from the front edge of the seat to the spot where your torso hits the back cushion), pitch (the angle of recline) and the back cushion feel together create the overall lounge-y-ness. Is it a shallow, feet-on-the floor sofa, or a legs-curled-up-with-your-book-and-the-dog sofa? Is the sitting angle more upright or more reclined? Is the cushion super soft or more supportive?


*A note about our scale

Keep one thing in mind: compared to the wide world of sofas, ours are quite fluffy. Yes, we offer products that range from fluffy to firm-ish, but the “firm” end of our spectrum won’t feel like the stiff seat in a hotel lobby or the vaguely mid-century loveseat in a doctor’s waiting room. The feather, down, vegan poly fill, and high-density foams we use to overstuff our cushions are top of the line materials intended for decadent comfort, and so our scale is adjusted for that as a starting point.
