Quickly measure your furniture to see if it is of standard size?
Sofa height: 36-42 cm is appropriate
The width of the seat of a single sofa should be more than 48 cm, and the depth should be within the range of 48-60 cm. If it is too deep, the calf cannot droop naturally, and the calf will be compressed. If it is too shallow, it will feel uncomfortable to sit.
The height of the seat should be within the range of 36-42 cm. If it is too high, the legs of the sitter will be tight and unable to relax. If it is too low, the sitter will feel curled up in a corner. The seat height of a double or triple sofa is consistent with the seat height standard of a single sofa, and the width of the seat changes accordingly.
The distance between the seats of each person on a three-person sofa is preferably 45-48 cm. The distance between the seats of a double sofa can be larger, generally 50 cm, depending on the fatness of the user.
The armrest of a sofa is generally 56-60 cm high. If there is no armrest and a table is used for transition, the height of the table should be 60 cm to facilitate the hand rest or taking things.
Height of TV cabinet: not higher than 70 cm
The height of the TV cabinet should ensure that people’s sight lines fall exactly on the center of the TV screen after sitting down. Take watching TV on the sofa as an example – the seat height is 40 cm, and the height from the seat to the eye is usually 66 cm, which is 106 cm in total. This is the sight height, and it is also used to measure whether the height of the TV cabinet meets the standard of healthy height. If there is no special need, the center height of the TV should not exceed this height.
If you choose a non-dedicated TV cabinet as a TV cabinet, the 70 cm high cabinet is the upper limit. Taking a 29-inch TV as an example, the chassis is 60 cm high and the cabinet is 70 cm high, which is 130 cm in total. The height from the center of the screen to the ground is about 110 cm, which is just in line with the healthy height for normal viewing. If the selected cabinet is higher than 70 cm, the center sight line must be higher than this standard, which is easy to form an upward gaze.
Seat height: 39-42 cm is appropriate
The height of the seat should be measured and designed based on the reference point of the person’s sitting position (sciatic joint point), and the height is usually set between 39-42 cm. Less than 38 cm will cause discomfort when the knees are arched and increase the difficulty of standing up.
When the chair height is 5 cm greater than the length of the lower limbs, the body pressure is dispersed to the thighs, causing pressure on the inner thighs, which can easily cause swelling of the lower legs.
The height of the living room cabinet: the line of sight is appropriate
The living room cabinet is divided into high cabinets and low cabinets. The highest point of the high cabinet should be maintained at a distance of 40-60 cm from the ceiling. Too high will produce a sense of oppression, and too low line of sight will easily ignore the center height, causing visual distraction.
The height of the low cabinet is about 40 cm, which is the most suitable height for communication with the sofa. A high cabinet of 60-70 cm high can be used as a display cabinet or a TV to achieve a relatively ideal effect. This is a healthy height suitable for most Oriental people. This height responds to the line of sight in a timely and effective manner.
The height between cabinet shelves should not be less than 22 cm. Considering the placement of larger items such as magazines and photo albums, the height between shelf layers should generally be 30-35 cm.
Bed height: 46-50 cm is appropriate
The height of the bed can be measured by the height of the mattress from the ground, and the standard height is 46-50 cm. The height corresponding to our normal sitting posture is 40 cm. When sitting on the bed, the height of the 46 cm mattress from the ground is just about 40 cm after being compressed.
The height of the bed edge should be 45 cm, or the user’s knees can be used as a measurement standard. The same height or slightly higher by 1-2 cm will be beneficial to health. Too high or too low will only bring inconvenience to getting in and out of bed. Too high will cause inconvenience in getting in and out of bed, and too low will be easy to get wet, and it is easy to inhale dust on the ground during sleep, which will increase the working pressure of the lungs.
