big and tall furniture

If a standard size couch won’t do the job, you may need to shop big and tall approved furniture. Living room furniture should make you feel comfortable and supported while you spend quality time in your home.

Big and tall furniture is designed for just that with deep seating and stronger supportive materials. Furniture Fair carries heavy-duty big and tall living room furniture in a wide variety of styles and colors. Our big and tall sofas, recliners, and sectionals come with wide and tall seating designed to make you feel more comfortable at home.

Big & Tall Furniture That Actually Fits You

You deserve furniture that supports you every day. Our Big & Tall Furniture Collection is built with wider seats, deeper cushions, and reinforced frames so you can sit, stretch, and relax without worrying about wobble or sag. If you are looking for a heavy-duty recliner, an oversized sectional, or a sturdy sofa with higher weight capacity, you are in the right place.

What makes big & tall furniture different?

Quick Answer: Stronger frames, wider and deeper seating, and high-density cushions with higher per-seat weight ratings (often 350–500 lbs). The goal is simple: real support that lasts.

How To Know It Will Hold Up

  • Reinforced frames: Kiln-dried hardwood or steel support at key stress points.
  • High-density foam: Cushions keep their shape and support.
  • Extra-deep, wider seats: More room for legs and shoulders.
  • Durable upholstery: Performance fabrics and leathers that resist stains and wear.
  • Heavy-duty motion: Power/manual mechanisms designed for daily use at higher weights.

How much weight does it support?

Quick Answer: Many big & tall recliners and sofas are rated 350–500 lbs per seat. Check the product specs for exact capacity.

Get the Right Fit in Your Room

Start with the seat. If you are tall, look for a higher back, extended footrest, and deeper seat. If you want more stability, choose wider arms and lower, thicker legs. Then match the piece to your space with:

  • Recliners for higher weight capacity and full-length leg support.
  • Sectionals for family rooms with wider seats and reinforced frames.
  • Sofas with extra-deep seating for a clean look and everyday support.

Can big & tall furniture still look stylish?

Quick Answer: Yes. Larger-scale designs come in modern, classic, and casual looks with the same fabrics and finishes you love.

How do I measure my room for a sectional?

Quick Answer: Measure the room’s width and depth and leave at least two feet of walkway space around furniture. Get layout help in our Learning Center or with our design experts.

Make It Last Even Longer

  • Choose the right fabric: Performance options are easier to clean. See tips in the Learning Center.
  • Mind the specs: Check seat height, seat depth, and weight capacity before you buy.
  • Plan delivery: Heavier frames are safer with white-glove delivery. We can bring it in and set it up.

What seat depth is best for taller people?

Quick Answer: Many tall customers prefer 22–24 inch seat depths for full thigh support and proper posture. Try in store to find your comfort zone.
