47 in Sherpa Loveseat with Rubber Wood Legs, 13.5 in Floor Clearance and 463 lb Capacity, Cream

Low sofas trap dust, crumbs and pet hair in a band underneath that a normal vacuum head cannot get into and a robot cannot fit under. It stays there until the sofa is dragged out, which is rarely.

This one stands on splayed rubber wood legs with 13.5 inches of clearance beneath the frame, measured in the maker's own photograph with a robot vacuum driving under it. The floor underneath gets cleaned like the rest of the room.

Legs first, upholstery second

The studio shot. Four angled rubber wood legs carry a slim upholstered box, with soft bolster arms resting on the wood rather than built into the frame. The body is shallow front to back, so the whole thing reads light for a 47 inch sofa.

Every figure in one place

Forty-seven inches across the back and 44 inches of seat, 29 inches deep and 36 inches high. The seat is 20.5 inches front to back on a 5.5 inch cushion, sitting 19 inches from the floor, and the back panel stands 20 inches tall. Arms are 24.5 inches up. The panel prints 463 lb.

Measured underneath

The clearance photographed with a robot vacuum halfway under it and the gap marked at 13.5 inches. That is the figure worth checking against your own machine, because most robot vacuums are between three and four inches tall and get blocked by a lower frame.

Measured in the maker's own photograph, which is unusually generous for a sofa.

Printed on the maker's dimension panel. A static rating for evenly resting weight.

The record states the back leans at 105 degrees, described as following the curve of the spine.

A dense looped pile, warm to the touch and softer than a flat woven fabric.

Splayed and angled, each with a foot pad to protect the floor from scratches.

Filling the 5.5 inch seat cushion and the upholstered bolster arms.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Thirteen and a half inches of clearance is far more than most sofas leave, so the machine cleans under it rather than bumping off it.

High legs and a slim body let the floor run underneath, which makes a room read larger than a low sofa allows.

A 20.5 inch seat and a 105 degree back suit sitting properly back with your feet on the floor rather than lounging.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement, the 13.5 inch clearance and the 463 lb capacity come from the manufacturer's own panels.
• The 105 degree backrest angle is stated in the product record.
• No fibre content, foam density, carton size, assembly time or net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will my robot vacuum fit under it?

The clearance is 13.5 inches, measured in the maker's own photograph. Most robot vacuums are between three and four inches tall, so the gap is generous. Measure your machine's height to be sure, since a docking sensor can sit higher than the body.

Is a 20.5 inch seat deep enough?

It is shallower than the 21 to 24 inch standard band, so it suits upright sitting with feet on the floor rather than curling up. That is consistent with the 105 degree back angle the maker describes.

How does sherpa wear?

It is a dense looped pile, so it flattens where weight sits, in the seat and along the arm tops. Most of that is crushing rather than fibre loss and it lifts with a soft brush. Loops can catch on claws, which is worth thinking about if a cat shares the room.

What does 463 lb cover?

It is the manufacturer's static rating: weight resting evenly across the seat. It does not describe someone dropping onto it from standing, which puts far more force through a frame than a resting load.
