Feel Good Sofa

Feel Good Sofa

By Costantini Pietro | Designer: G. Soressi

The Feel Good Sofa lives up to its name with a perfect balance of relaxed comfort and refined Italian design. Defined by its clean, horizontal shape and generous proportions, the sofa features plush seat and back cushions that invite effortless lounging while maintaining a tailored, contemporary look. The seat height is 17”, the overall sofa depth is 39.5”, and net seat depth (including the lumbar support) is about 23.5”, providing balanced, comfortable posture that accommodates both supportive everyday sitting and comfortable lounging 

Architectural wood side panels and a solid wood frame create a striking contrast against the soft upholstery, adding structure and visual depth to the design. Elevated on discreet legs, the Feel Good Sofa appears light and modern while offering exceptional support and durability—ideal for sophisticated living rooms and upscale residential interiors.

Feel Good Sofa Delivery Considerations:

When purchasing a sofa of this scale—where the smallest option is already a substantial 98.5 inches (250 cm) and the largest stretches to 118 inches (300 cm) —delivering and installing it in a high-rise or a home with tight hallways presents serious spatial challenges.

Because these sizes are typically built on a single, continuous frame rather than modular sections, you need to navigate several critical "bottlenecks":

1. The Elevator Clearance (The #1 High-Rise Issue)

Standard residential elevators are rarely built to handle a rigid 8-foot to 10-foot long piece of furniture.

• The Diagonal Test: It isn't just about the elevator floor space or ceiling height; it’s about the diagonal clearance from the top back corner of the elevator cab to the bottom front entrance. If the sofa cannot be tilted diagonally to clear the door frame and fit inside the cab, it won’t make it past the lobby.
• Service Elevators: You must verify the dimensions of the building's freight or service elevator. Even if the elevator is tall enough, if the doorway header is low, you cannot pivot a 118" sofa inside.

2. Hallway Corner Pivoting (The "Pivot!" Problem)

Long sofas are notoriously difficult to maneuver around corners.

• 90-Degree Turns: If a hallway is narrow (e.g., standard 36 to 42 inches wide), a 98.5" or 118" sofa cannot easily make a sharp 90-degree turn into an apartment door or a room. The sofa will get wedged between the two opposing walls.
• Hallway Obstructions: Light fixtures, exit signs, handrails, and low-hanging pipes drastically reduce the practical clearance height when trying to stand the sofa vertically to shuffle it around tight corners.

3. Stairwell Clearance (If Elevators Fail)

If the sofa doesn't fit in the elevator, the delivery team will resort to the stairs.

• Landings: The main issue is rarely the stairs themselves, but the stairwell landings. A 118" sofa requires massive clearance to pivot 180 degrees at each floor landing to continue up the next flight. Low stairwell ceilings will completely block this maneuver.

4. Entryway and Door Frame Thickness

• Door Width vs. Sofa Depth: To get through a standard apartment door, the sofa usually has to be carried in on its side (like an "L"). While the total height of the Feel Good sofa is relatively low (33"), you must ensure the door opens fully and that the usable opening width can accommodate the sofa's 39.5" depth.
• Dead Space Behind Doors: If the apartment door opens into a narrow foyer wall immediately across from the entrance, a 10-foot sofa cannot be pushed straight in; it will hit the wall before the backend clears the door frame.

Feel Good Sofa Pre-Delivery Checklist:

1. Ask if the Feet/Legs are Removable: Detaching the legs can often shave 2 to 5 inches off the loading height/depth, which can be the exact difference needed to clear a tight door frame.
2. Request a Fit Profile from the Building: Ask high-rise property management for the maximum furniture length allowed by the freight elevator. They usually have these exact restrictions on file.
3. Measure the "Path of Travel": Measure every single ceiling height, doorway, and hallway width from the loading dock all the way to the living room—not just the living room itself!
