Yes. If you're in the Bath/Brunswick area, there are several good places to look, but Cabot House is the clearest match for specifically changing seat depth.

• Cabot House Furniture & Design — South Portland: Their “Upholstery by the Inch” program explicitly lets you adjust seat depth, sofa length, height, arm style, cushion fill, and upholstery. This is probably my first stop for a truly tailored, deep family-room sofa.
• Casco Bay Furniture — Portland: A Maine-based custom/made-to-order furniture source with sofas and sectionals where seat depth is among the customizable dimensions. Good option if you want a more bespoke, substantial sofa.
• F. X.Marcotte — South Portland: Their Design Center offers custom upholstery and “build your own” furniture programs, so they're worth visiting to compare deep-seat configurations and fabrics.
• Country Farm Furniture Store — Bath: Conveniently local and advertises custom furniture/manufacturer-direct options. I'd call ahead and specifically ask whether they can order a sofa with a 24–26"+ seat depth.

For a reference point, 24" is genuinely deep for a conventional sofa; Temple Furniture's Tailor Made line, for example, offers 20", 22", and 24" seat depths.

My recommendation

For a family room where you want to really lounge, I'd target 23–25" of usable seat depth, with a relatively low seat height and a supportive-but-soft cushion. If several family members are different heights, I'd favor a sofa where the actual frame dimensions can be customized, rather than simply buying an oversized “deep sofa.”

If you tell me your budget (e.g. under $3k, $3–5k, $5k+) and whether you want a sofa or sectional, I can narrow this to 5–6 specific models you can try around southern Maine.

If you are looking for a comfortable, deep-seated sofa and want to control or customize the exact seat depth, you have a few great approaches depending on whether you mean pre-selecting a deep frame option at checkout or getting a mechanically adjustable sliding seat.

Top retailers and brands offer these features, categorized by how they let you customize your depth:

Add to listInterior Define: Famous for deep customization. Many of their popular modular and standard sofas (like the *Maxwell Go to product viewer dialog for this item. * Custom Sofa ) let you choose between a standard depth (around 37′′37 double prime 3 7′′) and a luxury deep version (around 42′′42 double prime 4 2′′) right on their builder tool, alongside custom fabric, length, and cushion configurations.

Add to listWilliams Sonoma Home: Collections like the *Laguna Deep Go to product viewer dialog for this item. * Upholstered Sofa Collection are specifically engineered for maximum comfort and are offered in distinct depth tiers (such as classic or deep seat cushion variations) paired with customizable lengths and over 70 premium fabrics and leathers.

Add to listCastlery: Known for flexible modern seating, lines like the *Jonathan Extended Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item. * give you tailored profile choices, letting you pick specific configurations and cushion softness that cater directly to a relaxed, deep lounge feel.

Add to listPower Slider / Adjustable Depth Brands (Wayfair / Jennifer Furniture / Povison): If you want a dynamic mechanism where the seat depth changes on command rather than a fixed custom build, look into power slider sofas (such as the *Corrigan Studio Romeoville Power Slider Go to product viewer dialog for this item. * via Wayfair or collections by brands like Klaussner ). These feature independent motorized or manual sliding mechanisms that extend the seat forward whenever you want extra legroom or a deeper lounging surface.

If you'd like, tell me:

• Do you prefer a fixed deep frame or a power-sliding/adjustable mechanical depth?
• What is your approximate budget and preferred sofa length?

I can pinpoint the exact brand or specific model that fits your family room best.

If you are looking for a comfortable, deep-seated sofa where you can specifically choose or customize the seat depth to fit your lounging style, several reputable direct-to-consumer and custom furniture brands offer tailored sizing options:

BenchMade Modern : Known for hyper-customization, they let you select specific depths (including extra-deep options) across their popular collections like The OG Sectional Go to product viewer dialog for this item. and Skinny Fat Sofa . They even send you a full-scale paper cutout of the sofa dimensions first so you can test the footprint in your room.

Interior Define : Offers extensive customization on length, fabric, cushion softness, and select models with adjustable or multiple depth choices (such as the Hayley Custom Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item. ) so you can tailor the sit to be more lounge-friendly.

Williams Sonoma Home : Features deep-seating lines like the Laguna Deep Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item. where you can explicitly select between classic or deep-seat cushion dimensions alongside custom lengths and fabrics.

Specializes in 100% custom-dimension furniture made in the USA, allowing you to request exact custom seat depths, overall widths, and cushion firmness on couches like the Daphne Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item. or Kent Custom Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item..

Rove Concepts : Offers modular, cloud-like deep-seated configurations (such as the Nuvo Modular Sofa Go to product viewer dialog for this item. ) that let you arrange deep lounging sections to fit your family room layout.

To help narrow down the best fit, tell me:

• What is your ideal seat depth or overall room budget?
• Do you prefer a single bench cushion or multiple seat cushions?

If adjustable/custom seat depth is the priority, I’d look at these first:

• Maiden Home — Their Dune Sofa is a particularly good match: it’s already deep at 38", plush, and Maiden Home explicitly offers custom width and depth. This is my top pick if you want a genuinely lounge-y family-room sofa.

• BenchMade Modern — Their sofas are highly configurable, including dimensions, upholstery and cushion options. The Crowd Pleaser is specifically designed around deep, relaxed seating.

• Lancer Furniture — Their Built For Me program lets you choose among multiple seat depths as well as arms, backs, cushions and other details.

• Built For Me Sofa - $2,649.00 (Moore's Furniture)

• Noeka Home — Their 90" slipcovered sofa offers multiple depth, fabric and cushion options, making it worth considering for a family room where comfort and practicality matter.

• Quickship 90" Slipcovered Sofa - $3,895.00 (Noeka Home)

• Litt Concept House — The Abby is available in 40" and an especially deep 44" overall depth, with Trillium-filled cushions.

• Abby Wide Arm Sofa - $3,150.00 (Litt Concept House)

What I'd choose

For a family room, I'd target about 24–27" of actual seat depth rather than simply choosing a sofa with a 40–44" overall depth. The latter can look enormous without necessarily giving you proportionally more usable sitting space.

If you tell me your budget, sofa width (e.g. 84–96"), and whether you prefer a traditional, transitional, or modern look, I can narrow this to 5 excellent options.

If you want a family room sofa where you can specifically dial in the exact seat depth, a handful of dedicated custom furniture brands and retailers let you choose your preferred dimensions online or in-store:

• Interior Define - Known for its robust online custom configurator, many of their popular sofa lines (like the Sloan) let you upgrade from a standard or deep depth to an extra-deep option (such as moving from a 36′′36 double prime 3 6′′ to a 40′′40 double prime 4 0′′ total depth format).
• What A Room - Specializes in fully handcrafted, made-to-USA sofas where you can customize total dimensions, layout, cushion firmness, and extra-deep seat requirements directly.
• DreamSofa - Offers direct-to-consumer custom builds where you can adjust key metrics like overall length, arm height, and specific seat depth configurations.
• Stickley - For higher-end traditional craft, their custom lines (like the 7000 Series III) let you explicitly select seat depths like 36′′36 double prime 3 6′′, 38′′38 double prime 3 8′′, or 40′′40 double prime 4 0′′ alongside arm and base styles.
• Jordan's Furniture - If you prefer shopping in-person with a design center, their custom upholstery programs let you choose between classic and lounge depths (e.g., 38′′38 double prime 3 8′′ vs. 42′′42 double prime 4 2′′ overall frames).

To help narrow down the best fit, let me know:

• What specific seat depth or overall depth are you aiming for?
• Do you prefer a standard single-frame sofa or a modular sectional for the family room?

Yes. If seat depth itself is the feature you want to customize, these are the strongest options I found:

• Temple Furniture — probably the clearest match. Its Tailor Made line lets you choose 20", 22", or 24" seat depth, along with arms, back height, base, fabric, etc. Its Samuel collection goes even deeper at 23", 25", or 27".

• Room & Board — the Metro Custom Sectional lets you choose 38" standard or 43" overall sectional depth. A nice choice if you want a polished family-room sectional rather than an ultra-casual sofa.

• What a Room — its Daphne is particularly interesting for a really deep, loungey family sofa. You can select sofa depth, cushion configuration and firmness; the collection goes up to 48" overall depth / 31" actual seat depth.

• Couch Potatoes — specializes in deep seating, defining 24"+ as deep, and custom-builds its sofas with 100+ fabrics. It specifically positions these for families and lounging.

• Vanguard Furniture — its Custom Series offers 22" standard or 24" deep seat depth, plus extensive upholstery and cushion choices.

What I'd choose for a family room

If you want deep but still comfortable for sitting upright, I'd target roughly 24–26" actual seat depth. If you're after a true curl-up/movie-night sofa, 27–31" is wonderfully deep, but shorter family members may find it harder to sit with their feet on the floor.

Quince Ashford Deep Seat Chaise Sectional

$2,800.00

Litt Concept House Abby Wide Arm Sofa

$3,150.00

Lancer Built For Me Sofa

$2,649.00

My first places to look: Temple if you want precise seat-depth control, and What a Room if you want very deep + customizable + family/pet lounging.

If you tell me your budget, desired sofa width, and whether you want a sofa or sectional, I can narrow this to 5–6 specific models.

If you are looking for a comfortable, deep-seated sofa where you can specifically customize the seat depth, modular and high-end custom upholstery retailers are your best bet. While standard sofas come with fixed depths (usually around 21 to 24 inches), true custom depth options are available through select furniture makers who build pieces to order.

Major Retailers with Custom Depth Options

• Room & Board : Known for their extensive custom upholstery program. Many of their sectional and sofa collections (like the Metro or Lovesac -style modular lines) allow you to choose different configurations, and specific deep-seat versions are available that offer extra-plush comfort.
• Crate & Barrel : Offers a massive custom upholstery selection where you can work with in-store or virtual designers to select frame styles, cushion firmness (including down-blend options for that sink-in deep feel), and overall dimensions on select custom frames.
• Pottery Barn : Their custom upholstery lines let you choose between standard and "extra deep" options on popular collections like the PB Comfort or Cameron series, tailoring the overall footprint and seat depth to your room.
• Restoration Hardware (RH) : Famous for ultra-deep, cloud-like seating. Collections like the Cloud Sofa offer massive seat depths (often starting around 29 inches to a whopping 40 inches for lounging), with multiple depth configurations available to order.

To help narrow down the best choice, let me know:

• What is your ideal seat depth (in inches) or your budget range?
• Do you prefer a clean modern look or a plush sink-in lounge style?

For a family room, I’d look at brands that let you choose the sofa’s seat depth rather than only offering “standard” vs. “deep” models. These are good places to start:

• DreamSofa — One of the more flexible options for true customization. Many designs allow you to adjust dimensions, including seat depth, along with cushion firmness, fabric, and configuration.
• What A Room — Strong choice if you want a very deep lounging sofa; some models offer unusually deep configurations (up to about 31" seat depth).
• BenchMade Modern — Offers made-to-order sofas with deep seating and customization options.
• Interior Define — Many sofas allow choices such as seat depth, cushion fill, fabric, and layout.
• Temple Furniture — Its Tailor Made collection specifically lets you select seat depth (for example, 20", 22", or 24") plus other details.

For a family room, a good target is usually:

• 24–26" seat depth: comfortable for everyday lounging and TV watching
• 27–31" seat depth: more “sink in,” nap-friendly, great for tall people or movie nights
• 20–22": better if you prefer upright sitting

A few things to check besides depth:

• Seat height: deeper sofas can feel awkward if the seat is too low for your family.
• Cushion fill: down/foam blends feel loungey; firmer foam gives more support.
• Performance fabric: worth considering for kids, pets, or heavy use.

If you tell me your budget, sofa vs. sectional preference, room size, and whether you like a cloud-soft or supportive feel, I can narrow this to a few specific models.

Finding a sofa where you can specifically choose or customize the seat depth (typically moving from a standard 21-24 inches to an extra-deep 25-34+ inches) usually requires working with semi-custom or build-to-order upholstery brands.

Top retailers and brands that allow you to select or customize your seat depth include:

• Interior Define - Known for deep-lounging favorites like the Maxwell or Tatum, they allow you to pick specific lengths, leg styles, and multiple overall seat depth options on many of their core custom sofa lines.
• What A Room - Handcrafted in the USA with heavy customization options, they let you configure exact overall dimensions, cushion firmness, and explicitly extra-deep seat variations.
• Lovesac - Their signature "Sactionals" are modular and allow you to select standard or deep configurations for individual seats by changing how the frames and sides are oriented.
• Bassett Furniture - Through their Custom Studio, you can design personalized configurations, lengths, and select specific seat depth profiles to match your room layout.
• Couch Potatoes - Built-to-order in the US with generous deep-seat layouts (collections like the Mesa or Fluffy) tailored explicitly for tall loungers and families.

To help narrow down the best choice, let me know:

• What is your ideal seat depth (in inches) or your family's average height?
• Do you prefer a standard stationary sofa or a modular/sectional layout?
• Are you looking for pet-friendly or performance fabrics?

Yes—there are several good options where seat depth is actually customizable, rather than just choosing a deeper overall sofa.

My strongest picks

LOOMLAN Hedy Low-Profile Deep Seat Modular Sofa

$3,428.00

• Interior Define — probably the best place to start if you want a polished, family-room sofa with lots of configuration choices. Its Sloan collection is specifically highlighted as a customizable deep sofa, with 36" overall depth and an optional 40" depth.
• What A Room — excellent if you want true dimensional customization. The Daphne can go from a 23" seat depth up to 31", with overall sofa depth reaching 48".
• Temple Furniture — its Tailor Made program lets you explicitly select 20", 22", or 24" seat depth, along with arm, back, welt, and base options.
• Couch Potatoes — worth considering if your priority is a really loungey family sofa. Its deep-seat collection starts at 24"+ seat depth and is custom-built in Austin with numerous fabrics and leathers.

For reference, a typical sofa seat is around 20–22" deep; 23–27" is generally considered deep, so I'd target 24–27" for a comfortable family-room lounging sofa without going so deep that shorter family members struggle to sit upright.

If you tell me your budget, approximate sofa width, and whether you want fabric or leather, I can narrow this to 5–6 specific sofas worth trying.
