The goal is not to choose the softest sofa, but one that keeps the spine naturally supported while sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Look for these features first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Firm seat support:<\/strong> Extra-soft cushions can let the hips sink too far, which may increase lower-back strain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High backrest:<\/strong> A taller back supports the upper back, shoulders, and neck better during longer sitting sessions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Controlled recline:<\/strong> A recliner can reduce pressure when it supports both the back and legs in a stable position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seat depth also matters. If the seat is too deep, shorter users may lean backward without lower-back contact. If it is too shallow, taller users may lose thigh support. A good fit lets the back touch the backrest while the knees bend comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>For POVISON, a <strong>Power Recliner<\/strong> or <strong>high-back sofa<\/strong> is usually the better choice for back-sensitive users than a low, extra-soft lounge sofa.
