Imagine stepping into your outdoor space and feeling the same comfort as your favorite indoor living room. This is achievable with the right foundation: a deep seating outdoor sofa. With just one thoughtfully designed piece, any patio or deck becomes a relaxing and inviting extension of your home.

At POLYWOOD®, we believe outdoor living should be as comfortable and stylish as your interiors. Our deep seating sofas are carefully crafted to anchor your outdoor space with enduring beauty and comfort.

The Heart of Your Outdoor Living Room

A deep outdoor sofa offers plush, sink-in comfort ideal for long chats, naps, and cozy evenings. With spacious proportions, wide frames, and thick cushions, these pieces are made for true relaxation.

Achieving Cohesion: Design Principles for Outdoor Spaces

Creating a cohesive space is about more than a sofa. Build your backyard look with these tips:

Define Your Style

Match your outdoor style to your indoor look to create an aesthetic that flows seamlessly from one space to another. Or create a distinct theme that reflects your personal style. From coastal to rustic to modern, there is a range of deep outdoor sofas to choose from.

Select a style that looks stunning and withstands the elements year after year, becoming the long-lasting focal point of your outdoor living room.

Color Palette and Cushions

Fade-resistant cushions keep your look vibrant season after season. Select shades that complement your home’s exterior, and layer in patterns or tonal accents for depth.

Layering and Accessories

Complete your setup with thoughtful accents:

  • Outdoor Rugs: Frame the seating area and add texture.

  • Lighting: Use lanterns, string lights, or floor lamps to extend evening use.

  • Throws and Pillows: Add comfort and pops of color with durable outdoor fabrics.

  • Decor: Incorporate planters, greenery, or art to personalize your space.

Complementary Furniture

Add matching deep seating chairs, loveseats, and accent tables for balance and functionality.

Why POLYWOOD Deep Seating Outdoor Sofas Are the Ideal Choice

We craft our sofas with Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber, a proprietary material made from recyclable and reusable plastics. The result: furniture built to last in any climate.

  • All-Weather Performance: Our lumber is resistant to splintering, cracking, chipping, rotting, and peeling—even in harsh coastal air or snowy winters.

  • Minimal Maintenance: Skip sanding, painting, and waterproofing; a quick soap-and-water clean keeps furniture looking fresh.

  • Sustainability: Made in the USA in a 99% waste-free process, our lumber is infinitely recyclable.

  • Long-Lasting Comfort: Sturdy frames support high-performance cushions that resist mildew and fading.

We back our lumber with a 20-year residential warranty, ensuring years of reliable use.
