The 2/3 sofa rule is an interior design guideline suggesting your sofa should be about two-thirds the width of the wall or rug it's against, creating visual balance and preventing it from looking too small or overpowering the room.

The best sofas for back pain offer firm support, proper height/depth for flat feet, and high backs for spinal alignment, with high-back models, Chesterfields, or recliners with adjustable features being excellent choices. Look for firm foam cushions (density 2.4+) for spinal alignment, fixed backs for stability, and ensure you can sit with feet flat on the floor and knees at a 90-degree angle. Adjustable headrests and lumbar support features (like lumbar pillows or built-in support) are key for reducing strain.
