High Back Sofas
A high back sofa tends to be more supportive than lower pillow backs, and it can be a much more comfortable solution for taller people. Not only that, but it’ll generally need less puffing and maintenance, which is always handy. Plus, you can use a high back couch to better divide your seating area from the rest of the room: this is especially great news if you have a fairly large or open-plan setting.

Buying Guide
Caroline is a young, New York-based interior designer and home decor writer, obsessed with textiles and designer furniture. Backed with rigorous training from a prestigious design school, as well as a profound understanding of material quality and fabric care, she offers spot-on advice on how to furnish your place with reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
If you are on the lookout for neck and back support out of a piece of furniture for ultimate comfort, then you should consider high back tufted sofas. They're available in a wide range of designs, which means there's something every taste. Check out our buying guide below as it will help you choose the right tufted sofa with a high back.
All types of sofa, including a tufted, high back unit, start with a good frame. A sofa's frame is the skeleton which ensures all the parts of the furniture remain intact. A quality frame will keep every piece where it should be. It also provides your body with support as you sit on the chair, making sure you don't experience any pain or ache.
Remember, without an excellent foundation, your sofa will just lose its shape. Just a minor fault like a loose joint or a minute break in the framing will turn your once-comfortable sofa into something that will induce pain just after you sit on it for a couple of minutes.
The right material choices and building techniques define a sofa frame's quality. We suggest you look into wood composites and metal instead of hardwood that's genuine as they're both tougher and stronger. In addition, a cheaper model uses metal staples in its joints, and it's common in furniture pieces that have been mass-produced. This method won't provide you with the durability that a hand-joined can offer.
Although foam is popular, not all kinds of foam are created equal. In a manufacturing plant, the substance is produced through the mixing of several different chemicals that rise into large spongy blocks. The softness or stiffness of the materials determine a foam's feel and density. Also, the less air that has formed during the process of curing, the greater the material's density. Basically, what we mean is that higher density relates to better foam quality and a higher price tag.
Opt for higher-density foam as it gives you more support and comfort with its solid build. What's more, the sofa's filling which provides the right resistance will last longer compared to low-density foam. Of course, you would want your cushions to be plump even after years of constant use, especially when you've spent a lot of money.
The cushioning is the part that you'll be in contact with as you sit on the chair. It is, therefore, important that you select the type of filling that ensures optimal comfort. What most homeowners prefer is the type of cushioning that's capable of offering some degree of resistance that will help support the body.
When it comes to choosing a comfy high back tufted sofa, its suspension plays a huge, pivotal role. It is located within a seating area's inner part and it uses webbing or springs in providing support and resistance as you sit. Along with the cushion filling, it is responsible for fiving a sofa its seating feel and balance.
The suspension of the best sofa for you is one that provides a good amount of resistance. A cheap sofa has inadequate suspension so it will just sag after a year. Quality furniture pieces have durable systems that allow them to withstand daily use.
