Unique Features

The standout feature of the Paxton Sofa is its patented ComfortCore® cushions, engineered to provide exceptional support and long-lasting comfort. These cushions are designed to cradle your body, delivering a seating experience that is both plush and supportive.

The sofa's design is further enhanced by its wide arms, which not only add to its visual appeal but also provide a comfortable place to rest your arms or lean against. The elegant welt trim on the arms adds a touch of sophistication, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.

Paxton Sofa Size & Dimensions

Due to its higher seat height and deeper seat depth, the Paxton Sofa makes its claim as the best sofa for tall people. It is particularly ideal for individuals 6’3” and up.

While this oversized couch is good for tall people, it is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which is why it’s important to sit in it yourself.

We at La-Z-Boy South Texas also encourage you to measure the size of your space before picking out furniture. It is much easier to make furniture decisions when you know the size of your room beforehand.

See what customers of the Paxton Sofa have to say about it!

“Soo comfy and comfortably firm

Very happy with my sofa! It is firm but not uncomfortable. The back cushions stay in place very well which was one of my concerns. The fabric is lovely. Overall its very comfortable and I can snuggle into the sofa or sit on it with my feet on the ground and still be comfy. I also love the overall style of it. It is sophisticated but comfortable. So it looks very upscale and feels it. One of the reasons I chose this sofa is because the feet are not too high off the ground so as to prevent tennis balls from rolling under the sofa. (We have dogs). No balls can fit underneath now so gone are the days that I spent retrieving balls endlessly!” - Amanda and John V.

“Run in one of the back cushions. The good news was they immediately offered to make it right” - Sheila P.

“Beautiful and comfortable

We love our sofa! A perfect family sofa, as we can all comfortably snuggle on it. The fabric we chose is beautiful and, having chosen a performance fabric with I-stain, I can say so far it's spot cleaned very well.” - Maura G.

The only question that matters, still, is if the Paxton is right for you.

At the end of the day, the only person that will know if the Paxton is right for you is you. Even after reading this review, the most important step still must be taken: sitting in the Paxton yourself!
