Telescope Leeward Deep Seat High Back Three-Seat Sofa

When your covered patio needs to function as an extension of your living room rather than just seasonal seating, the furniture choice becomes critical. The Telescope Casual Leeward Deep Seat High Back Three-Seat Sofa is a 78-inch Contemporary outdoor sofa built for covered patios and screened porches where deep comfort matters more than weather exposure, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. Built with Telescope's signature Marine Grade Polymer (MGP) frame and sled base design, this high back sofa delivers the deep cushioned seating experience of indoor furniture with the weather resistance needed for outdoor living rooms. At nearly 6.5 feet wide, it's designed for households who entertain regularly and need three full adults to sit comfortably for extended conversations without compromising on back support.

What Is a Deep Seat Outdoor Sofa?

A deep seat outdoor sofa features a seat depth of 20-24 inches compared to the 16-18 inches found on standard outdoor furniture, creating space for full cushion sets that match indoor comfort levels. Unlike sling sofas that stretch fabric between frame rails, deep seat designs accommodate thick back and seat cushions that allow guests to fully recline and relax. This construction is best for covered outdoor spaces like screened porches, pergolas, and covered patios where the seating functions as primary living space rather than poolside lounging. Deep seat outdoor sofas are also known as cushioned outdoor sofas or outdoor living room sofas.

Construction Details of the Leeward Deep Seat High Back Sofa

1. Marine Grade Polymer Frame -- Telescope's proprietary MGP material is non-porous and will not rust, rot, crack, or absorb water like aluminum or wood frames. The polymer construction also means no metal screws or joints that can corrode in coastal environments.
2. High Back Support Design -- The 38-inch back height provides full lumbar and shoulder support for adults up to 6'2", making this suitable for extended seating sessions that last 2-3 hours. Standard outdoor sofas typically measure 32-34 inches back height.
3. Sled Base Construction -- The continuous sled-style legs distribute weight evenly across the ground surface, making this more stable on uneven patio surfaces than four individual legs. The sled design also creates a modern visual profile that works in Contemporary and Transitional outdoor spaces.
4. 78-Inch Three-Seat Width -- Each seat measures approximately 26 inches wide, accommodating three full-sized adults without shoulder crowding. This width also leaves room for throw pillows or allows two people to stretch out comfortably.
5. Deep Seat Construction -- The 22-inch seat depth allows for full cushion sets with enough room for guests to sit back fully against the cushions rather than perching on the front edge like standard outdoor seating.
6. Made to Order Customization -- Available in 20+ MGP frame colors and 100+ Sunbrella fabric options, allowing coordination with existing outdoor decor or creation of a completely custom look. Lead time is 4-6 weeks for custom orders.
7. Commercial Grade Construction -- Built to Telescope's contract furniture standards, this sofa handles daily use in hospitality settings like hotel terraces, resort covered areas, and senior living outdoor rooms.
8. Assembly Required -- Ships in multiple boxes with hardware and requires approximately 45-60 minutes assembly time with standard tools. All connection points use stainless steel hardware to prevent corrosion.

Sizing Guide for Three-Seat Outdoor Sofas

The Leeward measures 78 inches wide by 32 inches deep by 38 inches high, making it suitable for covered patios that are at least 10 feet wide and 8 feet deep. Allow 18 inches of clearance in front for a coffee table, plus 3 feet of circulation space on at least one side for guest movement. For conversation groupings, position the sofa 6-8 feet from facing chairs with a coffee table or fire table centered between them.

This sofa works best in covered outdoor rooms rather than fully exposed patios because the deep cushions require protection from heavy rain and snow. Ideal placements include screened porches, pergola-covered areas, covered terraces, and three-season rooms. The high back design makes it particularly well-suited for spaces where guests will be seated for meals or extended conversations rather than brief lounging.

For patio size planning, the complete conversation set (sofa plus two facing chairs and coffee table) requires a minimum 12x10 foot covered area. Larger patios measuring 14x12 feet or more can accommodate additional side tables, planters, or an outdoor rug underneath the seating arrangement.

Covered Patio Design Integration

This Contemporary-style sofa pairs naturally with other angular, clean-lined outdoor furniture in similar scale. The slate gray MGP finish shown coordinates with most neutral outdoor color schemes and works particularly well with natural materials like teak coffee tables and concrete planters. Position the sofa as the anchor piece against the longest wall of your covered patio, then add matching or complementary lounge chairs facing it.

For covered patios, anchor the seating area with an outdoor rug sized so the front legs of all pieces sit on it -- typically 9x12 feet for a full conversation set. Add visual interest with contrasting outdoor throw pillows in patterns or bright colors that coordinate with your indoor rooms visible through windows or doors.

The high back design works especially well under pergolas or covered patios with outdoor wall art mounted behind the sofa. Flank the seating area with tall outdoor planters filled with architectural plants like ornamental grasses or small palms to create a room-like feeling in the outdoor space.

Ideal for homeowners with covered patios measuring 12x10 feet or larger who need primary seating for 3-4 adults and prioritize comfort over weather exposure. Interior designers specifying Contemporary outdoor furniture for high-end residential projects will find the made-to-order customization and 4-6 week lead time manageable for most project timelines. Well-suited for senior living covered terraces and hotel pergola areas where high back support and deep seating accommodate extended use by guests who may have mobility considerations.

Can this sofa stay outside year-round in all weather?

The MGP frame and hardware can handle all weather conditions, but the deep cushions should be stored indoors during heavy rain seasons or winter months. The sofa is designed for covered outdoor spaces rather than full exposure. Telescope recommends bringing cushions inside when not in use for more than a week.

How does Marine Grade Polymer compare to aluminum outdoor furniture?

MGP is non-porous and will never corrode, rust, or develop white oxidation like aluminum can in coastal environments. It's also warmer to the touch than metal and won't conduct heat or cold like aluminum frames do. However, MGP is heavier than aluminum, making this sofa less suitable for frequent moving.

What does "high back" mean for comfort and who needs it?

The 38-inch back height provides lumbar and shoulder support for adults up to 6'2" tall, compared to 32-34 inches on standard outdoor sofas. This is particularly important for covered patio spaces where people sit for meals or extended conversations rather than brief lounging. Older adults and anyone with back issues will find the high back more comfortable for extended seating.

Are the cushions included and what fabric options are available?

Cushions are included and available in over 100 Sunbrella fabric colors through Telescope's made-to-order program. The cushions feature weather-resistant construction, but should be brought indoors during heavy weather or when not used for extended periods.

How does this compare to CB2 or West Elm outdoor sofas?

This is commercial-grade construction built to last 15+ years with proper care, compared to 3-5 years typical for mass-market outdoor furniture. The MGP frame won't rust or corrode like steel-frame alternatives, and the made-to-order customization isn't available from big-box retailers. The trade-off is higher upfront cost and 4-6 week lead time versus immediate availability.

Is there a trade or volume discount for designers?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order requirement and approval in 1-2 business days. This compares to 25% at CB2 with $1,000 minimum orders. Apply at loomlan.com/pages/loomlan-trade-program.
