Afghan Gul L-Shaped Floor Sofa Set
Floor Sofa Sets · L-shaped · 3 colors
Handmade in Istanbul
Built for a single wall, the Afghan Gul single floor sofa set pairs one 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) seat cushion with two backrests and two armrest bolsters, all woven with rows of octagonal gul medallions. Gold, maroon and navy blue are the three grounds, and the 10-piece full version adds an ottoman, a rug and three floor pillows.
The full piece list with sizes is below.
Cushions are pressed, rolled and vacuum-sealed for shipping and spring back to full size once you open them; they can't be re-compressed at home.
Your set ships in several boxes, typically two or three for an L-shape and more for larger layouts, and they may arrive on different days.
Every box gets its own tracking number, emailed as soon as your order ships.
Each shipment travels with a commercial invoice that lists the goods, their value, weight and materials.
Covers unzip and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent; avoid heat, which can shrink them.
Photographed in navy blue, gold and maroon.





Starting with a single 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) floor sofa seat is a sensible way to test low seating. Choose the fabric and thickness you would use later, and if it suits you, the rest of the room is planned around it.
From the atelier
Two routes work: order matching 4 in (10 cm) seat cushions and stack them on the ones you have, or order 8 in (20 cm) covers and refit the foam. Stacking is the simpler one. Send a daylight photo of your set so the fabric and pattern match.
From the atelier
Every set arrives with its covers and foam inserts, ready to use, with no stuffing or assembly.
The seat foam is firm to medium-firm; softer or firmer filling can be requested.

The 4 in (10 cm) and 8 in (20 cm) sets are the everyday choices; 12 in (30 cm) and 16 in (40 cm) cushions are usually made to order.
| Cushion thickness | Height from the floor | How it is built | Sits like |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in (10 cm) | 10 of 40 cm | The standard cushion | Classic floor-style seating |
| 8 in (20 cm) | 20 of 40 cm | One solid block, or two stacked 4 in cushions | The usual low seat, close to the floor |
| 12 in (30 cm) | 30 of 40 cm | Can be stacked: 8 in plus 4 in | Easier to get up from than a low seat |
| 16 in (40 cm) | 40 of 40 cm | Can be stacked: two 8 in layers | About the seat height of a regular sofa |
Stacked cushions are separate pieces, not sewn together, so a top layer can come off and serve as an extra floor mattress for guests.
Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing.
| Piece | Count | Size |

| Seat cushion | 1 | 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) |
| Backrest | 2 | 35.5 × 16 × 4 in (90 × 40 × 10 cm) |
| Armrest bolster | 2 | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) |
| Floor pillow | 3 | 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm) |

Two packages are offered: the first three rows on their own, or the full set. Foam goes into every cover at the atelier, so there is no stuffing and no assembly. Other woven patterns cut the same way are gathered under kilim-pattern floor sofa sets.
The seat cushion is 75 in (190 cm) long and 27.5 in (70 cm) deep. A 4 in (10 cm) backrest takes about 4 in (10 cm) of that depth, leaving roughly 23.5 in (60 cm) to sit on. Leave a little space at each end of the wall, since foam forgives a measuring error of only about 2 in (5 cm). Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.
A small room can start with the five seating pieces and leave the ottoman, pillows and rug for later. In a child's room, one seat with its backrests and both armrests already looks like a finished sofa. I would keep both armrests even there. A seat without ends looks borrowed. Single pieces in the same weave can be ordered any time.
| Seat | Best for | How it is built |
|---|---|---|
| 4 in (10 cm) | Floor-level and prayer rooms | One cushion, the standard build |
| 8 in (20 cm) | Daily family seating | One block or two 4 in (10 cm) layers |
| 12 in (30 cm) | Relatives who rise slowly | Usually made to order |
| 16 in (40 cm) | About regular sofa height | Usually made to order |
If anyone at home needs a hand getting up, I go thicker. Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing. Its foam sits firm to medium-firm. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.
Gul comes from the Persian gol, meaning flower. The octagons are the repeating medallions of Turkmen rug weaving, the look many people call an Afghan rug. Gold, maroon and navy blue grounds each sit above a plain band at the seat base. The weave is an indoor upholstery fabric. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order. The Afghan Gul pattern story follows the motif to the cushion.
The floor sofa thickness guide compares all four seat heights side by side.
The five seating pieces can be ordered on their own. The rug comes with the 10-piece full set, along with the ottoman and three floor pillows, and rugs can also be ordered separately.
Replacement foam, single cushions and covers-only sets can be ordered any time. Send each piece size and a fabric photo, and the team confirms what fits your colorway.
The backrests stand 16 in (40 cm) tall above the seat, so add your seat thickness and compare the total with the sill. They also need solid wall behind them to lean on.
