Thin contrasting lines cross the long, loose pile, a look borrowed from Beni Ourain-style rugs, and each cover is handmade in Morocco. ## Questions buyers ask ### Does the deep pile make the Atlas Shag Wool seat soft to sit on? The pile is soft to the hand, but it covers a 6 in (15 cm) foam cushion that is firm to medium-firm, so you sit on the couch rather than sink into it. The pile adds warmth and a rug-like feel on top, not extra depth to the seat. ### Can the Atlas Shag Wool be made in a length other than its four sizes? The Atlas Shag Wool is made in four set lengths, 47 in (120 cm), 59 in (150 cm), 71 in (180 cm) and 83 in (210 cm), all 27.5 in (70 cm) deep, rather than to the exact length of a wall. Between two sizes, take the shorter couch and leave the spare floor at one end, or place two couches end to end along a longer wall. ## How many pieces come with each Atlas Shag Wool length? | Length | Seat cushion | Back pillows | Lumbar pillows | Pieces | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 47 in (120 cm) | 47 × 27.5 × 6 in (120 × 70 × 15 cm) | 2 of 23.5 × 16 in (60 × 40 cm) | 1 of 19.5 × 12 in (50 × 30 cm) | 4 | | 59 in (150 cm) | 59 × 27.5 × 6 in (150 × 70 × 15 cm) | 2 of 29.5 × 16 in (75 × 40 cm) | 1 of 19.5 × 12 in (50 × 30 cm) | 4 | | 71 in (180 cm) | 71 × 27.5 × 6 in (180 × 70 × 15 cm) | 3 of 23.5 × 16 in (60 × 40 cm) | 2 of 19.5 × 12 in (50 × 30 cm) | 6 | | 83 in (210 cm) | 83 × 27.5 × 6 in (210 × 70 × 15 cm) | 3 of 27.5 × 16 in (70 × 40 cm) | 2 of 19.5 × 12 in (50 × 30 cm) | 6 | The seat is a foam insert inside a shag cover. Covers are handmade in Morocco, so they may reach you in a different parcel from the foam, and your quote lists every piece before you confirm. The Atlas Shag Wool shares its lengths with the other patterns among our [Moroccan-style floor couches](https://orientalsofa.com/moroccan-floor-seating/), so the choice between them comes down to the cover. ## What is it like to sit on a deep shag pile? To my eye, the couch reads more like a rug pulled up the wall than like upholstery. The pile is long and loose, and people tend to sit cross-legged on it, a lumbar pillow pulled into the lap. The fine lines borrow from Beni Ourain-style rugs, a deep pile crossed by a thin contrasting line. If you would rather have a flatter cover with a stronger pattern, the [Atlas Diamond couch](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/atlas-diamond-moroccan-style-floor-couch/) draws lozenge lines across the same lengths. > A low seat keeps everyone close enough to share one plate. ## Black, beige or gray: which pile suits a busy room? Black shows the white lines most clearly and forgives the crumbs of a long family evening. Beige keeps a small room light, and gray sits between the two. Gray is not among the photographed couches, so ask us for a daylight photo before choosing it. The back pillows need a wall to lean on, so give the couch its own stretch of wall. ## How firm is the 6 in (15 cm) seat, and can it be thicker? The standard seat is 6 in (15 cm) of firm to medium-firm foam. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. The couch is not made thicker in any of its lengths. The foam usually arrives pressed and vacuum-sealed. Open it within about a week and give it about a day to recover before it goes into its cover. For how 6 in (15 cm) compares with other seat heights, the [seat height guide](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/floor-sofa-thickness-and-seat-height/) lays out the options. ## Who ends up on the low couch at the end of an evening? In many homes, the low couch is where the last guest stays talking after the plates are cleared, and where the youngest visitors end up asleep against a lumbar pillow. A deep pile makes that corner feel like part of the floor. 1. Measure the wall along the floor and note any door or window that cuts it. 2. Pick the length and the color, black, beige or gray. 3. Send both with a room photo, and say if the couch should meet another at a corner. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can two Atlas Shag Wool couches meet in a corner? Yes. Each couch is a separate piece, so a 83 in (210 cm) on one wall and a 47 in (120 cm) on the next can meet at a corner. Leave one seat depth, about 27.5 in (70 cm), for the corner itself, and plan both lengths before ordering. ### Is a rug included with the Atlas Shag Wool couch? No rug comes with the couch. Each length arrives as the seat cushion with its back pillows and lumbar pillows, so the rugs in the photos are only styling and any rug you already own can sit in front of it. ### Which Atlas Shag Wool length suits a 98 in (250 cm) wall? A 83 in (210 cm) couch leaves about 16 in (40 cm) for a side table or a plant, while a 71 in (180 cm) leaves room for a small table and a floor lamp. Measure along the floor, since baseboards and radiators can shorten the usable length. ## Related pages - [Atlas Cotton Floor Couch](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/atlas-cotton-moroccan-style-floor-couch/) - [Atlas Stripe Couch](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/atlas-stripe-moroccan-style-floor-couch/) - [Yemeni Jalsah for Long Halls](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/yemeni-moroccan-star-jalsah/)
