with a natural living style.

The choice of leg has a major effect on how your EGO sofa looks. We offer a large choice of stylish
leg elements in many different designs. In wood or metal, as a brace leg or skid – all our feet are
perfectly matched to the various side elements. It’s entirely up to you.

seating
comfort
How do you like to sit? With Rolf Benz EGO, we offer three
completely different cushion concepts: soft, medium and firm
seating comfort levels. The back cushions are always in line with
the grade of comfort of the seat cushions. To find the level of
comfort that you prefer most, we recommend that you try out all
three comfort levels at one of our trading partners on the specially developed Rolf Benz EGO test chair. Here, different seat
depths (see page 38) and seat heights (see page 39) can also be
simulated, and so you can choose the combination of seating
comfort, seat depth and seat height that suits you best.
Soft*
Increased “give” and gentle seat support
through a soft, coordinated combination of
viscoelastic foam and polyether foam, worked
into a filled mat separated by ticking chambers.
36
Medium
Stability of shape, slight “give” and comfortable
seat support through a highly elastic combination of viscoelastic foam and polyether foam,
worked into a filled mat separated by ticking
chambers.
Firm*
Firmer seat cushion for good support achieve
through a sandwich construction made up of
several layers of high-quality polyether foams
and varying density in combination with a nonwoven/foam composite mat.
* not possible with ottoman and
ottoman stool
37
seat depths
To meet your individual requirements when it comes to sitting comfortably, EGO comes in the seat depths
52 cm, 55 cm and 62 cm*. If you like to sit upright with comfortable support, your best choice is 52 cm or
55 cm. The 62 cm seat depth is perfect for tall people and/or a more relaxed position.

accessories
