How long is a typical 3 seater sofa in Asia? I was told it is 7 foot but, there are some 3 seaters that are shorter.

Most Asians have very small butts (I've seen 8 get out of a Kancil for example) so I don't suppose they worry too much about the length. They could fit the whole extended family on a Western 3 seater LOL (Lucky bees).
I bought a sofa here the size of a small boat just to see how many of my Asian family could sit on it at any one time, I think the record is about 8 at the moment! I myself have a large Western butt so demand a good third when in true spread out mode!
Places like IKEA are good to look at bcoz they cater to all sizes and don't worry about categorizing how many people should sit on it. I'd offer a variety but don't forget that Asian culture means males & females can't sit together, most like sitting on the floor, it's mostly men that will sit on it, they only use sofas for visitors really and they LOVE Louis XIV style regency, pomp and chinoisery with carvings and gawdy colours, if possible a little gold too! The Chinese like their Rosewood though.
