I am only 5' as well and my feet NEVER touch the floor...I feel like the Lily Tomlin character "Edith Ann" sitting on most furniture I also have had some hip and knee issues that kept me from sitting "tailor style" on my sofa, which has been my default position for over 50 years. When we were sofa shopping last year my husband recoiled loudly at the idea of buying a smaller scale sofa that would fit my body better. Recently, at my chiropractor's suggestion, I bought a wooden footstool (found a hand made one at a local antique store) and it has made a lot of difference. I can sit on my sofa like a big girl.

I realize this post has nothing to do with H&M leather sofas....my point being that if you are like me and buying Barbie furniture is out of the question the footstool might be something to think about!
