Introduction
A healthy home is an overall home environment that meets the health and comfort requirements of the three aspects of physiology, psychology, and society, including furniture, home appliances and other household products, lighting environment, thermal environment, sound environment, odor environment and other related physical environment systems, as well as other related auxiliary support systems. A healthy home must not only meet the basic product performance quality and safety and environmental protection requirements, but also meet the ergonomic requirements of convenient operation, comfortable use and good experience. With the development of my country's economy and scientific and technological progress, in addition to the quality performance and safety and environmental protection of the product itself, people have put forward higher requirements for the humanization and user experience level of the product. Ergonomics aims to design and improve the product and environment system according to the physiological and psychological characteristics of people, achieve the best match between the human-product-environment system, and ultimately achieve the humanization of the product and environment system, creating safe, healthy, comfortable and efficient working and living conditions for people. Products that meet the requirements of ergonomics can effectively improve the comfort and use quality of the product and improve the user experience level. Therefore, in addition to meeting the basic performance quality and environmental safety standards of the product, the ergonomic requirements that reflect the humanized design and user experience level of the product have also become a necessary indicator for judging healthy homes. The sofas we use in our daily lives and work are of various types and styles. Whether it is function or appearance, they are constantly meeting the needs of people's daily lives and work. The evolution of sofas is also a process of people's continuous pursuit of comfort. Therefore, the study of sofa comfort is the application and development of our research on sitting comfort, and it is also an inevitable requirement to meet human pursuit of life comfort and happiness experience. Sofas are one of the main furniture products in modern living rooms, reception areas, and meeting areas of office spaces. Their ergonomic performance has an important impact on the safety, health and comfort of users. However, in daily life, sofas, as a symbol of comfort, often make people feel uncomfortable due to improper design. Therefore, modern design increasingly emphasizes the combination of sofa design and ergonomics. If the size of the sofa is unreasonable, the human body's muscles will be overly tense and fatigued, and the sofa soft seat will not have the effect it should have. Therefore, a good sofa design can reduce people's fatigue, make people healthy and happy. And a good sofa design benefits from the correct use of ergonomic principles. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the technical requirements and evaluation methods of sofas that meet the physiological and psychological characteristics of the human body according to the principles of ergonomics, so as to provide reference and basis for improving the quality and comfort experience of sofas.

Among them, the upper contact point is the contact point between the thoracic kyphosis of the spine and the backrest when a person sits on the seat, that is, the midline of the backrest is 460mm above the seat reference plane. If the upper edge of the backrest is greater than 460mm from the seat reference plane, the rear edge of the concave contact surface above the backrest is called the upper contact point. The lower contact point is the starting position of the sacrum plate when the human body sits on the seat, that is, the midline of the backrest is 110mm above the seat reference plane. If the lower edge of the backrest is greater than 110mm from the seat reference plane, the lower edge of the backrest is called the lower contact point. 4.1.5 Armrests
