ᐅ What maximum sofa width would you recommend?

I would like to point out that either your dimensions or the drawing are incorrect. With 3.55 meters (11.65 feet), the stair wall can only be a maximum of 120cm (47 inches) long.
But since you haven't been online since yesterday, are you no longer interested in this and other opinions?

I might be a bit unusual, but most of the time I’m sitting or lying on the couch... not standing in front of it admiring how nicely it fits into the room and how decorative the 50cm (20 inches) of free space on the left and right are, which could have been used for more seating.

But having the audacity to be offline here for 2 days is really something. Shame on you!

PS:
Well, I have two kids, so sometimes function takes priority over interior design. Not everyone understands that.

Your behavior doesn’t really interest anyone, as usual…!

At least he now realizes that he is a bit of an oddball.
From my own experience, I can definitely say that having two children does not automatically mean you would squeeze your sofa into a room with a 2cm (0.8 inch) gap. We are not planning to do that.

Or maybe someone wants to raise their children to use the sofa as a stool.
There was a floor plan discussion here once where the original poster insisted on leaving 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the sofa so that their child could playfully walk around it, just like they did when they were younger.

Admittedly, we used to have about 1 meter (3 feet) between the sofa and the wall, and this walkway, which was only open on one side, was thoroughly used by us kids for playing. You could hide there, build a fort out of cushions and blankets... that’s something special.
