early 17th century: from French, based on Arabic ṣuffa .
wiktionary
Borrowed from French sofa, ultimately from Arabic صُفَّة (ṣuffa, “a long seat made of stone or brick”) or Aramaic צפא/ ܨܦܬܐ. Cognate with or derived from Aramaic צפא/ ܨܦܬܐ (ṣipā’, ṣeppəṯā, “mat, matting”). The word may have entered European languages via Turkish or through the Moorish occupation of Iberia.
