I can’t speak about the Burke, but I’m about the same size/height as your husband and we own two Ruby sofas. I find them plenty deep (I usually ignore the lumbar pillow) and very comfortable.
Before Mantle, our most recent experience had been waiting 10 months for an very underwhelming Lee sofa. Finding Mantle after that felt like winning the furniture lottery!
The purchasing process was simple, customer service was great, and they let me know when my sofas were completed and when they were shipped. The delivery (which went without a hitch) was actually about a week early!
The sofas themselves are solidly built — they’re heavy! The upholstery (heavyweight chevron in flax) is sturdy, too, and has held up to the abuse our two large dogs and two cats dish out daily. It’s also beautiful, and the overall quality of the materials and build is first rate.
We’re very, very happy with our sofas and will definitely buy from them again.
