I used Nabru for a large U shaped, not a particularly premium product by any means, but perfectly OK for the price, and a bespoke fit to any size.
Same goes for http://www.intosofa.com/, I bought two sofas from them.I can't remember if there were two different types of cushion for the seating, but mine is a little on the soft side
At work I deal with a number of upholstery manufacturers locally and we often commission our own designs.
Not as easy as you might expect and typically I had made a 3+2+1.5 seater for my daughter's house based on a combination of design features she had seen in multiple stores.
Product development was problem because our first one was a bit short in the seat and too low for comfort, then there was picking the fabric, filling and springing. I was able to sell off the prototypes in the shop and cut costs by doing a limited run of the finished product.
The people I'm thinking of are not IT contactable so if you think I can help then PM me!

Your best bet is contact your local Upholsterer ( I am one ) they can make what ever you need what ever size you need it, anything.
adapting a current sofa is the same as starting from scratch, I would offer to do you a quote but as i am traveling round asia at the mom it might take a while to get it done !
if you want to do it on the cheap there are some website that let you "design" your own, you obvisously have to go with their desighns and there premade sizes but they are a bad option if you like the look of them.
For a custom one speak to a craftsman, their will be loads in the yellowpages under upholstery
