4: In the scene tab under the sofa you know have the D-Former Base and the D-Former Field
Select the D-Former Field
As you can see the field covers the entire sofa.
but you only want to use the dform effect where the hands is.
its too large as it is now so under parameters select the scale slider and start to scale the field down.

8: To finetune the pressed area you may need to move the "field" (Not the D-Former) with X or Z and in this chase where the hand is bend down some i had to
rotade the D-Former with the X rotate slider.
And for sofas or beds they are not that soft right so when you press it an larger area will be affected.
for this i had to scale UP the field some so the pressed area got bigger.

9: Thats for one hand but there is two
now you can cheat.
Select the D-Former field and under parameters right click on it and select Copy/Copy Selected items.
Now Select the sofa again and create one more D-Former.
Select the D-Former2 field and right click and select Paste/Paste to Selected items.
Now the second D-former field wil be an exact copy of the first one so you dont have to scale it down again.
Move the second D-Former field to the second hand and adjust the Y value for the second D-former.

One tip: you need to use a sofa or bed with high poly count otherwise it will look strange
