3. the type of clothing you have on
4. The dryness of the sofa
5. the dryness of the air.

Yes, a humidifier would reduce the problem, but not get rid of it. It would not harm most electronics. I would only use it whilst the room is being used, not let it run 24Hrs.. The extra humidity will do less harm than a bad static discharge would do to most stuff.

Surface treatment of the sofa with anti-static spray.
If you use a fine water spray, then you should also spray the floor coverings (carpet?)
Anti-static the carpet also.

Over time, as the sofa becomes more used, the problem will likely reduce. But I understand the need is NOW!
