Sectionals

Sectional Sofas for Every Space

A sectional sofa boosts seating and creates a clean layout. Core formats include L-shaped, U-shaped, and modular designs. Choose based on room size, walkway clearance, and everyday use—movie nights, hosting, or guest sleepovers. We curate durable pieces from Ashley Furniture, Signature Design by Ashley, and Coaster, with fast delivery options.

Quick Planner: Get the Right Fit First

• Measure the zone: Longest wall, window/door clearances, and TV sightlines.
• Traffic flow: Plan 30–36" walkways; keep doors and drawers unobstructed.
• Modules vs fixed: Modular lets you add/change pieces later; fixed frames are streamlined and budget-friendly.
• Primary use: Hosting & conversation → U-shape; lounging & TV → L-shape with chaise.

Shapes & Layouts

• L-Shaped Sectionals – efficient for corners and open plans; comfortable 3–5 seat setups.
• U-Shaped Sectionals – conversation-friendly, maximum seating for larger living rooms and media spaces.
  Browse U-shape only: Filter: U-Shaped
• Modular Sectionals – piece-by-piece flexibility; look for a reversible chaise if you want orientation freedom.

Configuration Tips

• Left/Right choice: Face the sofa—left-hand chaise sits on your left; right-hand on your right. Unsure? Pick reversible.
• TV distance: Keep the main seat 1.5–2.5× the screen diagonal; angle ends slightly for better sightlines.
• Tables & lighting: Leave 14–18" from sofa edge to coffee table; add end tables where arms terminate.

Sizes & Use-Cases

• Small/apartment sectionals – compact footprints that keep traffic flow clear.
• Oversized & deep-seat sectionals – extra lounge depth and wide cushions for long sessions.
• 3-piece / 4-piece sectionals – easy delivery and flexible layouts; add modules over time.
• Left-facing / Right-facing chaise (left-hand/right-hand) – pick the orientation that fits your room; or choose reversible chaise.

Comfort Checklist

• Seat depth: 20–22" for upright sitters; 23–26"+ for lounge-friendly sprawl.
• Cushion feel: Foam-core for support; fiber/feather blend for sink-in comfort.
• Back height: Taller backs support movie nights; low backs read modern and airy.

Functions & Storage

• Sleeper sectional for guests — see Sleeper Sofas.
• Power/manual reclining comfort — full-body relax; USB, cup holders, and storage consoles available.
  Browse reclining only: Filter: Reclining Sectionals
• With ottoman or chaise for leg support; add hidden storage modules to reduce clutter.

Power & Motion Essentials

• Wall-hugger/zero-wall: Full recline with minimal rear clearance—great for tight rooms.
• Zero-gravity: Elevates legs to ease pressure during long lounge sessions.
• Tech conveniences: USB/Type-C charging, console storage, and power headrest/lumbar options.

Upholstery & Materials

Pick the look and care level you prefer:
• Leather & faux leather — sleek, easy-wipe finishes.
• Fabric (bouclé, chenille, corduroy, linen-like, velvet) — soft texture and cozy feel.
• Performance fabrics / stain-resistant — pet-friendly and family-friendly care.

Care & Maintenance

• Performance fabric: Blot spills promptly; vacuum regularly to keep fibers fresh.
• Leather & faux leather: Wipe clean with a soft cloth; condition real leather periodically; avoid direct sun/heat.
• Mechanisms: Keep recliner tracks clear; use a surge protector for power modules.

Colors & Styles

From black sectional sofas to neutral gray, beige, ivory, white, pick a palette that fits your scheme. Aesthetic choices range from modern and contemporary to mid-century, transitional, and farmhouse. Curved silhouettes add a soft, loungey feel; track arms read modern, while rolled arms skew classic.

Style Notes (2025)

• Curved & modular silhouettes soften lines and adapt as your space changes.
• Textural weaves & bouclé pair well with warm woods and matte metals.
• Layered neutrals (taupe, greige, oatmeal) with bold accent pillows for easy refreshes.

Fit & Delivery

• Room planning: Measure the longest wall and leave 30–36" of walkway.
• Delivery path: Compare the largest piece/carton to door width, stair turns, and elevator size.
• Quick check: Use our Furniture Fit Calculator; see Delivery Policy and Financing.

Assembly & Setup

• Piece count: Many sectionals ship in modules for easier entry; attach brackets and legs on arrival.
• Rug sizing: Aim for front legs on the rug; typical sizes 8×10 or 9×12 anchor most layouts.
• Cable management: For power pieces, plan outlet access behind the console or under the chaise.
