Sectionals

Sectional couch sizes and room fit

A sectional couch should fit the room with walkways left open on every side. Widths here run 54.3 to 170 inches and depths 30.7 to 124 inches, so measure both walls a sectional will sit along, not just one.

Mark the footprint on the floor with painter's tape, leave about 18 inches to the coffee table and around 30 inches for walkways, and check that each section fits through doorways and up stairs.

Modular sectional couch layouts

A modular sectional couch is made of separate pieces that you can rearrange, add to or split up. Most sectionals here are modular, in L-shaped, U-shaped and curved layouts, and select models need no assembly.

Sections usually join with brackets or clips under the frame, so on many modular designs an L layout can be split up or reshaped when you move rooms.

L-shaped sectional couch and chaise options

An L-shaped sectional couch fits into a corner and uses two walls, while a U-shaped design wraps around a coffee table for bigger groups. Some models add a chaise for stretching out, and some include a matching ottoman or storage.

Before ordering a fixed layout, check which side the chaise or long end sits on, usually described as left-facing or right-facing as you face the couch.

Sectional couch with recliner seats

A sectional couch with recliner seats lets one or more people put their feet up, with power recline on some models and manual recline on others. Select models add USB charging, cup holders, a center console, LED lights or speakers.

Reclining seats need open floor in front, and standard designs need space behind to tilt; wall hugger models can sit closer to the wall.

Leather sectional couch and fabric choices

A leather sectional couch here comes in genuine leather, vegan leather or bonded leather, and fabric models include chenille, corduroy, velvet, boucle, linen and sherpa. Gray, black, green and brown are the most common colors.

Construction varies by model: some list a solid wood frame, often with plywood or MDF panels, and some use a metal frame. Vacuum fabric regularly and dust leather with a soft dry cloth.
