Sectionals

Choosing a sectional sofa

L-shape, U-shape or chaise

An L-shaped sectional fits a corner and leaves the rest of the room open. A U-shaped sectional wraps around three sides and seats the most people; for the largest rooms, see our large and oversized sectionals, and for tighter rooms, small sectionals. A chaise adds a place to stretch out without the footprint of a full corner, sectionals with an ottoman add a footrest or extra seat, and sleeper sectionals fold out into a bed. Our guide on how to choose a sectional covers left- and right-facing pieces too.

Fixed or modular

Modular sectionals arrive as separate seats you can rearrange, which also makes them easier to carry through narrow doorways.

Measure the whole footprint

Before you order, measure your room and every doorway, hallway and stair on the way in. Our guide to measuring for a sofa shows how, and the sofa finder checks the fit for you.

Delivery and returns

Every sofa ships to all 50 states for a flat $20 by curbside delivery, and most orders arrive within 5–10 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return it for free. See our shipping policy and returns policy.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a sectional couch?

Most L-shaped sectionals are about 90–120" on the long side and 70–100" on the short side; U-shaped sectionals run about 110–150" across. Each listing gives its own width and depth; see the sofa size guide for more.

What is a sectional?

A sectional is a sofa made of two or more pieces that join to wrap around a corner or form an L or U shape. Some are fixed configurations; modular sectionals can be rearranged.

Sectional or sofa?

A sectional seats more people and fills a corner or an open-plan room; a sofa is easier to move, fits more rooms and leaves space for chairs. Our guide on how to choose a sectional compares shapes.

What size sectional do I need?

Measure each wall the sectional will sit against, then leave 30–36" for walkways. L-shaped sectionals are typically about 90–120" on the long side; our sofa size guide lists standard sizes.

An L-shaped sectional usually seats four to six people, and a U-shaped sectional five to eight, depending on its length and seat width.
