U-Shaped Sectionals

Is a U-shaped sectional right for your room?

A U-shape needs space on three sides: measure the main run and both returns, and leave a walkway of 30–36" in front and around it. Our sofa size guide shows what fits which room. If the room is tight, an L-shaped sectional gives most of the seating in less floor space.

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.

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 is a pit sectional?

A pit sectional, or conversation pit couch, is a deep, low sectional that wraps around on three or four sides so everyone faces in, like the sunken living rooms of the 1970s. A deep U-shaped sectional, especially with an ottoman in the middle, gives a similar lounge-pit feel without building anything into the floor.

How much space does a U-shaped sectional need?

Allow the sectional's full width and depth plus 30–36" walkways around it, and 14–18" between the seats and any coffee table or ottoman in the middle. Our living room layout guide covers the spacing.
