What is a sectional couch?

A sectional couch consists of several sections in various sizes and shapes. You can configure it in about any way you wish! It is essentially a modular sofa. It is one of the most practical pieces of furniture for any size living room, family room, or man cave. You can even use your sectional to reroute or separate heavy traffic patterns. Sectionals are great at expanding the seating options in your space.

Can you take apart sectionals?

Sectional sofas are designed for easy assembly with individual pieces. Some are modular to allow for the addition or removal of seat cushions and sections. They can either slide apart or screw together. Their structural stability remains intact during regular use. They only separate if when you choose.

Should I get a sectional couch for my living room?

What is the best sectional sofa for me?

Once you've decided to buy a sectional sofa, there are some things to consider to find the best sectional couch for your needs:

1. Room Layout and Size: Do you have enough room for a full-size sectional with a left chaise or sofa bed? Chaise sectionals are some of the most comfy sectional couches because they allow you to throw your legs up or seat even more people than a normal. Or does your living room need a smaller sectional sofa? Yes, you can get a sectional even with a small space. In fact, they are a great option to seat many people in a small living room because they are so configurable. We offer sectional couches in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to fit your space perfectly. When measuring your available space, also consider where you want the armrests facing.
2. Sectional Shape: If you choose an L-shaped sectional, you'll need to know if it's left-facing or right-facing. U-shaped sectional couches offer the most capacity and are especially great for group conversation. Curved sectionals fall somewhere between the others. They are conducive to more intimate or entertainment-driven settings. You also need to consider if you want a chaise sectional with room to extend your legs.
3. Style: Is your home traditional or modern? A rich brown leather sectional couch might be right. For something more casual, a contemporary design with overstuffed cushions and easy-to-clean upholstery means simple maintenance. The good thing about sectionals is that they come in a wide range of styles and materials.
4. Features: The last thing to think about is the features you want on your sectional. Do you like stationary or reclining seats? You can find reclining sectionals here. Do you want cupholders, a console loveseat, or a sofa bed? Do you like having the adjustable headrest?

How are sectionals measured?

It’s good to know what the sectional measurements mean.

1. Width: This is the longest side of the sectional. You can find the width by measuring along the back of the sofa.
2. Length: You measure the length from the back of the sofa to the end of whichever section protrudes the farthest forward.
3. Depth: You measure the depth between the front of the back cushion and the front of the seat. This lets you know how much room there is to lean back.

The average sectional is about 130 inches wide. A smaller, two-piece sectional would be about 112 inches wide. A large, three-piece sectional measures about 160 inches or more.
