The Pros and Cons of Different Types of Sectional Sofas

What are the different types of sectional couches?

Looking for a sectional sofa but unsure which type is best for your space? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. This post will explore some of our favorite sectional sofa types.

L-Shaped Sectional Sofas:

L-shaped sectional sofas are great because they’re versatile and they maximize seating space. One of the reasons we love L-shaped sectionals is their ability to fit into corners. They also look great in the center of a room with open space on all sides. We think they are an ideal choice for smaller living rooms.

Many L-shaped sectionals come with a chaise lounge. Some of our favorite models are designed to let you position the chaise on the left or the right. To suit your space, just move the chaise seat cushion and the ottoman from one side to the other.

Some models have pop-up beds hidden inside the sofa section and hidden storage compartments under the chaise. Overall, we think L-shaped sofa sectionals provide plenty of seating and a cozy lounging experience.

Modular Sectional Sofas:

Modular sectional sofas are a popular choice because they’re made up of individual pieces. Modular collections usually have a wide variety of pieces to choose from. You choose only the pieces you want and customize to fit your space.

Mix and match to get the perfect configuration that works for you. Some of our favorite styles have features like built in storage compartments, USB charging ports, and built-in cupholders.

Modular sectionals are also easier to rearrange and transport because you can move one piece or section at a time.

Reclining Sectional Sofas:

Reclining sectional sofas come with built-in recliners. Some models have a sofa section and a loveseat section connected by a wedge or a corner piece. The sofa section and loveseat section often have a recliner on each end.

Power reclining sectionals let you kick back and relax at the touch of a button. Reclining sectionals tend to be larger so they may take up more space. The pieces also tend to be a bit heavier so you may need an extra hand when you want to rearrange.

Some of our reclining sectional couches are considered to be zero-wall or wall-hugger designs. They’re designed to recline while minimizing the space required between the chair back and the wall. So you can place these sectionals closer to the wall, saving space while you recline in comfort.
