Choosing the Best L-Shaped Sectional
Why Trust Big Sandy Superstore?
L-shaped sectionals feature two to three cushions with an adjacent one to two cushion loveseat. Although sometimes the loveseat part of the sectional has been replaced with a sofa chaise. L-shaped sectionals are great for those with big families or those who like to host guests. They are also one of the best types of sectionals for small rooms, as the L-shape fits perfectly into the corner of a room, allowing there to be more free floor space overall. Below we’ll break down the types of L-shaped sectionals and provide buying tips for choosing the best L-shaped sectional couch for you and your space. Finally, we’ll showcase five top-rated L-shaped sectionals.
Types of L-Shaped Sectionals
There are a variety of L-shaped sectionals on the market including modular sectionals, symmetrical sectionals, and more. The type of L-shaped sectional you purchase depends on your space and needs. Below are 5 types of L-shaped sectionals that you can find.
Left-Facing Sectionals
A left-facing sectional is one where the arm of the sectional is on the left side when you are facing the sectional. This means that the part of the sectional that is the chaise is on the opposite side of the sectional.
Right-Facing Sectionals
Compared to a left-facing sectional, a right-facing sectional is the exact opposite. Rather than the arm of the sectional being on the left side, it is found on the right side. The chaise piece is then located on the left side of the sectional.
Modular Sectionals
Modular sectionals are the most flexible type of sectionals as the pieces can be moved and configured into multiple layouts. Each seat is an individual module, including the chaise. With modular sectionals, you don’t have to worry about getting a left-facing or right-facing sectional as a modular sectional can be one or the other.
Symmetrical Sectionals
Symmetrical sectionals are just what they sound like—a sectional that has an equal number of seats on each side of it. Symmetrical sectionals can be slightly curved or in an L-shape.
Sectionals with Extra Features
There are also sectionals that have been designed with extra features such as reclining seats and/or the ability to convert to a sleeper bed. Sectionals with reclining seats usually have power-operated buttons that can be pushed to slowly recline any given seat. As for convertible sectionals, they feature a pull-out bed to easily transition a part of the sectional into a sleeping space.

SectionalsChoosing the Best L-Shaped Sectional
There are a few major things to look for when choosing the best L-shaped sectional sofa. Here are some things to consider.
Size
Of course, you want to make sure the L-shaped sectional you choose will fit perfectly in your space. Measure your space to get an idea of how big your sectional can be and what layout you prefer. You don’t want your sectional to take up all the space in your sitting room or the room will appear smaller than it is.
Features
L-shaped sectionals can come with a variety of handy features like built-in storage consoles, cupholders, and built-in USB chargers. There are also power-operated L-shaped reclining sectionals. Think about what you and your family would use often and would like to see in your next sectional.
Fabric and Color
Sectionals also come in a variety of fabrics and colors. When it comes to fabric, you may want to look for a 100% polyester sectional or L-shaped leather sectional (faux leather works too) if you have small children or pets since those fabrics are easier to maintain. As for color, consider the style of your living room and what would look best. The sectional will most likely be the focal point of the room and brighter or bolder colors will make more of an impact whereas subtle colors will blend better in the room.
