L Shaped Couches & Sectionals
Shop L shaped couches and sectional sofas from Signature Design by Ashley and Benchcraft, in left or right facing layouts to fit your corner. Choose from stationary, reclining, sleeper and modular styles, most with multiple configurations so you can build the exact shape your room needs. Every L shaped sectional ships straight from the manufacturer's distribution center, so it arrives in days, not months.
An L shaped couch is a sectional sofa with two sides that meet at a right angle. It is either a sofa with a chaise on one end, or two sofa-length sides joined by a corner piece. It seats more people than a standard sofa in the same footprint, and it puts a corner to work that usually sits empty. Three decisions matter most: which way it faces, how big it is, and whether you want it to recline, sleep guests, or rearrange.
This is the part most people get wrong. "Facing" means you are standing in front of the couch looking at it, not sitting on it. A left arm facing (LAF) chaise is on your left as you look at the couch. A right arm facing (RAF) chaise is on your right.
To pick one, stand where your TV or focal point is and look at the corner where the sectional will go. The long side usually runs along the longer wall, and the chaise goes on the side that does not block a doorway, walkway, or window. Most of our L shaped sectionals come in both orientations. Open any product and use the configuration options to switch between them.
Stationary L shaped couches are the simplest and most affordable, with fixed seats and the widest choice of fabrics and colors. Reclining sectionals add manual or power recliners, often with a storage console and cup holders, and need a few extra inches behind them to open fully. Sleeper sectionals hide a pull-out mattress for guests. Modular sectionals are built from individual pieces you can rearrange, so the L can flip sides or grow later.
If you want leather, start with our leather sectionals, including the Emilia collection. Need more seats than an L can offer? A U shaped sectional wraps three sides of the room. You can also browse all sectional sofas in one place.
Almost. A sectional is any sofa built from more than one piece. The L shape is the most common sectional layout, which is why people use the two names interchangeably. Other sectional layouts include U shaped and fully modular designs.
LAF is left arm facing and RAF is right arm facing. Both are described from the point of view of someone standing in front of the couch and looking at it. A RAF chaise sits on the right side from that view.
On most models the orientation is fixed, so choose LAF or RAF carefully before you order. Modular sectionals are the exception, because their pieces can be rearranged whenever your room changes.
Often, yes. A two-piece sofa and chaise takes up little more room than a sofa and an ottoman, and it replaces a separate armchair. Compare the listed width and depth with your wall measurements, and keep at least 30 inches clear for walkways.
Every product shows a live estimated arrival window based on current inventory, and backordered items are clearly labeled. In-stock sectionals ship straight from the manufacturer's distribution center, so they arrive much faster than a made-to-order sofa.
Our L shaped sectionals come from Signature Design by Ashley and Benchcraft. We source directly from the manufacturer and do not run showrooms or warehouses, which keeps our overhead, and our prices, low.
