1. Best Overall

Miranda 3-Piece Upholstered Sectional

The Miranda 3-piece upholstered sectional takes the number one spot on our list of the best sectional sofas because it combines everything you need into one sectional. To start, it comes with free white-glove delivery, which means professionals will deliver and assemble the piece for you and take all the boxes with them – so you don't have to do a thing! It also comes in one of five beautiful velvet upholstery finishes to add a luxe look and feel to your space. The gray velvet option is featured above, but you can also make a splash with green or navy or go neutral with cream or rich black options. To top it all off, the Miranda comes with not one but two chaise lounges attached to each end so everyone has a place to stretch out and relax.

2. Best Budget

Chaidez Vegan Leather Sectional

The best affordable sectionals should have you second-guessing the price, and that's exactly what the Chaidez vegan leather sectional brings to the table. Coming in under $2,000, this sectional is a steal (but doesn’t look it)! It comes in four vegan leather colors to give you the quality look of real leather without the price tag. Choose between dark brown (pictured above), black, off-white, or red faux leather upholstery to match your space. You also get a lot of seat room for the price because up to four people can sit and relax on the sectional at the same time. Choose between a left-facing and right-facing orientation at checkout to accommodate your living room layout.

3. Most Comfortable

Kian 2-Piece Slipcovered Sectional

The ‘most comfortable sectional’ award goes to the Kian slipcover sofa for so many reasons. To start, it has a down-filled and foam construction to create an ultra-cozy lounge experience. It also has a pillow-style back to add to its comfort level, plus it comes with two toss pillows for extra cushioning. Besides comfort, the Kian also takes seat room into consideration. It has three spacious seating options (one being the chaise lounge), so that everyone has more than enough room to sit and relax. You also have the option of 83 colors and patterns for this sectional!

4. Best for Small Spaces

Strummer Velvet Reversible Sofa & Chaise

The best sectional sofas are able to be scaled down to fit smaller spaces without compromising quality and style. That's why we had to include the Strummer sofa and chaise on our list. This sofa/chaise combo was made for cozy dens, home offices, apartments, or dorms. Measuring at 81.63" wide, this sectional sofa has everything you need in a compact profile. It also has a reversible chaise that makes it super flexible for renters who need to adjust their furniture to different living room layouts. It comes in six lush velvet color options, including ivory (pictured above), green, light green, charcoal, light gray, and black. Despite its compact frame, the Strummer has enough room for three people to sit comfortably.

5. Best Large

Blakey 8-Piece Upholstered Sectional

If you have ample room to play around with, a spacious sectional is the way to go. This roomy sectional takes the spot for the best large sectional sofa because it can seat up to eight people at a time or give a few people all the room they want. For context, the Blakey sectional is 195" long from end to end! The U-shaped design creates a welcoming conversation pit for family game nights around the coffee table or after dinner-party conversations. However, this sectional is modular and reversible so you can reconfigure it however you want.

6. Best Reversible

Geo 2-Piece Upholstered Sectional

You never know when you'll decide to rearrange the living room or move to a new place, which is why a reversible sectional is a must. The Geo 2-piece upholstered sectional is the best sectional sofa if you want the convenience of a reversible model with plenty of style. To reverse the sectional's L-shaped orientation to the left or right, all you need to do is lift up the chaise lounge cushion and slide the main sofa cushion over to fill the open space. Then slide the ottoman over to the other side of the sofa and replace the chaise lounge cushion back on top. It's as simple as that! To add to its flexibility the Geo sectional comes in over 10 upholstery colors from platinum (pictured above), ocean blue, and forest velvet to relaxed beige or gray heather fabric.

7. Best U-Shaped

6-Piece Upholstered Sectional

This 6-piece sectional sofa creates a cozy “U” shape that's perfect for family rooms or conversation areas. Each of the six individual pieces on this sectional come with hidden under-seat storage compartments to store electronics, extra blankets and pillows, books, and other lounge essentials – that's what makes it the best U-shaped sectional sofa on our list. This sectional is also technically modular so you can reconfigure the layout of the sectional however you like. Choose from bluish gray (pictured above), gray, and blue polyester upholstery to fit your interior aesthetic.

8. Best Curved

Steubenville 2-Piece Upholstered Sectional

Encourage conversation, cozy lounging, or both with the Steubenville curved sectional. This sectional will have you rethinking traditional square or rectangular sectionals altogether. It includes two pieces that you can position together (as pictured above) or separate to create two individual sofas. We love the look of this sectional in front of a fireplace or when placed directly across from another curved sectional because it looks so warm and cozy! This sectional sits up to six people and comes with the six toss pillows pictured above. Choose from cream, blue, or gray velvet upholstery to match your living room.

9. Best Modular

Espinosa 6-Piece Upholstered Sectional

The Espinosa is the best modular sectional if you like to change up the seating orientation while maintaining the piece's style and quality. This sectional comes as six pieces that you can place together or separate however you like. The above orientation shows how cozy it can be when all pieces are placed together. You can remove the outer center ottoman to create a classic U-shaped sectional or tag it onto one of the ends of the U-shape to make room for a coffee table. Or reconfigure the sectional to create a large L-shape with the ottoman acting as the coffee table in the center. There are so many ways to show off this sectional in your space!

10. Best Reclining

Kymisha Upholstered Sectional

The Kymisha takes the spot for the best reclining sectional because it does so much more than recline! This sectional has room for four people to sit or recline (as the sectional comes with four manual-activated recliners). The central console can act as a fifth seat in a pinch but it does not have a recliner. The Kymisha comes in either black (pictured above), gray, red, or white vegan leather to give you the buttery smooth appearance of real leather without the price. Each of the recliners have cool built-in lights that line the bottom, which makes the Kymisha a must-have addition to gaming rooms or home movie theaters.

11. Best for Families & Pets

Azden 2-Piece Upholstered Sectional Sofa

Whether you have kids, pets, or both, you need a sectional that's going to stand up to stains, scratches, pillow fights, or the occasional case of the zoomies. That's why we choose the Azden as the best sectional sofa for family spaces. Not only is it made with stain-resistant polyester fabric, but it also received an extra heavy-duty (30,000+) Martindale cycle rating, which refers to the amount of friction (or number of times) the fabric can withstand scratches before tearing or deteriorating. So you know this sectional is meant to last. The best part? All of the throw pillows you see come with the sectional! (ottoman not included).

12. Best Seat Depth

Luxe 2-Piece Upholstered Sectional

The best deep sectional sofa gives you so much seat room between the end of the cushion and the back of the sofa that you can curl up or sit cross-legged without hanging off the seat edge. That's why the Luxe 2-piece sectional should be on your radar. There is 36" of space between the edge of the seat cushion to the back of the sectional and 71" from the front to the back of the chaise lounge portion – so there’s plenty of space to lounge! For context, a standard sofa or sectional has a seat depth under 24". This sectional also comes with six toss pillows and is available in one of four colors. Choose between fog (pictured above), beige, navy, or smoke polyester-blends to match your space.
