Find your perfect size + shape.

1) Choose Your Shape

Pick based on how you want the room to feel and how you use it.

  • How it affects the space

    • Keeps the room feeling open and flexible

    • Leaves more “living space” for kids playing, extra chairs, or walking paths

    • Makes rearranging the room easier

    What it’s like to live with

    • Great if you like a cleaner look and don’t want the couch to dominate the room

    • Easy to add an ottoman and still get that stretch-out comfort

    • Best when you want the couch to be part of the room, not the whole room

    Your space is a great fit if

    • You have a smaller living room

    • You need multiple walkways through the space

    • You like to change layouts or move furniture around

  • How it affects the space

    • Anchors the room and makes it feel cozy and intentional

    • Defines the living area (especially in open concept homes)

    • Gives you a “main hangout corner” without taking over the whole room

    What it’s like to live with

    • The easiest “sectional life” layout: people naturally spread out

    • Great for TV viewing because everyone faces the same direction

    • Feels bigger than a sofa, but still practical day to day

    Your space is a great fit if

    • Your TV is on one main wall

    • You want a dedicated lounging area

    • You usually seat 3–5 people most nights

  • How it affects the space

    • Turns the living room into the gathering spot

    • Fills out larger rooms so they don’t feel empty

    • Creates that “everyone’s included” setup because people face inward

    What it’s like to live with

    • More real seats and fewer “I’ll sit on the floor” moments

    • Best for families, hosting, and movie nights

    • It becomes the centerpiece—your room feels finished

    Your space is a great fit if

    • You have a wider living room or a big seating area

    • The living room is where everyone ends up

    • You want maximum seating without adding extra chairs

2) Make Sure It Fits and Flows

You don’t need perfect measurements—just two quick checks:

  • Measure your seating area width + depth

  • Leave a comfortable walkway where people naturally pass through

Simple rule: keep your main path clear (entry → kitchen → hallway).

Useful Tips

  • This is the comfort upgrade that changes how you use the couch.

    If you stretch out most nights → get an ottoman.
    If you sit upright most nights → you can skip it (or add later).

    Why it matters (real life reasons):

    • A true chaise is fixed—an ottoman isn’t

    • Want the lounge spot on the other side? Move it

    • With kids, it’s usually safer than a hard coffee table

    • Add a tray on top and it functions like a coffee table

    • It doubles as extra seating when friends come over

    What it feels like day to day

    • Ottoman setups make the couch feel more relaxed and “lived in”

    • People naturally create their own spots without you needing a bigger couch

  • This is where modular wins and why people come back for additions.

    Start with the right base, then build

    • You can start smaller and add pieces later

    • The key is choosing the right shape first (Sofa vs L vs U) so it fits your room properly

    • Reversible cushions help even out wear and extend the life

    • Rotate cushions/pieces so the “favorite seat” doesn’t get beat up

    • If something ever gets damaged, you can replace a cover/piece instead of replacing the whole couch

    • Back cushions: You can add a little polyfill to plump them up and keep a “showroom fresh” look over time.

    • Protect the high-wear zones. Arms and front edges take the most abuse—use a throw/arm cover if you’ve got kids, pets, or heavy daily use.

    • Wash schedule beats panic cleaning: spot clean weekly, full cover wash only when needed—keeps fabric looking new longer. We recommend Folex for spot cleaning.

    Washing basics (simple):

    • Zip covers closed before washing

    • Cold wash, gentle cycle with mild detergent (skip bleach/harsh cleaners)

    • Air dry

    • Make sure covers are fully dry before putting them back on

    • Back cushions

      • Atlas: stitched with a ribbed/outlined edge look

      • Haven: cleaner/flat edge look

    • Throw pillows (on corner pieces)

      • Atlas: 2 throw pillows per corner

      • Haven: 1 throw pillow per corner

    • Lumbar pillows

      • Atlas: includes lumbar pillows

      • Haven: no lumbar pillows

    • Ottoman

      • Atlas: storage ottoman

      • Haven: standard ottoman (no storage)

    • End pieces

      • Haven: uses dedicated arm pieces

      • Atlas: uses corner pieces on the ends

    Everything else is the same: dimensions, frame, cushion feel/foam density, etc.
