Choose by your longest free wall: a half loveseat needs 37 inches, a loveseat 75 inches, an L-shaped set a 102-inch wall plus 75 inches on the second wall, and a U-shaped set a 130-inch wall with 75 inches on both sides. Every size uses the same 27.5-inch-deep, 4- or 8-inch-thick seat, so they mix and match.

Who is the half loveseat for?
A single 37-inch base with one backrest and one armrest. It fits a reading nook, the end of a bed, a bay window, or a child's room. It is also the piece people add to an existing set to fill a short wall.
Who is the loveseat for?
One full 75-inch base with two backrests. It lines one wall of a studio, a bedroom, a home office, or a small prayer room, and doubles as a single guest bed. The loveseat set adds two armrests, a rug, an ottoman, and three floor cushions, which turns one wall into a complete small majlis.
Who is the L-shaped set for?
Most living rooms. It uses a corner, seats five to six adults, and leaves two sides of the room open. The two bases can also run end to end as a 150-inch bench or face each other across a rug.
Who is the U-shaped set for?
Families who host often and have a dedicated room: a den, a basement, or a formal sitting room. Three walls of seating face the center, which is the classic arrangement for receiving guests. See L vs U for the full comparison.
Can I combine sizes?
Yes. Because every piece is the same depth and height, you can:
- Add a half loveseat to an L to fill a 37-inch gap beside a door.
- Put a loveseat on the wall opposite an L for a near-U in a long room.
- Split a U into an L for the living room and a loveseat for a guest room.
Match the thickness (4 or 8 inches) and, ideally, the fabric. If your wall is an unusual length, our custom order page takes exact measurements.
