1. Measure the area where you plan to use your sectional sofa before you order. Width and length refer to measurements from the outside of each arm rather than the seat dimensions.
2. Be sure to measure all doorways and entry points. If space is tight, don't rule out windows as a way to get a sectional sofa into your home.
3. We offer sectionals in a wide variety of styles and upholstery materials, including leather, microsuede, and more.
4. Prolong the life of leather sectionals with dusting. This prevents granules of dirt from grinding into the surface.
5. You may want to consider leather match sectional sofas as a cost-effective option. These sectionals feature leather on the seats and seatbacks, and a leather match which is a vinyl material on the sides and rear.
6. Sectional sofas with chaise lounge pieces are a popular choice. These provide additional seating and the option to kick up your feet.
7. We offer sectional cushions in three basic styles. Loose-back cushions are not attached. Tight-back cushions are seamlessly integrated into the back of the sectional sofa. Attached-back cushions look like loose cushions, but are attached to the sectional.
8. Look for sectional sofas with kiln-dried hardwood frames if you want top quality. Pine frames are decent and less expensive, but are not as durable.
9. Sectional sofas often have one of three basic spring systems. Standard springs are of respectable quality and relatively inexpensive. Sinuous springs use heavy-gauge steel and are more durable. Eight-way hand-tied springs offer the highest durability and support.
10. Some products may have information on cushion firmness and seat density. Common figures are 1.8, which is soft, and 2.25, which is firm.
