U-Shaped Sofas

What is a U-shaped sofa and who is it for

On a U-shaped sofa you sit on three sides, which means everyone faces everyone else and there is no 'bad' spot anywhere. That makes it ideal for large families, for anyone who regularly has plenty of guests and for spacious living rooms where you want to fill the middle beautifully. It also works nicely as a TV corner, with a view of the television from three sides. If you have a narrower room, an L-shaped corner sofa is often the better choice.

Sizing advice and clear space

Most U-shaped sofas measure 280 to 360 cm per side. Allow at least 4 by 4 metres of clear space all round, so you can walk around it comfortably. For made to measure work we build a U-shaped sofa to the exact dimensions of your living room, so it fits precisely. If you are unsure about the sizing, visit the showroom or put your situation to our advisers.

Version and materials

Choose from leather, fabric or velvet, with or without adjustable headrests and with or without an ottoman seat at one of the ends. The colour range is broad, from warm neutral tones to outspoken colours. If you are after even more arrangement options, take a look at our XL corner sofas for extra large layouts. With modular sofas you can often decide the layout yourself; with fixed U-shaped sofas the shape is usually set.

Caring for your U-shaped sofa

Plump the seat and back cushions regularly and vacuum the sofa with a soft brush, so everything keeps its shape. Treat stains as quickly as possible and follow the cleaning label for your upholstery. Keep leather supple with a suitable care product, and brush velvet in the direction of the pile. Preferably do not place the sofa in direct sunlight, so the colour stays beautiful.

What else goes with a U-shaped sofa

Finish your U-shaped sofa with a generous coffee table that suits the large layout, and consider a matching rug to bring the seating area together visually. In a large room you can combine the U-shape with a separate armchair or pouffe for extra flexible seating. That way you create a living room where everyone likes to gather.
