Welcome to Mytour Shopping's ultimate guide to the finest sectionals you can shop for online!
Let's dive into the details and the terminology.
What distinguishes a modular sofa from a sectional? Nothing! These terms are used interchangeably, referring to the same thing throughout this guide.
Sofa vs. couch, what's the distinction? A sofa and a couch are identical, and both names are used interchangeably here.
A sectional is a sofa that comes in either an L or U shape, achieved by adding a chaise lounge, ottoman, or additional seating to one side of a traditional sofa. L-shaped sectionals are the most popular choice today, though U-shaped sectionals remain a fantastic option, especially for large spaces, families, or those who enjoy hosting. Typically, L-shaped sectionals combine a sofa with a chaise lounge and are more compact than U-shaped alternatives.
What is a chaise? It’s a chair designed long enough to rest your feet on, often added at the end of a sectional to form an L shape.
What is a reversible chaise? L-shaped sectionals place the chaise on either the left or right side of the sofa, and a reversible chaise allows for flexibility in positioning it on either end. Instead of being a fixed piece, a reversible chaise consists of a regular chair with a separate ottoman and cushion, giving it the appearance of a chaise. This option is ideal for those who move frequently and need a modular sofa that adapts to new spaces.
How many seats do I need? The number of seats depends on how often you entertain, your household size, and available space. If you have roommates, children, pets, or multiple generations living together, a compact sectional that seats just three people may not be enough. The same applies if you're someone who loves hosting movie nights or TV marathons.
A note on sizing: Be sure to measure before purchasing a sectional. Some pieces arrive as two large parts, while others come as modular sections you assemble yourself. Many don’t have legs attached, so verify that the shipping boxes fit through your door, hallways, and tight corners. For apartment or condo dwellers, ensure the sectional fits in your elevator or stairwell. If a bulky piece won't fit, consider modular options that arrive in separate boxes for easier assembly on-site. Dimensions in this article will be listed as W (width) x D (depth) x H (height) to represent overall measurements.

9. A distressed vegan leather chaise sectional with gold legs from Albany Park, combining comfort and style seamlessly.
Dimensions: 114"W x 63"D x 35"H
Highlighted review: "This is our second Park sectional sofa. We purchased our first one in vegan leather for our Airbnb in March 2020. Initially, I was concerned about how firm it felt, but after using it a few times, it softened up nicely. Now, almost two years and countless rentals later, it's held up nearly perfectly. Aside from showing some wear, it has no rips, scratches, or damage. We receive many compliments on it.
Over Black Friday, we decided to buy another one for our home and opted for the gray fabric. We love it just as much, and it's the perfect size for our family of four. It arrived much softer than the vegan leather version. The medium firmness is ideal — comfortable without being too soft, and it holds its shape without needing constant fluffing. I didn’t notice the color closely before ordering, and it's a bit more speckled than we expected, but it's beautiful and will be perfect for the inevitable messes from our two toddlers." —Caitlin F.
Get it from Albany Park for $1,462+ (originally $2,089+; available with black or gold legs and seven fabric options).

Review: "This sofa is absolutely amazing. It fits perfectly in my space, and I couldn't be happier. The color and fabric quality are stunning. It feels like a $3,000 sofa and even passes the pet fur test. The only downside is that the corner pieces come with just one large back cushion, and I wish they included two." —Megan
