Need a large sectional sofa with queen sleeper and corner wedge

15 years ago

I'm trying to find a large sectional with a corner wedge and queen sleeper in it. It has proven to be very difficult - the only ones I could find in the stores were close to $15,000. I saw a couple of websites of manufacturers in North Carolina that have exactly what I need, but you can't try out the couch anywhere b/c there's no retail store - only on the web. One in particular is Carolinachair.com Has anyone had experience with them or do you have suggestions of where to look for this sofa? I'm getting extremely frustrated!

You're right when you say custom sectionals are hard to find, especially with a sleeper sofa option. I found and eventually purchased a sectional like the one you describe above from clubfurniture.com. They have a variety of fabric, leather and slipcovered corner wedge sectionals that can be built to fit your room dimensions. I've included a link below to their sectionals page. Good luck!

Does this faux-sectional fit?

I think if I re-work the room this way it might fit better. I'm not sure abut a chaise-sectional because I worry it won't be comfortable to sit on the chaise side and look at the fire: This room is used the most in the fall & winter. I was thinking sectional sofa because it would give space for laying down and sitting. When we have people over, it's nice to have a conversation grouping but when it's just us and the dog a sectional seems like it allows for more lazy lounging. I like the look of this, it just needs to swap which side gets the long versus short piece: So it would be a corner + 1 arm chair piece + 1 loveseat piece. I need to find out if these pieces can fit into the dimensions on the plan (sectional on the floor plan is 6' by 7'8", or 72" x 92"). I like the corner piece on this style because it has a teeny bit of leg room. I don't think it's enough leg room that someone would sit there and hang their legs down, but if you are sitting on either side of the corner you aren't fighting for foot space as much. I think/hope it works out that way, at least.

Sectional Sofas...a good idea? or don't go there?

Just to update, we finally ordered a sectional from Century. It is L shaped with a loveseat on one wall and a sofa length on the other. The good thing is that it is 43" deep so it should be very comfortable to lay on. We chose a chenille type fabric in a greenish tone. We started the room's decor off by picking 2 oriental rugs and pulling colors from that. The sofa comes with 7 throw pillows, so I chose 2 different fabrics for 4 of those. We'll see if it works or not when it comes in! On another note, once we started to choose decor, we realized the color on the walls was pukey and we had to get the painters back to change from blue to brown. I'm so glad we did that. It really warms up a basement room with no windows. The lighting is what made color selection so tricky. Also in there, we got a leather recliner from Hancock & Moore. And the really neat looking Wisteria Barn door coffee table. Funny thing is that when it arrived, it really did smell like a...barn door! Fortunately that smell has disapated.

If you had to do it over - would you buy a sectional?

I wouldn't buy one for the victorian because we try to stay more victorian in here ;) But for our townhouse in alaska, yes if mine ever died a terrible death we'd replace it. It's a natuzzi so it will likely live longer than us (which is good because we had to remove a window to get it in the family room). Very comfy, love the corner and it works incredibly well for a family. That said, I'd never put one in a formal space. I don't like their informal aspects. And that is totally a sectional snob talking because I have to admit I've seen several that are rather formal and quite lovely (some here even) so the "no sectional in formal spaces" thing is just my snob talking. Or maybe it's because I like to separate our guests LOL They might start poking and pinching if all on the same sofa :oP The one thing I think (to me) that makes a sectional not work well is the inability to get up and walk away from it without putting your bumm in someone's face due to a close coffee table. Much like getting out of the window seat on an airplane. It's not fun for anyone involved :oP So put the sofa table a bit aways so people aren't forced to do this??? Or better yet use a couple of tables (matched) so that people are able to get up and walk straight :o)

Sectional or regular sofa - Could you show your pictures

BKO, you really need to go to a furniture store and give the "butt test" to some sectionals with chaises to see if they will work for you. Being short, plump, arthritic, and not getting any younger ;-) I found the chaise part quite awkward to get up from, especially on a very deep/squooshy sectional as so many are, so they were eliminated from consideration almost immediately. Other people think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread so you really have to try it and decide for yourself. Even if a PB store near you doesn't have the right model, they're made by Mitchell Gold so you could look for a retailer selling MG, or just look for something with similar dimensions and proportions. Personally, I think that a regular style sectional would be better for sleepovers. This is the one we picked out: Flexsteel Jennings but envision one side with three cushions, not counting the corner, instead of two. It came out to something like 90x110-ish, luckily DH isn't overly tall so we both have room to stretch out. I really liked the cut-back arms for reducing the visual mass (but there's still enough arm to rest a head on comfortably! LOL) and having all square cushions means they can be shifted around in hopes that they'll wear more evenly.

I had checked out their website already and it sounds good. I just want to make sure that it's a quality product and not one of those "you get what you pay for" things. Have you gotten your sofa yet and are you happy with it? What about the quality of the fabric and the feel of the cushions? I want a sofa that is pretty cushy and I was going to upgrade to the down option. Please let me know your impressions - it would be really helpful. I was also researching a sofa from Carolinachair.com. They seem to have a little bit better quality and better fabric choices, but the sofa I want is also about $2,000 more and I don't know that it's worth spending the extra money. Any input is appreciated.

I've been looking at Sherrill recently - I know they have sleepers and sectionals - don't know if they have a combo or what you need - but you could do a dealer locator search at their website and call.
