How Many Covers Do You Need for an L-Shaped Sectional Sofa?
If you have an L-shaped sectional sofa, you might be wondering whether one large slipcover is enough to cover the entire couch.
For most L-shaped sectionals, you'll need two separate stretch slipcovers: one for the main sofa section and another for the chaise lounge.
Here's why:
1. A better fit for each section
L-shaped sofas have two distinct sections. Using separate covers allows you to choose a suitable size for each part rather than trying to stretch one cover over the entire sofa.
2. Easier installation and adjustment
Covering each section individually makes it easier to position the fabric, tuck in excess material, and achieve a neater appearance.
3. More flexibility with different sofa sizes
Not all L-shaped sofas have the same dimensions. The main seating section and chaise may require different cover sizes.
How should you measure your sectional?
Measure the main sofa and chaise separately, following the surface of each section rather than measuring straight across. Then compare your measurements with the size chart for your chosen slipcover.
At Slipcover KAS, we offer a variety of sofa cover sizes and styles to help accommodate different sectional configurations. Understanding your sofa's layout is the first step toward finding a better fit.
Helpful tip: Before ordering, check whether your sectional consists of two separate sections and whether your chosen cover style is suitable for its shape.
