The Best Compact Sectionals for Comfort and Style
A sectional sofa is the best option for creating a comfortable seating area in your living room, but it can take up a lot of space. Fortunately, there are plenty of compact sectionals available to fit in tricky areas, from apartments to houses with small living rooms. But since sectional sofas are more expensive than regular couches, you want to make sure you're investing in one that's actually worth the splurge.
The fiber scientists and engineers in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab evaluate couches for a wide range of needs — from sleeper sofas for overnight guests to affordable couches for anyone on a budget. When it comes to sectionals for small spaces, we considered compact versions of our top-tested sectionals along with stylish and cost-effective options that are perfect for apartments.
