What is the Standard Cost for a Sectional Sofa?

On average, a sectional sofa costs between $1,500 and $6,000, depending on size, materials, and features. Smaller, stationary sectionals with standard fabric upholstery typically fall at the lower end of this range.

Larger sectionals with multiple seating modules, premium materials, or reclining features tend to cost significantly more.

Sectionals are usually more expensive than traditional sofas because they require additional framing, more upholstery, and modular construction that allows for different layouts.

Higher-quality sectionals also focus on long-term comfort and structural durability rather than short-term affordability.

Factors That Affect the Cost of a Sectional Sofa

Several industry-wide factors influence how much a sectional sofa costs. Understanding these elements will help you make informed decisions based on your space, lifestyle, and budget.

1. Size and Configuration

The size and layout of a sectional have the biggest impact on price. Larger sectionals require more raw materials, additional support structures, and more labour during manufacturing.

Common configurations include:

• L-shaped sectionals, which are often the most affordable and work well in rectangular rooms
• U-shape sectionals, which provide maximum seating and typically cost more due to extra sections
• Chaise sectionals, which combine a sofa with a lounge extension and suit smaller spaces
• Curved or cuddle corner sectionals, which add visual interest and increase production complexity

According to Sandra, each added seating module or design feature increases the overall cost. Larger configurations are ideal for families or entertaining, but they come with a higher investment.

2. Fabric and Leather Upholstery

Upholstery choice affects both the appearance and price of a sectional. Standard fabric options are generally the most affordable and offer a wide range of colours and textures.

Performance fabrics, such as stain-resistant options like iClean, increase cost but improve durability and ease of maintenance.

Leather and specialty fabrics, including pet-friendly or antimicrobial materials, are premium upgrades that raise the price but often last longer and age better over time. Many homeowners view these materials as a long-term value rather than an added expense.

3. Customization and Design Features

Sectionals offer a high level of customization, which contributes to their cost. Optional features include decorative wood finishes, contrasting welt trim, and built-in consoles or storage components.

These design details require additional craftsmanship and production steps. While not necessary for comfort, customization allows homeowners to create a sectional that fits their décor and functional needs, which is why many customers choose to upgrade beyond a base model.

Custom handles for manual recliners or tailored hand wands for power recliners can also be modified, ensuring that your recliner is as functional as it is stylish. "These additional features, while convenient and visually appealing, contribute to the overall price of your recliner," Sandra says.

4. Stationary vs. Reclining Sectionals

Whether a sectional is stationary or reclining makes a significant difference in price.

Stationary sectionals are typically the most budget-friendly option. Reclining sectionals cost more because they include mechanical or power components that allow seats to recline independently.

Power reclining sectionals represent the highest price tier. They often include motorized controls, adjustable headrests, and built-in USB ports. These features add convenience and accessibility, but they also increase manufacturing complexity and overall cost.

5. Warranty and Protection Plans

Most quality sectionals include a warranty that covers structural components such as the frame. At La-Z-Boy, sectionals come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the frame and mechanical parts.

Optional protection plans extend coverage to accidental damage and everyday wear for up to five years. While these plans add to the upfront cost, they can help reduce future repair or replacement expenses, especially in high-traffic living spaces.

6. Delivery and Assembly

Delivery and setup are additional costs to consider when purchasing a sectional. Due to their size and modular nature, sectionals require professional handling.

In Ottawa, Gatineau, and Kingston, white-glove delivery services start at $129.99. This service includes in-home placement, assembly, and setup. Additional fees may apply for long-distance delivery or furniture removal. Many customers choose professional delivery for convenience and peace of mind.
