Understanding Your Space
Before you purchase any loveseat, it is important to measure your space so that you can ensure your new furniture item will fit in your room. Here are some things to consider.
Evaluating Your Room
Before purchasing a loveseat, it's crucial to evaluate the room where it will be placed. Consider the dimensions and features of the room, including windows, doorways, and fireplaces, to ensure your new loveseat fits perfectly without obstructing any pathways or views.
For stationary loveseats, you might need to measure the length of a sleeper configuration, which can easily be forgotten. Take note of those measurements as well to prevent your space from feeling too tight.
Measure Your Room
Accurate measurements are essential to avoid any surprises. To help with this, bring detailed room dimensions and a sketch or photos to the store. This will help the salesperson find the best fit for your space. Additionally, measure the delivery route to ensure the loveseat can navigate through hallways and doorways.

Additional Considerations
- Harmonize with Wall Colors: Ensure your loveseat complements your wall colours for a unified look.
- Clear Pathways: Position the loveseat so it doesn't obstruct views or block access to doors and windows. A console upgrade requires more space than a regular loveseat.
- Blend with Existing Decor: Consider how the loveseat will fit with your current furniture and decor style.
- Protect Your Floors: Use felt pads to prevent scratches on hardwood floors and keep them in good condition.
A larger redesign might require a bit more expertise. If you're feeling overwhelmed with your at-home furnishing, an interior designer can help. La-Z-Boy offers complimentary interior design services to help you visualize and plan your space effectively. To learn more about our services, take a look at this step-by-step guide.
Choosing the Right Loveseat
When choosing the right loveseat sofa, you’ll want to consider certain things when selecting your new furniture piece.
Personal and Household Needs
Think about who will be using the loveseat. Will it be only two people or more? Is this going to be your primary seating or secondary? These questions can help you make your decision.
Consider the heights and body types of all potential users. If there is a significant height difference among users, you might need additional seating options. Also, factor in whether children or pets will use the loveseat, as this can influence your fabric choice.
Size and Style
Finding the right loveseat means taking into account your dimensions and style preferences. Sitting on a loveseat should feel comfortable, which means taking into account certain aspects such as seat depth, back height, and overall comfort.
For example, your head should rest at the same level as the head cushion, and your legs should be about 90 degrees when you touch the floor, with your feet planted on the ground. If this doesn’t match up, the recliner you’re sitting in may not be right for you.
Loveseat Sizes
La-Z-Boy offers loveseats in various sizes to fit different room sizes and personal preferences:
- Standard Loveseats: Ideal for small spaces or as additional seating in larger rooms.
- Reclining Loveseats: Perfect for medium-sized living rooms, providing comfortable seating for two.
- Loveseat with Consoles: About the same size as a sofa, yet still great for standard-size living rooms.
Each sofa size can also come with additional height recommendations:
- Petite: Users that are 5’4” and under
- Medium: Users that are 5’4” to 5’9”
- Large: Users that are 5’10” to 6’2”
- Extra Tall: Users that are 6’2” and over
Each model is designed to provide optimal comfort for specific body sizes, ensuring that the sofa fits you just right. To get a better idea of what our Top-Selling La-Z-Boy Sofas are, read these articles on our top-selling stationary loveseats and top-selling reclining loveseats.
Style Preferences
Choose a style that matches your taste and complements your existing decor. La-Z-Boy offers four main categories of furniture styles:
- Classics Revisited: Elegant designs inspired by the past.
- Modern Retreat: Chic, streamlined silhouettes with geometric prints.
- Family Favourites: Functional designs for family use without sacrificing style.
- Comfortably Casual: Beautiful, lived-in spaces.
While each furniture style has its own personal touch, La-Z-Boy furniture is meant to blend into any decor you add it in. To learn more about our Furniture Styles at La-Z-Boy and for examples, take a look at this article.
Customizing Your Loveseat
Customizing your furniture, whether it be a loveseat or other furniture piece, is key to making it truly yours. Before we see what kind of customizable options there are for La-Z-Boy, there are many types of loveseat sofas to choose from.
Types of Loveseats

Selecting the Ideal Furniture Upholstery
Now that we know what types of loveseats there are, let’s see what custom options you can make for a La-Z-Boy loveseat.
Fabric or Leather?
The choice between fabric and leather will depend on several factors including comfort, appearance, durability, maintenance, and cost. Leather offers a distinctive look and is easier to clean, while fabric provides a broader range of colours and patterns.
At La-Z-Boy, we offer over 800 different kinds of upholstery options, with a fabric and leather grading system that affects pricing depending on which cover grade you choose. To learn more about our Fabric Upholstery or our Leather Selections, take a look at these articles.

- Pet-Friendly Fabrics: Designed to withstand scratches and wear from pets, making them durable and easy to clean.
- Energy Restoration: Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
Cushion Upgrade
For added comfort, you can opt for firmer cushions that mold to your unique shape, making them especially beneficial for individuals with mobility issues.
Pillow Options (Stationary Frames)
Stationary sofas often come with pillows that can be customized. You can accessorize these pillows by adding an accent colour, contrasting welt, cording, or fringe. For a different feel, you can also request feather padding instead of the standard foam.
Sleep Sofa Upgrade
Transform your stationary sofa into a sleeper sofa, available in Twin Sleep Chair, Full Sleep Sofa, or Queen Sleep Sofa options. This allows you to easily convert your living room into a guest room.
The full and queen sleepers come with a 5.5” thick quilted innerspring mattress, ensuring supreme comfort for overnight guests. You can further upgrade the sleeper mattress to a Slumber Air model, an inflatable air mattress for extra adjustability, or choose a firmer mattress for a more solid sleeping surface, similar to the firm cushion upgrade.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support
Upgrade your La-Z-Boy reclining sofa with power features for effortless reclining using a control panel or wireless remote. You can adjust the headrest from 0-55 degrees and control the lower lumbar support to match the natural curvature of your spine. Enjoy added convenience with built-in USB ports and memory settings for your favourite positions. All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack.

Factors Influencing Cost
The price of loveseats and other furniture items varies based on quality, customization, and additional features. Higher-end loveseats often come with advanced features and better-quality materials, which justify the higher price tags.
