What are the dimensions of the L-shaped corner floor sofa?
Also asked as:Is it 98½ in (250 cm) wide or 300?How long is the couch from arm to arm?
One number on a listing is often a single cushion. The whole L is larger. Here are both, side by side.
SaveThe quick answer
The standard L-shaped corner floor sofa measures 118 in (300 cm) on the long side and about 79 in (200 cm) on the short side, wall to wall, and 14 in (35 cm) high. It is two 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) sofas joined at the corner. A listing figure around 76-79 in usually describes one base cushion, not the whole sofa.

One cushion is not the sofa
The most common mix-up is a small one. A listing says 76 or 79 in, and you picture the whole sofa. That figure is often one base cushion.
The corner L is two 39 x 79 in (100 x 200 cm) sofas joined at the corner. Wall to wall, that is 118 in (300 cm) on the long side and about 79 in (200 cm) on the short side. The seat sits 14 in (35 cm) off the floor.
Each seat cushion is 78 x 39 in, so the pieces can move later. All sizes can be customized. The modular floor sofa layouts Pattern shows arrangements, and the floor sofa buying guide covers space. The modular floor sofas atlas holds the rest.
Which wall in your room is the long one?
A cushion is a number. A sofa is several. Ask which one you are reading.
Check the L against your walls
Measure the long wall
Tape from the corner to where the sofa should end. The standard L needs 118 in (300 cm).
Measure the short wall
From the same corner. The L needs about 79 in (200 cm).
Check the depth
Each seat is 39 in (100 cm) deep. Leave a hand's width of floor where you walk.
Read the listing number twice
If it says 76-79 in, ask: one cushion, or the whole sofa?
Two 39 x 79 in floor sofas joined at the corner make an L of 118 in on the long wall and 79 in on the short.
