When it comes to the many different types of sofas out there, if you have the floor space for one, then getting a chaise sofa is always a smart move.
This relaxed, L-shaped couch design practically encourages you to kick back and take a little snooze, no ottoman necessary. Plus, the elongated chaise section also fits nicely into a corner without all of the bulkiness of a sectional sofa.
Your main consideration for choosing the best chaise sofa for you is to make sure you have the correct measurements of the couch and your space, and that you know which side of the couch the chaise, aka that longer perpendicular cushion, is on.
That said, sofas with reversible chaise sections are especially great because you're free to rearrange your space however you choose and move the chaise to the other side if desired — we've included a few of these types in this guide. However, some sofas will have a fixed chaise position, which lacks stylistic flexibility. This may not be an issue for you, but it's definitely a consideration if you're an apartment dweller who isn't planning to live in the same space forever.
Depending on the brand you choose, your chaise sofa may also be eligible for white-glove delivery. This is convenient for those who don't have the time nor the ability (or patience!) to assemble a sofa themselves. However, this may result in an added expense — we've denoted below what to expect if you choose this option. Others will be completely up to you (plus any helpful hands around your household) to put together, and we've only included options that reviewers attest to be straightforward assembly projects.

Casual Leather
Industrial Lodge Home Marquette Genuine Leather Sofa & Chaise
If you need a new couch but want a well-worn, super comfy feel, this is the one to invest in. This chaise sofa has an extremely laid-back profile, complete with arm cushions (!) and buttery-soft, genuine leather upholstery.
Assembly is required for this item, but many reviewers tout how simple it is to do in just minutes.
Roomy and luxe, this velvety chaise sofa can easily seat five people without feeling squished. The back cushions are firm, but the streamlined silhouette and slim, golden legs give it a refined sensibility.

Super Affordable
Wade Logan Harbuck Reversible Sofa & Chaise With Ottoman
Not only is this chaise sofa super affordable, but it's also reversible!
It's on the smaller side, and the fabric upholstery doesn't look quite as luxe as other brands, but its flexibility makes it a standout: You can detach the chaise to swap it to the opposite side, or use it as an ottoman separately with one of the smaller couch cushions.
Assembly is required, but reviewers say that it's an easy process.

Amazon's Favorite
Rivet Revolve Modern Upholstered Sofa With Reversible Sectional Chaise
Providing a classic, mid-century-inspired aesthetic with modern convenience, this chaise sofa will look at home pretty much anywhere. It has a reversible chaise that can be swapped to the opposite side or detached completely to become a matching ottoman.
Reviewers note that it's a medium-firm couch, so it may take some breaking in to get used to, but assembly is simple.
You definitely get the most for your money with this chaise sofa, because not only does it have a detachable chaise/ottoman, but it also has an entirely separate storage ottoman, too!
The heathered upholstery's quality may be on the more casual end of the spectrum, but users say that the couch holds up well, is plenty supportive, and offers tons of versatility for even the tiniest spaces. The storage ottoman is spacious and lets sitters on the short end of the couch put their feet up as well.
Assembly is required, but according to reviews, it takes just minutes with no tools needed.
Allform's flagship couch may come in just one main look, but there are tons of different sizes and configurations available, including this chaise loveseat. The depth of the chaise is nearly equal to the overall width, making it a compact shape.
This sofa-in-a-box has a neat, sleek style, and you can choose the color and material of your cushions, as well as the color of the sofa legs. The chaise section is also reversible.
In our own experience with this sofa, we've found that the provided instructions and tools made the assembly job easy. Right out of the box, the seat cushions are firm, but the back cushions are super comfortable and supportive at the same time.
For a custom-made piece, it doesn’t get much nicer than Maiden Home. The Ludlow is on another level: In addition to that luxe tufted look, it’s available in a wide range of colors and material options too, many of them performance-quality (i.e., washable and stainproof), and reviewers say that the cushion feel is “lofty and cozy,” not stiff.
This premium piece comes with white-glove delivery, and multiple users attest that the brand's customer service is fantastic. Maiden Home also prides itself on the quality of its pieces, all handmade in North Carolina by expert furniture craftspeople.
Burrow's sofas may be built with the ever-changing life situation in mind, but their products look like anything but starter furniture.
You can choose the material color and birchwood leg finish, along with whether to add on an additional matching ottoman. According to users, the feel is “firm but comfortable” — plus, each sofa model is equipped with a built-in USB outlet for added convenience.
Burrow’s sofa arrives flat-packed in sections and can be snapped together without tools. One reviewer even noted that assembly is “easier than IKEA.”
The trade-off with most custom-upholstered seats is that the chaise part has to stay fixed on one side ... not so with this chaise sofa from Apt2B! Thanks to its two oblong seat cushions that are exactly the same size, you can swap its orientation easily and effortlessly.
No matter which one of this sofa's many fabrics you choose, the result is beautiful. The upholstery is richly textured and pigmented, and the cushions are supportive but not rock-hard. This piece is handcrafted in Los Angeles, and the attention to detail shows.
Apt2B offers free shipping (yes!), which involves bringing the piece inside your home. Add on $99 for white-glove delivery, which will include placement in your room and disposal of all packaging materials.

Down-Filled Cushions
Pottery Barn Turner Square Arm Leather Sofa Chaise
The lived-in look of this chaise sofa from Pottery Barn has a cozy, old-fashioned style, and its leather upholstery adds a distinguished touch to any contemporary living space.
It's not cheap in any sense of the word, but you'll understand why it's worth the splurge once you have a seat. The aniline-dyed leather is soft and supple (and only gets better with time), and its foam cushions are wrapped with a down-feather blend, making them feel more like pillows.
Pottery Barn offers a flat-rate shipping fee, which includes delivery and assembly of this item in your home.
