LoveSac promises to deliver cloud-like comfort for modern families while enabling them to enjoy at least 11 configurations to suit their homes’ existing layouts.

Homeowners too tired of the usual sofa design and functionality can look to LoveSac Sactionals for a more exciting take on instantaneous living room redesign matching a changing lifestyle.

LoveSac Seat Size

• The Sactional Seat: This LoveSac component cradles a user’s buttocks, offering maximum comfort without sagging or dipping to the bottom. The company offers two versions, depending on the seat’s location in a configuration.

Original Side: LoveSac Sactionals forming a sofa’s sides (where one places the arm) span 35 inches or 88.9 centimeters from side to side, accounting for a 6-inch-wide (15.24-centimeter) left or right arm section. 

From the Sactional’s front edge to the back, users can access 35 inches (88.9 centimeters) of precious and comfortable butt-hugging space. The seat measures 18 inches (45.72 centimeters) from the floor’s surface to the topmost section. Families can add legs to the Sactionals to increase its height if they choose.

2. Deep Side: This Sactional has identical depth and height to the Original Side. However, it only spans 29 inches (73.7 centimeters) side to side because it functions as the “middle” section of a three-part LoveSac sofa.

It is worth mentioning that LoveSac Sactional’s modular design allows users to position them in any manner. Hence, the seat’s width (29 inches or 73.7 centimeters) can become its depth (front-to-back orientation). Likewise, the standard 35-inch depth can become the sofa’s backbone, forming a “longer” couch.

• Sactional Armrest: Resting one’s arms is crucial for maximum relaxation in the living room, allowing users to spend countless hours of bingeing on Netflix movies. Thankfully, LoveSac offers three sofa arm style sizes for its Sactionals. It is worth noting that Sactional armrests, regardless of type, are 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) thick. This dimension is sufficient to cradle any size human arm.

1. Standard: The standard Sactional armrest rises 28.5 inches or 72.39 centimeters from the floor surface, giving users a 10.5-inch or 26.7-centimeter vertical space between the Sactional’s seat surface and the arm’s topmost section. It is perfect for cradling the elbow in a bent position.

2. Rolled: This LoveSac armrest is “shorter” than the standard Sactional armrest by 2.8 inches or 7.1 centimeters at 25.7 inches or 65.3 centimeters. It is the ideal solution for individuals with “longer-than-usual” arms, allowing them to rest their elbows and forearms on the slightly “lower” armrest. Moreover, the rolled Sactional armrest gives this LoveSac a more traditional sofa look.

3. Deep: A deep LoveSac Sactional armrest has identical dimensions as a standard version, except it only spans 29 inches or 73.7 centimeters.

One must note that LoveSac Sactional armrests also function as backrests. Hence, their dimensions are identical and often span the Sactional’s width (35 inches or 88.9 centimeters for a “standard” and 29 inches or 73.7 centimeters for a “deep”). However, the rolled Sactional armrest does not have the characteristic “rolled” appearance as a backrest, although it is similar in height.

How Many Can Fit In A Room?

One can consider LoveSac’s Sactional seats modern furniture with LEGO-like qualities. Each sofa has a boxy rectangular shape, empowering homeowners and their loved ones to rearrange the comfy lounges to fit a given room size. For example, homes with tight living rooms can opt for four LoveSac Sactionals, with two seats sitting side by side to form a “standard” sofa, a separate Sactional as a single lounger, and a fourth LoveSac as the “center table.” 

Larger living room dimensions can accommodate as many as 8 LoveSac Sactionals, although some families might consider adding more. The configuration is limitless, from a traditional L-shape to an unusual bed-like form. Although LoveSac Sactionals have LEGO-like qualities (except they do not stack and snap on each other), components vary in sizes.

How Tall Is a LoveSac Sectional Seat?

 

A LoveSac Sactional has a seat surface towering 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) above the floor surface, while the armrests (and backrest) measure 28.5 inches or 72.39 centimeters tall. 

Although these dimensions are still within the range of comfortable loungers, most sofa styles, and couches at 26 to 32 inches or 66 to 81.3 centimeters, it is worth noting these “measurements” place their point of origin at the sofa’s seat surface. 

In that case, the Sactional would be “lower” than conventional couches. The good news is LoveSac offers large pillows to cushion and support the back by increasing the section’s height. 

What is the Difference Between Seat and Deep Seat LoveSac?

 

Aspiring owners of LoveSac Sactionals find the terms “seat” and “deep seat” confusing. Some say the terminology underscores LoveSac’s modular design philosophy, while others refer to the system’s multiple configurations. 

The latter “explanation” suggests a LoveSac Sactional “seat” as comprising a single section, while a “deep seat” requires two Sactionals with one in front of the other.

Looking at LoveSac’s Sactional description, a “deep seat” only has a 29-inch (73.7-centimeter) sideward span. Meanwhile, the “seat” is 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) wider because of the extra armrest attachment on either side. If one removes the armrest, the Sactional “deep seat” will have identical dimensions as the “standard” LoveSac sectional seat. 

How Long Does a LoveSac Couch Last?

LoveSac introduced the revolutionary uber-comfortable and highly modular Sactional couch in 2006, making the first units already on their 17th year. Surprisingly, many homeowners who were quick to spot the trend still have their Sactionals providing optimum layout versatility and comfort.

Sactionals can last at least a decade, even when subjected to abuse (i.e., pet “accidents” and rambunctious kids). Fifteen years would be pushing it. However, a Sactional sofa can reach two decades if homeowners exercise judicious and meticulous care. Surprisingly, LoveSac only offers a lifetime warranty on the Sactional’s “hard inserts,” while “soft inserts” only get 3 years.
