Binge-watching Netflix has never felt so good!

Finding a sectional that's chic and functional for the whole family can be a tough compromise. Of course, you want a piece stylish enough for guest compliments, but there's no doubt you also need seating that can handle everything from pets to kids jumping on it daily. It's important to find durable fabric that can withstand claws and can be cleaned easily, courtesy of those inevitable stains and spills. No matter what you're looking for—we've got you covered with a selection of the best sectional sofas to choose from, including high-end picks and budget buys. All that's left to do is grab some throw pillows and a blanket or two, queue up your Netflix account, and get to relaxing!

At the same time, this doesn't mean you're in the clear with maintenance. First things first, all indoor sectionals need to avoid direct sunlight otherwise the fabric will fade over time. Additionally, sectionals come with plenty of cushions and pillows to provide that cozy, sink-in feel, but all the accompanying pieces need to be flipped and fluffed daily so they can keep their shape. Finally, when a stain happens (because it always does), make sure you have the care instructions handy and take action right away. It may seem like a lot, but we promise all the following comfy sectionals are well worth it. Scroll and let your sectional shopping adventure begin.

The average sectional size is between 94 to 168 inches long (7.8 to 14 feet). When taking measurements, make sure you include the arms to ensure there's actually enough space for the sofa.

There are three types of sectional sofas: L-shape, U-shape, and chaise. An L-shape sectional can float in a room or go against a wall. A U-shape sectional is made for large-scale rooms, so do yourself a favor and triple-check these measurements. Finally, the sectional with a chaise is ideal for smaller spaces, and you can always add more modular pieces in case you increase your square footage.
