Best sectionals for living rooms

Top pick: Better Homes & Gardens Weston 107.5" Cloud Modular Sectional — four pieces (two wedges, an armless chair, an ottoman) that rearrange into eight layouts, so it fits an L, a U or a straight run as your room changes. Solid wood frame, sinuous-spring seating, reversible cushions, 900 lb capacity, and a soft "cloud" sit that's easy to live with daily.

Who the others suit:

• 6-Seat Modular Double Chaise (chenille, U-shape): the best-rated of the bunch and the one for a big family room — deep, soft, with cup holders.
• 4-Seat Modular Chaise Sectional: if you want a chaise plus a sleeper and a huge weight rating, in velvet or corduroy.
• Albany Park Kova Pit: the splurge for a dedicated movie room — enormous, deep-seated, reviewed as the coziest of the lot.
• Solari Performance Fabric Sectional: a cleaner, more tailored look with a spill-friendly fabric.

Measure your wall first: these run from about 102" to 158" wide.
