What Is a Loveseat, Exactly?

Traditionally called a love seat or, in French Canada, a causeuse, a loveseat offers two seats in a smaller footprint than a standard sofa. It delivers the comfort of a loveseat sofa while keeping floor area free for tables, media units, and walkways.

Many shoppers choose a loveseat and couch combo for balanced seating, or place a loveseat in bedrooms to create a reading nook. They are also a popular choice for couples or people who live alone and want a more intimate and cozy seating option.

Knowing loveseat dimensions helps with planning. A standard loveseat is typically around 146 cm (57.5 inches) in width and 76 cm (30 inches) in depth.

FAQs About Loveseats

What is the difference between a loveseat and a sofa?

A loveseat is a small sofa that is designed to seat two people, while a sofa is a larger piece of furniture that is typically designed to seat three or more people. Loveseats are generally smaller in size and more compact than sofas, making them a good option for smaller living rooms or for use in a bedroom or den.

How much bigger is a loveseat compared to a couch?

The size difference between a loveseat and a couch can vary depending on the specific dimensions of the furniture pieces. However, loveseats are generally smaller in size than couches and are designed to seat two people, while couches are typically larger and can seat three or more people.

A standard loveseat is typically around 146 cm (57.5 inches) in width and 76 cm (30 inches) in depth, while a standard couch is usually around 213 cm (84 inches) in width and 91 cm (36 inches) in depth. The height of a loveseat and a couch can also vary, but both are typically around 91 cm (36 inches) in height.

How Do I Choose the Right Loveseat Size for My Room?

Measure the available wall length and leave at least 75–90 cm (30–36 inches) of walkway clearance. Tape the footprint on the floor to check traffic flow, side tables, and door swing. For small rooms, look at 52–60 inch widths; for larger layouts, 65–72 inch models work well.
