A loveseat, sometimes written as love seat, is a small sofa that seats two people. It gives you the comfort of a full-size sofa in a more compact frame, which makes it a good fit for apartments, bedrooms, offices, and as a second seating piece in a larger living room.

The main difference is size and seating. A loveseat typically seats two people, while a sofa typically seats three or more and needs more wall space. Many collections include a matching sofa and loveseat, so you can pair them in a larger room. Browse our sofas to compare.

Measure the wall or corner where it will sit, then outline the loveseat's width and depth on the floor with painter's tape to see how it fills the space. Leave room to walk around it, and measure every doorway, hallway, and stairwell it needs to pass through. For a reclining loveseat, check the clearance listed on the product page so the back has room to move.

You can shop stationary loveseats, manual reclining loveseats, power loveseats, loveseats with hidden storage, loveseats with USB charging, and zero gravity loveseats. If you want a single-seat option, see our recliners. Use the filters on this page to narrow by width, color, and material.

It depends on your household. Performance fabric is designed to handle everyday wear and spills, and leather wipes clean and suits many styles. Velvet and chenille bring a softer look and feel, and microfiber is a common choice for easy upkeep. Check each product's details for fabric and care information.
