A longchair (also written long chair or chaise longue in French) is an extended seating section attached to a sofa that allows you to stretch your legs fully. Think of it as an integrated footrest that's part of the sofa frame — not a separate ottoman.
Longchair vs chaise longue: is there a difference?
Technically, a chaise longue is a French-origin chair designed for a single reclining person. A longchair in the sofa context is typically a corner extension of a modular sofa — wider, more integrated, and usable by any seated person on the corner section. In practice, the terms are used interchangeably in the furniture industry.
Left or right longchair: which should you choose?
Stand at your front door and look into the room. The longchair goes on whichever side feels most open and comfortable — usually opposite to your TV or main focal wall. Convention: "right-hand longchair" means the chaise is on your right when you're seated and facing into the room.
Tip: take a photo of your room from the doorway and mark where you'd want to stretch your legs. This makes the left/right decision obvious.
Standard longchair dimensions
A typical modular longchair section adds 90–110 cm of depth. Full longchair sofa widths range from 240 cm (compact 2+longchair) to 340+ cm (3-seat U-formation with longchair). Seat depth on the longchair section is typically 145–165 cm — enough to lie flat.

Which fabric for a longchair sofa?
The longchair section takes more wear than any other part of the sofa — it's where people stretch out, nap, and put their feet. Choose Sorriso or Melody weave fabrics for maximum durability (50,000+ Martindale), or bouclé Find Me for a design-forward look that hides wear texture naturally. Order free samples.
