A large corner sofa is a spacious, sociable sofa designed to seat a crowd in comfort. Most of ours are a U-shape, with seating that wraps around three sides of a space, and many include a chaise for stretching out. They're ideal for bigger living rooms and open-plan spaces where you want plenty of seats and a real centrepiece. If your room is more compact, a smaller corner may suit better — but where you have the space, a large corner is hard to beat for family life and entertaining. To see the full choice of corner sofas across the store, our corner sofas collection is a good place to start.
A U-shape sofa has seating on three sides — think of it as a corner sofa with a return on both ends, forming a soft “U” around a coffee table or rug. It's the most sociable shape you can choose, letting everyone face each other, and it seats more people than an L-shaped corner of a similar footprint. Because it's a large piece, a U-shape needs a generous room to sit comfortably, with space to walk around it. To explore the wider choice of this shape across the store, our U-shape sofas collection is a good reference.
A chaise is a longer, extended seat section — like a built-in lounger — where you can stretch your legs out fully. Many of these large corners come with a chaise on one end, giving you a relaxed spot to put your feet up. The difference from a U-shape is simple: a U-shape wraps seating around three sides of a room, while a chaise is a single elongated section on one end of the sofa. Some large corners combine both. Which end the chaise sits on is a matter of left- or right-hand orientation, covered below. To compare shapes across the wider range, our corner sofas collection is a helpful reference.
All of our large corner sofas are upholstered in soft, woven fabric — warm, cosy and easy to live with, and a natural fit for a big, relaxed family sofa. We keep fabric clearly distinct from leather and from leather-look Leather Aire, so you always know what you're buying; fabric has its own comfortable, textured feel and is cared for by vacuuming and spot-cleaning rather than wiping. The exact fabric detail for each sofa is shown on its product page. To explore the wider fabric choice across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.
A large U-shape corner is made for bigger households and busy, sociable homes. It comfortably seats a large family plus guests, makes a natural centrepiece for an open-plan living space, and is perfect for film nights when everyone wants to spread out. It works best in a spacious room — you'll want to leave walkways clear and allow room to move around it — so it's worth measuring carefully before you commit. If you love the corner idea but have less space, a smaller corner may be the better fit. To see the wider choice of this shape, our U-shape sofas collection is a good place to look.
There's a colour for every scheme. Grey is the most popular and versatile, working with almost any decor; charcoal is a deeper, smart grey; black is a bold, forgiving classic that hides marks well; mink is a soft, warm greige — a gentle grey-brown that's cosy and easy to live with; silver is a cool, contemporary grey-toned shade; and cream is a soft, warm off-white that keeps a big room feeling light and open. It's worth being honest that cream, as a pale shade, shows everyday marks more readily than a darker colour, so it rewards a little more regular care. To compare grey tones across the store, our grey sofas page shows the wider choice.
Yes — the chaise and corner versions come in both left-hand and right-hand layouts, so you can match the sofa to your room. The layout refers to which side the chaise or the longer return sits on. It's worth knowing that left and right conventions can differ between retailers — some describe the orientation as you look at the sofa, others as you sit on it — so always check the product diagram and picture how it will sit in your room before ordering. A true, symmetrical U-shape may be the same on both sides, but where there's a chaise, orientation matters. To compare layouts across the wider corner range, our corner sofas collection is a helpful reference.
Measuring is essential for a large corner, and doubly so for a U-shape. Note the overall width along each wall, the depth of each section and the height, and mark the full shape out on the floor with tape so you can see how it sits and whether you can still move around it and open nearby doors. Check which way any chaise needs to face, and leave clear walkways rather than filling the room. And measure your access route carefully — doorways, hallways, stairwells and any tight turns — as a large corner is a big item, usually delivered in sections. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.
Fabric is straightforward to look after with a little regular attention. Vacuum it regularly with an upholstery tool to lift dust and crumbs, and plump the cushions to keep them comfortable and even — worth doing often on a big sofa that sees a lot of use. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and check the care label before using any cleaning product, testing it on a hidden area first, which matters more on a pale colour like cream. Keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading.
Yes. Every large corner sofa meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies to every piece and section.
Most in-stock large corner sofas are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a large corner is a big item — usually delivered in sections — it's especially worth measuring your doorways, hallways and turns in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.

We specialise in upholstered furniture, and our large corner sofas are a spacious, sociable choice for a bigger room — U-shapes with seating on three sides, many with a relaxing chaise. We describe things honestly: these corners are soft woven fabric (kept distinct from leather and leather-look Leather Aire), we explain the difference between a U-shape and a chaise plainly, and we're upfront that cream, as a pale shade, needs a little more care.

Every order comes with free delivery by our own two-person team and our 14-day change-of-mind returns, we hold a 4.8★ Excellent rating from over 4,800 genuine Trustpilot reviews, and you can spread the cost interest-free with Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal Pay in 3, or over a longer term with DivideBuy, all subject to credit check.
