A U shape corner sofa has a chaise section on both ends, giving you seating that wraps around three sides rather than the single corner of a right-hand or left-hand facing sofa. It's a single connected unit, so there are no gaps between sections, and it works particularly well as the centrepiece of a larger living room.
This range is available in five colours — black, mink, grey, silver and coal — and in two fabrics, velvet or Alaska. You can also choose between a highback or standard back, and add a matching footstool if you'd like extra seating or somewhere to rest your feet.
Because it combines two chaise sections in one piece, a U shape corner sofa generally seats more people than a right-hand or left-hand facing corner sofa of a similar overall size, making it a practical choice for households that regularly host guests or simply want more room to spread out.
With five colours, two fabrics, two back heights and an optional footstool, it's worth thinking through each choice separately before you order.
Grey and silver are versatile, neutral choices that suit most colour schemes and hide everyday marks well. Black creates a strong, contemporary focal point, while mink and coal offer warmer, deeper neutral tones that pair well with wood furniture and softer lighting. Call 02476 705 600 for advice if you're unsure which suits your space.
A highback option gives you extra height along the back cushions, offering more support for your head and shoulders if you like to sit upright or use the sofa for reading and watching TV. A standard back option has a lower profile, giving a more classic silhouette that can suit rooms with lower ceilings or a more traditional look. Check the individual product page for exact measurements before ordering.
Velvet gives a soft, plush feel and a slightly more formal, elevated look, catching the light to add depth and texture to a room. Alaska fabric is offered as an alternative upholstery on the same range of colours and layouts, giving you a different look and feel while keeping the same choice of colour, back height and footstool option. If you're unsure which suits your room, call us on 02476 705 600 or visit our Coventry showroom to see and feel both in person.
Because a U shape corner sofa has a chaise section on both ends, it tends to comfortably seat more people than a single right-hand or left-hand facing corner sofa of a similar footprint. If you regularly host guests or have a larger household, this is usually the layout that offers the most flexible seating. For smaller households or rooms, it's worth comparing against a single-sided corner sofa before deciding.
A matching footstool is available alongside every U shape corner sofa in this range, in the same colour and fabric options. It's a simple way to add extra seating for guests, or somewhere to rest your feet when relaxing. If you decide you'd like one later, footstools can also be bought separately from our footstools range, or browse our corner sofas with a footstool collection for other ranges that offer the same option.
Because the footstool is designed to match the sofa, ordering it at the same time in the same colour and fabric is generally the simplest way to keep a consistent look across your living room, rather than trying to match separately at a later date.
For velvet, vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment to lift dust without flattening the pile, and blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing. Avoid saturating velvet with water or cleaning products — a specialist upholstery cleaner is a safer option for anything beyond light surface marks. Keep the sofa out of direct, prolonged sunlight to help the colour stay consistent over time.
For Alaska fabric, always check the manufacturer's care label attached to the sofa for the recommended cleaning method, as care instructions can vary between fabrics. As a general rule, vacuum regularly and deal with spills promptly on any upholstered sofa to keep it looking its best for longer, regardless of which colour or fabric you've chosen.
This depends on the fabric you choose. Velvet can show claw marks, snagging and pet hair more readily than some other upholsteries, so if pets are a major consideration, it's worth discussing the practical differences between velvet and Alaska fabric with our team on 02476 705 600 before you order. You may also want to browse our wider corner sofas range for other fabric options.
Whichever fabric you choose, keeping claws trimmed and vacuuming regularly will help the sofa stay looking its best for longer in a home with pets.
Both velvet and Alaska fabric are designed to hold up well to everyday use, though velvet needs slightly more regular care to keep its pile looking even over time. Every U shape corner sofa in this range comes with a frame warranty as standard, covering the structural build regardless of which fabric, colour or back height you choose.
The highback and standard back options are built to the same underlying frame standard, so your choice between the two comes down to look and support preference rather than any difference in overall durability.
Because a U shape corner sofa extends further into a room than a standard corner sofa, it tends to work best as a centrepiece with clear access around at least one side, rather than pushed tightly into a small corner. Always check the individual product page for the exact dimensions of your chosen sofa, including the footstool if you're adding one, and measure doorways and hallways on the route into the room before ordering.
It's also worth thinking about how the two chaise ends will be used — for example, facing a TV on one side and a window or fireplace on the other — so the layout works with the room's existing focal points rather than against them.
Most in-stock U shape corner sofas arrive within 7–10 working days, with free delivery to England and Wales. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa into your chosen room, access permitting, and assemble any sections or feet on-site so it's ready to use straight away. Packaging is removed on request, and old sofa removal is available if you'd like your existing sofa taken away.
If you've ordered a matching footstool alongside your sofa, this is typically delivered at the same time, though it's worth checking the individual product page in case stock levels mean it needs to be delivered separately.
A U shape corner sofa offers seating on three sides, making it a good fit for larger, more open rooms or households that want maximum seating in one piece. If you'd prefer a single corner rather than two, our velvet corner sofas range includes right-hand and left-hand facing layouts. For a bigger footprint again, or a different fabric altogether, browse our large corner sofas or wider corner sofas range.
If you're not sure which shape suits your room, measuring the available floor space first is the best starting point — a U shape needs clearance on both ends, while a right-hand or left-hand facing sofa only needs it on one.
We stock U shape corner sofas in black, mink, grey, silver and coal, in velvet or Alaska fabric, with a highback or standard back option and a matching footstool available — giving you a flexible combination to suit your room.
