Buying a Sectional Online: Chaise Side, Ottoman Add-Ons, Seat Depth and Budget

A plain buying guide to our modular sectionals: how the chaise works, which collections add ottomans, how deep each seat is and how to build one in stages on a budget.

A Cozey modular sectional with a chaise

Short answer: At Cozey, we build modular sectionals with a left- or right-facing chaise, and Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere also take ottoman add-ons. The cost is the sum of the modules you choose, and the configurator shows the total. Atmosphere has our deepest seat.

A sectional is hard to judge from a photo. The chaise side, the seat depth and the add-ons decide how it fits and feels, and each one changes the price. For the basics, start with sofa vs sectional.

Where can I buy a sectional with a left- or right-facing chaise?

At Cozey, you can order a Ciello, Gaia or Atmosphere sectional with the chaise on the left, on the right or on both ends, and you pick the side in the online configurator. Cassini has no chaise: it curves with 45-degree wedge modules instead.

The chaise is a long seat module at one end where you can stretch out. Ciello's is 54.5 inches (139 cm) deep, and Gaia's is 55.1 inches (140 cm) in Regular and 59 inches (150 cm) in XL. Atmosphere offers a chaise in its Regular and Storage styles. The Ciello guide and Gaia guide list every module size.

A chaise adds depth in front of the sofa, not width along the wall: our Ciello two-seater with a chaise measures 74.75 x 68.5 inches (190 x 174 cm), as our guide to chaises under 80 inches explains.

Where can I buy a sofa with a reversible chaise that fits any room layout?

At Cozey, the chaise is a separate module, so the side is not locked in when you order. A reversible chaise is a chaise module that can be attached to either the left or right side of the sectional. This allows you to change the orientation of the chaise if you move or rearrange your room, rather than being locked into the position you chose at purchase.

Check the arms too. Corner layouts can be reversed by rearranging the pieces, although arms are handed in some collections. If you may flip the layout later, confirm the arm modules in the configurator. Our modular sofa guide explains how modules connect.

Who sells sectionals with ottoman add-ons?

At Cozey, three collections take ottomans as add-ons: Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere. Our Neptune and Orian sofa beds also have ottoman options, covered in our Neptune guide and Orian guide. Cassini has no ottoman.

Who sells sectionals with ottoman add-ons?

CassiniNone (wedge modules)None26.4 inches (67 cm)

An ottoman works as a footrest, an extra seat or a chaise-like extension, and our storage ottoman guide compares them. The Atmosphere guide and Cassini guide cover the rest.

Where can I find a deep-seat sofa on a budget?

At Cozey, a deep seat does not require a large first order, because a sectional is built from modules and the cost is the sum of the modules you choose. Gaia has a deep, soft seat: 24.2 inches (61.5 cm) in Regular and 25.6 inches (65 cm) in XL.

If depth is the priority, the order is Atmosphere (27.3 to 29.3 inches (70 to 75 cm)), then Ciello XL and Cassini (both 26.4 inches (67 cm)), then Gaia XL. Compare the feel in our Ciello vs Gaia guide and our seat depth and height guide. Our guide to sofas on a budget covers spending in more detail.

Where can I buy a modular sectional on a budget?

At Cozey, you can buy a modular sectional online and build it in stages, because the cost is the sum of the modules you choose. Start with the layout you need and add a chaise or an ottoman later. Each added module changes the total, and so do fabric, arms and size. The configurator on each collection page shows the total before you order.

Where can I buy a modular sectional on a budget?

CollectionModules you can add later
CielloMore seats, a corner, a left, right or double chaise, a storage ottoman
GaiaMore seats, a corner, a left, right or double chaise, a storage ottoman
AtmosphereMore seats, a corner, a left, right or double chaise, an ottoman, a long ottoman
CassiniMore seats, corner or wedge modules (no chaise or ottoman)

Build in stages within one collection. Ciello and Gaia Regular and XL modules cannot be mixed, so choose the size first.

What should I check before I buy a sectional online?

Check the room, the chaise side, the seat depth and the compatibility of the modules before you order. Work through this list:

  • Both legs of the layout: measure each wall that the L will follow, then keep about 30 inches (76 cm) for walking (general advice). Our sectional size guide shows the steps.
  • Chaise side: sketch the room and check that the chaise does not block a door, vent or walkway.
  • Seat depth: a deep seat suits lounging and a shallower one suits sitting upright.
  • Module mix: Ciello and Gaia Regular and XL modules cannot be mixed, and neither can Atmosphere regular, storage and sleeper modules.
  • Access: modules arrive in separate boxes, and our guide to measuring stairs and doorways shows how to check the route.
  • Covers: replacement covers are available for Ciello, Gaia, Atmosphere and Cassini.

Every order has a 30-day risk-free trial, explained in our delivery and returns checklist. For module counts, see how many modules you need.

Our recommendation

Cozey Gaia is our pick if you want a deep, soft seat and plan to build in stages, Cozey Ciello if you want a chaise and a soft, deep seat, and Cozey Atmosphere if you want the deepest seat or hidden storage. Choose Cassini for a curved layout with no chaise.

Pick the chaise side from your room sketch, and add an ottoman once you know how you use the sofa.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Cozey, a reversible chaise is a chaise module that can be attached to either the left or right side of the sectional. This allows you to change the orientation of the chaise if you move or rearrange your room, rather than being locked into the position you chose at purchase. Our Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere sectionals offer a left, right or double chaise in the configurator. Check the arm modules as well, because arms are handed in some collections.


You can buy one directly from Cozey, online at cozey.ca. Our Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere collections let you choose a left chaise, a right chaise or a double chaise in the configurator, and the modules arrive in separate boxes. Ciello's chaise is 54.5 inches (139 cm) deep, and Gaia's is 55.1 inches (140 cm) in Regular or 59 inches (150 cm) in XL. Cassini has no chaise and uses wedge modules to curve instead.


Cozey sells them. Our Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere collections all take ottoman add-ons, and Neptune and Orian sofa beds have ottoman options too. The Ciello storage ottoman holds 75 litres, the Gaia storage ottoman is 31.5 inches (80 cm) square, and the Atmosphere ottoman is 29.5 inches (75 cm) square with 79.4 litres of storage in the storage version. Each works as a footrest or an extra seat. Cassini has no ottoman.


At Cozey, a deep seat does not need a large first order, because a sectional is built from modules and the cost is the sum of the modules you choose. Gaia has a deep, soft seat of 24.2 inches (61.5 cm) in Regular and 25.6 inches (65 cm) in XL, and Atmosphere is deepest at 27.3 inches (70 cm) with a square back. Ciello XL and Cassini are both 26.4 inches (67 cm). Start with the seats you need, add a chaise or an ottoman later, and check the total in the configurator on the collection page before you order.


At Cozey, you can buy a modular sectional online and build it in stages, because the cost is the sum of the modules you choose. Start with the layout you need, such as a two-seater or a three-seater with a corner, and add a chaise or an ottoman later in Ciello, Gaia or Atmosphere. Chaise and ottoman modules change the total, and so do fabric, arms and size. The configurator on each collection page shows the total before you order, so you can compare layouts across all four collections and keep the one that fits your budget.


At Cozey, we suggest five checks. Measure both legs of the L and leave about 30 inches (76 cm) for walking, which is general advice. Sketch the chaise side against doors and vents. Compare seat depths, from 21.7 inches (55 cm) on Ciello Regular to 29.3 inches (75 cm) on the Atmosphere round back. Remember that Regular and XL modules cannot be mixed in Ciello or Gaia. Finally, measure the stairs and doorways, because modules arrive in separate boxes. Every order also has a 30-day risk-free trial.


Yes, in many cases. At Cozey, our modular sectionals are designed so that you can add, remove and rearrange modules within the same collection, including a chaise or an ottoman on Ciello, Gaia and Atmosphere. Some limits apply: Ciello and Gaia Regular and XL modules cannot be mixed, and Atmosphere regular, storage and sleeper modules cannot be combined. Check compatibility on the product page or with our team before you order extra modules, and confirm the price of the added piece in the configurator.
