Guides
ERYE guides for choosing living-room seating
Measure a stairway for a sectional, match a shape to your room, see how a sleeper opens before it arrives, and learn where a power recliner and a lift chair part ways.
How to size a sectional to your living room
Measure the wall, the open side and the walkway first, then read overall width, depth and seat depth against your own room.
How to measure your doors, halls and stairs before a sectional arrives
Door width and diagonal, hallway turns, handrails, headroom and elevator cabs, all measured against the largest box on its way in.
L-shaped, U-shaped, modular or curved: which sectional shape suits your room
Which room each sectional shape suits, how left-facing and right-facing chaises are named, and what happens to each shape in a new home.
Sleeper sectionals and storage chaises: how they work and what to measure
How a pull-out bed comes out, how far the open bed reaches into the room, what a storage chaise holds and when a futon suits you better.
Power recliner or lift chair: how the two work and how to choose
Recline positions, what a lift base does, what each motor moves, heat and massage, the floor a chair needs and care around children.
