Signature Design by Ashley Accrington Sofa: Features, Sizes & Buying Guide

The Accrington is a budget-friendly, contemporary sofa from Signature Design by Ashley with plush padded arms, loose seat cushions, and gray or brown microfiber upholstery. The standard sofa measures 94 inches wide, 41 inches deep, and 39 inches high. It also comes as a two-piece sectional with a corner chaise.

It suits casual family rooms, basements, and starter apartments better than formal living rooms. Check availability before you fall for it, though. Several retailers list the Accrington as discontinued, so in many cases you’ll find it only through leftover stock, third-party sellers, or the secondhand market.

Quick facts

The sofa figures come from Ashley’s own product page. The loveseat and sectional measurements come from retailer listings and vary slightly from one seller to the next, so confirm them with whoever you buy from.

What the Accrington is like

Ashley describes the look as tufted box cushioning with thick, pillow-top armrests. In practice, that means a soft, slightly slouchy, casual sofa rather than a tailored one. The back cushions are attached, which keeps the back looking neat without fluffing, while the seat cushions are loose and removable.

Construction. Retailer listings describe a corner-blocked frame (a standard reinforcement where wood blocks strengthen the corners) and seat and back spring rails cut from 7/8-inch hardwood. The cushions use high-resiliency foam wrapped in poly fiber. Listings also mention CAL 117 fire-retardant foam, which is a standard California flammability requirement for upholstery foam.

Fabric. The upholstery is microfiber, a tightly woven polyester that people generally pick for its soft feel and easy upkeep. It tends to hide minor spills better than loosely woven fabrics, but it can attract lint and pet hair, and some microfibers show water rings if you clean them with the wrong product.

Seat depth. A 22-inch seat depth is moderate. People who like to sit back with their feet up, or who are taller, may find it less relaxed than a deep-seat sofa. A sofa this size works best for upright sitting and for sharing. If you want a lounging sofa, sit on one in a showroom first.

Is it still available?

This is the first thing to check. Retailer listings for the Granite sofa, item number 7050938, flag it as discontinued by the manufacturer. Ashley’s own website still carries a product page with specifications, but a page that stays online does not prove the sofa is in stock.

If you want a new Accrington, your realistic options are:

• Leftover or clearance stock. Some independent furniture retailers and marketplaces still list new pieces. Prices in retailer and marketplace listings vary widely, from clearance-level prices at one retailer in 2024 to roughly $1,200 or more from online marketplace sellers. Because the model is discontinued, there’s no reliable current manufacturer price, so compare several sellers.
• Third-party sellers on large online marketplaces. Some of these listings come from resellers rather than Ashley, and a few are branded under a reseller name. Ask who handles warranty claims, returns, and damage before you order. A sofa that arrives torn is a bigger headache if the seller doesn’t stock replacements.
• The secondhand market. Local resale sites and consignment stores sometimes carry used Accrington pieces. Inspect before you buy (see below).

If you don’t find one, look for a current Ashley sofa with similar dimensions and fabric rather than paying a premium for an old model.

Sofa or sectional?

The sofa

The sofa is the simpler choice. It seats three comfortably, fits in most living rooms, and costs less. It makes sense if your room is under about 14 feet in its longest dimension or if you plan to add a chair or loveseat.

The sectional

The sectional adds a corner chaise, which gives you a lounging spot but takes up much more space. The chaise piece runs about 85 inches deep, which is close to 7 feet, and the whole unit runs more than 10 feet wide. Measure the entire footprint, then add walking room. Interior designers often suggest leaving roughly 30 to 36 inches for main walkways, though that’s a rule of thumb rather than a code. The sectional comes in two pieces, which helps with delivery up narrow staircases.

The loveseat

The loveseat at 72 inches suits small apartments, bedrooms, and sitting areas where a full sofa would overwhelm the room.

Accrington sectional: LAF vs. RAF, sizes and colors

Most Accrington sectional listings are two-piece sets: a sofa piece and a corner chaise. “LAF” means left-arm-facing and “RAF” means right-arm-facing, judged as you face the piece from the front. Listings show both setups, so confirm which side the chaise is on before you pay. A chaise on the wrong side is hard to fix once it’s delivered.

• Left-facing sofa with a right-facing chaise: this is how one furniture retailer describes both its Earth and Granite sectionals.
• Right-facing sofa with a left-facing chaise: a resale listing for a dark gray set shows this reverse layout.
• Sofa piece: about 85″ W x 41″ D x 39″ H, according to a major retailer’s listing.
• Corner chaise: about 39″ W x 85″ D x 39″ H, according to the same listing.
• Colors: Earth (brown) and Granite (gray) appear in retailer listings.

Sketch your room with the chaise on each side and see which one keeps walkways clear and leaves room for a door to open. Then buy the matching configuration.

Who should and shouldn’t buy it

It’s a good fit if you:

• Want a comfortable, soft sofa for a family room, basement, or media room
• Have a modest budget and don’t need a premium frame or fabric
• Prefer neutral colors that blend with different decor
• Plan to replace the sofa in a few years rather than keep it for decades

Think twice if you:

• Want a deep, lounge-style seat
• Need a sofa with a long, clearly stated warranty and easy parts or cushion replacement, since the discontinued status makes replacement cushions harder to find
• Have a very small room, where the 41-inch depth and bulky arms take up space
• Need an upholstery that stands up to heavy, daily use by large dogs or young children without any wear, because we couldn’t find independent durability testing for this model

How to check the fit before you buy

1. Measure the sofa’s footprint, not just its width. Mark 94 by 41 inches on the floor with painter’s tape and leave it for a day.
2. Measure the path. Ashley lists a 32-inch minimum doorway width for delivery. Measure doorways, hallways, stair turns, and ceiling clearance on the way in. Apartments and older row houses in the Northeast, where staircases are narrow, are especially tight.
3. Check where the sofa sits relative to windows and vents. Direct sun fades microfiber over time, a real concern in sunny parts of the Southwest and South. Leave space away from heating and cooling vents too.
4. Confirm the cleaning code. Listings disagree, with some saying water-based cleaners and others saying solvent-based. The tag under a cushion, which will show W, S, WS, or X, is the authoritative answer. Use only what the tag says.

Inspecting a used or open-box Accrington

Since new stock is limited, secondhand buying is common. Check these things in person:

• Sit on every seat. Sagging, a hollow feeling, or cushions that don’t bounce back mean the foam is worn.
• Lift the cushions and look for stains, tears, or loose spring rails.
• Press on the frame and listen for creaking or wobbling.
• Smell it. Smoke and pet odors are hard to remove from microfiber.
• Check the legs. They’re screwed in, so make sure none are loose or cracked.
• Ask about the tag. If the care label is missing, treat cleaning as a risk.

Common mistakes

Buying based on a color photo. Granite appears blue-gray in some photos and brown-gray in others. Request a fabric swatch if the seller offers one.

Assuming all listings are the same product. The Accrington sofa, loveseat, and sectional have different dimensions. Verify which piece you’re buying.

Trusting an old price. With a discontinued model, a “sale price” doesn’t tell you much. Compare current prices.

Ignoring return terms. Sofas are bulky. Find out whether you pay return shipping and whether the seller charges a restocking fee before you buy.
