A full set counts 10 pieces as a single, 14 as an L and 19 as a U, with seats 4 in (10 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) thick. ## Questions buyers ask ### Do the Lale backrests need a wall behind them? Lale backrests are loose cushions that rest against the wall behind them, which is why each run is planned along a wall. Where one side has to face into the room, ask for metal back supports, which we add on request. ### Which Lale thicknesses are kept ready, and which are sewn to order? 4 in (10 cm) and 8 in (20 cm) are the everyday ready-made thicknesses, while 12 in (30 cm) and 16 in (40 cm) are usually sewn to order. Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing. ## How many seats, backrests and armrests does each Lale layout use? | Layout | Seat cushions | Backrests | Corner backrests | Armrests | Full set | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Single | 1 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 10 pieces | | L-shaped | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 14 pieces | | U-shaped | 3 | 6 | 2 | 3 | 19 pieces | Seats measure 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm), backrests 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) (a little shorter on a single), corner backrests 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) and armrest bolsters 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm). Each full set then adds a foam ottoman of 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm) and three pouf pillows of 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm). It also brings a flat-woven matching rug. Our [diwan floor sofa collection](https://orientalsofa.com/diwan-sofa/) keeps the Lale beside its sister patterns, the everyday seat of many family rooms. ## Will a Lale set fit the room where your guests gather? A standard L covers about 75 × 102 in (190 × 260 cm) of floor and seats five or six people comfortably, while a U gives about 224 in (570 cm) of seating along walls of roughly 75 in (190 cm), 130 in (330 cm) and 75 in (190 cm), enough for eight or nine adults. At each corner one run tucks in behind the other, so the second wall gives up about 27.5 in (70 cm), the depth of a seat. I find the U is the layout families grow into, since the eldest guest can take the middle of the back wall and still see every face. ## Which Lale seat height suits long evenings with elders? | Seat | Built as | Who it suits | | --- | --- | --- | | 4 in (10 cm) | One layer | Prayer rooms, low sitting | | 8 in (20 cm) | Two 4 in (10 cm) layers or one solid block | Everyday family seating | | 12 in (30 cm) | One block, or 8 in (20 cm) with 4 in (10 cm) on top | A little more height | | 16 in (40 cm) | Two 8 in (20 cm) layers | Elders, close to sofa height | Stacked layers stay separate rather than sewn together, so a top cushion can come off and become a floor mattress when cousins stay the night. The foam is firm to medium-firm, and the [floor sofa thickness guide](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/floor-sofa-thickness-and-seat-height/) explains each step. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. > Ramadan nights are long, so the backrests had better be generous. ## What changes between the red, turquoise and stone gray Lale? Lale is the Turkish word for tulip, the flower Ottoman court designers spread across silks and tiles, and the Lale pattern follows it from palace gardens to the Tulip Era. Red with gold-toned tulips glows under evening lamps, turquoise recalls blue-green tilework, and Stone Gray, cream with a charcoal lattice, keeps the motif calm in a pale room. The weave is made for indoor rooms; terraces call for our separate water-repellent outdoor fabric, which comes mostly in plain colors. Torn between two? Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order. ## Which words will you meet when ordering a Lale diwan? - Diwan: low seating that lines a family or guest room in many Arab homes. - Lale: Turkish for tulip, the motif on every Lale cover. - Ogee: the pointed, double-curved frame around each tulip. - Pouf pillow: a loose 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm) floor cushion for the guest who arrives last. The [majlis layout planner](https://orientalsofa.com/tools/majlis-planner/) turns your wall lengths into a first seat-by-seat sketch. Ready-made sets are packed soon after payment — ask us for the current dispatch time. Covers come fitted over the foam. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where do the 19 pieces of a U-shaped Lale set come from? A U uses three seat cushions, six backrests, two corner backrests and three armrests, making 14 seating pieces. The full set then adds an ottoman, three pouf pillows and a rug, bringing the count to 19. ### Can the Lale diwan be cut to a wall that is not a standard length? Some patterned designs are made only in standard 75 in (190 cm) seats with fixed backrest shapes. Send your wall lengths, and the team confirms whether Lale can be cut to them or planned in standard pieces. ### Can Lale covers go in the washing machine? Covers unzip and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent. Skip the dryer and other heat, which can shrink them. ## Related pages - [Ciragan Quilted Diwan](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/ciragan-quilted-diwan-floor-sofa/) - [What Comes in a Majlis or Floor Sofa Set, Piece by Piece](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/whats-in-a-majlis-set/) - [Anatolian Kilim L-Shaped Set](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/anatolian-kilim-l-shaped-floor-sofa-set/)
