# Saray U-Shaped Floor Sofa Set with Medallions on Three Walls

Framed medallions repeat along all three runs of the Saray U-shaped floor sofa set, which seats a reception room on three 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) seat cushions with eight backrests and three armrest bolsters. Saray, the Turkish word for palace, takes its hooked medallion from Anatolian village rugs and comes in 11 colorways.

## Questions buyers ask

### What's the difference between your classic floor seating sets and a premium custom majlis?

A ready-size Saray U uses the listed cushion dimensions and package contents. A made-to-measure majlis follows your wall lengths and an approved component drawing. Compare the build, seat height and included pieces on the specification; the distinction is about the ordering format rather than a general claim of higher quality.

### Can I combine a regular sofa or a raised majlis with floor seating in the same room?

Mixed layouts work well: keep a regular sofa or a raised majlis on one side and a floor-seating corner or single-wall set on the other. Both zones can share the same fabric and colors.

## What does each Saray U package add to the 14 seating pieces?

| Piece | Size | Seating only | Full set |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Seat cushion | 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm), in your chosen thickness | 3 | 3 |
| Backrest | 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) | 6 | 6 |
| Corner backrest | 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) | 2 | 2 |
| Armrest bolster | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) | 3 | 3 |
| Matching rug | Ask us | Not included | 1 |
| Ottoman | 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm) | Not included | 1 |
| Floor pillow | 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm) | Not included | 3 |

Packages with the rug alone, or the rug and ottoman, count 15 and 16. Every backrest carries one framed medallion at its center, so side by side the medallions run in an even row around the room. Saray sits with the other woven patterns among our [floor sofa sets with kilim-style weaves](https://orientalsofa.com/traditional-sofa-models/).

## Which seat height suits guests in a formal reception room?

| Seat | Backrest top from the floor | Suits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4 in (10 cm) | About 19.5 in (50 cm) | Classic floor sitting and prayer |
| 8 in (20 cm) | About 23.5 in (60 cm) | Floor sitting with a little more lift |
| 12 in (30 cm) | About 27.5 in (70 cm) | Guests who need a little help getting up |
| 16 in (40 cm) | About 31.5 in (80 cm) | Sofa-height sitting for older guests |

For a room kept for visitors, I lean toward 12 in (30 cm), because it still looks low but nobody struggles to get up. Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing. The ottoman can be made taller to match them. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

## What changes when your walls are not 75 in (190 cm), 130 in (330 cm) and 75 in (190 cm)?

On longer or shorter walls the design team divides each run evenly, so every seat stays at 75 in (190 cm) or less and the medallion row keeps an even rhythm. Ask whether your colorway can be cut to custom lengths, because some patterned weaves are made only in standard 75 in (190 cm) modules. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.

Our [step-by-step room measuring guide](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/how-to-measure-for-a-majlis/) walks through doors, vents and corners.

## How big a rug suits the open floor inside the Saray U?

On the standard plan, the seats frame an open floor of roughly 75 × 47 in (190 × 120 cm): about 75 in (190 cm) between the side runs and 47 in (120 cm) from the back seat to the open end. Measure that space once the seating is in, then size the rug to it; rugs are also sold on their own, up to about 79 × 118 in (200 × 300 cm), and a large floor can take two. Three-wall room plans with sizes are on [U-shaped layouts with measurements](https://orientalsofa.com/majlis-layouts/u-shaped/).

> A family in Texas sent three wall lengths, 137 in (348 cm), 177 in (450 cm) and 137 in (348 cm), and asked for a custom Arabic floor majlis with seats 8 in (20 cm) thick. The plan listed five floor cushions, ten backrests, two corner backrests, five armrests, an ottoman, three pouf pillows and a rug. The first order description left the rug out, and the buyer asked for it to be corrected before paying, which it was. The set arrived safely and went into the family room. Later the family measured the open floor inside the seating and bought our largest standard rug, 79 in (200 cm) by 118 in (300 cm), plus three more ottomans, then sent photos and a video of the finished room.

## Which Saray colors are photographed, and which come from the color card?

Saray is woven in 11 colorways: Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Blue, Turquoise, Green, Gray, Taupe, Brown, Maroon, Red and Mustard Yellow. All but Taupe are photographed, and Taupe is chosen from the color card. Saray means palace in Turkish, after the Ottoman halls where low cushions ran around the walls for visitors, and the Saray pattern story traces the hooked medallion back to Anatolian village rugs.

Screens shift colors, so request a short video of the weave by daylight before you choose between Navy Blue and Royal Blue.

## Which three questions settle a Saray U order?

- Do your three walls match the standard plan, or should the runs be cut to length?
- Which seat height will your oldest regular guest find easiest?
- Does the room need the full set, or seating with the rug and ottoman only?

Send the answers along with corner photos of the room, and the design team replies with a piece list and a drawing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the Saray U be made in black?

The Saray weave is not made in true black. Navy Blue is the closest dark option among its 11 colorways, with Maroon and Brown as the other deep grounds.

### Is there anything to assemble when the Saray U arrives?

Nothing: the foam is already inside the covers, and on a custom U each piece is laid out at the workshop first and numbered, so you place them in order. Give the vacuum-packed seats about a day to recover before the first guests.

### Can the Saray U go on a covered terrace?

Terraces need a different cloth. The Saray weave is made for indoor rooms, and the atelier's outdoor range is water-repellent and comes mostly in plain colors, so the medallion pattern stays an indoor design.
