M: I'm trying to plan out a new room, a bedroom. I'm trying to find something that is like a couch. I think we've done this before, but I want to try it fresh. What I'm looking for is something that is approximately, in terms of a standard couch size or butt size or how you think of it, two-thirds of that couch. So, two seats, one arm, and a full back. Give me a sketch of what you think I'm talking about. Make it as quick as possible. I'm not looking for details on this.
G: Here’s a fast, rough sketch of what you described — two-seat couch, one arm, full back. No detail, just shape and proportions.

Mentally:
This is essentially a one-armed loveseat / asymmetric sofa, closer to lounge seating than a bed substitute.
M: Huh, I don't think I was quite 100% aware that they'd physically separated the sketching functionality from the code, or sorry, not from the code, from the chat part of the AI. I'll try and make a note of that. What you gave me works, I'm not complaining. Yeah, something like that. Can you help me try and find one? Or a few possibilities in terms of what I'm talking about.
G: TL;DR: You’re looking for what the furniture world usually calls a one-arm loveseat, chaise loveseat, or apartment sofa with a single arm. Below are a few real categories + concrete examples that match the mental sketch.
This is the cleanest match to your sketch.

Why this works
You buy one piece, not the whole sectional.

I’m flagging it only to say:
visually similar, structurally worse, especially for

You weren’t imagining a weird object — you were just mentally isolating a sectional end piece and treating it like standalone furniture, which is exactly how manufacturers already think about it.
M: I think the left arm loveseat is what I'm looking for. My issue with what I've seen so far is that I want something with sufficient back to be comfortable when I'm sitting up. This is for my bedroom, and I'm looking for somewhere that I can either sit down or comfortably, you know, not lie down, but slouch down would be a better way. That's the reason why I was looking for the two-seat situation, because in the right configuration that would be just enough for me to sprawl in a kind of reclining situation without being so long as to make a choice between having it prop up my knee or require me to shift and be fully reclining. If I find something that's almost perfect but too long, I can always add some more pillows, but in that case the backing is important because it needs to be capable of being just as comfortable if I'm deciding to just sit straight up.
G: Here are loveseat options that fit your idea — a compact two-seat that’s comfortable for sitting upright or slouching/reclining, with enough back support to feel good for longer sits in a bedroom setting. Some are stationary (good back support) and some have reclining comfort if that’s more your style. citeturn0search0

These aren’t left-arm-only but are great for back support and slouching comfortably:
If you want only left-arm pieces or only recliners, I can narrow this list further!
M: Okay, first I didn't realize we were working with a stage-right, stage-left setup, looking for a right arm loveseat then. I hate little jargon bits that derail the entire situation. And then, after that, you seem to have... Well, not done it badly necessarily, but... You're expanding too much. This is a... This is not a situation where two arms is acceptable. I'm six damn feet tall. Adding a second arm is equivalent to saying I don't give a fuck what you want. Here's a suggestion that means absolutely nothing but just takes up space.
G: Got it. Resetting cleanly and narrow.
TL;DR:
You want a RIGHT-ARM loveseat (arm on the right when
you’re facing it), two seats, full/structured
back, no second arm, suitable for
upright sitting and controlled slouching for a
6-foot person, bedroom scale.

Ignore anything that fails any of these:
You are not shopping “loveseats.”
You are shopping SECTIONAL END UNITS sold
individually.

If it has two arms, it’s wrong.
If it has no arm, it’s wrong.
If the back is pillow-only, it’s probably wrong for upright use.
I’m not listing dozens. These are high-hit-rate:

Look for RAF loveseat modules — firmer backs, good upright
support.

Modular lines often sell RAF pieces separately; check back height
carefully.

Apartment-scale RAF loveseats exist; avoid “bench back” styles.

Lets you explicitly choose right arm + back style,
which matters here.
Two-arm loveseat:
As you said — functionally tells you to go fuck yourself if you’re tall.
It forces knee-up or full recline. We’re not entertaining it.
If you want, next step can be one of these only (no expansion unless you say so):
Stopping here.
M: Getting closer. Seat depth is right. Back actually would be better to have detachable pillows. I think I ruled either way on that, so we'll pin that down now. Back height seems about right, although I'd stick with the higher stuff if possible. And the width is correct. If possible, I would want to get the arm to be the same height as the back, almost like a corner booth, in terms of capacity. That would allow for occasions where I want to simultaneously extend my legs and sit up comfortably. Sorry for getting sharp. It was a conjunction of things. Aggravated by your tendency to try and be helpful to the point of... overextension.

G: You’re describing one specific build: a RIGHT-ARM loveseat module with a pillow back, deep-enough seat to slouch, and a “booth/corner” feel where the arm is nearly as high as the back.
The jargon you actually want (because it maps to shapes, not vibes):

That is specifically a tuxedo arm profile in furniture-speak, and it’s the best keyword to force that booth-like wall on the arm side. citeturn0search6
If you use tuxedo + RAF together, you’ll mostly avoid the low-arm modern stuff.
Banquette/booth seating (literal corner booth furniture) can nail the arm/back height vibe, but it usually sacrifices the “real lounging seat cushion + pillow back” comfort you’re after, unless you go custom. citeturn0search3
If you want this to stay tight: the fastest path is to start with Apt2B Logan RAF (specs are already explicit) and West Elm Shelter RAF loveseat (known seat depth), then compare both to Petrie RAF for the “upright and slouch” balance. citeturn0search5turn0search7turn0search6
