They don't make them like they used to!IanWe've bought a number of Ektorp sofas and chairs over the years and have noticed obvious cost-cutting with each new purchase, including reduced/inferior-quality padding and poorer-quality fabric. Our most recent purchase has a cheap fabric on the under-side of the seat cushions, meaning they can no longer be flipped over. So disappointing! The Ektorp has a great style about it and the removable washable covers are great. We'd rather pay a little extra for a better quality product.4
Love this couch!KaraI bought the chaise, sofa bed and arm chair versions of this couch and they are all still in use 15 years later. They’ve lasted me interstate moves, I updated the look over time with new covers. I have now moved again and looking to replace the chaise with a new three seater for room proportion preference. I can’t recommend this couch enough. 5
Comfy sofaKarenThis is the 4th Ektorp sofa we have bought so been very happy in the past. It’s extremely comfy, however the cover fabric and quality has changed. It’s a magnet for dog hair and sticks to the fabric like glue! White dog, blue sofa is not a good mix3
Perfect!KatieIt is a versatile piece I can dress it up any way I like! Classic looks, really comfortable and such good value for money!5
Fabulous SookI have purchased 1 seater and 3 seater 10 yrs ago for myself. It’s had been great for me.
it’s a classic piece, still looking great after all this yrs! - good price and very comfortable.
I have purchased again for my sister 2 of 3 seaters and she’s loving these. 5

Not a patch on the old EktorpYvonneThe back cushions are dismal. Luckily I still have my old 12 yr old Ektorp in sunroom so switched the back cushions over
The grey green colour looks nothing like the advertised colour in your glossy ads I exchanged for the beige which I’m happy with2
Comfy and timelessMichellewhat’s not to love about this couch - comfortable, easy to assemble, washable covers, timeless style and looks great. Love it in the grey as it coordinates with everything. 5
Easy assemblySonyaComfortable and washable cover are great if you have pets.5
Great LoungeTroyWe are extremely happy with our new lounge, it is comfortable, well built and fits in nicely. Also, very easy to assemble.5
It's been a beauty!Anonymous reviewerI'm not sure how long I've had my EKTORP, it might be as much as 15 years and it's been a beauty. Can't fault it. I've just recently put replacement covers on it and it looks and feels like new. It's been a very good buy. :-)5
Wonderful couchAdelynI love my Ektorp three seater sofa. So comfortable and delivered on time. I would have liked a better time frame on the day of delivery. Staying home all day for a 5pm drop off was difficult to arrange.5
Ektorp family friendly loungeJodiBought my 3 seater and two armchairs 13 years ago and have served us well. Would love to be able to purchase replacement cushions as they are now starting to break down, the horrible stuffing covering. Should have been cotton. Would love to get replacement seat cushions and new covers in the blue floral pattern that was so hard to get previously. Also delivery to regional WA needs to be reinstated as we country folk relied on it.

Not as good a previous modelsLeanneWe had to replace an older model of this sofa as we discovered a feather allergy in the family and the bottom seat cushions had a layer of feathers under the foam. This newer model doesn’t have the feathers which is why we chose to replace with the same. The bottom seat foam cushions are comfortable but the back cushions are flimsy and thinner than the previous model, unfortunately they slip down and are not as comfortable. Also we noticed that the padding around the arms on the frame is thinner which is another reason we were disappointed with this newer model. 2
Very comfortable and spacious couchBillCost, comfortable couch with plenty of room for two or 3 people. 5
Quality has droppedMartinThis was the 2nd Ektorp that I bought, 3 years after the first one. Unfortunately, it was easy to see that cushion fill was reduced, arms were less padded, number of springs had been reduced and seemed weaker. Decided to pay for return in the end and give up on Ektorp now.1
Lovely sofaNicoleExcellent quality easy to assemble, extremely comfortable looks great 5
The GOATToniI have had my Ektorp sofa and armchairs for over 20 years. They are THE best. IKEA, please do not stop making them or the covers. There used to be a large selection of covers, but now we are down to only 4 or 5. My suggestion is to make more as we are a pet household and don’t want to commit to a couch that we can’t take the covers off to wash or update. Not many places do it, but you do. Please don’t change this concept because it works. 5
Just TERRIBLEAmyThis is the 6th EKTORP sofa I have purchased over the years and I am so disgusted and disappointed at the extreme reduction in quality. The cushions all have very inadequate stuffing. They’re nothing like they used to be. The covers are also terrible quality in comparison. I have developed terrible lower AND upper back pain from the sagging and sinking. I was sent replacement cushions which of course are just as bad. To make things worse, I saw that the price was reduced by $200 soon after my purchase. No doubt because they are aware of the now terrible quality of these sofas. 1
