Could be betterLenThe pull out gets a bit stuck after only 3 months. It would be nice to have a removable cover [L shaped] which can be purchased with the product to protect the original fabric4
Fabric started to loosen upMichhalCushions deformity2
Poorly made with flimsy materialsAnonymousThe back rest of my Friheten sofa snapped after only 3 years of owning it. While the design is very clever, it's overall poorly constructed with every detail being skimped on. The back part which broke for me is made of structural chipboard joined together with large staples, no wonder it gave out. The upholstery is all just stapled on, and every inch of surface which isn't immediately visible from the outside is either bare of upholstery or clad in an unsightly black fabric, meaning you can forget about turning over the cushions for even wear.
It's also one of the worst assembly experiences I've had with Ikea, as connecting the chaise section involves leaning in underneath the liftable storage to screw in multiple nuts, but without being able to place your weight anywhere due the to the bottom of the storage area being made of a single piece of cheap lightweight chipboard with a big sticker on it instructing you not to press down on it.1
Excellent Second SofaKellyanneGreat sofa bed for the family room. Easy to assemble, and easy to covert to a bed with great storage for pillows and linens. Firm but comfy seating and sleeping. So far it’s had little kids and big kids (20s) sleep over and no complaints 😁4
Good qualityAmandeepBit firm. Not soft4
Firm and stable.StevenGreat product at a good price.5
Great sofa - but.AnthonyI like the sofa, the design and functionality. But I feel it's a little low quality for a Ikea product. Screws are alreay coming loose.3
Quality has gone down from a few years agoRussellThis is our third of these sofabeds, in the exact same fabric and colour, as we’ve moved overseas a few times, but the quality has gone downhill. The fabric piles easily, the foam doesn’t bounce back very quickly, and it’s losing its shape. We’ve only had this one for just over a year. Our first two looked like new, even after several years of owning them and heavy use. 3
Not sturdy enough on the one side without the "L" attachmentHoneylette MiaIt was easy to assemble. But not sturdy enough to carry weight on the weak side leg (without "L" attachment). The weak side leg keeps sliding out. Not sure how to fix it.4
Love ItJennyEasy to fold out to a bed and fold away. The storage section is excellent for storing the bedding. The mattress is "comfortable" - certainly not inner spring comfort but good for sleepovers.5
5 years old and still perfect ArchanaI bought the leather look fabric and I'm amazed. My lounge is still in great condition with no tears or flaking. Well done Ikea5
Cheap fabricZulalThe frame and storage mechanism are good, but the fabric and seating foam are disappointing. The fabric pilled and the foam lost its shape after just a month of use.3
Worst. Lounge everMelanie-LeeThe stitching has started coming apart on All the cushion and the sides it’s only 6 weeks old know have to take it back and get them replaced!1
It’s fineDanIt’s good enough. As a bed it’s pretty hard but good as a couch. Could do with an extra cushion. If you can get 4 not 3 it would be cool. 4
Good valueGlebFeels good to sit and sleep on5
FRIHETEN Corner sofa-bed with storage - DO IT! KristyI got the FRIHETEN Corner (bomstad black) sofa-bed with storage, as I didn’t want to spend too much on a sofa bed because I have young children.
This was very easy to set up- the instructions were great. I built it on my own.
At first, it felt a little hard but it softens up with use. We’ve had it for 3 months now and it stays in bed position as my children like to lay & game, however, it is very easy to pop it back into couch position to vacuum etc; it just slides back into the couch with ease. (It is on carpet)
A black queen sheet fits it perfectly.
It is very easy to clean.
An absolute winner for the price of it! 5
Great for the price!AdityaComfortable sofa that turns into a bed with storage spaces. The only reason for 4star is should a heavy weight person be using this repeatedly, the couch slowly tends to sink in the areas that don’t have support plank running underneath. 9/10 it’ll work. Recommend!4
Value for money Chun KwongGood 4
bad design MaryThe back cushions on this lounge don't sit up ! I Have even tried double sided tape and that doesn't hold them. They continually slip down onto seats and it looks so untidy and its really annoying.we Regret buying it !2
FRIHETEN corner sofa bedHalimaI bought this sofa bed three months ago.
It's very nice and comfortable but I choose leather fabric as its easy to clean but it's just three months and fabric has started to break. I checked the warranty but there is no warranty on fabric .so I would not recommend the leather fabric .as its not durable.i really wanted it to get fixed as its quite minor but it can get bigger.4
